Perry was the best--no contest. What you see is what you get. A wonderful guy with no airs who could make a bad day happy just watching or listening to him. He added so much to my life from my teenage years to his last live performance" Christmas in Ireland".

I remember watching this Special many many years ago... I Loved the Brilliant rendition of Perry's "Wind Beneath My Wings" So Beautiful and moving... it brought tears to my eyes. It was always intended for Rosalie his wife... although he shared it on the show. I LOVE hearing him perform it! That voice of Mr. C So perfect!! Thank you

Perry was a great close friend of ours, what you saw is what you got, a gifted, beautiful, talented, gracious person that we will never see the likes of again. He was very generous, I would go to the mail box and there from his office under his direction and of course autographed was a 3 cd set of his new releases. I have a program from his show in Indiana 1991 and he went through and signed every page for me. Perry where ever you are I hope you can hear this we love you and miss you more everyday, especially at the holidays!

Perry Como; what a classy guy. He had to have been close to 70 years old when he sang that song, and still could hit all the notes; RCA should have released that as a single before Bette Midler released the song. Great man, great voice, ego in check, decent guy. More entertainers could learn humility from Mr. C.
@emg88108 жыл бұрын
Johnny, you're spot on. Bette Midler's rendition is an abomination, especially when she gets to the end of the song. It's almost as if she doesn't know how to end it. On the other hand, Mr. C is so smooth in his delivery with just the right ending. Mr. C stands there and delivers a moving rendition. Buy his last album, "Today," which includes this song. Actually, "'Today," Perry Como's 29th and final album for RCA Records, which contains the song "Wind Beneath My Wings," was recorded for this album in 1987, two years before it was a hit for Midler.

He had several 'collections' of boxed sets of 45's since he was on RCA, as well as 78's before that. Budget-priced Camden also released collections, but actual 12" LP's on first run RCA Victor LP's is probably about 29 new LP's from 1959-1987. There are also collections by other labels, such as "Real Gone" Music / Records, that has a 3-CD set of ALL of Perry Como's Christmas releases, LP's, singles, 10", box sets, etc.

Very sad to read some of the negativity directed at Bing on this site, on what should just be about a wonderful tribute from one talented and great singer to another. Read the new info about Bing that dispel a lot of the half truths and mistruths directed at this good man since his passing. This tribute from his friend is truly beautiful....

Excellent chanteur que ce Perry Como......mais il a eu la malchance d'avoir une très belle voix qui était en réalité un mix de Sinatra, de Martin et de Crosby !!! cela, tout compte fait, ne pouvait que le desservir parce qu'on ne pouuvait s'empêcher de le comparer à ces trois-là....3 des plus belles voix de l'Amérique à cette époque : les diverses comparaisons lui ont ,dès lors, toujours été défavorables d'autant plus qu'il n'a pas su conduire son plan de carrière comme'il l'aurait souhaîté

Perry Como etait le roi des chanteurs durant la decennie 1948-59 a cause de son success a' television. Television etait son metier. Il ha vendues plus disques que les autres a cette epoque a cause de TV. Peut-etre, il n'a pas reussi comme les autres pendant toutes les decennies etait le resultats de son manque de ego.
