@generationll Actually the recurring theme from Victory at Sea is "Beneath the Southern Cross." Oscar Hammerstein added lyrics to Richard Rogers' composition.

You're welcome, Nancy. I'm glad that you found me.

I think this is the type of song he preferred to sing and it shows better the quality of his voice and what he was able to do.

There is a lovely version by an Italian opera singer called Gianluca Paganelli.

Ronnie Hilton does a good job on this lovely song, but does not come close to Perry's version, his voice is not as good as Perry's.

Great music,reminds me of watching Victory at sea with my dad.

"One of the many factors in his success was Como's insistence on his principles of good taste; if he considered something to be in bad or poor taste, it was not in the show or broadcast." source: wikipedia
