Mario Lanza - Lady of Spain - Gordeyeva and Grinkov

Mario Lanza's incredible voice, combined with a video of champion ice skaters Yekaterina Gordeyeva and Sergei Grinkov skating, produce an exciting musical and visual experience. This video marries the perfection of Lanza's voice with the perfection of Godeyeva and Grinkov's ice skating. Godeyeva and Grinkov were originally actually skating to "Flamenco" at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics. Their performance won them a gold-medal.

Mario Lanza sings "Lady of Spain" with such enthusiasm that he excites your heart. Long may his legacy live through his movies, his many recordings, videos on YouTube and through other media outlets. His voice may never be equaled. Hedda Hopper, well-known gossip columnist, believed that "there had never been anyone like Mario, and I doubt whether we shall ever see his like again."

The composer of "Lady of Spain" was "Tolchard Evans, who was one of Britain's most successful songwriters of the 1930s; among his hits were Lady Of Spain (with Erell Reaves, 1931)...". Quotation from: http://www.fredgodfreysongs.ca/Collaborators/tolchard_evans.htm
