Singer/Feb 1964" in black ink. B/w 8x10. Arthur Tracy (1899-1997, born Abba Avram
Tracovutsky in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Russian Empire) was one of the biggest recording stars
in both the U.S. and Great Britain in the 1930s and 1940s. Known as "The Street
Singer", Tracy, who had once sung for pennies on the streets of Philadelphia, had one of his
biggest hits with "Pennies From Heaven" (other hit tunes include "Roses of Picardy" and
"It's A Sin to Tell a Lie"). The Street Singer was also the title of his radio show (1931) and a
feature film (1937) in which he appeared. A star of vaudeville, Tracy also co-starred on radio
with such greats as Groucho Marx, Jack Benny and Bing Crosby, and he headlined at the
London Palladium. Tracy also appeared in several feature films, including Limelight (1936),
Follow Your Star (1938) and Crossing Delancey (1988). Multiple tack holes in corners.
Creased (not visible head-on). Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
