Was it Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, or Perry Como?

Although he couldn't deny he enjoyed music and had musical talent, Perry Como's goal was to be the best barber he could be. When he was just 10, Perry Como began pitching in to support the family with an after-school job at a barber shop; and, by 13, he had his own chair. Even when his singing career was hot, Como was known to still throw down a cut or two.

Francis Albert Sinatra went by Frank, not Francis. But he collected several other nicknames throughout his life, including The Voice, The Sultan of Swoon, Ol' Blue Eyes, and the Chairman of the Board.

The 1960 Las Vegas heist story stars Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean, as well as Angie Dickinson, Cesar Romero and other members of the Rat Pack -- Peter Lawford, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Joey Bishop. The group of WWII veterans plan to knock over five Las Vegas casinos -- the Sahara, the Riviera, Wilbur Clark's Desert Inn, the Sands and the Flamingo -- on New Year's Eve.

Perry's just a nickname -- the singer's parents, Lucia (Travaglini) and Pietro Como, named him Pierino Ronald Como.

Up against Eddie Albert in "Roman Holiday," Brandon de Wilde in "Shane," Jack Palance in "Shane," and Robert Strauss in "Stalag 17," Frank Sinatra prevailed. In 1953, he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in "From Here to Eternity" for his performance as Private Angelo Maggio.

The FBI kept a file on Ol' Blue Eyes, from 1943 through 1985, and released the 1,300 pages within in December 1998. What was in there? Everything from Frank Sinatra's arrest (which was for "seduction") to why and how he avoided military service to alleged links with organized crime and rumored involvement with the Communist Party.

Perry Como retired from his TV show in 1963, but not before singing "Catch a Falling Star," which featured the Ray Charles Singers on the refrain. The recording became the Recording Industry Association of America's first ever Gold Disc Award.

It's Bing Crosby whose real name is Harry -- Harry Lillis Crosby Jr., to be complete. "Bing" was a nickname he took from a favorite comic strip.

He sold millions of records. His career spanned decades. But we'll always remember Perry Como for his voice -- and for his cardigan sweaters.

Frank Sinatra Jr. is the son of Frank Sinatra and his first wife, Nancy Barbato Sinatra. In December 1963, when he was 19, he was kidnapped at gunpoint from his hotel room at Harrah’s Club Lodge in Lake Tahoe and taken to Canoga Park in Southern California -- the kidnappers demanded $240,000 in ransom. Frank Sr. worked with the FBI, who tracked the ransom money and caught all three men behind the plot.

It's rare to have multiple stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but all three men do. Bing Crosby's stars are in the motion picture, radio and audio recording categories. Perry Como's stars are for his work in radio, television and music. And Frank, his are for his work in music, film and television.

In the 1950s, Life magazine commissioned the National Field Service to find out what young women wanted as their "ideal" husband. The multi-city poll of 20-year-olds revealed it was Perry Como.

During WWII, Bing Cosby's German fans nicknamed him, "der Bingle" -- which eventually caught on with his American fans, who also began using it. It's even referenced in the lyrics of The Andrews Sisters song, "Rum and Coca-Cola, as, "when they hear der Bingle croon."
