Synopsis

Perry Como put aside his dreams of being a barber to become one of the top American crooners of the 20th century and also one of the first multimedia stars. His record sales exceeded 100 million, with only Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra ahead of him in the history of popular singing. In 1948, Como crossed over to television and "The Perry Como Show" became the benchmark for a broadcast music and variety show. Como's career also illuminates developments in the music and television business in the middle of the last century.Features over 80 photographs, a complete discography, a listing of all TV appearances, and a year by year chronology from 1934 to 1994. Foreword by singer and music historian Michael Feinstein.
