Only You (2:29)
From 100 All Time Greatest Hits and 8 other releases
In 1959, Franck Pourcel releases » Only You », 2 years after the fantastic success of the title by The Platters. But arranging it « à la Franck Pourcel » he gave it a second youth.
All my life I’ll remember my father and me arriving at Capitol Tower, a mythic place in Hollywood,. The song was played all day long inside the building, but the record had a tiny distortion. He was furious, and I thought that he was going to have a nervous breakdown, until someone told him that he was going to have a big hit; he would sell more than 3 millions copies, be on the Billboard charts for 16 weeks, and become the first European orchestra leader to sell more than 1 million records in the US.
