45years of my 70 is not nearly enough time to appreciate the music that Perry has afforded us . His music and style will always be gold.

[@jeffneis553]

We have never known a person that smiled as much as Perry did, he was in a good mood on stage as much as he was off stage, he was a great treasure and we are still sad that he is no longer with us, Perry, Roselle and Nick Perito were the three greatest and kindest people we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We miss you more each day !! Love ya, Jeff and Linda.

[@katherinecollins1876]

ONCE IN A LIFE TIME WE MEET A MAN LIKE YOU,!!!! My love for you!!!

[@eduardoibazeta8157]

It was a phenomenon that neither his voice nor his appearance aged! He was 59 years old when this tv show was aired on. And let's face it, he was also handsome!

[@royandjacqueline1294]

He was always on the radio in the 60s and 70s💞 He was on the television, sometimes. I didn't know that he was that gorgeous. Next to my husband and Elvis this man is the most handsome of all men 🥰🇯🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🕊️🔥✝️

[@raygray7779]

Now this is what I call music. I love Perry's music. He was by far better than the rest.

[@irenemccann7032]

I’m an eighty two year old lady, and I remember hearing Perry singing in our house way back about 1951, Don’t Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes, and I’ve been hooked ever since, what a singer and what a man handsome and a he was a great living person,I saw him live in Glasgow in 1974 I think it was , and I went to see both his performances in the same evening, he was magnificent.

[@CostAnder]

Lovely memories!

[@xanthia9536]

I envy you...

[@irenemccann7032]

Gabriele Bendel, yes Gabrielle I realise how lucky I was, especially as he didn’t tour,but came to Britain in appreciation for his fans , I was living in Scotland then and lived nine miles from Glasgow, that is where I went to see him.he was magnificent.

[@stanleyhoover4244]

All First Class, Most Humble, and Exquisitely Talented! 🙏❤️🇺🇸

[@JLNeis]

Perry was a great personal friend of ours for many years, he will always be missed for all the good things he had done, even outside of his music. He truly was an exceptional person, what you saw was what you got a humble, friendly, loving person for which we will never see the likes of again, we miss you Perry, more everyday. Jeff and Linda

[@guitargod6997]

I will never forget. For me growing up in the Fifties, Perry Como was one of the classiest performers on TV. I remember asking my father who his favorite singer was. He thought for a moment, then said "Perry Como". My father, a surgeon, had grown up in a poor family working from a young age and a child prodigy on the violin who worked in his father's barbershop. Perry remains an idol for me and reminds me of my father's kindness and character.

[@walterbatch5296]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE OF THE GREAT PERFORMERS OF HIS ERA!!!! RIP PERRY. YOU ARE CERTAINLY AMONG THE MOST GOD INSPIRED ANGELS..........

[@jeantetreault132]

Eventhough, Perry Como wasn't from my generation, but as a young fan of his, to me he was the best top single selling record male singer, according to the American Billboard Chart, between, 1940 and 1970, despite Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, or even Dean Martin, for that matter. In other words, Perry Como outsold more records than anybody else in the world, even before Michael Jackson, as well. Thank! you so much, for this magnificent! presentation, on the KZbin channel.

Perry como a fost un mare cântăreț popular, unul dintre așa numiții crooners, actor și prezentator de televiziune american de origine italiană. Anul nașterii:18mai 1912,canonsburg, pennsylvania statele unite ale americii. Zodia taur. Data morții:12 mai 2001,jupiter inlet colony, florida, statele unite ale americii. Mare păcat CĂ nu știm să ne apreciem marii noștri artiști minunați geniali și unici cât mai sânt încă în viață lângă noi să îi iubim prețuim și respectăm valorile așa cum a fost marele și regretatul meu maestrul preferat perry como care nea încântat alintat și răsfățat cu toate melodiile dansului interpretate în fața mariei sale publicului spectator drag și fidel și care a plecat la cele veșnice și care ne-a părăsit în această viață. Bunul dumnezeu să vă aibe în pază și protecție să vă odihnească în pace maestre eterne regrete și sincere condoleante familiei marelui artist pentru CĂ nu se va mai putea naște niciodată un asemenea mare om genial și unic cu vocea sa caldă melancolică romantică. Din partea unui admirator fan și spectator drag și fidel radu angheluta bucurești România Sectorul 3al capitalei piața alba iulia. Amin.

Дорогой Cost Ander ,в очередной раз ОГРОМНОЕ Вам спасибо,я посмотрел концерт Токио 1979, но отписываюсь на этом.Да это музыка моего настроения. Особенно в этот осенне-зимний период, эта музыка успокаивает. Сейчас у меня часто звучит Frank Sinatra "Duets", Rod Stewart "The Great Akerican songbook",Shirley Bassey ... Перечислять можно долго... Теперь буду искать качественный диск Perry. Я Вам очень благодарен!!!!!!!!! Уюта Вам в душе и тепла в общении!!!

Спасибо за ваши пожелания, Анатолий! Рад, что помог вам найти музыку под настроение и для души. Благополучия вам и вашим близким!

Why did Perry Como have such eccentric backing singers on his records.

[@irenemccann7032]

The thumbs down people have been used to rubbish , they wouldn’t know a great singer and a decent song if they heard one, I feel sorry for them .as when they g3t old they certainly will not like what they where used to listening to.

[@musicom67]

3:20 - BBC's Ronnie Hazlehurst is all over this production (close ears hear "Two Ronnies" arrangements here). Tight orchestra with the intricate arrangements - and 'ol Perry can barely get air out of his lungs or figure out where the end of the recorded overly-arranged music is...

Yes, first time I've ever heard him off key or faltering...

[@sergiodario58able]

Did the Americans of the time percive Perry Como as Italian, or American?

[@Michaelbos]

Sergio Dario , Italian, even though he was born in the U.S. and he was an Italian/American. But here any entertainer who has Italian blood in him is always regarded as an Italian. Plus, unlike Sinatra, Perry could understand and speak Italian.

[@sergiodario58able]

@@Michaelbos Thanks for your explaination, i had no idea..yeas he spoke a decent Italian, i know because there's a video of him appearing on an Italian music show of the 60s where he conversed with the presenter with ease..A lovely man with a cracking personality and on top of that a great singer and entertrainer.. P.S. i'm surprised Sinatra didn't speak any Italian at all.

[@Michaelbos]

Sergio Dario , Sinatra knew the swears lol

[@irenemccann7032]

You’re what you’re DNA is, mine is Italian same as Perry’s, I didn’t know he was Italian till a good bit later. But hey who cares he is and was the best of the best. RIP and I thank God for giving us this wonderful human being.🙏🙏🙏
