Updated: 24 Jan 2013

Born in 1925, Ronnie Deauville had a promising career ahead of him when a tragic accident, coupled with a tragic illness brought an eventual halt. He had been making a name for himself, singing with big bands and appearing on TV and radio shows, when he was involved in a serious auto accident in 1956 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Not long after, he contracted polio (just a few months before the preventive vaccine was discovered). He spent almost a year in an iron lung and was told he'd never sing again, due to diminished lung capacity. But through therapy he was able to regain most of his singing voice and made an attempt at resuming his career. Due to his precarious health he had to give up live performing and club dates. In later years, he dubbed singing for various movies, etc. and died in 1990 of cancer. This song was from an album he recorded 3 years after his accident and contracting polio, entitled "Ronnie Deauville" (aka Romance With Ronnie - Ronnie Deauville Sings)on Imperial (released as mono only) Song was originally written in 1936, by by Billy Hill; recorded by Benny Goodman, Dean Martin, Otis Redding, and by The Five Keys; also recorded by Bette Midler on the "Beaches" soundtrack album.

15 Minutes of Romantic Beauty! Louis Daniel Armstrong (August 4, 1901 -- July 6, 1971), nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, was an American jazz trumpeter and singer from New Orleans, Louisiana. Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an "inventive" cornet and trumpet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the music's focus from collective improvisation to solo performance. With his instantly recognizable deep and distinctive gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also greatly skilled at scat singing, vocalizing using sounds and syllables instead of actual lyrics. Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet-playing, Armstrong's influence extends well beyond jazz music, and by the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general. +++ Annunzio Paolo Mantovani (November 15, 1905 -- March 29, 1980) known by the mononym Mantovani, was an Anglo-Italian conductor and light orchestra styled entertainer with a cascading strings musical signature. The British Hit Singles & Albums book noted that he was "Britain's most successful album act before The Beatles... the first act to sell over one million stereo albums and had six albums simultaneouly in the US Top 30 in 1959". +++ Dean Martin (June 7, 1917 -- December 25, 1995), born ...

Here is a beautiful song from 1959 performed by the fantastic and inalterable Petula Clark. Petula Sally Olwen Clark (born in 1932) is an English singer, actress and composer best known for her upbeat popular international hits of the 1960's, especially "Downtown". With more than 70 million records sold worldwide, she is the most successful British female solo recording artist. She also holds the distinction of having the longest span on the UK pop charts of any British female artist — 54 years. In 1944, while performing at London's Royal Albert Hall, Clark was discovered by film director Maurice Elvey, who cast her in his war drama "Medal for the General". She then worked with Anthony Newley in "Vice Versa" (directed by Peter Ustinov) and Alec Guinness in "The Card". In 1946, she launched her television career with an appearance on a BBC variety show, "Cabaret Cartoons", which led to her being signed to host her own afternoon series, titled simply "Petula Clark". A second, "Pet's Parlour", followed in 1949. In later years, she starred in "This is Petula Clark" (1966) and "The Sound of Petula" (1972-74). In 1949, Clark branched into recording with her first release, "Put Your Shoes On, Lucy", for EMI. She scored a number of major hits in the UK during the 1950's. In 1958, Clark was invited to appear at the Olympia in Paris where she was received with acclaim. Her initial French recordings were huge successes.

William "Bud" Abbott and Lou Costello (originally Louis Francis Cristillo) were a pair of American comedians who performed on stage, then on radio and in films, and finally on television during the 1940s and 1950s and were considered the most popular comic team of their time. They did a baseball routine called "Who's On First?" that is still considered one of the funniest comic routines of all time. Abbott, who was born in 1897 and died in 1974, was the sly straight man, and Costello, who was born in 1906 and died in 1959, was the bumbling (and dumb) comic who went for the laughs. Toward the end of their career, bad health slowed them both, plus the new comedy team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis had come along to steal their crowds. They pretty much dissolved their partnership in 1957, two years before Costello died of a heart attack. Background is the classic "Who's On First?" baseball routine, performed by Abbott and Costello.

He joined Ben Bernie's orchestra in 1928, where he remained for several years.

His band worked often in hotels in New York City and was chosen to play at the New York World's Fair in 1959--60. During World War II Stabile led a band while serving in the Coast Guard; Gracie Barrie led his ensemble in his absence. After the war he moved to Los Angeles, where he began working with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis from 1949 up to his death. He was the leader of the orchestra on many of Martin's popular recordings. Additionally, he worked with Jimmy Dorsey and Vincent Lopez.

BACKGROUND he American frontier comprises the geography, history, folklore, and cultural expression of life in the forward wave of American westward expansion from the original colonial settlements to the early 20th century. Enormous popular attention in the media focuses on the second half of the 19th century, a period sometimes called the Old West, or the Wild West. As defined by Hine and Faragher, "frontier history tells the story of the creation and defense of communities, the use of the land, the development of markets, and the formation of states." They explain, "It is a tale of conquest, but also one of survival, persistence, and the merging of peoples and cultures that gave birth and continuing life to America."[1] Through treaties with foreign nations and native tribes, political compromise, military conquest, establishment of law and order, building farms, ranches and towns, marking trails and digging mines, and pulling in great migrations of foreigners, the United States expanded from coast to coast fulfilling the dreams of Manifest destiny. As the American frontier passed into history, the myths of the west in fiction and film took firm hold in the imagination of Americans and foreigners alike. America is exceptional in choosing its iconic self-image. "No other nation," says David Murdoch, "has taken a time and place ...
