Melvin Howard Tormé (September 13, 1925– June 5, 1999), nicknamed The Velvet Fog, was an American musician, best known as a singer of jazz standards. He was also a jazz composer and arranger, drummer, and actor in radio, film, and television, and the author of five books. He composed the music for the classic holiday song "The Christmas Song" ("Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire") and co-wrote the lyrics with Bob Wells.
Early years
Melvin Howard Tormé was born in Chicago, Illinois, to immigrant Russian Jewish parents, whose surname had been Torma. A child prodigy, he first sang professionally at age 4 with the Coon-Sanders Orchestra, singing "You're Driving Me Crazy" at Chicago's Blackhawk restaurant.
Between 1933-41, he acted in the network radio serials The Romance of Helen Trent and Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy. He wrote his first song at 13, and three years later, his first published song, "Lament to Love," became a hit recording for Harry James. He played drums in Chicago's Shakespeare Elementary School drum and bugle corps in his early teens. While a teenager, he sang, arranged, and played drums in a band led by Chico Marx of the Marx Brothers. His formal education ended in 1944 with his graduation from Chicago's Hyde Park High School.
Right Now! is a 1966 studio album by Mel Tormé. Columbia followed up Tormé's 1965 album of standards with "an obvious bid to sell records by putting Tormé's voice on pre-sold hits of the mid-'60s." "The Velvet Fog's" descent on contemporary middle-of-the-road top-40 melodies from Paul Simon and the Bacharach-David catalogue leads some to emphasize the commercialism of the project and file this period of Tormé's career in the lounge music section of records stores, as evidenced by his appearances on compilations like the Ultra Lounge series. However, music critic Will Friedwald makes a strong case that the work of Tormé and arranger Mort Garson elevated the project above "an album of straight "covers"."
In 1997, Right Now! was treated to a CD reissue, with previously unreleased bonus tracks and liners notes.
Right Now! is one of Little Richard's lesser-known albums, released without much publicity on the United Records label. Despite this, the songs contained some of Richard's stronger material from his 70s period, including "Chain Chain Chain", more commonly known under the title "Chain of Fools."
History
Right Now! was recorded in January 1973 possibly in Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, Alabama, and issued with no publicity as a low-budget LP. Richard himself recalled that: We were about to start a tour and we needed some money. So Robert "Bumps" Blackwell and me got a deal for one album with an advance of ten thousand dollars from Kent Modern. We went into the studio and did it in one night. I did material we had worked out together. I prefer recording at night, my voice is in better shape then.
