I've loved this song since I was 8 years old. I'm 64 now I still love this song

Great orchestration,very good version,I like this and Dalida's version too.

I've wondered too about "Fascination" and other songs being half music and singing (is15310. Is it still part of the culture of "going down the Palais" where there was a chanteuse(is that spelled right?) fronting the dance band, or was it the limited play time on a 78 or the new 45 r.p.m. records. Or perhaps a combination of both?

I think that double martiny has had two doubles too many! Dalida is singing a Eurovision pop song, whereas Jane produces a romantic ballad. The voices are different too. Dalida seems favour the upper registers and Jane is coloratura contralto. The warmth in Janes voice is more obvious when you hear the song on c.d., and before anyone says it's not been released in this format, i've got it on an M.F.P. compilation album.

I thought Jane and JP had great voices. It's very strange that a song so short as "Fascination" that Jane only sang half of the song. That is so weird. The ist half of the song was instrumental.

Though this song was written from a male perspective I think Dalida's is the most romantic I have heard of all the versions of this song. This lady is a very clear singer but I don't think she gives it the warmth, tenderness or passion of other singers.
