I too wasn't a fan of the crooners. He did have a beautiful voice and he did always seem so happy doing what he was doing. He continued with the concerts for several years after he was diagnosed with dementia.To be honest,I've never been a fan,but I have to say I did enjoy his performances here the last few years with Gaga,Elton John and Carrie Underwood.He really seemed to be enjoying himself immensely in a time where some of the older established performers wouldn't give the " youngsters" the time of day.
