TOMMY MARA

TOMMY MARA hatte in den 50er Jahren seine musikalische Hochzeit.
1953 war er bei Jubilee Records. 1954 bis 1956 war er bei MGM mit
Songs wie "Pledging My Love", dann wechselte er 1957 zu RKO und
auch Unique für 2 Platten, bevor er im Sommer 1957 auch auf National
eine Single heraus brachte. Von Ende 1957 bis 1959 kamen
mindestens 4 Singles bei Felsted heraus. 1959 gab es etwas auf Vassar
und im März 1960 eine B And F-Single (1334).

TOMMY MARA hat NICHTS mit dem Mitte der 50er Jahre geborenen
gleichnamigen Sänger mit der Rudi-Völler-Frisur zu tun,
der mit neuen Crests im Oldie-Zirkus in den USA unterwegs ist. Daher
beginne ich mit Neueinspielungen, aber einem alten Foto von 'unserem'
TOMMY MARA...
