Ad di la, very beautiful. My parents and brother had that song by various artists, Connie Francis for one, and Jerry Vale. I don't know Ray Allen by name. Was that a stage name? I'll ask my parents if they know it.
My father's very favorite was Mario Lanza, who was a household name in my house.
I too remember them being real critics on who spoke the best Italian (in song). Ha ha.....Connie Francis they say, spoke it very well. Don't know why I remember that but I do.
Speaking of Jerry Vale, he's on now....."O Solo Mio." Beautiful!!!
