Long gone are the days of the smooth crooner, when the dulcet tones of Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole were regulars on the airwaves, life took place in black and white and kids grew up with Watch with Mother. Fast forward to present times and everything revolves around brutal reality, chaos beyond our control and kids watching the Teletubbies; which if the three is worst I shall let you decide.
Recently one Canadian gentleman has been staging somewhat of a musical revival for days both romantic and retro, and with dazzling success. Michael Buble has won the hearts of women of all ages around the world; he is suavely handsome, sings so smoothly you could ice skate on his melodies, and talks of a time where men sweep women off their feet and want more than just a quick one out the back of the club. Sounds pretty appealing to me, and a Christmas snuggled in front of the fire with such a man sounds like an even more attractive prospect. Thus, it is hardly surprising that Buble's version of festive classic 'White Christmas' is making an appearance on this list.
After a weary day in the exhaustingly harsh real world, you'd be a fool to turn down three minutes of sound reflective of a time when things seemed to be so much classier, thoughtful and downright easier.
