The Sound of Rouvaun (SIGNED VINYL LP)

Descripción

Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "Stereo Dynagroove" vinyl record, RCA Victor "white dog on top" label LSP-3866, very-good-plus vinyl in a very-good-plus cardboard jacket which is starting to show some ringwear, inscribed and signed "Rouvaun" in black felt tip to recto of the jacket. The Utah vocalist offers songs from stage and screen including "Somewhere, My Love," "The Impossible Dream," "This Is My Song (from Charlie Chaplin's "A Countess from Hong Kong)", not to mention a couple of selections from "Pagliacci" and "Tosca." Rouvaun (1932-1975) was born Jim Haun in Bingham, Utah. A child singer with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, he went on to study voice at the Los Angeles Conservatory and perform with the Beverly Hills Opera Company. Nonetheless, he remained a virtual unknown when he opened in Las Vegas as the headliner of the 100-person Frederick Apcar French stage review "Casino De Paris" at the Dunes Hotel Feb. 5, 1967. (Jacket notes here by Lee Fisher, Public Relations & Advertising Director, Dunes Hotel and Country Club.) A recording contract followed, and he continued to play Vegas frequently in the early '70s; that's where this record turned up. In 1975, Rouvaun collapsed and died at age 43 due to a massive internal hemorrhage from a ruptured esophagus. He was the father of Air Supply's left-handed guitarist Jimmy Haun. This autographed disc now reduced from $19.
