My parents frequently had us play that game with classical music at dinnertime, with a "name the composer" contest. I did not fully appreciate the value of the contest until years later.

It certainly made you smarter particularly if you were listening Mozart's music written by an angel accompanied by celestial harmonies!--so they say!

Mine was rather foreboding. " Rags to Riches" by Tony Bennett. It was on the radio lots in the 60's.
Been a gambler since I was 20, lottery and roulette. Finally won second prize Christmas Eve 2011, four days before my birthday. Amounted to 10 years my wages. I kept every last ticket I've boughten.

Saw a live performance of South Pacific some years ago with a singer who closely approximated Giorgio. It was great.

This wasn't a music review thread. Como's version was at the top of the charts for about a month straddling my birth date, hence he gets the credit. As far as the original recording goes, it should be obvious by the title of the thread, that I wasn't around when South Pacific opened on Broadway. (though I did see a revival some decades later)
