Poetic Obituaries: [Arthur Vallee] became a car salesman,

personally delivering cars to stars like [Perry] Como and Hugh O'Brian. His first sale to Como was for three cars in the same day, two of them Cadillacs. When Como traded in his cars, some Gloucester County buyers wound up driving vehicles showing the P.R.C. logo initials. Como was also a frequent visitor to the Vallee home and Woodbury Country Club when Vallee & Bowe hosted its golf tournament for customers.

Vallee wrote volumes of poetry and more than 100 songs. Several songs were recorded including "I Can't Get You Out of My Mind" and "Moonlight Canyon."

from The Gloucester County Times: Arthur Vallee, 93, lived Hollywood life in Woodbury
