Charted at #82 on Billboard Hot 100 in August 1958. Another great record from this underrated singer. Original Billboard review: "This is a great big, wide-open vocal in legit style by the gal, of a deeply felt love ballad. Strong wax, particularly for today's market. Should be watched." Billboard rating: 78 out of 100. Written by Otto Cesana. B-side is "Hands Across the Sea".

This song was also recorded by David Whitfield.

This was a cover of Otto Cesana's original recording for Columbia. Actually, he did two recordings, one an instrumental and the other with a vocal by Jubilee records artist Joe Foley, who on the disc jockey copies got a phony name since he was under contract to Jubilee. Everyone expecte this record to break Janice Harper through to the big time but mysteriously it did not.

Janice Harper was a great singer! Bon voyage was a big hit and then she seemed to fade away what a pity.

one of the best songs by Janice Harper was hands across the sea 1958.Janice came too late for this kind of music. if she sang these songs between 1950-1955 she would have been much more popular.

I posted the lyrics...I don't know why Janis Harper was not more popular because her voice is perfect, her diction is perfect, on key, on time, every time. Just perfection. I wish she could have lived forever. Love you Janice

@borden1957 It took years of searching, before YouTube came into existence. On this channel, I've done 871 so far, but I have some other channels too. Thanks for your continued support!

Noticed that you are continuing to do a good job. Do you know how many recordings you have done so far? Noticed that your 1st anniversary is coming soon in December. Did you ever mentioned how you got all those records? Don't give up.
