He signs a First Day Cover honoring Al Jolson
First Day Cover signed: "Tony/Martin", 6½x3½. FDC honoring Al
Jolson, 29-cent same stamp affixed, postmarked New York, NY, September 1, 1994,
FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. Stamped "The American Music Stamp Festival", the envelope
shows an Art Craft cachet at left picturing popular singers. Martin,
(1913-2012), was a popular crooner of the 1940s and 1950s whose
deliberate delivery and romantic ballads were more in keeping with vintage movie
musicals than the currents that would shape the pop music of the last half of
the 20th century. He made his first hit record in 1938, Now It Can Be
Told. After serving in the Navy in WWII, Martin made a brief but fairly
successful stint on Mercury from 1946 to 1947 that helped get things going for
him again, after which he moved to RCA and enjoyed many pop hits over the next
decade. He also got a lot of work in radio and television, and performed with
considerable success on the cabaret circuit with his wife, dancer-actress Cyd
Charisse. Fine condition.
