* Harry James -Harry Haag James (Albany, 15 de marzo de 1916 – 5 de julio de 1983) fue un director de big band y trompetista estadounidense.
Hijo de un director de orquesta de un circo itinerante, a la edad de 10 anos recibió lecciones de trompeta de su padre, que le sometió a una dura disciplina musical, utilizando para ello el método Arban.
En 1931 la familia se trasladó a Beaumont (estado de Tejas) y James empezó a tocar con orquestas locales de baile. Se unió al popular Ben Pollack en 1935 y a comienzos de 1937 se unió a la orquesta de Benny Goodman.
En febrero de 1939 Harry James debutó con su propia big band en Filadelfia, con la que seguría trabajando hasta los anos ochenta. La suya fue la primera orquesta en la que trabajó empleado de forma continuada Frank Sinatra (en 1939).
En 1943 se casó con la actriz Betty Grable.
Se le puede oír tocar la trompeta en la película de 1950 Young Man with a Horn, doblando a Kirk Douglas. Su grabación de "I'm Beginning to See the Light" aparece en la banda sonora de My Dog Skip (2000). Su música suena también en la película de Woody Allen Hannah y sus hermanas. James grabó numerosos temas populares y apareció en muchas películas de Hollywood.
En 1983 a James, fumador empedernido durante muchos anos, se le diagnosticó un cáncer linfático, aunque continuó trabajando, tocando por última vez el 26 de junio de 1983 en Los Ángeles, solo nueve días antes de su muerte en Las Vegas.
* Dick Williams (born 1926) was an American singer. He was the older brother of Andy Williams and had started out like Andy in The Williams Brothers Quartet.
* Jim Reeves -James Travis Reeves (20 de agosto de 1923 - 31 de julio de 1964). Considerado figura emblemática de la música popular norteamericana, debido al novedoso Sonido Nashville que popularizó, fue un cantante y compositor que ganó popularidad en los anos 1950 y 60 debido a la calidad de sus interpretaciones y la originalidad de sus números.
Su fama se expandió posteriormente por una buena parte del mundo recibiendo el calificativo de "El caballero Jim". A pesar de haber fallecido infortunadamente a la edad de 40 anos en un accidente aéreo, su música sigue siendo recordada y forma parte del Salón de la Fama de la Música Country y de la Música Country Texana.
* Jimmy Wakely (16 de febrero de 1914 - 23 de septiembre de 1982)1 fue un actor y cantante de country estadounidense.
Su verdadero nombre era James Clarence Wakely, y nació en Mineola, Arkansas. Sus padres eran Anderson Wakeley y Caroline (o Carolin) "Cali" Wakeley. De adolescente cambió su nombre de James a Jimmy y su apellido lo modificó a Wakely, eliminando la segunda "e".
* Phil Ochs -Philip David "Phil" Ochs (December 19, 1940 – April 9, 1976) was an American protest singer (or, as he preferred, a topical singer) and songwriter who was known for his sharp wit, sardonic humor, earnest humanism, political activism, insightful and alliterative lyrics, and distinctive voice. He wrote hundreds of songs in the 1960s and 1970s and released eight albums.
Ochs performed at many political events during the 1960s counterculture era, including anti-Vietnam War and civil rights rallies, student events, and organized labor events over the course of his career, in addition to many concert appearances at such venues as New York City's Town Hall and Carnegie Hall. Politically, Ochs described himself as a "left social democrat"[citation needed] who became an "early revolutionary" after the protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago led to a police riot, which had a profound effect on his state of mind.
After years of prolific writing in the 1960s, Ochs's mental stability declined in the 1970s. He eventually succumbed to a number of problems including bipolar disorder and alcoholism, and took his own life in 1976.
Some of Ochs's major musical influences were Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Bob Gibson, Faron Young, and Merle Haggard. His best-known songs include "I Ain't Marching Anymore", "Changes", "Crucifixion", "Draft Dodger Rag", "Love Me, I'm a Liberal", "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends", "Power and the Glory", "There but for Fortune", and "The War Is Over".

"Mona Lisa" is a popular song written by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston for the Paramount Pictures film Captain Carey, U.S.A. (1950). The title and lyrics refer to the renaissance portrait Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci. The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1950.
Nat King Cole version -Musical arrangement was handled by Nelson Riddle and the orchestral backing was played by Les Baxter and his Orchestra.The recording was originally the B-side of "The Greatest Inventor Of Them All.In an American Songwriter magazine interview, Jay Livingston recalled that the original advertisements for the record did not even mention "Mona Lisa;" only upon returning home from a publicity junket of numerous radio programs did the song become a hit.
The soundtrack version by Nat King Cole spent eight weeks at number one in the Billboard singles chart in 1950. Cole's version of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1992.Cole described this song as one of his favorites among his recordings.
Cover versions - The Billboard sales charts of 1950 also showed significant sales on versions by Dennis Day and Harry James. Hit versions for Moon Mullican #4 (Country) and Jimmy Wakely #10 (Country) were also featured in 1950.
Various artists, including Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley 1959 (home recording), Willie Nelson 1981, Art Lund, Shakin' Stevens 1981, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, the Neville Brothers 1981, and Nat King Cole's daughter Natalie Cole 1992, have released cover versions of this song. Bruddah Iz (Israel Kamakawiwo'ole) also covered the song on the album Alone in IZ World. Harry Connick, Jr. included the song on his 2009 album, Your Songs. (Andy Williams recorded it in 1964)
A rockabilly version of "Mona Lisa" (b/w/ "Foolish One") was released by Carl Mann on Phillips International Records (#3539) in March 1959 and reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Conway Twitty recorded a version of "Mona Lisa" in February 1959, but planned to release it only as an album cut (on an EP and an LP, Conway Twitty Sings by MGM Records). Nevertheless, it peaked at number 5 in the UK Singles Chart in that year[1] and in the top 30 in the United States. Sam Phillips signed Carl Mann to record his version of the song after the Twitty version began getting radio play in early 1959.[6] This was the most successful single in Mann's career. The melody is slightly different, and the lyrics are also mostly the same as in the original version by Nat King Cole, though a few more phrases are added in that elaborate more on the girl he likes. Brian Setzer covered the Mann version in his 2005 Rockabilly Riot Vol. 1: A Tribute to Sun Records.
The singer Don Cherry recorded a version backed by the Victor Young Orchestra which reached number seven in 1952. Andy Williams released a version on his 1964 album, The Academy Award-Winning "Call Me Irresponsible" and Other Hit Songs from the Movies. In 1994, Alexia Vassiliou covered the song in the live album from Sony BMG Horis Revma.
Little Willie Littlefield recorded a version for his 1990 album Singalong with Little Willie Littlefield.
Phil Ochs, known for his protest songs in the 1960s, performed the song in 1970 at his infamous Carnegie Hall concert. The cover appears on the 1974 concert album Gunfight at Carnegie Hall.
In the early 1950s, German bandleader Kurt Henckels recorded a big band version in the pre-WWII style on the East German Amiga label.
Legacy

Partygoers sing Mona Lisa in the background of one scene in Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954). In 1986, the song was used as the theme to the British film Mona Lisa. The song was used in the wedding scene of the NBC mini-series, Witness to the Mob, in 1998. The song was also used in the film by Andrew Bergman, The Freshman, in which Marlon Brando spoofs his performance in The Godfather.

* Phil Ochs -Philip David "Phil" Ochs (December 19, 1940 – April 9, 1976) was an American protest singer (or, as he preferred, a topical singer) and songwriter who was known for his sharp wit, sardonic humor, earnest humanism, political activism, insightful and alliterative lyrics, and distinctive voice.

After years of prolific writing in the 1960s, Ochs's mental stability declined in the 1970s. He eventually succumbed to a number of problems including bipolar disorder and alcoholism, and took his own life in 1976.
Some of Ochs's major musical influences were Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Bob Gibson, Faron Young, and Merle Haggard. His best-known songs include "I Ain't Marching Anymore", "Changes", "Crucifixion", "Draft Dodger Rag", "Love Me, I'm a Liberal", "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends", "Power and the Glory", "There but for Fortune", and "The War Is Over".
