The Velvet Fog?
When you think of funky music, the first name that comes to mind is definitely not this week's entry... known as the Velvet Fog, it's Mel Torme! Yup, he was a teen idol in the 40s, on Nightcourt in the 80s (remember?) and, it also turns out that he had some damn cool records. First - from his 60s LP 'Mel Torme - Right Now!' check 'Comin' Home Baby' (which, as a side note, appears to have been written by Bob Dorough, of Multiplication Rock fame) for some serious big band funkiness! Also, from his 1974 LP Live at the Maisonette, dig his version of Stevie's 'Superstition'!
