Buddy Greco
stars in his own show tonight on BBC-1 at 10.50
It is a rather dubious honour to become known as a 'musician's musician.' On the one hand you can enjoy the respect of your professional colleagues, but at the same time you tend to remain relatively unknown to the ordinary cash customers - and professional esteem does not pay many bills... It was the fate of Buddy Greco, who stars in his own show tonight, to spend fifteen years in this limbo.
As a schoolboy in Philadelphia he formed his own vocal-instrumental group, and by the time he was eighteen he had made his first record, a song called' Ooh, Looka There, Ain't She Pretty.' It sold a million, but did not rocket him to fame. Nevertheless, he was picked out by Benny Goodman, who hired him as a singer-pianist-arranger, and he stayed with Goodman until the latter's semi-retirement in 1951. He then appeared in an early television spectacular series and worked the smaller night clubs with his own group. His personal following by now included such fellow-artists as Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, but real popular success still eluded him.
So in 1960 he made his big decision to try a new act. He abandoned his static songs-at-the-piano routine in favour of a 'stand-up' technique roving among his audience with a microphone. This worked the trick at once, and Buddy Greco was at last everyman's musician - the artist you can see in action tonight, singing numbers which range from his big hit 'Around the World' to the evergreen 'The Lady is a Tramp.'
