Mario Lanza - Will You Remember - That Midnight Kiss

Mario Lanza's voice, photos of him with Kathryn Grayson from "That Midnight Kiss" film, and appropriate paintings by master artists, together make a lovely listening and visual experience.

The song, "Will You Remember", is from the 1937 film "Maytime" with Jeanette McDonald/Nelson Eddy.It is also from a 1917 Broadway musical.

The music composer was Sigmund Romberg.
"Sigmund Romberg (July 29, 1887 -- November 9, 1951) was a Hungarian-born American composer, best-known for his operettas."
"Romberg's adaptation of melodies by Franz Schubert for Blossom Time (1921, produced in the UK as Lilac Time) was a great success. He subsequently wrote his best-known operettas, The Student Prince (1924), The Desert Song (1926) and The New Moon (1928), which are in a style similar to the Viennese operettas of Franz Lehár. He also wrote Rosalie (1928) together with George Gershwin."

The song lyrics were written by Rida Johnson Young.
"Rida Johnson Young (February 28, 1875 -- May 8, 1926) was an American playwright, songwriter and librettist. In her career, Young wrote over thirty plays and musicals, and over 500 songs. She was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. Some of her best-known lyrics include "Mother Machree" from Barry of Ballymore, "Italian Street Song" and "I'm Falling in Love with Someone" from Naughty Marietta, and "Will You Remember?" from Maytime."
