		Eckstein was the type of pianist who is often envied by both classical and jazz musicians: he was skilled in classical piano technique, while able to perform convincingly in popular styles.

		Billy Matteo sang "Blue Moon, I saw you standing alone, without a love in your heart, without a dream of your own," to Lucy and played his guitar for her.
		She'd met him at some singing club near her high school, and so they ran away with the result that Lucy was married and pregnant by age fifteen, and miserably bored with being stuck at home as a mother--not knowing how become the singer she dreamed she'd be.
		I thought Billy Eckstein sounded good with his rich voice and smooth diction, and his photo on the album was very handsome, even if his skin was dark.

		Billy may not be too well known these days, but should be, and his unique baritone sounds almost operatic, and Sarah keeps things flowing too, on these (mostly) duets.
		It's one to cherish because Eckstine and Vaughan actually didn't record together that much, which is a surprise considering Sassy always considered Billy her mentor and great friend.
		Billy has rarely topped his rich baritone vocals here and Sassy complements him beautifully.

		Billy Beane is above average but not the best.
		In the last case the decision to walk Larry would add an extra runner to the mix, but because it would remove the chance of the runner on second advancing I'd say it cancels out (Ecksteins weak power means Walker isn't likely to score from first anyway).
