    Toni Arden
    (February 15, 1924, New York City as Antoinette Ardizzone – May 29, 2012, Lake Worth, Florida) was an American traditional pop music singer. Arden became a big band singer in the 1940s, singing with Al Trace, Joe Reichman, Ray Bloch and Shep Fields.
    After her appearance on the early television talent series Doorway to Fame, Arden signed her first solo recording contract with a major record label, Columbia Records. At Columbia, she had several hits including "I Can Dream, Can't I?" (which reached #7 on the Billboard charts), "Too Young" (which reached #15), "Kiss of Fire" (which reached #14) and "I'm Yours" (which reached #24).
    CD compilations of these earlier recordings can be found on the Sepia Records label and a two-CD set released by Jasmine Records. In the mid-1950s she moved to Decca Records, where her biggest selling record (a million-seller) was "Padre" in 1958. LP albums included "Miss Toni Arden," "Besame!", "Sing a Song of Italy" and "Italian Gold." She sang in both Italian and English.The first two albums have been compiled on a second CD by the Sepia Records label. She also recorded briefly for RCA Victor and Mercury Records. Her last album My World is You (GPRT Records) features the compositions of Gladys Shelley.
    In 1954, Arden recorded 13 radio programs for the US Marine Corps via electrical transcription.
    The Toni Arden Show was broadcast on participating local stations. In 1956, she was featured on an episode of What's New in Music on CBS. Television Arden appeared on The Music of George Gershwin,This Is Show Business, Dick Clark's program, and The Jimmy Dean Show. She and her brother Jan sang two duets on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1959.
