A bandleader, musical arranger and founder of Cadence Records, Bleyer began playing the piano at the age of seven.
He also composed the jazz piece "Business In Q", which was performed by various "hot" bands in the 30s, and he became one of the best-known writers of stock arrangements for music publishers.
In the 40s Bleyer joined CBS radio as a musical conductor, and worked extensively on the Arthur Godfrey Show, remaining with it when it transferred to television in the 50s.
Bleyer spent as long as it took to find the right material for his artists, and even then would not hesitate to dump a session that didn't meet his standards.
In 1957, Bleyer met with Wesley Rose of publishing giant Acuff-Rose in an effort to recruit talent in the country field and came away with Anita Carter, Gordon Terry, and the Everly Brothers.
ArchieBleyer died from Parkinson's disease in 1989.
Bleyer is oncologist and medical advisor to the cancer treatment center at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend, OR.
Bleyer has been a champion of adolescent and young adult cancer patients concerning their biological development and special psychosocial needs.
Bleyer, who makes his home in Bend, OR, is an innovative cancer researcher, an influential teacher, a prolific writer, and a significant contributor to the field of pediatric and young adult hematology/oncology.
ArchieBleyer started caring for children with cancer in 1970, the outlook was a bit better, with approximately 20 percent of youngsters expected to survive.
Today, says Dr. Bleyer, the overall cure rate for childhood cancers is approaching 85 percent, and he believes it will surpass 90 percent by the year 2010.
Bleyer, who holds the Mosbacher Pediatrics Chair, advocates a much broader sharing of the increasing curability of childhood cancers with lawmakers, educators, employers and insurance companies.

For convoluted reasons, Cadence boss ArchieBleyer decided he didn't want Wray on his label, although Link was soon picked up by Epic Records and embarked on a lengthy subsequent recording career on various labels.
Bleyer's decision explains the pretty weird title of this archival CD, which performs one of those vault-clearing miracles collectors are starting to take for granted in the early 21st century.
ArchieBleyer was 43 years old when he founded his own record label in December, 1952.
Bleyer's orchestra usually backed up LaRosa's performances on TV, and it was a natural arrangement for the two to go into the recording field together.
Bleyer agreed over the phone to sign them and flew to Nashville to meet and record their first session.
Professor Bleyer, who is Director of the Community Clinical Oncology Programme at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre in Houston, outlined some of the causes:
Acute leukaemia, for example, changers dramatically after the age of 10-12 and breast cancer before the age of 30-40 is different than in older women.
Professor Bleyer said he was delighted that the Teenage Cancer Trust was one of the leading organisations in the attack on what was universal problem, not only for those diagnosed with cancer during their adolescence and young adult years but also for those trying to traverse that age interval after being diagnosed earlier in life.
When Bleyer quit Godfrey's show to concentrate on his new record company Cadence (with its first star Julius LaRosa, who'd been sacked 'on air' by Godfrey in 1953), he was also courting Janet Ertel.
Archie and Janet wed and the bond between the Chordettes and Cadence strengthened.
Bleyer began recording the girls using simple arrangements in order not to clutter the vocals, and in 1954 their second single Mr Sandman rocketed them to major chart success.

He went on to sign many other artists who had performed on Godfrey's programs (including The Chordettes, one of whose members, Janet Ertel, became his wife), as well as Andy Williams and The Everly Brothers.
Bleyer's connections with the Everlys also included serving as their producer and as father-in-law of Phil Everly.
Cadence started releasing singles in early 1953, with Julius LaRosa's "Anywhere I Wander." ArchieBleyer, the owner of the record label, used LaRosa's birth date (January 2, 1930) as the record number (1230) for his first issue.
Bleyer later started a separate series for EP issues, the CEP-100 series, which lasted from 1957 to 1961.
Not one to waste money, the label blank for the first label was used occasionally even after the maroon label was designed, and is known to have been used at least as late as the early pressings of "Hernando's Hideaway" on Cadence 1241.
