Crooners are male vocalists with beautiful voices. Most of the legendary ones sang pre, during, and post WWII right through the 60s. They were extremely popular and often are remembered for a signature song. For example, Frank Sinatra's is "My Way" while who can for get Nat King Cole's version of "Unforgettable."
Crooners mentioned in the poem were popular in the 50s and 60s:
Vic Damone ("On the Street Where You Live"), John Gary ("Danny Boy") and Roy Orbison ("Crying" and "Pretty Woman").
It is very easy to "crack" one's voice like I did by straining your vocal chords and singing too much.
