Music career
Lombardo was born in London, Ontario, Canada. With his brother Carmen, Lebert was a member of the original Royal Canadians, playing trumpet, cornet, and drums, and occasionally singing. His younger brother Victor Lombardo joined the band later, although Victor was never a partner; ownership of the band remained with the three older brothers.
Lebert Lombardo was never a jazz musician, but trumpeter Louis Armstrong named Lebert as one of his favorite trumpeters, citing Lombardo's ability to play the melody beautifully.
After Guy Lombardo's death in 1977, Lebert's son Bill briefly assumed the role of bandleader. They both retired a few years later, ending the involvement of the Lombardo family in the band.
Personal life
On June 14, 1937, Lombardo married Helen Healey in New York City. Earlier, he had been married to a woman whose first name was Carol. He married Peggy Landers on January 31, 1962.
