Perry Como is inducted into Michael Ball's Singers Hall of Fame

Nominator: Deborah Haley
From: Church Fenton

Deborah has her choice of Perry Como inducted into the Singers Hall of Fame on Sunday Night with Michael Ball.

Why: "I was introduced to his records by my Dad, Terry, whilst I was a teenager. I’d be listening to pop music in the seventies and Dad would shake his head and tell me to listen to some REAL singers. He said β€œthese guys records will stand the test of time and I will be listening to them, when I am older, forgetting the rubbish I am listening to now .” I would roll my eyes when he would play Nat king Cole, Ella & Louis, Matt Munro, Sarah & Billy, Louie Prima, Pavarotti and – of course - the effortless, smooth voice of Perry Como. How right he was!"

Your father had a marvellous taste in music! Thanks so much for getting in touch Deborah!
