Excellent.....a fine song and excellent use of photos to show a glimpse of Annette Funicello's life and the more simple times of yesteryear.....a great voice, talent and a fine lady whose life to me represents dignity and class...

This can only be described as hauntingly beautiful, as a solo, unembellished (no doubletracking, echo or any other processing) mezzo soprano literally resonates against a simple acoustic guitar background. Result? The best love ballad she EVER recorded. The fact it has never been included in any of the Disney-produced Annette compilations released in the last two decades is a crime - and suggests just how oblivious that company has become to the real treasure sitting in its archives.

ncatt, thanks so very much for posting this. I have been searching for it for a long time, but didn't find it as it's listed as Softly Your Love rather than Because You're You. I also prefer this version more than the duet of it she did with Frankie Avalon. A beautuful girl with a lovely voice. Thanks again ncatt

Nice...There is a version of this she sings with Frankie A. and it's titled "Because You're You''. Could you verify the correct title..I think her solo version is better..Thanks for posting this.

Really beautiful ballad, the stereo really enhances the effect.

i certainly agree with johnnygnv. annette's recordings fully deserve the reissue treatment. most of these songs transcend their supposed "camp" appeal through the sincerity of ms. funicello's vocal performance. i can still remember purchasing the rhino reissues (on vinyl) back in the early 80's. the hipper-than-thou clerk shot me a look as if to ask, "why would you spend money on this?" well, doofus, if you don't know now, you never will.
AMO ESTA CANÇÃO...
