Al Martino a.k.a. Johnny Fontaine 1927-2009
Al Martino is dead:
S. Philly-born singing star Al Martino, 82
AL MARTINO, a South Philly kid with a big voice whose ballads reached high on the charts from the 1950s on, died yesterday of a heart attack in his Springfield, Delaware County, home. He had celebrated his 82nd birthday last Wednesday.
His death was sudden and unexpected since he had not been ill and was still performing. In recent years, he was most popular in Europe, especially Germany.

Just watched the Godfather the other day. I have a few of his recordings on vinyl, great voice and talent.
