Mario Lanza The Loveliest Night of the Year Gordeeva Grinkov

Photos of M. Lanza, Ann Blyth, and champion ice skaters Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov skating while Lanza sings, combine the perfection of Mario s voice with the perfection of Gordeeva and Grinkov s ice skating. Mario Lanza sings Loveliest Night of the Year so very beautifully, he touches your heart. Long may his legacy live through his movies, his many recordings, videos on YouTube and through other media outlets. His voice may never be equaled. This music was first published as a waltz called Sobre las olas ( Over the Waves ) in 1888 written by Juventino P. Rosas. In 1950 the music was adapted by Irving Aaronson with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster for the movie The Great Caruso. It was recorded by Mario Lanza and became one of the most popular songs of 1951 reaching No. 3 in the US Billboard Charts. (Information from Wikipedia) br, br,
