Biography

American singer, a top cabaret performer known as the "man with the golden voice." His perfect pitch is heard on 14 gold records. Along with Cyd Charisse, he co-authored an autobiography, "The Two of Us," 1976.

Raised in poverty, Martin had an adoring Jewish step-dad. From the time he was a kid he became a professional musician gaining recognition and financial independence. A cocky kid, he was at one time a heavy gambler and prior to his second marriage, a womanizer. Martin married Alice Faye, a big star at the time, on 9/04/1937; they divorced on 3/27/1941. He had a major affair with Lana Turner.

On 1/02/1942, he entered the U.S. Navy and considered it the most miserable time in his life. From August to October 1942, he had to testify at a friend's court-martial and he himself was discharged as "unfit" on 12/07/1942. Five days later he was inducted into the Army where he served for three years before being dishonorably discharged on 12/14/1945.

Martin married Cyd Charisse on 5/15/1948 and their son was born 8/28/1950; he was a strict father to Tony Jr. and to Nicky, Cyd's son born in 1942 from a former marriage. He and Cyd did TV specials and a club act together.
