Isle of Capri | 1934 | Forgotten Favourites | Nicole Hulett

"Isle of Capri"
music by Will Grosz, lyrics by Jimmy Kennedy
The Readers Digest 'Popular Songs That Will Live Forever' Songbook says:
Romantic and nostalgic, with an amusing twist at the end, “Isle of Capri” is a product of the famed British songwriting team of Will Grosz and Jimmy Kennedy. Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadian introduce the ballad in the USA in 1934, and Xavier Cugat and his Orchestra popularised it further through their nightclub appearances and recordings. But it was the raucous swing version by Wingy Manone in 1935 that brought the song its greatest fame and gave the one-armed trumpeter his first hit recording

My dream is to one day charter a sailboat and sail down to Amalfi and back up the coast to Isle of Capri.
