What's Herb's best vocal?

[Phil Fox]

While "This Guy's..." undoubtedly the best seller and very melodic, I think by the time I go through my TJB collection (including Greatest, Four Sider, Definitive Hits, etc), I've heard it just a few too many times.

Unquestionably "The Bell That Couldn't Jingle" is my far and away favorite. I think maybe Herb's vocal stylings are well suited for novelty songs.

It's kind of like a performance of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's "Pollicle Dogs and Jellicle Cats" I recently heard on a CD box set. I couldn't wait to find out who the comic actor / singer was who gave such a natural rendering to the song. Turned out it was ALW himself on vocals and piano. I don't think his exuberant joy would have carried so well on "Memory" or "Phantom of the Opera."

All right, I wasn't going to make any more changes but since "You're Doing What You Did With Me With Him" has not gotten any votes, I changed that entry to "The Bell That Couldn't Jingle." So future voters will have that choice now.

Anyone who wants to vote for the Dore Alpert days can vote for "Tell It To The Birds," since it WAS a single release.

Lesson learned: Run any long list of tunes through the moderators before starting a poll!

I think you're doing great Mike!
