Dick Powell
Send us a textThis week, the bad piano player features old friend composers and lyricists for songs that Dick Powell, boy singer, sang in the movies early in his career. Later he was the first man ever to play Philip Marlowe onscreen, but in the 30's he was sweet-faced heart-throb tenor Dick, who charmed the ladies with music. We hope you'll tune in and be charmed as well.
