In addition to the singing of the Popular Dick Poweit, the catchy aits of Warren and Dubin are ably presented by three groups of vado Favourites, the Four Mills Brothers, Ted FinRito with his nationally famed orchestra, and the Canova Family.
"Lonely Gondolier" is a plaintive inelody which Powell sings in both English and Italian and he also Her sings the lilting "Rose Ic Hair" in both languages,
Outside of You" and "You Cao Be Kissed" are two other Warren and Dabin songs headed for "best sellers" divisions, and The Cow and. The Pig and The Duck" is already being hailed as an out- stending kiddie song.
