	Rosemary Clooney
		Rosemary Clooney was and still is an interesting anomaly in show business: a singer who achieved major success despite her lack of glamorous beauty, her failure to be a pin-up beauty queen.
		This undoubtedly was a factor in Clooney’s short-lived film career; she was unsuited in appearance to play the romantic lead, and yet her stardom was such that she could not be relegated to walk-ons.
		Clooney was a band singer then, and the band itself was the headliner.

		In 1946, Rosemary Clooney's first solo recording, "I'm Sorry I Didn't Say I'm Sorry When I Made You Cry Last Night," attracted considerable attention, largely because her unusual whispery delivery led disk jockeys to speculate that this would become the latest style.
		In fact, Clooney's "style," far from being a conscious choice, was the result of sheer terror: She had been so petrified during the recording that she could not sing with the full-bodied voice which she intended for the song.
