By Gloria Mason


History classes should teach all students about famous Italian singers. These are very important people to remember who often bring joy into many people's lives. Every American citizen has heard about such great singers like Frankie Laine, Perry Como, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Franks Sinatra, Vic Damone and Luciano Pavarotti.

Frank Sinatra was known to everyone as "Ol Blue Eyes" and people all over the world loved his music. This man was the king of jazz music and he had very famous people following him around. Frank was married several times to different actresses and none of the unions lasted very long because of his Hollywood lifestyle. His marriages were quite reckless but his entertainment skills were excellent.

Dean Martin became famous for his singing and acting career while he was alive. People would line up by the dozens just to hear him belt out a great tune. He acted in many movies with Jerry Lewis and a variety of these terrific films made an excessive amount of money. This man had male ancestors from Italy who were all considered to be playboys in their time.

People who live in Queens, New York are very proud of a man once known as Anthony Dominick Benedetto. Many fans who live over the globe know of him as Tony Bennett. This shorter name helped to push his career even further since people could remember it better. During the 50's and 60's this man was able to earn a great deal of money. Children in school consider him to be a great role model.

Perry Como's birth name is Perino Ronald Como which is a very unusual name in America. Perry used to cut people's hair while trying to make it as a recording artist. In the year 1943 he was able to sign a contract with one of the most popular recording studios in America. He also did work on television during his time as a live stage performer.

Gennaro Luigi Vitaliano changed his name to Jerry Vale many years ago. Jerry was born in the Bronx, New York and had always wanted to become a performer. He was very popular at shining shoes while attending school in New York City. He had a kind employer who liked the sound of his voice and offered to buy him music lessons and this was the break that Jerry was looking for.

Vic Damone was once married to the very lovely Diahann Carroll and they enjoyed years of happiness together. These two would often perform duets together and everyone loved to come and view their shows which were performed in Las Vegas each year. Mr. Damone was born in Brooklyn, New York and his birth name was Vito Rocco Farinola.
