Dick Haymes - Hits Collection 1941-56 (CD)

Blessed with matinee idol good looks, Dick Haymes was one of the most popular and successful singers of the post-war era, registering his first Billboard chart entry in 1941 and racking up a string of hits through the '40s and into the '50s, his last coming in 1956 after the rock 'n' roll era had made it's impact.
