The song itself originally dates from the 1934 film Dames, where it was introduced by Dick Powell. The Flamingos version is, of course, one of the great late doo-wop classics. As for Artie's take, which hit Number One in the UK, I must confess that I'm not much of a fan of his solo work, but this particular track is really nice.

I've loved Art's version since day one. Gorgeous. And like you, not a big fan of his solo work, but most of the "Breakaway" album is pretty terrific.
I will always believe that Simon & Garfunkel split up because Paul Simon could never sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" as exquisitely as Art Garfunkel did.
