[78-L] name that era - a proposed answer

[rjh334578gmail]

Thomas,  As the instgater of this whole  thread, I  really do  
appreciate the link you sent. Some good information there.  I learned  
a few things from it.

It really was The Singers Era. That just doesn't have the pizazz that  
the term Big Band Era evokes so maye you guys who champion the period  
can concoct a better term.  I wouldn't be too shocked if you called it  
the Great Singers Era. Sounds better, anyway. Great is always a matter  
of opinion, to be sure, but look at the names Sinatra,  Como, Clooney  
and even late-era Crosby and you could make a decent case for it.  It  
was, after all, the final period of the Great American Songbook, so  
that would be a fitting title to use.  Just spell my name right when  
you write the book.
