Vic Dana

Primarily known for his skills like a tap dancer, Buffalo native Vic Dana relocated to LA in the urging of Sammy Davis, Jr., where he quickly began going after a singing profession. For a while in the first ’60s, he became the touring business lead vocalist of pop group the Fleetwoods, changing Gary Troxel, who was simply fulfilling a dynamic duty stint within the U.S. Navy. Throughout that period, Dana also started releasing solo materials within the intimate adult modern pop tradition, ultimately scoring a significant strike with 1965’s “Crimson Roses for the Blue Female,” which reached the Billboard TOP. Through the entire ’60s, Dana acquired a great many other singles that charted well including “Shangri-La,” “Small Altar Boy,” and “I REALLY LIKE You Drops.” In 1970 he previously a minor strike with Neil Diamond’s melody “Red BURGANDY OR MERLOT WINE.” With the middle-’70s, Dana’s achievement had mainly faded and his last nationally charting one was 1976’s “Place Me Down (Move Me Out to Ocean),” which damaged the very best 20 over the U.S. Adult Modern chart. Furthermore to his performing and dancing profession, Dana also acted in a small number of movies including 1962’s Don’t Knock the Twist as well as the 1964 Bob Wish comedy A WORLDWIDE Affair. He ultimately retired from display business, settling straight down in Paducah, Kentucky.
