A You Re Adorable discusses about Perry Como. Pierino Ronaldo "Perry" Como (May 18, 1912 - May 12, 2001) was an Italian American crooner during the latter half of the 20th century. Selling around sixty million records in his long career, he signed an exclusive recording contract with RCA Victor in 1943 and stayed with the company for nearly fifty years. Como was born in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, 20 miles south of Pittsburgh.

Although he always liked to sing, his first great ambition was to be the best barber in Canonsburg. After graduation from high school, he opened his own barber shop. In 1933, he married his teenage sweetheart, Roselle Belline. They remained married until her death; Como was devastated by her passing.The Fontane Sisters were a trio (Bea, Geri and Margi Rosse) from New Milford, New Jersey. Originally they performed with their guitarist brother Frank, but he was killed in World War II.

They were featured on a radio show done by Perry Como and Como's later television program. In 1949 they were signed by RCA Records, and did some recordings as backup to Como. In 1951 they had a minor hit with "The Tennessee Waltz," of which bigger recordings were done by Patti Page and Les Paul and Mary Ford. In 1954 they switched to Dot Records, where they had 18 songs in the Billboard Hot 100, 10 in the top 40.
