Vocalist Psychoanalyzes As He Croons; Must Sing 'Sweet, Simple, Direct'
New York (U.P.)—Ever wonder what a romantic baritone thinks about when he croons love songs into a microphone?
Psychology, says Kenny Gardner, or what makes dancing couples cuddle cheek-to-cheek during one song and glare at a band leader during another.
The handsome blond vocalist with Guy Lombardo's band said nobody seems interested in the subtle approach now.
It used to be 64 bars before you'd say 'I love you,' now people want it in 16 bars or less," he said. "You've got to be sweet, simple, and yet now."
Tany's been singing professiona- for 13 years, so he figures he could tell the psychologists a helpful thing or two.
The working man, Kenny reasoned, didn't have the same leisurely approach that the wealthier pre-war night club habitues had.
"It's just since World War II that the biggest difference came," he said. "One reason-probably is that now we're getting the working folks who couldn't afford many nights out 10 or 12 years ago."
"Another thing, though," he added. "No matter who they are, every man thinks he's a Crosby and every gal thinks she's a Dinah Shore. I watch them singing in each other's ears. You gotta give them simple arrangements or they don't like it."
Change keys in the middle of the number, he explained, and the fellow singing in his girl's ear goes sour. He holds it against the band.
"Or if you throw them these real wild orchestrations, the fellow thinks 'who loused me up,' Kenny said. "Then he turns and glares at us."
"Some day I'd like to get me a hidden camera and take pictures of what a singer sees," he said thoughtfully.
