      Perfect. I don't care for the tie but I'd wear that suit to my wedding!

      I think the tie and suit are very elegant and probably ahead of the times, just like the man and his singing and piano playing.

      Here's how he sounded in 1947 - youtu.be/pcetzycdyK8 . Open in a new tab and stare at this photo again for an extra dimension . . .
