Several weeks ago I saw a lengthy obituary for Johnny Martinez on dignitymemorial.com but the link now says the obit is no longer available. This is the only part I can find in my notes: (John Anastacio Martinez, January 6, 1915 - June 18, 2010) In 1953, Johnny and his wife, Gloria, opened the Paladium Nite Club on South Main and booked many local big bands, Latin/Tropical and Western Swing bands. Famous entertainers were booked to play the Paladium such as trumpeter Harry James, drummer Buddy Rich, Perez Prado from Cuba as well as those from Mexico like Luis Alcaraz and singer Maria Victoria. Johnny and Gloria occasionally hired a young, unknown singer- truck driver on Saturday nights named Elvis Presley to perform, as well as local young crooner, Tommy Sands. Perhaps someone else here has all of it. Below is the Martinez death notice that was published in the Houston Chronicle on June 21, 2010: JOHN ANASTACIO "JOHNNY" MARTINEZ, 95, loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, great and great- great grandfather, slipped peacefully into eternity June 18th.Johnny is survived by his loving wife of 74 years, Gloria Sepolio and four daughters: Gloria Alice Corvin (Tom), Mary Louise Perry (Tom), Carol Casas (Jesse) and Jeanette Azzarello (Jim).
