Some fine songs there.
And a fine, fine singer. He always made it sound so easy!
One song that is not on the #1 hits list, but was a favorite of mine, was his version of When You Were Sweet Sixteen. A lovely ballad (previously recorded by others including Al Jolson), it was very special to my late parents. To this day, hearing that song gets ol' Vitelli misty-eyed. I still have the old 78rpm recording in my record cabinet.
Signor V.
"For me, there's only my wife..."
"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
