Rosemary Clooney Facts
Buried at St. Patrick's Cemetery near her mother and grandmother in Maysville, Ky.

Rosemary hated the derivative Armenian folk song "Come On-a My House" and originally resisted recording the song she considered "dumb" with lyrics that "sounded more like a drunken chant than an historic folk art form." Within weeks of her finally relenting, she found herself with one of the biggest-selling hits in the country, selling more than a million copies. It still did not endear her to the song, however, and she usually tried to squirm out of singing it at her concerts and nightclub appearances when requested.

Older sister of actor and AMC host Nick Clooney and Betty Clooney.
