Dick Haymes (September 13, 1916 – March 28, 1980) was one of the most popular American male vocalists of the 1940s and early 1950s.
He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His Irish-born mother, Marguerite Haymes (1894-1987), was a well-known vocal coach and instructor. He became the vocalist in a number of big bands, worked in Hollywood on radio and in many films throughout the forties and fifties.
He never became a United States citizen and avoided military service during World War II by asserting his non-belligerent status as a citizen of Argentina, which was neutral. Years later (1955), this act of his nearly caused his deportation to Argentina on an unrelated technicality in immigration law. During World War II, he was briefly detained at Ellis Island.
Haymes was married six times and had six children. His most famous marriages were to film actresses Joanne Dru (1941-1949) and Rita Hayworth (1953-1955). His daughter Stephanie Haymes was married to Sir Elton John’s lyricist Bernie Taupin
He died in Los Angeles from lung cancer, at the age of 63.

davidcomp55 Dick Haymes was in the movie "4 Jills in a Jeep" with Kay Francis, Martha Raye, Betty Grable, and many others from this period. It's quite an entertaining movie about touring USO singers in Europe with lots of well-produced music.
