This was a huge hit in 1953. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsg73N0eUZk&feature=em-share_video_user
I remember my father singing this all the time.
Julius, born in Brooklyn (most thought he was from Italy) joined the Navy when he was 17, sang at officerss' clubs and bars for free drinks.
He once said the reason he sang was he was very egotistical (like a lot of Italians) but felt so good when he was singing and hoped others liked it.
Julius passed away May 12th 2016. He was 86. He and his wife of over 40 years lived in Crivitz, Wisconsin (population 9834). She predeceased him.
Not sure, but I seem to remember this song was sung at a wedding in the "Godfather" movie.
Joe
