Al Martino - Come Share The Wine The street were dark and the night was cold and yet I walk alone I saw the lights of a cosy place with lanterns all aglow Somebody cried, Dont wait outside, come say, hello The people there, they were singing songs I knew when I was young And from the jukebox I heard a sound I needed to recall. I sang along with every song, I knew them all. Come share the wine No one is a stranger here, theyre your friends and mine Everyones your brother, were a long way from home And we need each other, have no fear, youre welcome here. Come share the wine Its so nice and warm in here, were happy and kind We can understand that youre a long way from home And we have each other, have no fear, youll like it here. It is not so easy to feel at home when homes so far away When all the longing and all the wanting is for yesterday Youve made me find some peace of mind Id like to stay The world seems colder when youre a stranger from a foreign land You need to feel that someone cares and that they understand Many a tear would disappear if we joined hands Come share the wine No one is a stranger here, theyre your friends and mine Everyones your brother, were a long way from home And we need each other, have no fear, youre welcome here. Come share the wine Its so nice and warm in here, were happy and kind We can understand that youre a long way from home But we have each other, have no fear, youll like it here.- published: 12 Feb 2014

PLEASE NOTE: I divided my uploads between multiple channels, Bookmark this link in your browser for instant access to an index with links to all of John1948's oldies classics. LINK: http://tinyurl.com/Channel-Index Alfred Cini was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His parents were immigrants from Malta who ran a construction business, and while growing up he worked alongside his brothers as a bricklayer. However, he was inspired to become a singer by emulating artists such as Al Jolson and Perry Como, and by the success of a family friend, Alfredo Cocozza, who had changed his name to Mario Lanza. After serving with the United States Marines in World War II, including being a part of the Iwo Jima invasion where he was wounded, Cini began his singing career. Encouraged by Lanza, he adopted the stage name Al Martino, taken from his mother's maiden name, and began singing in local nightclubs. In 1948 he moved to New York City, and in 1952 won first place on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts television program with a performance of Como's hit "If". As a result, he won a recording contract with the Philadelphia based independent label BBS, where he recorded the song "Here in My Heart". Lanza had been asked by his label RCA Victor to record the song, but Martino called and pleaded with him not to do so in order to let Martino's version have a clear run. The song spent three weeks at #1 on the US pop charts in June 1952, earning Martino a gold disc and, later in the year, also reached the top of the UK charts. It was number one in the first UK Singles Chart, published by the New Musical Express on November 14, 1952, putting him into the Guinness Book of World Records. "Here in My Heart" remained in the top position for nine weeks in the United Kingdom, a record for the longest consecutive run at #1 which has only since been beaten by five other songs. The record's success led to a deal with Capitol Records, and he released three more singles — "Take My Heart," "Rachel," and "When You're Mine" — through 1953, all of which hit the U.S. Top 40. However, his success also attracted the attention of the Mafia, which bought out Martinos management contract and ordered him to pay $75,000 as a safeguard for their investment. After making a down-payment to appease them, he moved to Britain. His popularity allowed him to continue to perform and record successfully in the UK, headlining at the London Palladium and having six further British chart hits in the period up to 1955, including "Now" and "Wanted". However, his work received no exposure back in the US. In 1958, thanks to the intervention of a family friend, Martino was allowed to return to the US and resume his recording career, but he faced difficulties in re-establishing himself, especially with the arrival of rock and roll. The success of his 1962 album The Exciting Voice of Al Martino secured him a new contract with Capitol, and was followed by a mostly Italian language album, The Italian Voice of Al Martino, which featured his version of the then internationally popular song, "Al Di Là." He also made several high-profile television appearances, helping to re-establish his visibility. In 1963, he had his biggest US chart success with "I Love You Because", a cover of Leon Payne's 1950 country music hit. Arranged by Belford Hendricks, Martino's version went to #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and #1 on the Easy Listening chart. The album of the same name went Top 10 in the Billboard 200. Martino had four other US top 10 hits in 1963 and 1964 - "Painted, Tainted Rose" (1963), "I Love You More and More Every Day", "Tears and Roses" and "Silver Bells" (all 1964). He also sang the title song for the 1964 film, Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. One of his biggest hits was "Spanish Eyes", achieving several gold and platinum discs for sales. Recorded in 1965, the song reached #5 on the UK Singles Chart when re-issued in 1973. The song, with a tune by Bert Kaempfert originally titled "Moon Over Naples", is among the 50 most played songs worldwide. Martino's run of chart success faded after the mid-1960s, although many of his records continued to reach the US Hot 100. SOURCE: Wikipedia- published: 12 Feb 2014

My first video(sighs) its a little shaky but i posted anyway. Tell me what you think? ~Lyrics~ Speak softly love And hold me warm against your heart I feel your words The tender trembling moments start We're in our world Our very own Sharing a love that only Few have ever known Wine colored days, warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights, when we are one Speak softly love So no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make Will live until we die My life is yours And all because You came into my world with Love so softly love [Musical interlude] Speak softly love So no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make Will live until we die My life is yours And all because You came into my world with Love so softly love- published: 12 Feb 2014
