Fred Marcellino (1939-July 12, 2001) was an illustrator and later an author of children's books.

("Ricordate Marcellino" is a tune covered by Renato Corazone and Les Baxter.) Albums featuring a single whistling track are numerous, of course, but it took a Lowery or Marcellino to cause listeners to whistle back at them in amazement.
