The Top Male Jazz Vocalists- # 16 Harry Connick Jr.

16. HARRY CONNICK, JUNIOR

Harry Connick, Jr. was born in New Orleans in 1967, and was a child musical prodigy who made his first recordings when he was only 10. Connick made his first album as a professional in 1987, and soon attracted attention for his piano playing and his singing, which showed a love of standards and the influence of Frank Sinatra. 

Connick's soundtrack album for the film "When Harry Met Sally..." made him a household word. Since then, Connick has recorded albums with big bands, small groups, and in jazz and pop styles.

His most recent album, "Come By Me," was a return to a big band style, and it was a Grammy nominee. Connick has also acted in a number of movies, and has written many of the songs for his albums in recent years.

Here is Harry with one the greatest love songs from the swing era...."It Had To Be You."
