*Sylvia* - Oley Speaks (1874-1948; music) & Clinton Scollard (1862-1932; words) Oley Speaks is best known for setting to music Rudyard Kipling's poem _Mandalay._ The rsong _On the Road to Mandalay_ was recorded by many artists. I'd recommend the versions by Frank Sinatra, Frankie Laine, Count Basie, and Oley Speaks himself (piano solo).
It is interesting to compare it with the recording by Richard Crooks, who sings it well but without the imagination Tauber brings to it. The beautifully controlled swell and diminuendo on the final note is a case in point - it shows the difference between a good and a great singer. Tauber sings the whole thing mezza voce. The range is not great, so there is no strain on higher notes.
