Ted FioRito: F-i-o-capital R-i-t-o. He wrote I Never Knew. He was a society bandleader, but a good one. When he came to Davenport, Iowa, all the kids said, "Let Lou play. " So I sat in and played. He offered me a job right there. I still had three months of high school to do. I told Ted FioRito - I said, "I've got three months of high school. Let me do that first, and if you're still interested . . . " Ted FioRito said, "You call me, because I'm going off to California. " He kept his word. He said, "By the way, do you know any good girl singers around? " Because Betty Grable sang with him, years ago. Did you know that? I said, "Yeah. I know two girls here. One is a great singer, but she's not dependable. You can't count on her being on time. The other one is not as good as her, but she's a bombshell. Her name is June Haver. She was a cheerleader. " June Haver joined Ted FioRito before I did. She later became June Haver. Does that name strike a bell? She married Fred MacMurray. She became a big movie star.
