Lanny Ross (1906 - 1988) was an American singer, pianist and songwriter.
His career began in radio in 1928 and included a five-year run with Annette Hanshaw on the Maxwell House Show Boat program. His recording career began in 1929. He did so well on the radio that he gave up the legal profession and set forth on a singing career.
Ross went on to success in vaudeville, night clubs and films, serving in the U.S. Army during World War II. During the war, he was called upon to sing the Oscar-nominated ballad, "We Musn't Say Goodbye," for the 1943 motion picture, "Stage Door Canteen."
His radio programs have included Troubadour of the Moon, Maxwell House Showboat, Packard Mardi Gras, Lucky Strike Hit Parade and his own Lanny Ross Program, sponsored by Franco-American over the CBS Network.
Ross introduced the standard popular song "Stay as Sweet as You Are" and starred in two Paramount Pictures' Melody in Spring and College Rhythm and also in The Lady Objects for Columbia Pictures. In 1941 he drew critical acclaim for his acting in stock productions of Petticoat Fever, Pursuit of Happiness and Green Grow the Lilacs.
