I came onto this video expecting a version of the song that was less amazing than Frank Sinatra's version, but Alice Groves has made this song entirely unique and amazing in its own way. Beautiful job, not that you need my compliments to affirm yourself.12 years ago

great classic...interesting version...but a bit disheartened by some incorrect lyrical phrasing.....should be..."so back to my room, and there in the gloom, i cry.....tears of goodbye."....otherwise its one of the better versions available. thank you.12 years ago

Hi hamzamans, This is my cover version (I am singing here) of the song originally made for the Brazilian film "Black Orpheus" in the 1950's. This video is my own original work. Glad you like it! Alice Groves CanadaRelated Videos
