Πέρι Κόμο

Ο Πέρι Κόμο (Pierino Ronald " Perry " Como,   ; 18 Μαΐου 1912 – 12 Μαΐου 2001) ήταν Αμερικανός τραγουδιστής, ηθοποιός και τηλεοπτική προσωπικότητα. Κατά τη διάρκεια μιας καριέρας που διήρκεσε περισσότερο από μισό αιώνα, ηχογράφησε αποκλειστικά για την RCA Victor για 44 χρόνια, αφότου υπέγραψε με τη δισκογραφική το 1943. 

Ηχογράφησε κυρίως φωνητική ποπ και ήταν διάσημος για ηχογραφήσεις στο οικείο, εύκολο στην ακρόαση είδος που πρωτοστάτησε ο σταρ των πολυμέσων Μπινγκ Κρόσμπι. Gibbens Gary "Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams" published by Little, Brown

Ο "Mr. C.", όπως ήταν το παρατσούκλι του, πούλησε εκατομμύρια δίσκους και πρωτοστάτησε σε μια εβδομαδιαία τηλεοπτική εκπομπή βαριετέ μουσικής. Οι εβδομαδιαίες τηλεοπτικές εκπομπές του και οι εποχιακές του αφιερώσεις μεταδίδονταν σε όλο τον κόσμο. Στο επίσημο αφιέρωμα του περιοδικού Billboard της RCA Records, η ζωή του συνοψιζόταν σε αυτές τις λίγες λέξεις: «50 χρόνια μουσικής και μια ωραία ζωή. Παράδειγμα για όλους» 

Ο Κόμο έλαβε πέντε Έμμυ από το 1955 έως το 1959,  και ένα Βραβείο Κρίστοφερ το 1956. Μοιράστηκε επίσης ένα βραβείο Peabody με την καλή φίλη Τζάκι Γκλίζον το 1956.   Έλαβε το βραβείο του Κέντρου Κένεντι το 1987 και εισήχθη στο Hall of Fame της Ακαδημίας Τηλεοπτικών Τεχνών &amp; Επιστημών το 1990.    Μετά θάνατον, ο Κόμο έλαβε το βραβείο Grammy συνολικής προσφοράς το 2002 και εισήχθη στο Long Island Music Hall of Fame το 2006  Έχει τη διάκριση ότι έχει τρία αστέρια στο Hollywood Walk of Fame για τη δουλειά του στο ραδιόφωνο, την τηλεόραση και τη μουσική.
