But now the Argentine-born baritone is known only to those ardent fans and music historians who still claim him as one of the most talented popular singers of the twentieth century.  He worked with several great bandleaders  including Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey  before beginning a solo career that vaulted him to Hollywood stardom. In 1944  he worked with Twentieth Century-Fox  headlining such hit musicals as Billy Roses Diamond Horseshoe and State Fair. Popular recordings such as Little White Lies  The More I See You  How Blue the Night  For You  For Me  For Evermore  Speak Low  and Another Night Like This  made him a top draw at the box office.  In the 1950s  when television took over the media landscape and the appeal of musicals declined  Haymess career suffered. Despite efforts in the 1970s  he never re-established success. In The Life of Dick Haymes: No More Little White Lies  Ruth Prigozy uses over forty personal interviews with singers  musicians  composers  arrangers  and Haymess family members. She searches archival recordings of The Dick Haymes Show  films  recordings  music studies  and histories to present a full portrait of this complicated man. Prigozy chronicles Haymess childhood  his rise in the 1940s  his decline into alcoholism  his multiple marriagesamong them to such leading stars as Rita Hayworth and Joanne Druand divorces  and the minor resurgence of his career in Europe during the last years of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44955039989813,"sku":"ByrdShop_1578065518","price":32.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781578065516.jpg?v=1770296826","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-life-of-dick-haymes-no-more-little-white-lies-hollywood-legends-series","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
