Throwback Thursday Musical Showcase: Jan Peerce Sings "Because" on the Ed Sullivan Show

Today we're turning the calendar way way back 72 years to 1952 when Jan Peerce appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show to sing Because, a song that was a regular part of most weddings.

Peerce, who was born Yehoshua Pinkhes Perelmuth in New York, was an accomplished performer on the operatic and Broadway concert stages, in solo recitals, and as a recording artist. Peerce became the brother-in-law of fellow American tenor Richard Tucker when Sara Perelmuth, Peerce’s only sister, married Tucker, who was then a part-time cantor, in 1936.
