By 1928, as a member of Gus Arnheim’s Orchestra, he began to appear in motion pictures, both features and Vitaphone shorts. At the time of his death, he had just completed his fifth feature film and first leading role, Wake Up and Dream. Columbo disliked the term “Crooner” but was invariably categorized as such. Knowledge of crooning begins and ends for most people with Bing Crosby, but Columbo preceded his rival in that category and, in the course of “The Battle of the Baritones,” influenced Crosby. In 1931, he enjoyed great success on network radio, nicknamed the “Vocal Valentino” and “Romeo of Radio,” which led to a Victor recording contract. His thirty sides for the label included his signature tune \"You Call It Madness, But I Call It Love\", and his compositions \"Prisoner of Love\" and \"Too Beautiful For Words\". On Sunday, September 2, 1934, he died in a freak accident, caused when a dueling pistol owned by a friend discharged. He was struck above the left eye and died six hours later. The death was ruled accidental. Afterwards, his name rapidly fell into obscurity as Crosby’s career surged.
