So sorry to hear this sad news. Al di La is indeed a beautiful song. I remember the movie Roman Holiday with Suzanne Pleshette and Troy Donahue. Very romantic for a young girl in 1962. Rest in peace, Jerry.

Oh wow... I love Jerry Vale - he was my first crush...I was around 8 or 9 and he performed on The Mike Douglas Show. I have always loved men with gray white hair...I found him so handsome and I loved his voice.

His song ""Pretend You Don't See Her"" was played in the girlfriend scenes in Good Fellas

Love is a Many Splendored Thing

Because

Don't You Know

Pretend You Don't See Her

Return To Me

I grew up hearing Jerry Vale on my mother's hi-fi. His voice was so pure, pitch perfect. Few of today's singers have that gift.

Oh wow.

I just saw him the other night in ""Goodfellas"" and was wondering whatever happened to him.

RIP.

This song always makes me tear up - from the film with William Holden and Jennifer Jones.

I too love that movie. (it was on recently) Jennifer Jones was my father's favorite actress. I love all those hokey love stories from the 1950's and early 1960's. I remember my parents going to see them at the movies.
