  • For much of his career, Mel Tormé performed at the peak of his profession, a jazz singer without peer who was revered by music lovers around the world. But Mel Tormé was so much more than just a great singer. He was a true Renaissance man, a talented musician and celebrated composer who became a fine arranger and orchestrator. He wrote books, acted in movies, hosted his own television shows. And to it all, Mel brought both a child-like zeal and a mature sense of completeness.
