RCA Victor's "In the Groove" 1948Publicity Photo Circa 1946 On November 14th, 1951, Hank appeared on the Perry Como Show. The kinescope for this show has never surfaced, however, many are convinced by evidence such as still shots like the one seen here that it does exist. Hank sang only one song which was "Hey Good Lookin'". The following week, Perry opened his show with a parody of "Hey Good Lookin'" performed by Cactus Como ( Perry ) and “The 3 Skunkville Violets” ( The Fontane Sisters ) on Station KFUD — with apologies to Hank.The Perry Como StoryThis Is Perry ComoPerry with Connie StevensPerry — Early PosePerry Como's Kraft Music HallPerry at CBSPerry with Julie Andrews & the MuppetsSing to Me Mr. C.Dream Along with MeDream Along with MeSing To Me Mr. C.Sing to Me Mr. C.Perry at the piano"Saturday Night with Mr. C."Old Friends"Christmas in the Holy Land"RCA Victor AdvertThe Modernaires with Paula Kelly say a musical hello to Perry ComoEarly portrait of PerryLive! at the White House for President & Mrs. Reagan & Italian President Sandro Pertini Live! at the White House for President & Mrs. Reagan & Italian President Sandro Pertini Perry for President - promotional advertisement 1962Perry Como & Eddie FisherBernadette Peters with Perry & Pam DawberNow on Mutual Radio for ChesterfieldLa Voix de Son Maitre - Chi Baba, Chi Baba ( My Bambino, Go to Sleep )Early portrait of PerryTed Weems, His Orchestra and Stage Revue!!Betty HuttonMY DAYS OF LOVING YOU - Recorded by Perry Como on RCA RecordsPerry Como SingsChristmas Seal Campaign SongPerry Como German Starfoto1946 Fleers AdWhere's your Como button?PerryRomantic Ballad ManPerry at RCAPerry at RCA40 Years with RCAWe Get Letters Vol. 2Perry in ConcertYes sir, Mr. Como!Las Vegas Rehearsal 1972Billboard Ad 1965 - The Scene ChangesBillboard Ad 1965 - Dream On Little DreamerJo Stafford and Perry ComoDinah Shore & PerryCole Porter in ParisOn February 7, 2003, the most successful American woman film composer ever - Los Angeles based Shirley Walker took the podium at Warner Bros.
