He was the most successful pop singles artist of the first half of the 1950s,〔Joel Whitburn's Top 40 Pop Singles 12th Edition〕 selling millions of records and hosting his own TV show. Fisher left his first wife, actress Debbie Reynolds, to marry Reynolds' best friend, actress Elizabeth Taylor, when Taylor's husband, film producer Mike Todd, died. This event garnered scandalous and unwelcome publicity for Fisher. He later married Connie Stevens. Fisher is the father of actresses Carrie Fisher (with Reynolds), Joely Fisher (with Stevens), Tricia Leigh Fisher (with Stevens) and actor Todd Fisher (with Reynolds). ==Early life== Fisher, the fourth of seven children, was born in Philadelphia, a son of Russian-born Jewish immigrants Gitte (later Katherine "Katie"; née Winokur) and Joseph Tisch.〔(Genealogy.com – Ancestry of Carrie Fisher )〕〔('Jewish Sinatra' tells all )〕 His father's surname was originally Tisch, but was changed by the time of the 1940 census. To his family, Fisher was always called "Sonny Boy", a nickname derived from the song of the same name in Al Jolson's film ''The Singing Fool'' (1928).〔''Been There, Done That'', p. 2.〕 Fisher attended Thomas Junior High School,〔''Been There, Done That'', p. 11.〕 South Philadelphia High School, and Simon Gratz High School. It was known at an early age that he had talent as a vocalist and he started singing in numerous amateur contests, which he usually won. He made his radio debut on WFIL,〔 a local Philadelphia radio station. He also performed on ''Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts'', a popular radio show that later moved to television. Because he became a local star, Fisher dropped out of high school in the middle of his senior year to pursue his career.〔''Been There, Done That'', p. 14.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eddie Fisher (singer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
