Columbus
native Dick Mackey has been singing the American popular
songs he loves for many years. Dick brings a wealth of
experience and joy to every song he sings, whether as a
featured vocalist with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, the
Cleveland Jazz Orchestra or the New Remnants Dance
Orchestra. Paraphrasing scat singer Leo Watson, “It’s
the tune that counts,” says Dick. Dick has recorded four
CD’s; the most recent of which, Pretty Girl, was
featured on the CD101 radio show “Invisible Hits.”
Mackey’s musical artistry was featured in an issue of
Columbus Monthly magazine, in which writer T.C. Brown
referred to Dick’s onstage persona as “an engine of
lightness and energy.” Energy, indeed, is what Dick
brings to his passionate crusade to increase awareness of
American popular song. As Dick says, “A smile and a song
will see you through.” |
