Biography

Initially trained in violin and guitar, Marcellino began his musical career as a teenager with the Lofner-Harris band at the Hotel St. Francis in San Francisco. In 1932, when Ted Fio Rito became the hotel's resident bandleader, Marcellino joined him, eventually serving as both guitarist and lead male vocalist. Over six years with the band, he appeared in several films, including The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi (1933). In 1938, Marcellino formed his own dance orchestra, primarily performing on the West Coast with extended engagements at the Hollywood Florentine Gardens. His principal female vocalist was future actress Gloria DeHaven.

By the late 1940s, he downsized his band and toured Reno and Las Vegas before becoming musical director for Art Linkletter's House Party variety show in 1952, a role he held until the program ended in 1969. Marcellino was also renowned for his exceptional whistling talent, which, though rarely featured in his big band novelty numbers, found success in TV commercials, Disney's Mickey Mouse Club compositions, and films. Besides the theme from The High and the Mighty (1954), he is most famous for his whistling on Ennio Morricone's iconic western theme for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).
