"It Must Be Him" is a popular song with music written by Gilbert Bécaud, originally with French lyrics by Maurice Vidalin. New English lyrics (and a new English title) were written by Mack David. The song was published in 1967. The best-selling version of the song was recorded that year by Vikki Carr, which reached number three on the U.S. pop chart and spent three weeks at number one on the easy listening chart. Carr went on to record it in Spanish and Italian, as well.

Vikki Carr‘s real name is Florencia Bisenta de Casillas-Martinez Cardona. I guess that name just wouldn’t fit on a 45.

I saw her singing this on TV and tears were streaming down her cheeks. When the song was finished the MC (was it Ed Sullivan?) went over to her and asked if she was all right.

Back when the charts were diverse only because there was great music of diverse types at the time. Brit Invasion, Garage/Psych, Motown, Pop, Bubblegum, even Country crossed over often.

We were so lucky to be young and having all that great music coming from our radio speakers...

Along with Flip Wilson and Soupy Sales.

Back when Americans loved America.

true, radio stations nowadays just don’t have that diversity in their formats.

And some stations, which advertise as being oldies stations, such as playing 70s 80s 90s, have very small Playlists. If you listen to a station for a few days, you will hear the same songs over and over.

I read that some such stations have playlists of about 600 songs. But if you look at old record charts, you will see that thousands of songs made the charts in those years. For whatever reason, programmers ignore the vast majority of popular songs, including some which were huge #1 hits.

It's funny, this long-forgotten song popped into my mind a couple of months ago, and I was able to listen to it immediately on YouTube.

What a strange song, utterly out of fashion today.

A similarly out-of-fashion sentiment is expressed in Petula Clark's Kiss Me Goodbye.

Funny how I got to thinking when was the last time I heard the name “Vicki Carr”, and then I remembered, she was referenced at the end of the classic SNL “The Sinatra Group”, as Steve Lawrence and Billy Idol are fighting, and Frank ends by saying....”Next week, the Grammy Awards. Where the hell is Vicki Carr’s album? Bye bye....... Keep the hands up, Steve.”
