Rosemary Clooney (1928-2002) ﹐生於Kentucky州的Maysville ﹐只因父親是個酒鬼﹐故13歲時跟與妹妹 Betty跟隨母親居住﹐而弟弟 Nick就與父親同住。湊巧Rosemary ﹑Betty及 Nick都在演藝界發展﹐後來 Nick的兒子也在影圈闖出名堂來﹐他就是George Clooney。1945年﹐Rosemary與 Betty組成姊妹花開始於電台演唱﹐翌年她便作為Big Band大樂隊的主音﹐並且簽約 Columbia唱片﹐直到1949年為止。當她作單飛的時候﹐她仍然在Columbia旗下灌唱。1951年首次擁有一張大熱單曲Come On-a My House。1954年聯同Bing Crosby參演電影 White Christmas ﹐翌年又得到一首3星期的冠軍歌Mambo Italiano ﹐並且經常亮相於電視節目。1958年﹐Rosemary離開了 Columbia ﹐直到1966年﹐先後簽約 MGM﹑Coral﹑RCA Victor﹑Reprise﹑Dot及United Artists等。1968年好友Robert F. Kennedy遇刺﹐使她大受打擊﹐終日沉溺於藥物當中。70年代末﹐她復出並灌錄新作﹐不過大多是演唱 Standards的歌曲。她一生結婚3次﹐有兩位丈夫﹐其中兩名兒子Miguel Ferrer及Gabriel Ferrer都是演員﹐後者更曾與 Debby Boone (Pat Boone的女兒) 結婚。(muzikland)

Mambo Italiano
A girl went back to Napoli
Because she missed the scenery
The native dances and the charming songs
But wait a minute, something's wrong
Hey, mambo! Mambo italiano!
