On a tour of the United States in 1958, Fogg was given an Indian headdress and the title “Singing White Eagle” by the chief of the Tuscarora tribe. More popular in the 1950s than before the war, he sang everything from old tangos to the Soviet hit “Tyomnaya Noch”, the popular “The First Grey Hair” and even “The Bridge on the River Kwai”.
