Hi Mike,

I found this scan:

How do we know it's Bixio/Cherubini song?

hi there,

most "American" releases don't aknowledge the original Italian composers.

but I dit found this (although with different release number):

Mike Dennis.

K12878 is indeed the English version of the Bixisong. On another Mama-record by Connie Francis with Orchestra conducted by Tony Osborne, the credits are Barlow-Brito-Bixio (see attachment)

Do you have a scan of the LP by any chance? Would be useful for me to add all songs at once.

No, I never looked for that kind of music in the shops. So, no scan of Lp possible.

Can try to look after the covers on this album.

Italian Favorites

The scan of the LP credits Mama to Parsons/Turner/Bixio, which could indicate this is the English version. How can we verify this the Italian version?

Listening to the version from Sings Italian Favourites this is partly in English and Italian. It starts off in English, continues in Italian and goes back to English again, maybe 50-50 both languages.
