Notes: ~ Music critics agree that one of the most appealing, but most difficult vocal achievements is

to sing softly and still remain musical and moving. Perry Como accomplishes this nuance

of the vocal art with almost every song he sings. He performs this best seller —

written by Paul J. Vance and Lee Pockriss — so simply and easily that it seems almost

tossed away. Perry's colleagues in the American recording industry recognized the

artistry in the deceptively simple sound of this hit and rewarded it with

a Grammy for Best Vocal Performance, Male, in 1958.

( notes from "The Incomparable Como" Readers Digest UK compilation 1975 )
