Guess it's not him then.

I don't know my big band leaders that well. I can't imagine Betty Grable getting married to a black man. It would have been scandalous in those days. So that rules out a few right there.

mrnoodle may not be back for a while, so I'm going to jump in with one to keep the thread going.

Question: What 2-hit wonder from the 60's saw a brief comeback in early 1977 with a hit that spent a few months on the charts and even reached number one? This hit was a new version of a then relatively unknown Bruce Springsteen song.
