Frank Sinatra Sings “Three Coins In the Fountainâ€
-
Artist:
"Three Coins In The Fountain" was the big hit movie of 1954 with a title song written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Julie Styne, becoming part of the whole of this wonderful 1954 Academy Award winner. Frank Sinatra sang the title song on the soundtrack and subsequent recording and here repeats his performance with Nelson Riddle. The opening depicts the gushing of the Trevi Fountains with a Respighi-like swirling figure that washes all over the orchestra with great skill. The performances emerges as a nostalgically told tale, magically recalling a wonderfully fond memory. The instrumental break is unbelievably lush with that gentle flowing melodic gift that belonged to Riddle at his best.

Your description here is accurate and eloquent.
Spike,
Thanks for the note! Not too many people like this album which puzzles even me. The music is first-rate as always. I suppose it may have to do with people's attitudes. However, this song in particular is a great favorite and is one of FS's best and he sings like a lark. Glad you agreed!
Yours truly,
