Hello,
Thanks for creating this page. Maurice Rocco really needed to be on Wikipedia.
I was wondering where I could find more of his music on the internet. I have seen some videos with him on youtube, but it's not enough! Can someone please tell me where I can watch the films he appeared in, and where I can listen to more of his music?
I am not very familiar with editing on Wikipedia, but I hope it's alright that I have written a message here.

The date of birth has been difficult to figure, because of various discrepancies in sources. His obituary listed him as 56 years old, which could make his birth date as late as 1920. However, older sources give his birth date as early as possibly 1914. I have selected a 1915 birth date as three sources are in agreement on this point, and I am surmising that the obituary gave the later birth date because of his claimed age, possibly as given to the hotel where he worked and stayed. I have found it common for obituary birth dates to be incorrect as artists, then as now, wished to be perceived as younger than actual fact. 78.26 ( I'm no IP, talk to me!) 18:52, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
