About Four Aces
from South Philadelphia, who had worked with the big bands of and before World War II, played piano when he could get near one, and sang in a powerful tenor. His newfound friend Dave Mahoney from Chester, a suburb of the city, played fine tenor sax and could also sang vocal parts. They promised each other they would work together at the end of the war and live from music.
Returning to Chester in 1956, Alberts and Mahoney enlisted the aid of record owner Marty Caruso who rounded up two more members: Rosario "Sod" Vaccaro, who sang baritone and played trumpet, and Louis Silvestri, drummer and bass voice. Silvestri belonged to a roller-skating club called 'The Aces', and the group took the name as their own. They rehearsed and polished old standards, versions of current pop tunes, and wrote some new material to play at local clubs and college dances.
Al Alberts left the Four Aces in 1958 and was replaced by Freddie Diodatti. Eventually, all the original members left the group and a new line-up was formed, consisting of Tony Alesi, Joe Giglio and Harry Heisler. In 1975, the declining health of Tony Alesi forced him to leave the band. He was replaced by Danny Colingo.
After a legal battle between the original and new members of the formation, the court allowed the founding members to tour as "The Original Four Aces Featuring Al Alberts

UNA MÚSICA PRECIOSA E INOLVIDABLE
es música que nunca pasara de moda....gracias por compartirlo....saludos amigo
I previously have only heard this sung by Frank Sinatra.
9 People didn't get blessed by the fountain.
Beautiful love song I had the opportunity to see the film this was theme of, when I was a teenager. I liked the story and the song is very good.
Thru my coins in the fountain so I will be back
Thanks for uploading this marvellous uplifting tune!
when u compare this to sinartra's or pat boone's version, they are as good.
Remember You.
I have seen the movie on TCM, I think. This song has been another song from the 50's that I have carried with me in my head.
Wonderful memories. The whole day sailing on the lake (Loosdrechtse plassen, the Netherlands), At night, sitting at the lake dreaming away with the Four Aces.
I love these old musical movies and the music that came from them. They don't make movies like that anymore, and I don't know what you call today's TV and movie entertainment, but I can live without much of it. Thanks for listening to this Four Aces song on 78 record...Friends, Lloyd.
The times have changed after the dawn of rock n' roll. I do like the older rock music, but not much from today's artists. Thanks for listening...Friends, Lloyd.
I was very young when I watched the movie. Maybe 10 or 11 years. I loved it and del in love of Jean Peters, well I think it was her. She was the one with Rossano Brazzi.
I agree 100%
