Artist Profile: Perry Como
Nothing uptight about "Mr. C". Perry Como was the definition of laid-back during his more than six decades in show business.
He was one of the most successful singers of popular music through those years, hosting tv shows and specials, and selling records, enduring, even as he was knocked off the charts, first by rock and roll in the 50's and then by the Beatles and the British Invasion of the 1960's. He earned so many gold records, that he stopped counting!
Artist Profile: Petula Clark
She was born November 15, 1932 in Surrey. Both of Petula Sally Olwen Clark's parents were nurses but her father secretly wanted to be an actor and her mother was said to be a natural singer.
Artist Profile: Matt Monro
He’s known as a “Singer’s Singer”, a man who influenced generations of performers, from Karen Carpenter and Cass Elliot to Michael Bublé. Even Frank Sinatra, to whom Matt Monro was frequently compared, acknowledged his gifts. Yet, his success in the United States was modest, never coming close to his popularity in his native England.
