History
Perry Como (born Pierino Ronald Como, May 18, 1912, in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania; died May 12, 2001) started out as a small-town barber before he was talked onto a bandstand in Cleveland in 1933 and hired on the spot by Freddy Carlone's orchestra; he moved on to Ted Weems's band in 1936. From 1943 he recorded exclusively for RCA Victor for 44 straight years, becoming one of the defining voices of vocal pop and easy listening in the intimate, relaxed crooning style Bing Crosby had popularized. His breakthrough came in the mid-1940s with "Till the End of Time" (1945) and "Prisoner of Love," which Billboard ranked the top single of 1946. Nicknamed "Mr. C.," he went on to sell more than 100 million records and pioneered the weekly musical variety TV show, winning five Emmys (1955-1959) and a Peabody Award. One genuinely notable record: he became the highest-paid performer in television history at the time, a fact noted in the Guinness Book of World Records, and his 1958 hit "Catch a Falling Star" won the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
