"...Fazio's evocative voice, precise phrasing, and almost operatic delivery that nevertheless avoids theatrical excesses. Comparisions can be made with other male vocalists such as Harry Connick Jr., or the quintessential crooner Frank Sinatra but Fazio is very much his own man."

"Sam Fazio's return to the Chicagoland area after nearly two decades in Las Vegas is definitely a bonus to the music scene of the Second City. Fazio defines smooth. He manages to combine a classy, yet hip, approach to his renditions of an extensive list of standards and pop hits. There's a cool and soothing quality in Sam's voice and delivery which are reminiscent of the classic Sinatra at his best. Fazio has that rare ability to connect with his audience on a personal level. He is able to kindle a flame in your heart or stir up your soul.

Sam frequently appears in the Coq d'Or room at the Drake Hotel. This intimate location is just the kind of atmosphere in which he thrives. Among some of my favorites performed by this remarkable singer were "The Way You Look Tonight" and "Beyond the Sea." Let's hope that Sam Fazio remains a fixture in Chicago."
