this crooner (rated debatable, as I will explain later, to entertain no) was known for an album that had a friend song selected by Garci (yes, the same, the director) recalling their guateques juveniles. Apart from one side devoted almost exclusively to heavy Paul Anka, I discovered several gems: one was a "Holly McKerel" of Little Richard. I've never found that song performed by Queen and I have my doubts if it is poorly recorded and credited to Richard when it's some wannabe wild vocal style of this. The other was a beautiful version of "Unchained Melody" by one John Gary. Look, there have been versions of this song and see that there is bad and redundant. But this equals that of the Righteous Brothers and that's saying a lot.
centuries without ever I hear another song misera more of this kind, not even a mention in passing in a music magazine. Nothing but a rumor that Garcia said in the text of the LP (which Gary had had an affair with Nancy Sinatra) the most absolute of the gaps. Until I got online and download some songs from it. Not many, since not found a whole LP, but loose songs included in any compilation of hits this year that this album was edited. Miraculously repeated the success with another song versioned by the Righteous Brothers, "Ebb Tide" * (one of the best melodies ever written) and managed to blow a devastating sadness to a decent song (so sad, more than anything) of a Nick Drake "Softly as I leave you ". The history of this song is funny. It is said that the letter is made entirely of the letter that a sick man left his wife the night he felt that would be his last hours. Reads:
Gently, gently abandon you
For my heart would break if you woke up and you saw me leave
So abandon you gently
Before you throw me under
Before that ask your arms I stay
For an hour or another day
After all these years
I can not stop the tears from falling
Gently, so gently
As I leave you
Another thing you should about Gary is that in the case of the seventies Elvis, there is a live version where Gary and Elvis sing a duet. Elvis is reciting the lyrics, while Gary sings. Although my bad English because I'm not sure.
Well, Staying within the content of these disks ( "Catch" contains versions of "Ebb Tide" and "Unchained Melody" ) The first thing that attracts attention is the clean vocal style of Gary. It has a light tenor register (this is not a tenor with little weight or meaning of the second, but an agile tenor with a voice for the treble flourishes) with three octave range and singing taste awful. He knows when to stay sober when slipping into a falsetto that put the beautiful art ( hear this the end of "Tender is the night" or "And this is my beloved" ) as shown bombastic and sing with full voice. And besides being a consummate balladeer ( his version of "Stella by starlight" not of this world) so overboard with the hottest rhythms like swing "Ol 'Man River" or the calypso in "Take me in your arms" . That end in a delicate falsetto so characteristic of Gary from a technical point of view could even be a crutch to avoid giving high marks to his chest, which is what seems to suggest the instrumental crescendo, but it gives a dramatic impression of a man who because of the emotion can only hold a small voice that add rather than subtract.
initially claimed that Gary is not a crooner but that these have passed into history under Sinatra's voice (which is not a crooner), are actually types "murmuring" (crooning) sweetly, in low voice, using the virtues of microphone to amplify his bit voice. Sinatra and Gary are scarce volume types or registration.
