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 Don't Know Me." Though his first explicitly Italian recording, "Innamorata (Sweetheart)," finally appeared in 1956, it wasn't 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.
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 "It's Magic." 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. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
La vie en rose
Jerry Vale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
I'm in a world apart, a world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ca me fait quelque chose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart, a world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose

Nice sensible and plausible comment.
For me it was basically that he lacked the kind of gorgeous tone possessed not only by many of his pop rivals, but
by scores of country singers, not to speak of jazz and classical
artists. Yet, like you realize,
he had enough talent going for him that it is easy for me to comprehend people liking him, whereas, with Bob Dylan, I cannot comprehend falling in love with his voice, AT ALL! I am actually not averse to Sinatra's voice. I bought STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT & EMBRACEABLE YOU,
among others. But I always thought Sinatra was a better actor than a singer, and he was a
master of repartee
as a guest or host on
talk shows. Respected him for all his charitable efforts
and assistance he gave to aspiring artists. (Google Brook Benton on THAT OLD
FEELING and learn why Sinatra had "Brook Benton Room"
in his mansion.)
Peace.
