- Notes:
~ The moving love song IF was first published in 1934 but did not become well
known
- until 1951 when eight different versions became hits almost
simultaneously!
- Perry Como's was the No. 1 recording; others were by Jo
Stafford, Dean Martin,
- Billy Eckstine, the Ink Spots, Guy Lombardo, Jon Garber
and Vic Damone.
