Vic Damone – On The Street Where You Live
Biography
1. Vic Damone is an Italian American singer originally named Vito Rocco Farinola; born 12 Jun 1928 in Brooklyn, NY, USA. Perry Como visited the theater & Vic took him to his dressing room, to perform for him. Como liked the performance enough to take him under his wing & referred him to a local bandleader. Then, he took the name Damone (his Italian mother’s maiden name).
He entered the talent search, on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts & won the competition, in Apr 1947 - This led to him getting a regular role on Godfrey’s show (as with many other winners). At the station, he ran into Milton Berle, who provided 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” (30 Aug), reached #7 on the Billboard chart & “You Do” (1 Nov), 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 re-packaged & re-released.
2. Vic Damone is a rap artist from South Jamaica, NY who features on the “Queens Da Movement” mixtape (aka QDM) and is signed to Def Squad/Universal Records.

YES! That that last picture IS Vic! It must have been in the '40s (before some cosmetic corrections) ...but his eyes are still there. Check again. One of the greatest singers the USA has produced!

The powers that be here at Last.fm need to remove that last picture on the picture tab. I may be wrong but I'm thinking that is not Vic Damone.
