RCA UK DPS-2036 "Here Is Perry Como"
STEREO DYNAFLEX
ASSEMBLED 1972
Perry Como has been described as the most relaxing popular
singer of all time. Once a barber and later a featured singer in the
Ted Weems band, Como really hit it big in the mid-'40s
via his radio series and a host of hit records on Victor. When television
came along, Como went along with it, heading one of its
most successful and longest running series. And now into the '70s,
Perry Como is still recording hit after hit.
With his smooth, easy singing style and relaxed and soothing manner,
it's little wonder why his career has flourished so long.
