Dick Mango (né Richard J. Mango, 15 July 1912, Pennsylvania — 8 June 1975, Olmsted County, Minnesota^[1]^[2]) was an American bandleader, tenor saxophonist, vocalist, composer, and arranger originally from Detroit. He led a well-known territory band — The Dick Mango Orchestra, booked by the Music Management Service of Omaha in the 1950s. In the mid-1940s, he served in the US Army as a saxophonist and arranger.^[3]

Early years

Mango began his professional career at age 16. His family had moved to Detroit from Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, where he received his early musical training from his parents, both of whom were music teachers. Before moving, he had attended Vandergrift High School in 1927-28 as a Freshman.^[4] His first full-time job was with a traveling dance band, I. Fiscus and the Kiski Valley Blue Ribbon Boys, a popular east coast attraction. He later played with Phil Brestoff, conductor of the Michigan Theater house band, and also had played with Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Johnny Long, and Ted Lewis. He appeared in two films with the Lewis band: Three Cheers for the Boys and Is Everybody Happy?. During his tenure in the military, he organized dance bands and entertained the GIs. Upon his return from the service, he started his own band.^[5]
