Composed by a Syrian-Lebanese Christian (Paul Anka) and a Lower East Side Jew (Sammy Cahn) and sung by a Hoboken Italian (Frank). Music brings us together, people.
The original version was a french song (Laisse moi le temps) composed to participate in the International Song Festival of Viña del Mar, here in Chile in 1973. Paul Anka only adapted the song for Frank.
Ascolta anche la versione live di Jerry Lewis. E dimmi quale delle due ti emoziona di più. Non per la voce in sè ma per l'emozione interpretativa in sè. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FutNWp_QuLs.html&start_radio=1
Frank.....This song is so beautiful, but you needed a rest. We have to listen to what our bodies are telling us, but this one is just magnificent......Still love you............Betsy
The whole album that contained this tune was fantastic "Ol blue eyes is back" every track a testament to the genius of Sinatra and Nelson Riddle who if I remember arranged it. Sadly it was the last birthday present my dad bought for my mum before she passed away in 1975 so many memories for me.
