Edward Cletus Fluri, known professionally as Eddie Rambeau, was born on June 30, 1943 in the United States of America. Initially performing in a high-school musical he had written, Rambeau met songwriter and musician Bud Rehak who became his manager. In June 1961, Rambeau released his first single "Skin Divin'" under his new name Eddie Rambeau on Swan Records. The following year, he released two more singles, "My Four Leaf Clover Love" and "Summertime Guy". The latter song faced a setback when it was pulled from all ABC affiliates due to a potential conflict of interest. In December 1962, "The Push and Kick", co-written by Rambeau, became a Top 40 hit for Mark Valentino. In 1964, Rambeau relocated to New York City to work with Bob Crewe's organization as a staff songwriter and singer. He co-wrote "Navy Blue" which became Diane Renay's first and biggest hit record early that year. That same year, he recorded "Concrete and Clay", which topped the Number 1 United States Top 40 charts. In the late 1960s, Rambeau released several more singles for DynoVoice Records including "Good Morning, Starshine", released under the name Eddie Hazelton. By the early 1970s, he transitioned to acting, appearing in notable productions such as Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Heathen!. In the 1980s and 1990s, Rambeau expanded his repertoire to include easy-listening genres and Broadway show tunes.
