<h2 id="biography">Biography</h2> <p><a href="/facts/Italian-American/xrp3KgVX">Italian-American</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> Corey was born in <a href="/facts/Avonmore%2c_Pennsylvania/S9HFSzKj">Avonmore, Pennsylvania</a>, a coal mining community about forty miles east of <a href="/facts/Pittsburgh%2c_Pennsylvania/42yPHyS0">Pittsburgh</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> Her father, Bernard Speranza, was a coal miner,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> and she was the youngest of five children. Her mother died when she was four years old.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p><p>She was a 1953 graduate of Bell-Avon High School.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> Corey began singing as an imitator of <a href="/facts/Carmen_Miranda/6xUCe7n3">Carmen Miranda</a> at family gatherings, on amateur shows in grade school, and <a href="/facts/Contralto/PmhLXIze">contralto</a> in the local church choir.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> At the age of 13, she began to develop her own style. She won first prize at a talent contest sponsored by the <a href="/facts/Lions_Club/fGBMm4Ml">Lions Club</a>, which entitled her to sing a song on WAVL in <a href="/facts/Apollo%2c_Pennsylvania/WQpddVd0">Apollo, Pennsylvania</a>. This got her an offer to have her own program. By the age of 14 she was working seven nights a week, earning $5-$6 a night,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> with a local orchestra led by Johnny Murphy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> By the age of 17 she was a local celebrity talent.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> </p> <p>At the home of the only owner of a tape recorder in town, with trains going by in the background and no accompaniment, she made a tape recording to demonstrate her singing skills to the outside show business world.
