I am 93 my wife 91 some years ago we were traveling with friends. We stopped at a diner and one friend put Spanish eyes on the. Jukebox. Though we had never heard of Al Martino or Spanish. Eyes it soon became out favorite tune to dance to. Some time after the man who wrote this song Eddie Snyder moved into the house next to us. For 12 years both Eddie and Spanish Eyes were our favorites. Dancing now is a little harder now but when we hear it played we try to dance again. One of the most beautiful songs ever written . Thank you Eddie!

I agree with you. Just one little comment: It's '50s and '60s music, NOT the way you wrote it. Apostrophes are NEVER used in plurals (except when pluralising certain units used in the sciences what would otherwise be confused with other units, for example, m for meters when pluralised would become ms, but ms is already taken and it means milliseconds, so to avoid confusion and apostrophe is inserted, thus making the plural for meters m's). The apostrophe is used only in two situations, normally: to signal that something has been omitted (as in '50s, where it replaces the missing 19), and to imply ownership (as in: my brother's car is blue).

@@wheelinthesky300 I would not place Martino anywhere but AHEAD of the Italian heritage vocalists you mentioned, especially Sinatra, who was a much better actor than singer. You left out his greatest rivals, Jerry Vale and Vic Damone! I rank them as equals. And last but not least, Mario Lanza!...who was actually an opera singer who also sang pop songs. He wasn't a crooner like the others, but his powerful tenor voice was second to none. He had no greater rival than Franco Bonisolli. Google his aria from Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi on the you tube.

Amazing he's got a full orchestra with a conductor backing him up and the main focus is on him and his talent, not a bunch of acrobats jumping around him with all kinds of light shows going on in the background. A singer's talent was the main focus of a performance in these days, not all the electronic gimmickry we see today.

This was my Grandfather and Grandmothers song, If they were ever at a restaurant or something of that sort...they would get up and dance in front of everyone. My grandfather passed when I was 9, I never forgot the fact they danced when they heard it. Fast forward 23 years. My wedding day....I had a special surprise dance for my grandmother... it was this song, not a dry eye in the house. at the time she could barely walk but we danced. Turned out to be the last time she danced to this song. she passed 2 years later. its hard to hear this song but I love it.
