Singer/actor Julius La Rosa (1930-2016) got his start with radio-TV personality Arthur
Godfrey, was as famous for getting fired on the air in 1953 as he was for his smooth
ballads, which showed his appreciation for a song's lyrics. After leaving Godfrey, La Rosa
worked in clubs, on television and in summer stock. Beginning in 1969, he began an
eight-year stint as a DJ for a popular radio show in New York, before returning to singing
and summer stock. La Rosa, whose biggest hit was "Eh Cupare", continued singing well into
his 70s and made occasional forays into radio and TV. In 1980, he was nominated for a Best
Supporting Actor Emmy for his role as Renaldo on the TV soap, Another World. He also
appeared in one feature film, the 1958 Let's Rock!. Normal mailing folds. Lightly toned.
Slight creases. Otherwise, fine condition.
