  • Joni would have sounded far better if she had performed her songs in higher keys. Her pitch and volume problems resulted from the simple fact that she was a very natural soprano trying to force herself into the chesty pop singer range.

  • The album was released in 1958. It was recorded in the Fall of 1957 and this song was actually recorded at a session completing this album and beginning the album "Ti Voglio Bene--I Love You." In the end, M-G-M decided to go with the Italian album first and save the "Souvenirs" album for summer marketing. Tony Acquaviva did not arrange or conduct the "100 Strings" albums, Tony Osborne and Geoff Love did. Tony conceived the albums and co-produced them with Norman Newell. All are on C.D.

  • This lovely melody was featured in the James Cagney/ Olivia DeHavilland movie "The Strawberry Blonde".

  • I've always loved this album by Joni (my favourites are the ones she recorded with 100 strings, incredibly sophisticated arrangments by her former husband, Tony Acquaviva). It's such a pity that her albums are so RARE to find and the marketplace sellers ask such huge amount of money for her records. I hope that the record company will reissue all her records one day.

  • Treasured and cherished. Very nice version.

  • the velours version was better

  • What is it about this remarkable woman? Everything she did gives me goosebumps.

    Nobody comes close.

  • Joni does not have ANYTHING that is average or below but ALL is above. *****. Thanks for sharing Fegen.

  • What can I say.

    I agree with Fegan's comments.

    A great old song sung beautifully by Joni.

  • The album now a cd from which this beautiful

    song was recorded by Joni was released in

    1957.

    Joni's interpretation of this old song

    is special and needless to say terrific.
