This album was recorded on location in Rome, Italy, with lush orchestrations under the direction of Nick Perito and an Italian chorus under the direction of Ray Charles. Not generally known is the guiding hand of RCA's Steve Sholes who is also credited as having urged Perry to record in Nashville. The recording quality of these sessions is second to none and Perry's vocal performance, if not his Italian, is second to none. The mixing of Italian and English lyrics is charming as is the gentle accent of the chorus. |
