without perry como, for sure! ever since i was in the 5th grade, i had a crush on perry como. i would watch his show faithfully every week. i was constantly sending him letters. if you peeked inside my schoolbooks, you would nearly always find one in progress. even in black and white he was my idol. he would sing, "dream along with me," and i was right there, dreamy and starry-eyed. he never read one of my letters on the show but that was okay, no doubt he saved them for when he was alone in his dressing room, right? i was certain of it! we even shared the same food likes...."hot diggity, dog diggity" and i liked hot dogs too. when color TV came, especially when color TV came, he was dreamy. i have this christmas album and others too. in fact, i just copied all my christmas LPs onto CD so i could take them in the car. sadly, perry is no longer with us but he lives on in spirit and CD. thank goodness for that, but it's not nearly enough for me.
He was very easy on the ears. Though I can't claim to have been such a fan, I always enjoyed him.
