Born:
Perry Como, born Pierino Ronald Como on May 18, 1912, in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, was an American singer and television personality. He was the seventh of 13 children born to Italian immigrant parents, Pietro Como and Lucia Travaglini Como. Growing up in a tight-knit Italian-American community, Como's love for music was evident from an early age.
Como's professional career in music began in the 1930s when he joined the Freddy Carlone Orchestra as a vocalist. He gained attention for his smooth baritone voice and soon caught the eye of bandleader Ted Weems, with whom he recorded his first major hit, "You Can't Pull the Wool Over My Eyes," in 1940.
