LONG ISLAND, NY -- In the 1950s and ‘60s, singer Perry Como' weekly CBS and NBC television shows were seen in more American living rooms than any other performer.

Perry Como

 In a 1958 national poll, he beat Elvis and Sinatra winning a national poll of teenagers as the top male vocalist of the year.

 From singing a command performance for Queen Elizabeth to having three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, casual-laid-back Perry Como was America’s super-crooner whose voice was as smooth as a hot knife slicing through butter.

 He won a Grammy, five Emmys and a Kennedy Center Honor; he was still popular on television specials and Christmas shows until 1994.

For most of his singing career he and wife, Roselle, lived out of the spotlight, raising their three children in a lovely traditional home in Sands Point, Long Island, New York, which was so close to his heart that he continued to drive by and look at it for years after the couple moved to Florida.

 The Como’s much beloved family home is now for sale, priced at $2.9 million. The listing agents are Jill Berman and Rachel Sha of Douglas Elliman, Port Washington, New York.

Rachel Sha

Como died at age 89 n Jupiter Inlet Colony, FL.
