Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis, Sinatra and...???

[Nostalgic]

Hi all,
I remember the music my Mom used to play during the holiday season was some of the best memories of the year. Life was chaotic when I was a kid, but Mom seemed to calm down a bit during the holiday season and would hum and even gently sing when she played songs by Bing, Frank, and Johnny.

If you all could help me remember who else she might of played and listened too, that will help me a bunch to try to track down some of the music.

I just saw a name on another post, Andy Williams.
I think he was one too.

Thanks for any thoughts.

As I do not remember "names of songs" at this point.

Now I will look these names up and see if I remember any of them.
Think I will start with Tony Bennet.
