Composers and singers are well aware that the same song can be performed in different ways. In the audience, there is even a concept when a performer "spoils" a hit. Singer Rosemary Clooney had an inimitable style of performance.
Starting conditions
The popular American pop singer Rosemary Clooney was born on May 23, 1928 in an ordinary family. Parents lived in the famous city of Beverly Hills. My father worked at an enterprise for the production of military equipment. The mother was engaged in housekeeping. In addition to Rosemary, two more children were growing up in the house - older brother Nick and younger sister Betty. The relationship between mother and father did not go well, they either diverged, then moved in again.
One day my father left home and did not return. A seventeen-year-old girl had to earn a living on her own. By this time she had completed her secondary education at a local school. Rosemary had a good voice and even sang popular songs at school events. At one point, together with her sister Betty, she went to the casting and passed the qualifying round. They began performing on the stage as a duet.
Professional activity
After a short period of time, Rosemary began performing on her own. She got a personal agent who represented the interests of the singer when signing contracts. In the early 50s, Clooney was one of the ten most popular American pop stars. Her songs "Come back home", "All in half", "Our old house" and others occupied the top lines of the most authoritative ratings. In modern terms, the singer was in the lead in all the charts.
Clooney's pop career was developing quite successfully. In the second half of the fifties, the singer was invited to television as the host of an entertainment program. The new direction of creativity has added fame to her. However, after a few years, the popularity of the singer and television actress began to decline. The era of rock and roll demanded a different facet of talent from performers. Rosemary was having a hard time with this kind of transformation.
Essays on personal life
In the early 70s, Clooney performed with the famous singer Bing Crosby. They held several large-scale events, after which Rosemary returned to solo performances. The next stage in the acting field was work in the advertising business. Spectators and consumers will remember the presentation of cotton towels for a long time.
The singer's personal life has developed unevenly. Rosemary was about to marry her co-star in the movie Red Armbands. However, just before the wedding, she ran away with actor Jose Ferrer. In this marriage, five children were born. Husband and wife often quarreled and even disagreed. Two sons followed in the footsteps of their parents and chose the acting profession. Rosemary Clooney herself died of lung cancer in June 2002.
