Randy Lane
Popular crooner from the convoluted "Romance in the Rain" story of romance comic book Love at First Sight #28 (May 1954).
Dodging a crowd of rabid female fans, he ducks into a San Francisco music box shop run by Vicky who falls for him. But he already has a fiance, Marda Jackson, who Vicky discovers doesn't really love him, but only interested in his success.
When Lane's concert goes poorly and is panned in the paper, Marda dumps him for his manager Charles. Lane reveals to Vicky he deliberately sang poorly so Marda would, in fact, jilt him (?!), so he would be free to marry Vicky.
Then Lane gets a telegram with a job offer at a New York supper club, showing his career is still fine.
