Editor's note

Perry Como's gentle baritone and television charm

A singer whose relaxed style defined mid-century pop and made him a fixture on TV for fifteen years.

For the full Como effect, put on 'The Summer Wind' or 'Magic Moments.' That's where the calm settles in.

Como's voice gave songs like 'The Summer Wind' a quiet, lived-in warmth that felt like a conversation. His television show ran from 1948 to 1963, bringing that ease into living rooms every week. He recorded everything from 'Magic Moments' to 'Sunrise, Sunset,' leaving a stack of records that still sound like Sunday afternoon.

He started in local clubs and radio, then joined Ted Weems' Orchestra in 1934. After going solo in 1942, he cut hits like 'Till the End of Time' and hosted his own TV show. Later albums included 'It's Impossible' in 1971.
