Dick ContinoDick Contino (born 1930) is a American singer and accordionist. Contino began performing in various Los Angeles talent shows, and, beginning in 1946 received some mainstream attention that later became—for a brief period—stardom. His success was interrupted when Contino was drafted during the Korean War. Contino ignored the draft notice, and was jailed for a few months before serving in the United States armed forces. The resultant scandal gave Contino's career a serious blow, but he has continued performing, including acting in a few movies in the 1950s and 1960s. James Ellroy wrote a novella, Dick Contino's Blues, based on Contino's wartime experiences. External links Contino, Dick Contino, Dick
