Fifty years ago in 1973, Perry had a huge hit with his rendition of Don Mc Lean's "And I Love You So." Across the pond, it was an enormous hit for Perry. In the UK it went to #3 on their singles chart, and in Ireland it went to #2 on their record charts. He had similar good fortune in the USA--#1 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart. And Como's recording of And I Love You So got a Grammy nomination for 1973 Best Male Vocal.
I was going to post his splendid hit version of the song, but then I came across Ann Margaret introducing Perry and guitar legend Chet Atkins performing this song. Wow! All three were entertainment giants--that's for sure.
