About This Item
Vic Damone was one of the significant coterie of Italian American crooners to come to the fore in the post-war years to play a significant role in the popular music of the time - that group included the likes of Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Al Martino, Frankie Laine and Tony Bennett, so he was in illustrious company. Having got his break, like so many artists, on Arthur Godfreys' Talent Scouts show, he signed with Mercury in 1947 and over the next fifteen years racked up around fifty hits in the Billboard, Cash Box and UK charts, scoring a US No. 1 in 1949 with InchYou're Breaking My HeartInch and a UK No. 1 in 1956 with InchOn The Street Where You LiveInch after he had moved to the Columbia tag. This great value 50-track 2-CD set features 48 tracks which are listed as having made the charts, with many making the Top 10, including InchI Have But One HeartInch, InchAgainInch, InchMy Heart Cries For YouInch, InchHere In My HeartInch and many more. It's a great showcase for a talented and highly successful vocalist whose records captured the essence of the popular music of the times. Album Tracks 1. I Have But One Heart (O Marinariello) 2.
