Bandleader and songwriter. Younger brother of James C. Petrillo (1892-1984), prominent leader of the American Federation of Musicians, who's most famous actions were banning all commercial recordings by union members from 1942–1944 and again in 1948 to pressure record companies to give better royalty deals to musicians; these were called the Petrillo Bans.
