Elvis loved Enrico Caruso, who sang it years before our man sang it. It's okay, because it's short. Don't want to hear three minutes of this.
What there was of it, which was just over a minute was good, and sung well by Elvis, but I always felt this sounded like a long intro on something still to come.
This is such a beautiful song and Elvis' rendition of it was marvelous. I love hearing Elvis sing in foreign languages.
Another good song from the "Viva las Vegas" movie. To bad it is a litlle short, i like Elvis singing foreign languages. 31/2 stars
Italian, an more then ok song.
