My favorite piece from my favorite operetta. Written by Sigmund Romberg. B-side of "Oh, Promise Me". Recorded in 1947 and released in June 1949 according to Billboard. The most famous version of this song is likely the recording by Mario Lanza, which is also fantastic. Richard Crooks also recorded a stellar version.

The best of all of them. Including Caruso.

Not only was he a great singer, but a wonderful human being. I treasure a letter he sent to my mother when she was ill.

+Dick Wexelblat It is very easy to tell Peerce's voice from that of Lanza. They do not sound much alike at all. Peerce had a much darker tenor sound.

Another one of my childhood companions. Now, as an old man, I can't stop the tears.

great. I'd love someone to give me a "blind test" of Lanza vs. this recording to see if I could tell the difference.

Phenomenal voice. Jan Peerce will stand the test of time. What clarity, what power. Too bad his name has not spread to many in subsequent generations. Truthseekeramr1946

As much as I like Peerce's voice, I always felt this number works best as an ensemble piece. I never cared much the Lanza version either as I missed the smaller solo parts. To me, this is one of Romberg's jewels when all the vocal parts and chorus perform together. OT: If you've never heard Kern's "All The Things You Are" performed as the written ensemble, it will knock your socks off.

Actually an operetta king also recorded it, Richard Tauber and he was an operetta king before Peerce and Lanza. Peerce also sang it on the Chicago theater of the air, WGN Chicago radio, national Brdcst. and it was an entire short version of the operetta. Lanza's early Rec. in 1953 for the film version with Edmund Purdom doing the acting parts was very beautiful also.
