Notes: ~ introduced by Nelson Eddy in the 1937 Hollywood musical "Rosalie"

and it was heard again in the 1945 Cole Porter biography Hollywood musical

"Night and Day." Perry's version was recorded in February 1955 for his first full

length album "So Smooth" and believed to be the first recorded Como sessions

specifically intended for inclusion within the new 12" long play album format.
