I have a rough deadline to meet tomorrow so I can't do a really first-rate post. How about a really good second-rate post?...second-rate only because I can't take the time to comment on it...Mario Lanza singing "Be My Love." Boy, he really belts this out! If I've posted this before then forgive me, but I doubt many will mind hearing it a second time.
Here's (above) a song that used to be sung at weddings. It starts mild then Mario goes into turbo mode the way Caruso used to do.
"singing "Because" to a giant sandwich." Poor Mario eventually couldn't play lead roles in movies because he gained so much weight. In "The Student Prince" he gloriously supplied the singing voice of the title character, mimed on-screen by a stiff named Edmund Purdom. Too many sandwiches!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YA BUCK TOOTHED BASTARD!!
ReplyDeleteSomewhere there is footage of Mario Lanza singing "Because" to a giant sandwich.

ReplyDelete"too many sandwiches" Well, they didn't call him "Mario Labonza" for nothing! Actually, Mario's great, though my man is still Jussi Bjoerling.
