Tornerai (J'attendrai) Slow Fox (Olivieri - Rastelli) Also Visconti con Orchestra diretta dal M.Mariotti, Odeon 1937 (Italy)
NOTE: Here's one more recording of the popular Italian singer from the 1930s, Aldo Visconti (it's the label name of the fine Italian Operatic tenor, Emilio Renzi). He recorded dozens of records with Italian dance tunes of the radio-golden era, including such hits like Vivere http://youtu.be/xYtDtcw4Jbw or Torna piccina mia http://youtu.be/-yShRKIDscY . Unfortunately, his affection for Mussolini's regime broke Visconti's career after the end of WW2 and the collapse of fascism in Italy.

Hello Muana. Unfortunately, the sun suddenly went away and today the heavy cold rain has appeared. Goodbye, Indian summer :-)11 years ago

I America, quite famous version was by Hildegarde, and the American title was "I'll Be Yours" - completely different to the European, which were "Au revoir" (in England), Komm zuruck (in Germany) and ofcourse, the most famous French "J'attendrai". Polish title was accurately translated from Italian and it went "Czekam cię" (I'm waiting for you). Take care in these cold days. In Poland we still had a warm Indian summer on Friday and today it abruptly turned into the worst rainy & chiilly Fall.11 years ago

I definetely agree with you. J'attendrai is one of those melodies, one is able to listen and listen to all day, in all possible interpretations. It never bores. Thank you :-)11 years ago

I'm glad that you like it. There's such a rich iconography about the Italian fashions, art etc. from the 1930s that I really had problem which ones to choose. I'm happy, all that seems to work. Thank you :-)11 years ago

It was Elsa Schiaparelli's shoe-hat which debuted in her Fall-Winter 1937-38 collection. It was black and had a crazy pink heel. The first one who wore it and made it famous was the Singer sewing machines heiress, Daisy Fellowes - one of Schiaparelli's best clients.11 years ago

Genia, his dreamy voice to some extent, reminds me of Joseph Schmidt's tenore - both are "full of smile and tears", although their life-story differs so much... Aldo - an Italian pro-fascist and Schmidt - a Jewish refugee from Germany, dying in the Swiss internship camp, without medical help. Yet, the art always brings things on the heaven's level - where just voices sing and nobody wears David's star on his elbow or the "camicia nera" (a black shirt) like the one, Visconti probably did.11 years ago

I really have crush on those wolderful Italian slowfoxes from the 1930s. They are like Tuscanian landscapes: slowly rolling on and on, towards the misty horizon.11 years ago

Caro Grzegorz, Bellissimo J'attendrai, Aldo has the voice of an Angel. I am in Heaven. I Love Italia and Venezia. Love the visual.. Coco and the Prince look wonderful at the Lido, not as good as YOU and Rudy and ME (of course). :-) Love the Poster from La Morte a Venezia and the portait of Auschenbach. I will pretend I am at Florians and have some Proseco and then a decadent hot chocolate. :-) Millioni di Stelle Mille grazie11 years ago

Ah ... "J'attendrai" ... what a lovely one -- and an enchanting version! ... The shoe hat: Wasn't that one of the most whimsical lids in THE era of the playful hat?11 years ago
