Ross Bagdasarian was born on January 27, 1919.  Who was Ross Bagdasarian, you might ask?  Well, if you are old enough, you probably do know who he was.  His recording name was David Seville and he supplied the human voice to all those Alvin and the Chipmunk songs.  Fans of Alfred Hitchcock's movie 'Rear Window' can also see Ross as a person in one of the windows.  He was the guy that was working on a song and playing the piano.
