Like fellow Italo-American Frank Sinatra, Perry Como was a product of the Big Band era and also like Frank he managed to re-invent himself for the 1950s youth market in such a fashion that, during the height of the birth of R&R, there was Perry, again like Frank, putting out hit after hit after hit.
