Cornell, Don

Cornell, Don
▪ 2005
Luigi Francisco Varlaro 
      American singer (b. April 21, 1919, Bronx, N.Y.—d. Feb. 23, 2004, Aventura, Fla.), recorded a series of hit ballads in the 1950s and early '60s and sold more than 50 million records during his career. Cornell, a baritone, joined bandleader Sammy Kaye's orchestra at the age of 23 and scored one of his early major hits in 1950 with his rendition of “It Isn't Fair.” Soon afterward, Cornell struck out on his own, and he crooned his way to stardom with “I'll Walk Alone,” “Hold My Hand,” and “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing.” Even into his 80s he was a regular on the supper-club circuit.
