This is when music was music...... Absolutely beautiful

The Four Aces , lovely voices and beautiful songs .❤❤❤❤

When music was beautiful and it lasted forever❤❤❤

Their rendition of this song is one of the greatest recordings of the 1950s.

I have come to that same conclusion.

The year was 1955. And I was in my first year of junior high. 7th grade. These guys ruled the radio and their voices and strong harmony made my heart ho into my throat. What a song! Dancing to it at our school dances. What a feeling...and memory that was.

When music was music. ❤

My all time favourite version. I have watched the film many times and will never tire of the music or the film.

I was 7 and this was my favorite song

What beautiful harmony ❤❤❤

I imagine my mom (born in '35) hearing this on the radio. I'm sure she was so happy when she first heard Elvis Presley in '56

Perfection!

This song was the second of two #1 Billboard Pop hits for The Four Aces featuring Al Alberts. It was their last Top Ten record.

Huge #1 hit and this appearance is right before the song debuted on the charts to start its spectacular run. I have a feeling these guys knew they had struck gold when they recorded this song and their delivery most certainly reflects that confidence.

My mother had this 45. Great song and film.

A classic

So beautiful, brings tears to my eyes! First heard this as a young teenager. Hope one day I can play this at my wedding!

The singers who sing this song does a wonderful job on it,it makes me think of the man who loves me, is far away in a job.

Das war noch Musiker der sich immer wieder gerne die Bilder und höre die Musik zu . Das war die beste Performance. In den 50er 60er Jahren egal ob black oder white beide gemacht nur schade dass damals zu viel Rassismus gegeben hat. Heute noch zum Teil

Music from another time where the melody was valued and revered. I would say that since the 80s we have been forgetting that the voice is the main, most powerful and most democratic musical instrument, and that vocal harmonies can sound as wonderfully good as this one and even more. I know that these words will sound like an anachronism, but nowadays anyone can become a successful singer, the levels of demand and vocal preparation have fallen to the ground and the potential audience buys whatever the producers want to sold, and the music has ended up becoming simple, minimalist and predictable...

Fantastic!

singing sure has changed since the good old days. hated this kind of music as a kid in the 60s but gained a whole new appreciation, doesn't hurt being a musician but taste wise I didn't get til now, too old to rock and roll too young to die🎙️

Such beautiful harmony! I also love the Lettermen's version of this song too. The Four Aces & The Lettermen were truly an end of an era. After them, it became "crazy" rock songs. TY for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.

A great song for the end of an era, when popular music became rock music. They did a great performance. Thanks for sharing!

Great cuartet of singers 👍🏻🐻🇲🇽

Ah, I'm so excited to see this! The Four Aces singing their Billboard number one hit "Love is a Many Splendored Thing". This is the original version, and the song was the theme for the 1955 movie of the same name starring William Holden and Jennifer Jones. Along with "Three Coins in the Fountain", this song provided the best-selling record for the Four Aces. The group members are lead singer Al Alberts, Lou Silvestri, Dave Mahoney and Rosario "Sod" Vaccaro. The song was written by Sammy Fain & Paul Francis Webster and proved to be so popular in 1955 that several competing versions also charted (by David Rose and His Orchestra, Don Cornell, Woody Herman and His Orchestra and Don, Dick and Jimmy). However, none were as successful as the original by the Four Aces. Thank you so much for posting this great performance! I love the rare footage of '50's singers performing their hit singles on the show! It would be great to also see more '50's and early '60's vocal groups like the Four Lads, the Four Preps, the Four Coins, the Fontane Sisters, the Chordettes, the Lettermen, the Brothers Four, the Browns, as well as more by the the Platters, the Ames Brothers and the Four Aces.

@@that70sgirl90 Yes, indeed! He hosted the talent show after his days of music stardom. The Four Aces were one of the most popular vocal groups of the '50's and inspired a lot of other groups with similar names (Four Lads, Four Preps, Four Coins, Four Freshmen, etc.). Al tried a solo music career for awhile but didn't recapture the success he had with the Aces. It's great to hear from you! I hope the month of May has been a good one for you so far!

Always loved the movie. ❤

Impressive. Talk about breath control! Can't say I like the slow-tempo, swing style, I much prefer the movie's straight-time, up-tempo version, but at least they sing it rhythmically, unlike Sinatra, Nat Cole, etc., who all rubato the life out of the melody.

Braaaaaaaaavaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

❤ it brilliant

I came to know the four aces from an fm radio, when radio ruled. Me born in 65 and living in Turkey. Still they would be bigger kings today than they were back then, say they played their songs more often, every now and then... All the best to them and lovers.

We got a really big shoe 👞 for you tonight!

They could sing and Al Alberts was a great lead singer. They all were in the Navy together

Fantastic but I could hear more voices. Were they behind the curtain!

The kisses couple in the movie..made fall in love with my dream girl.. arica. Chile

If it were not for the Four Aces, the Beatles would have never existed. Al Alberts became one of John Lennon's favorites as a kid when he was gifted this record on his 15th birthday.

, no if it wasnt for the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry Little Richard and Gene Vincent there would be no Beatles! And I dont think back in 57 when John and Paul had the skiffle band The Quarreymen, Silver Beatles, and also Johnny and the Moondogs, ever covered the Four Aces or sounded like them, but that is a cool story about john being gifted with this record.

​@@recordguy4321 it was the Four Aces who actually inspired all those guys. Buddy Holly first heard them in 1949 and this inspired him to start writing songs as a teen in Lubbock. It's amazing that the inspirational reach of Al Alberts touched both Buddy and John Lennon, who was also inspired by Buddy as well.

@@bubbaschwartz I think Elvis would have most likely enjoyed listening to the Four Aces. He had so many influences and different tastes in music. People keep saying he was influenced by black blues singers, but they never mention all the white groups and singers like Dean Martin. Elvis was a sponge and that's why he could sing any type of song, and in most cases, sing it better than the original singer.

I met Al Alberts years ago. There are points here where they’re singing so loud the stage microphone almost explodes!

Just curious--did Ray Bloch have a chorus at his disposal for numbers like this?
