This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

((Short description|American vocal arranger and conductor))
((more citations needed|date=December 2015))
'''Justin "Judd" Conlon''' (born '''Justin Norbert Conlon'''; June 16, 1910 – July 28, 1966) was an American vocal arranger and conductor.<ref name=obit>((cite journal|title=Variety|journal=Variety|date=August 3, 1966))</ref>

==Early life==
Conlon was born in 1910 in [[Cuba City, Wisconsin]]. He relocated to [[Dubuque, Iowa]], where he attended Columbia Academy and [[Loras College|Columbia College]]. Conlon played the accordion and was active in musical groups including the Vested Choir directed by Father Alphonse Dress. This may have led to his mastery of vocal arranging. He played accordion at the Hilltop Casino until 4:00&nbsp;a.m., slept, and then had to get up for his college classes. In high school he formed the Justin Conlon Orchestra. By the time he was in college, the group toured the Midwest and was often featured on Iowa radio stations WMT in Cedar Rapids, WHO in Des Moines, and WOC in Davenport.

Conlon's first major arranging work was with the [[Kay Kyser]] Orchestra.<ref>((cite web|title=Encyclopedia Dubuque|url=http://www.encyclopediadubuque.org/index.php?title=CONLON%2C_Jud|website=Encyclopedia Dubuque|accessdate=December 1, 2015))</ref>

== Career ==
In 1945, the Kay Kyser band was at its peak. One of its main attractions was The Campus Kids, which Conlon had joined as a vocalist that July. His debut recordings with the group were "Choo Choo Polka" and "That’s for Me". At that time, the other Kids were Diane Pendleton, Donna Wood, [[Loulie Jean Norman]], and [[Charlie Parlato]].<ref name="auto">((cite journal|last1=McQuade|first1=Martin|title=Zing a Little Zong|journal=BING Magazine|date=Winter 2007|pages=36–42))</ref>

Conlon, trained on the accordion and as a vocal arranger and conductor, had an ambition to form his own vocal group. In The Campus Kids, he was exposed to two singers with a four-octave range and perfect pitch:  Loulie Jean Norman and [[Gloria Wood]]. With them and his own [[Basso profondo|basso profundo]], plus Charlie Parlato as first tenor, Conlon had the makings of the new group he wanted. He assigned himself the baritone part, Norman was first or lead soprano, and Wood second soprano. He also recruited Mack McLean from the [[Six Hits and a Miss]] singing group as a second tenor.<ref name="auto"/>

==The Rhythmaires==
The formation of Conlon's group was likely hastened by the sudden departure of [[The Charioteers]] as [[Bing Crosby]]'s vocalists on his weekly radio program toward the end of the first [[Philco Radio Time|Philco]] season in March, 1947. Several of the first season's final shows featured an unknown chorus that may have been the singers in the still unnamed group. Jud Conlon's Rhythmaires was christened and ready to go as recordings for the second Philco season commenced in August 1947. Conlon, Parlato, McLean and Norman bade farewell to The Campus Kids in December. (Gloria Wood remained with Kyser into 1948.)<ref name="auto"/>

The Rhythmaires had launched an association with Crosby that would continue for almost a decade in more than 230 broadcasts and over 40 recordings. The group even helped to sell [[Minute Maid]]. The Rhythmaires' first commercial recording with Crosby took place on December 3, 1947, when "[[Ballerina (Sidney Keith Russell and Carl Sigman song)|Ballerina]]" was laid down. Other notable recordings were "Home Cookin", "[[Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo]]", "[[Teddy Bears' Picnic]]", "[[It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas|It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas]]", "[[Zing a Little Zong]]", and "Road to Bali".<ref name="auto"/>

Sometimes the Rhythmaires would be expanded into either The Jud Conlon Singers (e.g. "Stay Well", "Sorry") or The Jud Conlon Choir (e.g. "The Loneliness of Evening", "[[More I Cannot Wish You]]", "We Meet Again"). The Rhythmaires' final recordings with Crosby were made in April 1956, for the [[MCA Records|Decca]] LP ''[[Songs I Wish I Had Sung the First Time Around|Songs I Wish I Had Sung]]''.<ref name="auto"/>
The Rhythmaires also furnished background vocals for Crosby in [[Walt Disney]]’s ''[[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad|The Legend of Sleepy Hollow]]'' (from ''[[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad]]''), released in 1949.<ref name="auto"/>

After the conclusion of Philco Radio Time in 1949, the Rhythmaires continued with Crosby throughout his weekly [[The Bing Crosby – Chesterfield Show|Chesterfield]] radio series that ran until 1952. Each week the group sang the cigarette’s "Sound Off" jingle.<ref name="auto"/>

In early 1958, the Rhythmaires appeared on the album "Jazz Goes Latin" with [[tenor saxophone]] player [[Georgie Auld]] for [[Capitol Records]] (T-1045).

For the first two seasons of [[The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis]] (CBS-TV, 1959-1963) the Rhythmaires performed the opening and closing theme song, "Dobie",<ref>((cite book |last=Terrace |first=Vincent |author-link= |date=2020 |title=The Television Treasury: Onscreen Details from Sitcoms, Dramas and Other Scripted Series, 1947-2019 |url= |location=Jefferson NC |publisher=McFarland & Co., Inc. |page=227 |isbn=978-1-4766-8029-3))</ref> written by [[Lionel Newman]] and [[Max Shulman]].

==Other work==
Crosby had used Conlon to make arrangements and vocal backgrounds for his radio series, and Conlon went on to work for [[Andy Williams]] and [[Guy Lombardo]]. In the mid-1950s, he began collaborating with satirist [[Stan Freberg]]. His arrangements appeared on nearly all Freberg's comedy records, as well as on his ''Stan Freberg Radio Show''. He also worked on the television program ''[[Frankie Laine Time]]''.

Conlon served as a musical arranger for Walt Disney. Among his credits are the Disney movies ''[[Alice in Wonderland (1951 film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' (1951), ''[[Peter Pan (1953 film)|Peter Pan]]'' (1953), and ''[[Babes in Toyland (1961 film)|Babes in Toyland]]'' (1961).

==Personal life==
Conlon married Charlotte Manley. They had one son, Michael. Conlon died on July 28, 1966, in [[Chicago]] at the age of 56. He was found dead in his Chicago hotel room of an apparent heart attack. He had been there as a delegate to the convention of American Federation of TV and Radio Artists. A requiem Mass was held a few days later at [[Saint Victor Catholic Church (West Hollywood, California)|St. Victor's Roman Catholic Church]] in West Hollywood.<ref name=obit/>
