 Richard Tucker
Tucker met Sara Perelmuth, the sister of the equally famous Opera Singer/Chazan Jan Peerce (although the two never became close), and when he married her in 1936, he was a part-time Chazan at the weekends, in New Jersey and a fur salesman during the week.
Tucker continued singing on the radio, as a result of which he was finally 'discovered' by the Met.
As keen as Tucker was to sing on the stage, he was also deeply attached to the Bimah, and he must have been very disappointed when pressure was put on him to give up his position at the Brooklyn Jewish Centre.
