Published by Timothy Stapay (A0.1258022)."Santa Lucia" is a traditional Italian folk song; here arranged as played by the famous pianist, Carmen Cavallaro. Mr Cavallaro was of Italian heritage, and was famous on records and in Hollywood movies as a virtuoso romantic-style piano performer.
Carmen Cavallaro (May 6, 1913 – October 12, 1989) was an American pianist. He established himself as one of the most accomplished and admired light music pianists of his generation.
Cavallaro formed his own band, a five-piece combo, in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1939. His popularity grew and his group expanded into a 14-piece orchestra, releasing some 19 albums for Decca over the years. Although his band traveled the country and played in all the top spots, he made a particular impact at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco, which became a favored venue. Other venues where he drew large audiences included New York’s Hotel Astor, Chicago’s Palmer House and the Coconut Grove in Los Angeles. In 1963 he had a million-seller hit recording of the song, "Sukiyaki".
Cavallaro's single best-selling recording was his pop version of "Chopin's 'Polonaise'", Op. 53.
He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6301 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood.
