Today's album is a bit of a change of pace for me. I don't listen to opera or classical music very much, but I came across this Mario Lanza album (which I got for free when I bought a couple of other albums from a seller on eBay), so I decided to go ahead and share it with y'all. I do like Mario, and I love anything Italian, so here we have Italian songs sung in Italian by an Italian-American! The most fun song is, of course, "Funiculi' Funicula'" - everyone has heard this one. It's just fun saying it! So, pour yourself a glass of red wine and listen to Mario serenade you! (BTW, one of the things I really like about this record is that it's red vinyl - cool!)

Hmm, a late one. Lanza died in 1959 but he was only born in the early 20s. Thanks for this. He had a gorgeous voice!

I am beginning to like Mario Lanza. My favorite of his songs is
"Be My Love." But then I haven't really heard many of his songs . . . until now! Thanks.
