(Fox News) – Legendary crooner Vic Damone passed away
on Sunday at the age of 89. He was born Vito Rocco Farinola
in Brooklyn, New York.

Damone entered the talent search on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent
Scouts and won in April 1947. This led to his becoming a regular

got him work at two night clubs. By mid-1947, Damone had
signed a contract with Mercury Records. (WIKIPEDIA)
