TenStarsplus!!!!! OMG!!!! I've heard many versions of this fantabulous song, and until now my favorite was by the late Frankie Laine, but these beautiful ladies just blew the doors off his version!!! Are they still singing? The one on the right looks like a young Gina Lolobrigida!!!! Thank you so much for posting this fantabulous song!!!! Stephen

God they've murdered such a lovely song, David Whitfields 1953 version is best

[Ritasheba]

It's  ok, but i prefer David Whitfield.

[Snoopythack1]

Nice but not as powerful a version os David Whitfields 1953. knocks spots off the rest.

NICE VERSION,

The BEST version of this song!

@Gerry50ify Have you ever heard Donna Loren's version of this? All those years she wasted her remarkably strong voice singing about the wonders of Dr Pepper, but her version is rather mind-blowing..

[Gerry50ify]

@shmuli9 No, I never did hear Donn'a version. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

This is no mystery or original arrangement it is The Earls version 1966, check it out on youtube.

So that's where the "somewhere above" part at the beginning and end came from, along with the ahhhhhhs. This version certainly is more like the Earls version than any other revealing the main inspiration, but it still adds a few things to it. The melody lines are sung a bit differently in the versions and there is no spoken part in the Delrons version. Also, the Delrons version has more orchestration which helps to drive the power in the arrangement, and ultimately builds to a powerful finale.

Slightly different in the arrangement..very powerful, no wonder your favorite...Tom
