Dick Haymes (September 13, 1918 – March 28, 1980) was one of the most popular American male vocalists of the 1940s and early 1950s.
He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His Irish-born mother, Marguerite Haymes (1894-1987), was a well-known vocal coach and instructor. He became the vocalist in a number of big bands, worked in Hollywood on radio and in many films throughout the forties and fifties.
He never became a United States citizen and avoided military service during World War II by asserting his non-belligerent status as a citizen of Argentina, which was neutral. Years later (1955), this act of his nearly caused his deportation to Argentina on an unrelated technicality in immigration law. During World War II, he was briefly detained at Ellis Island.
Haymes was married six times and had six children. His most famous marriages were to film actresses Joanne Dru (1941-1949) and Rita Hayworth (1953-1955). His daughter Stephanie Haymes was married to Sir Elton John's lyricist Bernie Taupin
He died in Los Angeles from lung cancer, at the age of 61.

Dick Haymes Sings For You
Dick Haymes Lyrics
If You Were Only Mine If you were the only girl in the world And I…
No One But You How did I know that the warmth of the glow…
Serenade Of The Bells In the sleepy town of San Juanita There's a story that…
When You're In Love I hear singing and there's no one there, I smell blossoms…
Where Or When It seems we stood and talked like this before We looked…
You Kissed Me Let me love you tonight Let me tell you how much…
