Happy is from 'Lady Sings The Blues' Sandra.

At the book launch we were lucky to meet up with a lovely lady who recorded with Matt in the early days, June Marlow.
What singing group did June originally sing with?

Marian :D

Answer - GIGLIOLA CINQUETTI - This girl and the song were deserving of First Place ( English Version - "This Is My Prayer") 49 Votes to 19 Votes for Matt's Version of "I Love the Little Things"......
Check out "You Tube" to see her sing this same song in 2009...Still great after 45 Years!!
Also her hit version of "Alle Porte del Sole" and arrangement was later recorded by Al Martino in 1974.....
The English Version was titled "To the Door of the Sun"--A mild hit for Al in the U.S.A.

QUESTION - Which rendition of a Hoagy Carmichael song by Matt was Hoagy's Favorite?
