- For the U.S. politician of the same name, see John G. Gary.
John Gary (1922-1998) was a popular vocalist.
Gary was considered by many as one of the best crooners. Gary's voice spanned an exceptionally wide range of three octaves. He was a stylish singer, who recorded 23 albums for Victor. His singing ranged from a robust baritone to a high sweet tenor often in the same song. Some of the most popular songs of their time - suited to his intimate style - were among his recordings.
Gary sang in movies, on Broadway, had his own show on television, at Carnegie Hall, with numerous symphonies and appeared 30 times as a guest in the The Tonight Show with Jack Parr, Steve Allen and Johnny Carson. He traveled across the US and Canada with about 40 concerts of the John Gary Show. For six years he gave Community concerts in over 400 cities and towns.
Although handsome and personable, he never became household name. Possibly because his wide range was difficult for fans to sing along to; also his career peaked at the same time as the Beatles, whose unique popularity displaced the works of many artists of the time.
