This was a more up-beat version, two years after the original in 1958. Personally I liked all versions of this song, a song that was hard to screw-up.
This was a great version of this tune as it was a kind of crossover song to pop/rock for the younger generation to let everyone know that both the young and old could enjoy it...that's the way I remember it anyway. Love Dean Martin's version too!
Bobby brought it to us kids...he let it swing and made it the sound of the times.....classy stuff from a great entertainer in the classic vein of Jolson and Dean Martin...
I just saw Bobby with Frankie and Fabian in Reno and he has the same great rhythm today even though he is noticeably aging (of course). He was the best of the 3. By far, the best singer. The only disappointment was no background singers so I missed that because that was a big part of the song. But, love this song and love Bobby. He was gracious tp the crowd and they all just had a great time performing.
Domenico Modugno and Franco Migliacci wrote the song and Domenico sang the it in 1958 and won at the first Grammy awards that year for song of the year and record of the year. It was his signature song. I do love Bobby's up beat teen style and Dean Martin's version is just the one we remember so much. Dean was one of the greatest singers ever.

it would have been nice to live in the 50;s.. no worries, men were men and wives knew their place!!(just joking!!)BUT,,,, they had nice cars then......
In my opinion, Bobby Rydell does the best version of this song out of everyone who has ever covered it, including the original. Met him last year after a great show he did here in Australia and told him, he was quite chuffed! Got his autograph, spoke to him briefly, he's an absolute gentleman. Great voice and stage presence, a real showman and a funny guy. He was cracking jokes throughout his performance and had the audience laughing a lot. Michael Buble couldn't hold a candle to Bobby Rydell.
Yes, I agree, different cultures interpret music in their own way. For an italian, Domenico Modugno's original version might be better, I don't know. I can't speak for anyone else other than myself. So, for me, the best version of this song is Bobby's even better than the original italian version!
The music, the back up singers and Bobby's voice just set it apart from the few other versions I've heard.
@MrRockabilly70 Since I'm a translator, I see things from behind-the-scene and the translation of the song into English besides Bobby's voice make it unique..Peace Via Music.
Bobby Rydell had such a great voice. In my opinion, if he had chosen a different career path, he could have been one of the all-time great crooners - right up there with Vic Damone, Jack Jones, and well, you know the rest.
@John1948TwoB1a Now, Dean Martin is my absolute favorite singer of all time. If i'm in a slow going mood, i'll listen to Dino's version. If i'm in a more up-tempo mood, i'll listen to Bobby's version. Depends on how i feel.
@John1948TwoB1a i dont like Rydells version, but i have to say he has a great voice. Dino's version was Ok but domenico modugno version is the best. its in pure italian sung well.

GREAT cover version of the original Italian (Dominico Medugnio) version. And the
super-hot female backing vocalist on his hits was WILLA WARD....a Black woman
who originally sang gospel with the Clara Ward Singers!
This song was originally titled "Nel Blu di Pinto di Blu"...if I've got my Italian correctly. Good song to cheer one up on a cloudy day! :)
Too bad we don't have record labels like CAMEO-PARKWAY anymore. They
had some of the best musicians ! And a heavy rhythm section.
