"Three Coins in the Fountain" is a popular song which received
the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1954.

The melody was written by Jule Styne, the lyrics by Sammy Cahn.
It was written for the romance film, Three Coins in the Fountain
and refers to the act of throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain
in Rome while making a wish. Each of the film's three stars
performs this act.

Cahn and Styne were asked to write the song to fit the movie
but were unable to either see the film or read the script. They
completed the song in an hour and had produced a demonstration
record with Frank Sinatra by the following day.

The song was subsequently used in the film soundtrack but in the
rush Twentieth Century Fox neglected to sign a contract with the
composers, allowing them to claim complete rights over the royalties.
The song was subsequently recorded by The Four Aces, who had
a number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard pop chart chart in 1954,
while the Sinatra recording topped the UK Singles Chart for three
weeks in September and October that year.

There's a Goldmine Of Romantic Music
that is in the process of being LOST
forever. Music written in the first half
of the Last Century offers Romance,
Beauty & Great Lyrics that incorporates
a Happy, Uplifting & Positive Worldview
that is quite rare today.

The Music in this 15 Minute Video offers
you unrealized Romantic Beauty yet with
a Contemporary Story that your mind
composes as it views the High Definition
Photographs and Captivating Videos!

This Elegant & Enticing Music was first
recorded on 33 1/3 Phonographs, transferred
to Cassette Tape, then C.D.s and finally
to my Computer so the quality is not
paradigmatic.

Perhaps one day, others will discover
this Enchanting Treasure and this music
will become more available on the Internet.
Even better would be if new Mantovanis,
Percy Faiths, Norman Luboffs, Arthur
Fiedlers, etc. would discover and record
with a fresh talent true to the original
intent these Romantic and Rapturous
Delights!

A recording by Dinah Shore with orchestra conducted by Harry Geller was made at Radio Recorders, Hollywood, on March 24, 1954. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-5755 (in USA)[3] and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number B 10730. The flip side of both recordings was "Pakistan".
Between 1972 and 1974, this song was covered by Singapore-based female singer Ervinna, backing music by the Charlie & His Boys, on her LP album Golden Hits Of 20th Century Vol. 6[4] with the White Cloud Record of Singapore.
It was recorded by Jack Jones in 1990, and used in the film Coins in the Fountain that same year. Steve Martin sings "Three Coins in a Fountain" when trying to attempt a sing-along in the film, Planes, Trains and Automobiles. It was parodied in the Goon Show.
