Perry Como Live - Once Upon a Time

  • Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
  • Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall. November 28, 1962.
    With Mitchell Ayers' Orchestra.
    "Bye, Bye, Birdie" and "It's a Bird - It's a Plane - It's Superman!" are among the Broadway shows of Lee Adams and Charles Strouse. The two also had a brief entry on the Great White Way titled "All American", and though it came and went without making much of a ripple in the season of 1962, "Once Upon a Time", the love song from the show, remained behind. Unlike the Adams-Strouse hits "Put On a Happy Face" and "I Want To Be with You", it is a sad and poignant reminiscence of all the things that happened or might have happened in the long ago.
    (notes from "The Incomparable Como" Readers Digest UK compilation 1975)

      I agree, even better than the other Como renditions you can find on UA-cam. Funny, though, the sound mixing here is of (I mean, the original TV recording)f, the orchestra is far too strong.
