Originally a French tune called "Le Petit Cordonnnier." French was not the chosen language for the one verse in the tune where the boys sang in a different language, however. No, they were Italian fellows and most of their songs contains a verse of Italian.Wonder how that would work today.
Hugo Winterhalter also recorded this with his orchestra with a "friend." Of course, we all knew it was Eddie Fisher but his name did not appear on the label. Winterhalter's version got as high as #9 on Billboard's charts.

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice in Ronnie Gaylord's voice, patterns and tone similar to those of Mel Torme?

What's in a name....Talent is what matters..

Wouldn't work today, there's nobody getting "Capped", no Autotune, no filthy lyrics, no window-busting bass, & most notably, NO NI66-Erm, Afro-Americans grabbing their genitals....

Billiant, to combine Italian and english .. in this ear casting tune...
Makes my mornings more happy, before I go to my work

In my effort to try to get a copy of the score to the Roy O'brian commercial, the music of which is based on this song, I managed to track down the widow of Ronnie Gaylord (real name of Ronald Fredianelli). But she does not know if the score even still exists or who might have it. Every once in a while I phone Terri in Nevada just to chat.

unfortunate name far a band although listening to the song quite apt...

brings back fond memories of the 'baby boomer' generation of the 50's & 60's ~ this song received a lot of airplay on the old AM radios... Thanks for posting ~ also listen to the Petula Clark version which is also very good~!

"most of their songs contains a verse of Italian.Wonder how that would work today" I wonder how their name would work today!
Did Petual Clark record this one?

@rtbcomp Indeed, Petula recorded this song and was included in a number of her albums, most notably "Songs for Grandad" which was a collection of songs by different artists. Thanks for your interest!
