I too am old enough to have bought this LP when it first came out. I would like to request that the whole "Eastern and Western Love" scene be posted. This is three separate male songs. The bass begins with "Let love come" arguing for polygamy. The tenor sings "One flower" arguing further for polygamy and finally the baritone answers them with "One Alone" - defending monogamy. On this recording the tenor was Peter Palmer of L'il Abner fame.

As much as I like Lanza's version, Tozzi and Barr's duet is the best!

OMG! the memories this brings back ! I bought this album when I was 17 (I'm now 51) and sang along with it until I sounded very nearly like Giorgio Tozzi! Then, when I got the chance to audition for the Desert Song in college, I won the lead because the director said "for a 20 year old, you sound so much like Giorgio Tozzi, we don't have any other choice but to give you the role"

HaHa! I'm so old I bought this record when it
was new.
Saw Tozzi live with the Met. One of America's
greats basses.
Tnx for the memories.

You are welcome, rockgor! I am so old I saw him in a couple of movies after he had slowed down on the singing. I think he is absolutely perfect. C.

I was blessed to have Ms. Barr as a vocal instructor for a brief few weeks ( Frt. Lee,N.J./ 1988-89 )and got to see this ACTUAL album on her wall, for which and award was won. She was a grace and beauty-red head even after all those years passed. No full of herself attitude. Thank- You to the person who posted this. FOND MEMORIES!!!
