Arthur Prysock
Born:
During his prolific 43-year recording career, romantic crooner Arthur Prysock was heard primarily in the company of big bands or string sections.

His tender music has been a staple of jazz radio in the wee hours of the morning, and of cheek-to-cheek dancing in smoke-filled cocktail lounges. Arthur Prysock, Jr. was born in South Carolina and raised on a farm in North Carolina. Leaving home at age 16, he landed a job with an aircraft company in Hartford, Connecticut, which lasted until the firm found out he was underage

C. Michael Bailey's Best Releases of 2018
by C. Michael Bailey
The Pocket Philharmonic Orchestra, Peter Stangel Beethoven Revisited Symphonies 1-9 One thing that can be bragged on regarding Beethoven's nine symphonies is their artistic durability and persistence.
