Joy, love, and laughter .. Rarely in the world of entertainment have these emotions struck greater heights than in the vibrant, thrilling songs and sketches of Lionel Ames.
The renowned singer-showman, who from youthful beginnings in the Catskill mountain resorts to the crescendo of his success, has captivated Broadway, night-club, TV and motion-picture-audiences, still claims his place is “among the people.” That’s where Lionel Ames excels: before a crowd. Wherever he performs, as if by magic, the crowds collect.
What is his magnetism? Said one of America’s leading critics, “…A superb voice, outstanding songs, contagious wit, timing, and a genial, relaxed style.That’s Lionel Ames.” Echoing this have been the accolades of VARIETY “Lionel Ames is a polished pro”), HOLLYWOOD REPORTER (“Lionel sings beautifully. He’s the master of ad-lib.”) and others who have come to watch this dynamic artist perform.
Lionel Ames’ music combines the well-loved songs of today and yesterday, old world and new, music of all languages, and more, all given a rich new expression. Yet it is not his songs alone which make him infectious. Audiences who do not even understand the languages of his lyrics enjoy him.
To each performance, Lionel Ames brings a deeply-won perfection that is the result of instinct and exposure, and he has something more: musicianship. Lionel Ames provides outstanding orchestras for private and public events from small receptions to mammoth conventions.
