Charted at #53 on Billboard Hot 100 in September 1956. Mario's greatest pop chart success was in the early '50's but this recording brought Mario back to the Billboard charts, after an absence of three years. In the meantime he had some hits in the UK with songs from "The Student Prince". Following "Earthbound", he would have one more entry on the Hot 100, "Arrivederci Roma" which charted at #97 in May 1958. Sammy Davis Jr. also charted at #46 with his version of "Earthbound" during the same month.
Written by Bob Musel, Clive Richardson & Jack Taylor.
B-side is "This Land".

Thanks for posting this seldom heard beautiful song. I was listening to a CD of Mario Lanza's & when I heard this song thought he sang it with such brilliance. Found this video of it & never tire of hearing it. What a God Given talent he shared with the world. He left us much too soon, but he & his voice live on. Rest peacefully our shining star.9 years ago

@musicmandon1 Yes, a tragic loss on both counts.12 years ago

Great song. The tragedy here is that Lanza only lived to be 38, dying in 1959. Likewise, Enrico Caruso only lived to age 45. Even in his day singing stars had a way of dying young.Related Videos
