Frank D'Rone
“...a singer with an individual sound that invites no comparisons; a singer who
understands a lyric and tells a story when he sings it; one of the few singers
who can change a mood of a room from song to song by moving from one emotion to
another naturally.”
—Nat “King” Cole
“ A seasoned singer for all seasons. Few equal D’Rone’s mix of voice, guitar.
The superb jazz improviser somehow manages to combine the best of two worlds: a
warm baritone that adeptly expresses melodic nuances and a fluid guitar
technique that operates exclusively at the virtuoso level.”
—The Chicago Tribune
