That's Amore is great but been listening to 1948 and a big hit was Doris Day's "It's Magic" and it feels like "That's Amore" is now a bit of a rip off...
Wow- not "a bit" of a rip off- just a rip off.

I was going to say that this should be remade as a gay anthem (listen to the lyrics), but most gay kids these days don’t keep their sexuality a secret, and don’t largely need to “come out” anymore.

Jo Stafford is a Pete 2021 new-to-him artist pick. What a great voice -- what great phrasing.
