Italian Standards and Ballads by: GSL Entertainment

Most of our clients, particularly at formal affairs, appreciate the class and elegance of Italian-style "crooners" such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Andrea Bocelli or the "new Sinatra," Mr. Michael Buble.  While the suggested song selections below may be more Italian kitsch than authentic Italian, these songs are sure to delight guests during the softer moments during your affair.
