There are 2 artists who go by the name of Vic Damone
1 - Vic Damone (born June 12, 1928 in Brooklyn, New York) is an Italian American singer. He was born Vito Rocco Farinola.
One day, Italian American Perry Como visited the theater and Vic took Como to his dressing room to perform for him. Como liked the performance enough to take him under his wing, and referred him to a local bandleader. At this time, he took the name of Damone, his Italian mother’s maiden name.
He entered the talent search on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts and won the competition in April, 1947.
Winning that contest led to his getting a regular role on Godfrey’s show (a step that figured in the careers of many other Talent Scouts winners). One day he ran into Milton Berle at the station and Berle got him a chance to do regular shows at two night clubs. By the middle of 1947, he had a contract with Mercury Records.
His first release, “I Have But One Heart” (August 30) reached #7 on the Billboard chart. “You Do” (released November 1) reached the same peak. These were followed by a number of other hits. In 1948 he got his own weekly radio show, Saturday Night Serenade.
His final album was issued in 1997, with other albums being re-packaged and re-released.
2 - Vic Damone is an upcoming rapper from South Jamaica, NY who features on the forthcoming ‘Queens Da Movement’ mixtape and is currently signed to Def Squad/Universal Records
