The Swinging Las Vegas Legends Show starring direct from Las Vegas - the Legendary Buddy Greco.
This is not a Tribute show - This is the Real Deal!



Buddy Greco really is the last of his generation still touring as neither Andy Williams or Tony Bennett plan to tour again. Buddy attracts a similar audience group to his good friend - Jack Jones. In this show Buddy will not only sing his swinging hits such as "The Lady Is Tramp", "Girl Talk" and "Around The World" but also talk about the golden years of Vegas and use images taken from his 60 years as a Las Vegas headliner, on a screen behind him. We are bringing this unique show to major venues in 2011.

ABOUT BUDDY GRECO AND SWINGING LAS VEGAS LEGENDS
During the golden years of Las Vegas, it really was “the city that never sleeps”, the home of stylish entertainment and the Kings and Queens of Swing. This remarkable show is a salute to those Legends and the city that made such an input on their careers – LAS VEGAS, NEVADA.



BUDDY WITH FRANK SINATRA AT THE SANDS - 1967
Starring Buddy Greco - A true Las Vegas Legend! who has headlined at every Casino in Vegas since the fifties and spent the sixties based at the famous “Sands” alongside Rat Pack Pals – Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr. He is the sole survivor of that generation of cool swinging greats.



BUDDY WITH MARILYN MONROE & SINATRA
(THIS WAS THE LAST PICTURE EVER TAKEN OF MARILYN MONROE - LAKE TAHOE: AUGUST 1962)

He started his career as pianist and vocalist for the great Benny Goodman and moved on to become one of America’s most popular recording artistes. He has the rare distinction of being chosen by Frank Sinatra to record for the prestigious “Reprise Record Company” which was formed by Sinatra himself. He was also the only American to perform at The Royal Command Performance with the Beatles in 1964. Hit records such as “The Lady Is Tramp”, “Around The World” and “Girl Talk” propelled Buddy to Legendary status in a business where he is recognised today as a major influence on the careers of the likes of Harry Connick Jnr and Michael Buble. He has recorded sixty eight albums and even recorded a live album with Frank and Sammy at Bally’s Casino.



BUDDY IN THE RECORDING STUDIO WITH DEAN MARTIN

Buddy has also recently opened his own nightclub in Palm Springs and recorded a new live DVD and CD, which the New York Times claimed was “Buddy’s best ever work… Greco is the original swingin' hipster. His masculine ultra aggressive singing style, perfect pitch and distinctive piano playing make him a one of a kind master performer.”



BUDDY STARRING AT THE SANDS HOTEL IN LAS VEGAS IN THE SIXTIES AND AT THE DESERT INN WITH SINATRA & DON RICKLES IN THE NINETIES

Sammy Davis Jnr once said of Buddy... "Buddy Greco's world is a swinging world. Whether he sings a great standard, whether it's an instrumental with the trio or a big band, whether he is singing the music or writing the music or writing the arrangement (for he is prolific in all three departments), the world of Buddy Greco is a very, very swinging world.” And he should know!

Buddy will not only sing his classic hits in this show, he will also talk about the golden days of Vegas and his wonderful experiences of working with Marilyn Monroe, The Rat Pack and many other Vegas stars. A screen on stage will also show images covering Buddy's 60 year Las Vegas career.
