| Lyricist Dick Manning was born in
Gomel, Russia, on June 12th, 1912, less than one month after Perry was
born. A long-time and prolific Como composer Dick Manning co wrote
many hit records and popular standards recorded by Perry over a twenty
year period stretching from "Nyot N'Yow ( The Pussycat Song )"
which Perry performed a cappella with The Fontane Sisters, his first
recording with them, in December of 1948 through to "Buongiorno
Teresa" in 1968 which was introduced in his 1969 "Seattle"
album. |
