"That's Amore" is a 1953 song by composer Harry Warren[1] and lyricist Jack Brooks.[1] It became a major hit and signature song for Dean Martin in 1953. Amore (pronounced [aˈmoːre]) means "love" in Italian.I remember seeing that movie when it was first shown in the theater. The song was very popular. I remember hearing it played on radio a lot back then.The song first appeared in the soundtrack of the Martin and Lewis comedy film The Caddy, released by Paramount Pictures on August 10, 1953. In the film, the song is performed mainly by Dean Martin, with Jerry Lewis joining in and then followed by the other characters in the scene. It received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Song of that year, but it lost to "Secret Love" from Calamity Jane starring Doris Day.[1]
I did some internet research, and humbly report I found that Perry Como was one of the only Italian singers of the early 50’s that did not cover “That’s Amore.”
Thanks, guys.
