January 8 - Giorgio Tozzi (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Giorgio Tozzi (January 8, 1923 – May 30, 2011) was an American bass singer.

Pay No Attention to the Man behind the Screen

Giorgio Tozzi, Chicago bass

Earned himself a special place

In the annals of his art

Singing all the greatest parts.


Equally, he took control

When he did a Broadway role.

But sometimes on the movie screen

He was heard but never seen.

If I have to be specific,

I refer to South Pacific.
