Crooner is a style given to male singers of older pop standards, mostly from the Great American Songbook, either backed by a full orchestra, a big band or by a piano. Originally it was an ironic term denoting an emphatically sentimental, often emotional singing style made possible by the use of microphones.
Interestingly, some performers, such as Frank Sinatra said that he did not consider himself or Bing Crosby "crooners"
