Vic Damone: Singing Star

At the North Shore Senior Center, Nielsen Campus:  Vic Damone: Singing Star with Susan Benjamin, Musical Biographer


Vito Farinola (Vic Damone) wanted to be a singing star, but this accomplishment was a long shot. However, recognition by Arthur Godrey, Milton Berle and Frank Sinatra moved him toward success. Despite his checkered personal life (five wives and unsavory acquaintances), Frank Sinatra promoted him as "the kid with the best pipes in the business." This program spotlights Vic's personal trajectory and provides examples to demonstrate why he became a star.
