Toni Arden

Toni Arden (ur. 15 lutego 1924 r., Nowy Jork jako Antoinette Ardizzone -zm.  29 maja 2012r, Lake Worth, Floryda ) była amerykańską piosenkarką tradycyjnej muzyki pop .Ojciec Arden, Phillip Ardizzone, był śpiewakiem z Metropolitan Opera i La Scali . Jej brat, Jan Arden, był także piosenkarzem. W późnych latach pięćdziesiątych rodzeństwo zaczęło grać w klubach nocnych.
Arden stała się wokalistką wielkiego zespołu w latach czterdziestych, śpiewając z Alem Trace , Joe Reichmanem, Rayem Blochem i Shep Fields .
Zaczęła nagrywać jako solistka w 1946 roku dla niewielkiej firmy National Records . Po tym jak pojawiła się w telewizyjnym serialu " Doorway to Fame" , Arden podpisała swój pierwszy kontrakt na nagrania solowe z wytwórnią Columbia Records w 1949 roku. W Columbia miała kilka przebojów, w tym " I Can Dream, Can not I? " (która osiągnęła # 7 na liście Billboardu ), " Too Young " (która osiągnęła # 15), " Kiss of Fire " (która osiągnęła # 14) i "I'm Yours" (który osiągnął # 24).
W połowie lat pięćdziesiątych przeniosła się do wytwórni Decca Records , gdzie jej największym rekordem sprzedaży (jej jedyny milionowy singiel)   był utwór "Padre" w 1958 roku. Albumy  z jej piosenkami to "Miss Toni Arden", "Besame!", "Sing a Song of Italy " i "Italian Gold". Śpiewała w języku włoskim i angielskim. Pierwsze dwa albumy zostały skompilowane na drugiej płycie wytwórni Sepia Records.  Nagrywała także krótko dla RCA Victor i Mercury Records . Jej ostatni album My World is You (GPRT Records) zawiera kompozycje Gladys Shelley .
