@CarlDuke You’re welcome! I like this version even better than the Nelson Riddle one which is great too. Yes, Mitch recorded quite a few instrumentals with his orchestra, but most of them aren’t that well-known with the possible exception of “The March from the Bridge on the River Kwai”.
Thanks for this. I didn’t know Mitch had an orchestra, just his sing along gang and the ability to run Columbia records with great success. This was one of my mother’s great favorites.
Finally a Lisbon Antigua with a RHYTHM.
What do you know, Mitch Miller rocked.
Next he’ll be today’s teen idol.
Never heard Mitch’s version. The Nelson Riddle version is one of my all time favorite “instrumentals”.
bellissimo fado,bravi!!
