This is really old back when women knew how to dress, Petula got a lot better but womens clothes didn't

[blormp1]

yep. jacbar39 is totally correct

petula is real

[jacbar39]

a lovely girl, with a lovely voice, wearing a lovely dress, who somehow manages to be sexy and alluring without screeching " oh baby, oh baby " ad nauseum and rolling around on the floor. a lesson for every "singer" in the business today. and a lesson for the culture at large, i think.

Thats not Sean Connery is it?

[sleepypie]

That is John Conte, an actor and singer (1915-2006) who hosted this show, "Mantovani," a syndicated musical series which ran 39 episodes from - as davie12 nailed it - 1958 to 1959. Conte was no relation to Richard Conte, the actor who played Don Barzini in "The Godfather."

I've not heard the French version, but I'd love to. I agree that the German version is fantastic. Judging by the hairstyle and the frock, Shoemaker, I'd say that 1958/59 would be a fair guess of when this was broadcast.

[thecatatthewindow]

the french version exist too !!!

[niederl]

She sang that version much faster than the original studio version - Also love her german version of that song

Thank's for all the joy you bring Pet!!!

[davie12]

Yep, you're right... Thank you Pet. That was delightful. Love the frock too!!
