Constantin
"Tino" Rossi (29 April 1907 – 26 September 1983) was a Corsican
French singer and film actor.
Rossi,
born in Ajaccio, Corsica, was gifted with a voice well suited for opera. He
became a tenor in the French cabaret-style. Later, he appeared in various
movies. During his career he recorded hundreds of songs and he appeared in more
than 25 films, the most notable of which was the 1953 production, Si Versailles
m'était conté directed by Sacha Guitry. His romantic ballads had especially
women swooning and his art-songs by Jules Massenet (1842–1912), Reynaldo Hahn
(1875–1947), and other composers, sold out theaters wherever he performed.
He
remains the only French singer to have sold more than 700 million records.
