The lights dimmed, the crowd let forth an appreciative cheer, and onto the stage strolled the confident, swaggering, decidedly masculine figure of a dapper gentleman in a three-piece suit, complete with fedora.

He launched into a convincing, swoon-worthy rendition of Michael Buble's "Feeling Good" that had everyone in the packed Majestic Theatre enthralled by his charisma and charm.
