Amerikas italienische Einwanderer haben sich unverhältnismä�ig stark auf die Kultur der USA ausgewirkt, insbesondere über die Musik. Künstler wie Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Perry Como und Al Martino erhellten die �ther mit ihrem kultivierten Schnarren, was bis heute gilt. Mario Lanza ist ein weiterer Name, der mit den Gro�en in einem Atemzug genannt wird. Seine Geschichte endete 1959 im Alter von nur 38 Jahren - doch ein goldenes Nachkriegsjahrzehnt lang war sein Name auf
allen Lippen. Er war auch einer der gröÃ?ten Stars Hollywoods, und von dem Moment an, in dem er 1949 in â??That Midnight Kissâ?? auf die Leinwand platzte und bis zu seinem letzten Film, galt Mario Lanza mit seinem guten Aussehen und seiner überschwänglichen Persönlichkeit als Naturtalent. -
America's Italian immigrants have had a disproportionate effect on the country's culture, and especially music. The likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Perry Como and Al Martino lit up the airwaves with their cultured crooning and are still revered in the current century. Mario Lanza is another name to rank up there with the greats. His story ended in 1959 at the age of only 38 - yet, for one golden postwar decade, his was the name on everyone's lips. He was also one of Hollywood's biggest stars, and from the moment he burst onto the screen in That Midnight Kiss in 1949 through to his last film, Lanza's good looks and exuberant personality made him a big-screen natural.

Known for his richly colored tenor, effortless top notes and passionate delivery, Lanza built a devoted worldwide following, and his recordings have continued to sell for decades after his early death.
