- Vaughn Wilton Monroe (October 7, 1911 – May 21, 1973) was an American singer, trumpeter and big band leader, most popular in the 1940s and 1950s. Monroe was born in Akron, Ohio and graduated from Jeannette High School in Pennsylvania in 1929 where he was senior class president and voted "most likely to succeed. " After high school, he attended the Carnegie Institute of Technology, where he was an active member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity. Singer Vaughn Monroe's road to stardom went through Jeannette - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. He formed a band in Boston in 1940 and became its principal vocalist. He also wrote a number of songs ranging from "Army Song" to less known ones like the "Jeannette High School Alma Mater" In the 1940s, Monroe built The Meadows, a restaurant/nightclub on Route 9 in Framingham, Massachusetts, west of Boston. He broadcast his Camel Caravan radio program from there starting in 1946. It burned to the ground in December 1980. He recorded extensively for RCA Victor until the 1950s and his signature tune was "Racing with the Moon" (1941). Among his other hits were "In the Still of the Night" (1939), "There I Go" (1941), "There I've Said It Again" (1945), "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" (1946), "Ballerina" (1947), "Riders in the Sky" (1949), "Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)" (1949), "Sound Off" (1951), and "In the Middle of the House" (1956). He also turned down the chance to record "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". He was tall and handsome which helped him as a band leader and singer, as well as in Hollywood, although he did not pursue a movie and television career with vigor. He was sometimes called "the baritone with muscles", "the voice with hair on its chest", "'ol leather tonsils", or "leather lungs". Monroe died on May 21, 1973, shortly after having stomach surgery. He is buried in Fernhill Memorial Gardens and Mausoleum in Stuart, Florida.
- Vaughn Monroe war ein US-amerikanischer Sänger, Bandleader und Trompeter. Erste Aufmerksamkeit erlangte Monroe 1926, als er einen Amateur-Wettbewerb für Trompeter gewann. Nach mehreren Auftritten bei regionalen Bands wie Gibby Lockhard, Austin Wylie und Larry Funk, studierte er Gesang am New England Conservatory Of Music, um danach Jack Marshard's Orchestra als Sänger und Trompeter beizutreten. 1940 beschloss Monroe, seine eigene Band zu formieren. Fast schlagartig erhielt er einen Vertrag von RCA Victor. Titel wie Racing With the Moon, There! I've Said It Again und Riders In the Sky (später auch von Frankie Laine publiziert) begründeten seine steile Karriere. Viele seiner Titel landeten auf den American Top Ten. Während dieser Zeit spielte er auch in zwei Filmen mit: Meet the People mit Lucille Ball und Dick Powell (1944), sowie Carnegie Hall (1947). Nachdem er aus finanziellen Gründen seine Band aufgeben musste,ließ in den 50ern seine größte Popularität nach. Er startete eine Solo-Karriere als Sänger, trat in TV-Shows für RCA Victor auf und spielte in mehreren zweitklassigen Western den singenden Cowboy. Die Hitliste seiner Titel (darunter 4 goldene Schallplatten) zeigt, dass Monroe mit seiner kräftigen, ausgebildeten Stimme den Zeitgeist traf und sich positiv von vielen anderen Pop- und Countrysängern abhob. Monroe verstarb an einer Überdosis Morphium.
