TONY MARTIN
He signs the typed lyrics to "Kiss of Fire," a hit for him in
1952.
Typed lyrics signed: "Tony Martin". 1 page, 8½x11. Titled:
"Kiss of Fire", Words and Music by Lester Allen and Robert Hill (Adapted from
A.G. Villoldo). 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. Lightly creased. Signature faintly haloed. Fine
condition.
