Jerry Vale (born Gennaro Luigi Vitaliano) is an American singer. Jerry was one of the most successful popular music singers of the 1950s and 1960s. His popularity came at a time when rock and roll had severely dampened the success of other singers of that era.

After 50 years as an entertainer and more than 50 albums, Vale continues to share his romantic pop favorites with audiences at clubs throughout the United States.

Vale was born Genaro Louis Vitaliano on July 8, 1932, in the upper Bronx, New York City, New York, to Louis Vitaliano, an engineer, and Philamina "Fanny" Covino Vitaliano, both first generation Italians.

Every Sunday the Vitaliano family would have a party at Vale's grandmother's house and she would lay out a spread from "soup to nuts." At least 14 family members and a mandolin and guitar player named Tom Tumas would attend. Vale's parents, uncle, and even other families would join in and sing when Tumas played.
