Profoundly beautiful. Some people can’t find the presence of God anywhere. I find it all over the place. A performance like this by an angel like her - how can you hear that and still not know God exists?

That was a very special and moving treat. Thank you for sharing it with us. That was something.

That was a great performance of a great tune.

"Il Silenzio," based on the bugle call "Taps," was a huge hit for Nini Rosso throughout Europe in the fall of 1965, but it never charted in the US.

Halfway through the song, one can hear a male voice saying, "Buona notte amore, ti rivedrò nei miei sogni. Buona notte a te che sei lontano" (good night, my love. I'll see you in my dreams. Good night to you, so far away).

Nini Rosso's original hit is available here.
