Description: Up for auction the "Arthur Murray Party" David Street Hand Signed 5X7 Sepia Photo. ES-4135E David Street (December 13, 1917 – September 3, 1971) was an American actor and singer in the 1940s and 1950s. Street was born Patrick Devlin in Los Angeles, California. While in high school, he formed a trio that sang in local theaters. Street was a singer on the network programs Meet Me at Parky's and The Sealtest Village Store. In the 1940s, Street had two programs that were distributed via electrical transcription. The David Street Song Shop was produced by Louis G. Cowan, Inc., and David Street Sings was done by Sam Kerner Productions. In 1948, he had a program, sponsored by Cardinet Candy, on a 21-station NBC West Coast network. Street played several instruments and worked with the orchestras of Hal Grayson, Al Lyons and Irving Aaronson in addition to having his own group. He also sang with Bob Crosby and Freddie Slack. In 1942, Street signed a contract with Universal Studios. He moved to 20th Century Fox late in 1945. Despite Street's having some roles in films, such as An Angel Comes to Brooklyn (1945), Laura Wagner wrote in Films of the Golden Age (Summer 2015), "[M]ovie success eluded him: He was good looking and had a very nice singing voice, but no real personality on camera In the 1940s, Street recorded for RCA Victor, and he "was considered a popular, up-and-coming crooner. Street was featured in television programming produced by Philco in 1947, using what apparently was an early version of lip synching. An article in Variety magazine's September 10, 1947, issue reported that Street and The Modernaires guest starred on the Philco program, "simulating singing to off-screen recordings." Street had his own programs on stations in New York and Cincinnati and twice on KLAC in Los Angeles. He was also seen on Melody, Inc., Make Me Sing It, Manhattan Penthouse, The Arthur Murray Party and Broadway Open House
