What users say about Perry Como
Don: The man was a picture of graceful gentility, calm, cool, and sophisticated. Who couldn't love him? he was embodied charm. You could feel the slow burn of his crooning. He lived a long time, he's been gone now at least 20 years and not unlike Frank or Dean, irreplaceable, and unforgettable. I miss seeing them, these were gentlemen. (March 20, 2022)Reply »
Quotes
I've done nothing that I can call exciting. I was a barber. Since then I've been a singer. That's it.
I don't work at home at all. Once you know a song too well, you start to fool around with it. At the session, when the band's working on the arrangement, I learn the tune right there.
