JOHNNY RAY
The singer amends the name of the agent authorized to accept payments
due to Ray.
Document signed: "Johnny Ray", 1 page, 6½x6½. No place,
1954 May 20. His ink signature on a mimeographed form letter designating
an agent to accept checks or money payable to Ray. Ray has crossed out the
name Famous Actors Corporation at two points, substituting in his own hand the
name of business agent Bernard A. Lang. The tear-inflected voice of pop singer
Johnnie Ray (1927-1990) made him as an early 1950s sensation. His 1951
histrionic million-seller "Cry", with background vocals by The Four Lads,
remained perched atop the charts for nearly three months. Nicknamed "The
Prince of Wails", Ray, who was nearly deaf, encored with "The Little White Cloud
That Cried", "Walkin' My Baby Back Home" and "Just Walking in the Rain". His
frenzied antics set off riots among female admirers during his heyday.
Multiple mailing folds. Surface creases. Otherwise, fine
condition.
