Al Martino was one of the pop singers who could really sing.

He was popular in a time when people didn't always judge musical styles through their own lifestyle--

I can't help remembering, in those lost days of the 60's, a good friend, who was also president of the local SDS chapter, once saying, "I like Dylan, and Phil Ochs, but my favorite singer is Al Martino." And people agreed with him--

Interesting M.Ted, and how true.
I was about 8 or 9 when my peers were speaking of him. I listened and heard a beautiful voice.

When I read the news I sang Here in my Heart all through for S, I still know all the words. As the man said, an excellent singer.
