Growing up as a kid in the ’90s, I only knew Della Reese from that show “Touched by an Angel”. I had no idea she could sing; then one night, I saw her on one of those late-night infomercials for a pop standards CD collection, belting this song. It has been a favorite ever since and I ended up getting that collection, which exposed me to other amazing artists I’d never heard of before (Johnnie Ray, Frankie Laine, Jo Stafford, etc.) Greatest music ever made, if you ask me. Absolutely timeless!
A most beautiful rendidtion of a great song from a great opera as sung by the beautiful Miss DELLA REESE! I remember this song when I was just a little boy,and it sounds just as good to me now as it did then.
In the summer of 1962 I lived with my aunt. She had two records, this was one of them. I played them over and over. In 1980 my husband was also operated on at University Hospital in London, Ontario. Dr. Drake was fantastic. Thank you, Della, for all they work you’ve done for them. When I hear this song, I cry. It’s so beautiful.
I’ve always liked this song and Della does it so well, great vibrato control right through the very last note. Thank you so much, and thank you, Della, for a song which has a very honest, expressive quality to it.
my daddy loved this song, he had it as a seven single back in the day, wish I could remember what was on the flipside. he’s dead now, bless him and me.
@777Sunman777 I have actually been meaning to post that song, alongside a couple of other ones too. But I’ve been having some technical issues lately, but I will have them up just as soon as possible.
I have been listening to this song for almost 30 years now, but I never get tired of hearing it. What a voice!!
Go ahead, try to sing this song in the shower and then you realize what a talent Miss Della Reese really is.
A bronx tale!
Great song and voice.
Thank you for sharing…
Della, as you say, belted out this song…and I also became an instant fan of hers.
Greatsong, She was a wonderful artist, The music is actually from Puccini’s opera La Bomeme. It is Musetta’s aria “Quando men vo”.
A #1 hit for Della Reese on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 58th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era.
della is in the new movie “Expecting mary”aka The Christmas movie,fantastic!
