Photos and voice of M. Lanza with master artists' paintings appropriate to the lyrics combine to make this a very pleasing video.

Jerome Kern was the song's composer; the lyrics were done by B. G. (Buddy) DeSylva. "It was written in 1919 for the unsuccessful musical Zip, Goes a Million. In 1920 it was published and reused in the musical Sally whence it was popularized by Marilyn Miller." (Quote is from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_for_the_Silver_Lining )

Thank you for commenting. I am very glad that you not only like Mario's beautiful voice, but that you like my choice of paintings as well. For me, the "silver lining" is one's family: one's parents, husband/ wife, children and grandchildren and extended family. Physical possessions may temporarily make one happy, but, for me, one's family fills a person with lasting pride and joy.

John Keats was right, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever". Mario's voice truly was and continues to be a thing of beauty. Those of us who were fortunate enough to be alive and to get to know him through his early television appearances got to see what a wonderful person he was, not just a very beautiful voice. May his outstanding voice continue to entertain and inspire us now and in the future and may his joyous personality continue to bring him close to us. God bless him, one of a kind.

@MrKonstantin06 Thank you, dear friend. I believe that Mario Lanza’s “silver lining” and his “sunny side of life” were his lovely wife and their four beautiful children. May God rest his soul, he is greatly missed.
