A kiss, (ooh, a kiss) so very tender
To me, (Marie), Marie, (Marie)?"

I trust that, my Dad was as well.
Virgo, "craftsmanship" to details. Most worthy.
That he did. Sinatra grasp the subject and amazed every vocal artist whom ever listened, with his technique.
Sinatra's Folks Managed my husband (we, the husband and I, are no longer under contract, but he remains a superb Vocal Artist) Tony Oppesadino and the late one and only Jilly.
Miss the Music and so many dear friends - was truly wonderful, Sinatra too. ❤

My father danced to this song with my mother back in the 1940s. I will dance it with my wife María this October when she celebrates her 50th wedding anniversary. At our Golden Weddings.
