Subject: RE: Common Italian Folk Song help (Funiculi/la)
At risk of giving more info than you want--Rossi sang the song(and made it popular) in the 1937 film "Naples au Baiser de Feu" which was released in the US simply as "The Kiss of Fire"--It had some other great songs in it, as well-- Tarentella (in italian) - Ecoutez les mandolines - Mia Piccolina - Rien qu'un chant d'amour - O Sole Mio - Catari, Catari (Core'n grato) - Santa Lucia (in neopolitan) - Marechiare (neopolitan) - Mandolina al chiar di Luna (neopolitan)--he sang in Italian, French, and Neopolitan, which makes sense, because he was Corsican--
