Dick Haymes
Selected Discography
I understand that he wasn't a pro-Nazi, he left because he didn't wanted to go to the military. They used that against him and didn't let him back in. Something Clinton would have done if he lived back then...

A bio would be great. I had never heard his voice before or heard of him.
I loved the voice and the song. |
||
Say what you want about him, but in the 40's the women loved him. a great voice.
|
||
Dick Haymes, although a fine singer, lost favor in the United States during WWII because it was reported that he was a Nazi sympathizer. I was a teenager at the time and remember it well.
|
||
I like Dick Haymes deep mellow voice and I always thought he sang very naturally.
|
||
Cannot understand why no bio of Dick Haymes. Arguably the best male band singer during the big band era and Hollywood after. Believe he had problems with alchohol addiction and was a Brazilian citizen.

I must mirror the sentiments of the writer, dated Dec 30, 2007: Where is My Haymes' Bio?
Always grateful to Pandora for the superb mix of available music entertainmen t . ANTHONY, Boston Ma |
||
I remember Dick Haymes not only as a fine baritone, but also for his marriage to Rita Hayworth and that he was a conscientiou s objector in WWII.

Why no biography for Dick Haymes? Was he not a major singer in the 40s?
