[78-L] Julius La Rosa

[DanK]

 Mr. La Rosa  appeared at several of Buffalo's "Italian Heritage" 
festivals, and was always a big attraction, as well as being a classy man. 
He had a nice singing voice, to say the least.

This from the Daily Mail:

"Julius La Rosa, a pop singer known for hits including "Eh, Cumpari," whose 
firing live on the air by Arthur Godfrey in 1953 overshadowed his successes 
that followed, has died at age 86.

His death was confirmed Saturday by his daughter, Maria La Rosa Smith, of 
Ridgefield, Connecticut, and Joe Charapata of the Rhodes-Charapata Funeral 
Home in Crivitz. Smith said her father died in his sleep of natural causes 
Thursday at his home in Crivitz, Wisconsin. Services will be private, she 
said."
