Tino Rossi

Don't know much about this singer so off to "Wikipedia" to find out !!

 Constantin "Tino" Rossi (29 April 1907 – 26 September 1983) was Corsican singer and film actor. Rossi, born in Ajaccio, Corsica, was gifted with a voice well suited for opera. He became a tenor in the French cabaret-style. Later, he appeared in various movies. During his career he recorded hundreds of songs and he appeared in more than 25 films.
His romantic ballads had especially women swooning.  He remains the only French singer to have sold more than 700 million records. His disc "Petit Papa Noël" alone sold 80 million copies worldwide.

 Unfortunatly his 80 million seller is not on this L/P....
