Jerry Vale - Alone Again (Naturally) - Remastered '1972/2018

Tracks list

Jerry Vales beautiful high-tenor voice graced many of the most enchanting pop
songs of the 50s and 60s, including a parade of Italian-American favorites like
Innamorata (Sweetheart), Volare, Amore, Scusami, and his signature song, Al Di
La. Vale, born Genaro Louis Vitaliano in 1932, learned the Italian repertoire
from an early age; his mother often sang around the house and trotted out the
old songs at extended-family gatherings. While shining shoes at a local barber
shop at the age of 11, young Vitaliano began singing popular songs for customers
while he worked. He was soon sent to a vocal coach, where he learned piano as
well as voice. Over the course of just four years, hed progressed from school
productions to paying gigs to residencies at supper clubs around New York City.

I Have But One Heart After Guy Mitchell caught his set at one club, Jerry Vale
began recording demonstration discs for Columbia. When A&R supremo Mitch Miller
heard his excellent voice, however, he signed Vale to his own contract. Vale
first hit the charts in 1953 with You Can Never Give Me Back My Heart (arranged
by Percy Faith), and continued during the mid-50s with Two Purple Shadows, I
Live Each Day, and his biggest hit, You Dont Know Me. Though his first
explicitly Italian recording, Innamorata (Sweetheart), finally appeared in 1956,
it wasnt until 1962 that Vale convinced the notoriously conservative Miller to
record a full album of Italian songs. I Have But One Heart proved a big seller
and was followed one year later by Arrivederci, Roma and a continental LP, The
Language of Love, both of which placed even higher than the first on the album
charts.

There Goes My Heart Though the mid-60s were a trying time for traditional pop
singers, Vale continued to be successful, with singles like Have You Looked Into
Your Heart and For Mama, and Top 40 LPs like There Goes My Heart and Its Magic.
And even after his albums began failing to make the charts in the early 70s,
Vale remained a popular name in clubs and on television throughout the 70s and
80s. (Source: AMG)
