, właśc. Pierino Roland Como (ur. 18 V 1912 w
Canonsburgu, USA - zm. 12 V 2001 w Jupiter), wokalista, aktor filmowy,
prezenter telewizyjny i radiowy, jedna z najważniejszych postaci
amerykańskiej muzyki popularnej w epoce przed rock and rollem, uznawany
za wybitnego croonera.
Urodził się w rodzinie emigrantów włoskich w Pensylwanii. Początkowo
pracował jako śpiewający fryzjer, później związał się big-bandem
. W połowie lat 30-tych ubiegłego wieku sukces przyniosła mu współpraca z

, którzy w 1943 podpisali z artystą kontrakt fonograficzny. Rozgłos narodowy przyniósł mu dwa lata później film
, największy przebój 1945 roku. Ciepły baryton predestynował Como do wykonywania melodyjnych ballad.
.
W połowie lat 50-tych stał się przedstawicielem nurtu popularnych piosenek, nazywanym
- później middle-of-the-road. Tytuły wielkich przebojów Como z tego okresu tworzone były jako zbitka niedorzecznych słów, np.
.
Pod koniec lat 50-tych został wyparty z czołowych miejsc na listach
przebojów przez idoli młodzieżowych rock and rolla, jednak piosenka
w 1958 osiągnęła najwyższe miejsce na liście "Billboardu".
W 1970 - po prawie dziesięciu latach mniej intensywnej pracy estradowej
- odzyskał popularność dzięki koncertowi telewizyjnemu i przebojowi
,
który znalazł się w pierwszej dziesiątce przebojów "Billboardu".
Również wtedy odbył udaną światową trasę koncertową. W latach 70. i
80-tych ograniczył się do nagrań płytowych i sporadycznego udziału w
programach telewizyjnych.
