Casted as Bloody Mary in Broadway musical South Pacific. Even before the Original Cast album was cut, she recorded it with Salvatore Dell'Isola's orchestra. Song written in less than twenty minutes. More hits from that musical: A Wonderful Guy (Margaret Whiting), Bali Ha'i and Some Enchanted Evening (both for Perry Como).

Muriel Smith [overdubbing Juanita Hall in film-musical South Pacific; n°1 on the UK album charts for 115 weeks]
