e was doorman of the Cabaret Royal Pigall which later became the famous Ta-Ba-Rís.

The show business milieu to which he was closely connected because of his job in that bohemian life he had to frequent, added to his inclination for singing and guitar playing, drove him to write lyrics for tangos which were musicalized by popular composers of his time.

Two of them were recorded by Carlos Gardel whom he met and was in touch with in that milieu of the old Corrientes street; one of them, “Normiña”, has lyrics by Carlitos himself, due to his express request, and the other, “Muñeca de carne”, was written on Juan Bautista Guido’s music.

His inquietudes made him write a book about traditional customs but the passing of time left no traces of it, not even its title. He was contributor to the La Canción Moderna magazine.

His collaborators were the composers Julio Pollero, Samuel Castriota, Juan Guido.

Capone was born in Buenos Aires on July 20, 1890 and there he died on October 31, 1951.
