Italian opera singer Beniamino Gigli with his rendition of "Dicitencello Vuie" (Rodolfo Falvo - Enzo Fusco). Beniamino's parents did not look upon the arts as a secure career. Imagine how they felt when their son chose opera and his brother Lorenzo became a famous Italian painter.

Vic Damone (Vito Farinola) had the 1950 best selling version of "Just Say I Love Her" (Rodolfo Falvo - Jack Vai - Jimmy Dale - Martin Kalmanoff - Sam Ward) when it peaked at number thirteen on Billboard. Frank Sinatra once said that Vic had "the best set of pipes in the business".
