MARIO LANZA "volume II:1949-1951,the great lanza" cd,2003
i won this one on a radio contest a year or so ago...cant remember the question i needed to answer correctly in order to be the winner, but i was!
i did know of Mario previous to this, mainly his racing career in "mario kart" on nintendo64...LOL,
no seriously, my dad used to have a Mario vinyl album from back in the day, heard it a few times, did nothing to turn my ear or attention, probably because i couldnt understand a bloody word he was singing...
anyway, im assuming that by the title of this one that it is some sort of compilation from the 49-51 period...
i like the melodies and tunes,however, i still cannot understand a bloody word he is singing, and for that alone i do not like it...
look, not bad for background music, not really my thing but this guy was a superstar back in the day, so cannot really knock him i guess...
i did not score this one, because i couldnt and wouldnt know where to start with it, so below are a couple of links of tracks contained within this twenty-three track set.
