one guy on here says this isn't Lanza (who do you THINK it is - PeeWee Herman?) another says "sorry if he's some kind of legend." ........if he's some kind of legend. You can't make this shit up. God must've loved assholes, for he made soooo many of them.
Mandy Patinkin did it a million times better. This guy just tried too hard. Sorry if he's some kind of legend, but this just isn't anywhere near as good as Patinkin's. =\
@WhispersFromTheAbyss I wouldn't say he is trying to hard, he was an operatic tenor so he sings it in an operatic fashion which can cause him to over-power a song. As for Patinkin, he does a much better version of Lanza in the sense that it would be better for a musical, however I like Lanzas' voice much more.
@WhispersFromTheAbyss I heard Patamkin's version which was very nice&enjoyable but sung at least a whole octive lower.Mr. Patamkin's voice is very soothing to listen tobut it's not truly an identifiable voice because of its white SOUNDING quality which many broadway singers have.What makes it white sounding is that he is really speaking the lyrics on the breadth& not the diaphram which would give his voice more individual chacacter as 95% of the time I can identify my favorite tenors.Enjoy
This song has never been sung better. Usually, the singer has to strain to hit the high note. Lanza was born to hit the high notes with tremendous power.
The theme song in the 1958 movie South Pacific. Mario Lanza is always at his best when he sings. Great voice. Marvelous song. My appreciation for your uploading of this music.
Man. I love this song. I had no idea there was a recording of him doing it. Now I have to learn to sing the "A" instead of the "G" haha. Typical Lanza. Transposing up.
Yoni; As always your very welcome, it's a real treat to hear my Lanza songs on 'YT' so i dont have to dig into my Lanza archives to here a song i want to hear. Thanks so much for posting. Lanza always get a 5 Stars. Very appropriate pictures too.
lovely, airy, unforced ... v. much like the Lt. in South Pacific who finds himself falling in love with the heavenly Polynesian beauty.

What is amazing is how perfect his diction is. Usually, opera quality singers sacrifice the lyrics for the notes.

@theodorewarren He was better than them. His pronunciation is fantastic-opera singers butcher their words. I know-I sing opera and have stopped.
