June 3 - Jan Peerce (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Jan Peerce (3 June 1904 – 15 December 1984) was a beloved American operatic tenor.
 [Last year's verse on Josephine Baker can be found here.]

Jan Peerce, Tenor

Toscanini, who admired him,

Heard his voice and then he hired him,

And that is why we still can play

Stacks of sets from RCA.
