Mel Tormé was an American musician and singer best known for his classic jazz vocals. He was also a jazz composer and arranger, a drummer, an actor in radio, film, and television, and the author of five books. He co-wrote the classic holiday song “The Christmas Song“ (“Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire“) with Bob Wells. In 1944 he formed the vocal quintet “Mel Tormé and His Mel-Tones“, modeled on Frank Sinatra and The Pied Pipers. His appearance in the 1947 film musical “Good News“ made him a teen idol for several years. His 1949 composition “California Suite“ became Capitol Records’ first 12-inch LP album. His recording of “Careless Hands“ was his only #1 hit, although “Again“ and “Blue Moon“ became his signature tunes. His singing at New York’s Copacabana led a local disc jockey to give him the nickname “The Velvet Fog“. His last hit was the 1962 R&B song “Comin’ Home, Baby“
