- Notes:
~ The team of writer's and composers working on Jane Froman's TV Show 'USA Canteen' in 1952 was
asked to come up with a song Miss Froman could popularize. Because the
show's mail indicated that people were very concerned about the Korean
War, writer Erwin Drake recalled: "We thought we might be able to
write a kind of song that would give the average person hope." And
what a song it was. "I Believe" became a million-seller for
Frankie Laine. And practically every singer has performed it. Perry's
version is almost like a hymn; he sings it with fervour and with a
soaring, open-voiced sound that is beautiful to hear.
