I think Perry Como was the greatest crooner of the 20th century. Notice I said "crooner." Sinatra was a great singer, as was Bing Crosby, and the debate would be among these three, but for sheer melodic crooning, I go with Como.
@tallyshark It is a toss up between Bobby darin and perry perry was great Bobby both giants... Perry had a smoothness to his voice that not many could come close to...
Love this song. And was no nice that Perry came out with this one later in his career - as I was a teen when this came out and I was a little kid when I first had a crush on him.
I became a fan of Perry Como when "It's Impossible" was in the charts in the early 1970s and i've remained a fan ever since - much to the amusement of the kids i grew up with!
Pure Class.....you can't manufacture it: you've either have it or you don't!
Thanks for posting this wonderful Como song, one of his last top 10 hits. Through the rock 'n' roll and later rock music eras, Perry was the one great singer who kept breaking through on the charts.
We have(Americans and Italians) a Great Singer. But only in America could have successful initially. As always happens, after the success in America, Italy also has noticed that it was a Great Singer, the warm voice.
Pierino Como was born the son of Italian immigrants in western Pennsylvania in 1912. What a wonderful talent and what a wonderful man he was. Perry was very doubtful about giving up his steady job as a barber to test the waters as a singer. So glad he took the risk.
Perry Como - what a treat! This does remind me of "Fever." His voice can melt butter! The Anita Kerr Singers provide a great back-up. Thanks Basil :-)

Ve-e-ry smooth, Sir B! Unlike Mr. Sinatra in High Society, where he says to Bing, "Don't dig that kind of crooning, chum!" , I certainly do.

A great combination of the smoothest lead and smoothest backing vocals.

Very relaxed song.Reminds me of "Fever",the same laidback style but in the same time quite suggestive.
Great song.
Gracias.
