Emilio Pericoli - "Al Di La"

[Arnold]

Here's another American pop hit, sung completely in Italian.  It was out in May-June, 1962, and reached number 6 on the Hot 100.  I was 19 years old when this was out.  I like it, do you?

I've never heard this version, but I have the version by the Ray Charles Singers from 1964.
It's a different Ray Charles, not the blind one.

[allow that]

A staple in Italian-American culture. Love it!
