 Musical and Comedy (1930s-1950s)
It all began in the 1930s - after marrying his high school sweetheart and starting his own barbershop business, Perry began singing with the big bands. Quickly gaining popularity, he was compared with the likes of Sinatra and Bing. Over his long career, Perry sold over 100 million records. “Catch a Falling Star” in 1958 marked his first (of 27) gold records. Known for his hits, “It’s Impossible” and “Til the End of Time,” Perry continued singing until his last breath.
