The memory of all that; no, no they can't take that away from me

Another trouper bites the dust...

Farewell, then, to the man who Frank Sinatra described as having "the best set of pipes in the business" - the fantabulosa Vic Damone, just about the last of the original great crooners [there's only Tony Bennett left now...].

By way of a tribute (and Gershwin being most appropriate for "St Hallmark's Day"), here is the man himself at his showbiz best:

Vic Damone - Gershwin Medley: But Not For Me, Fascinatin' Rhythm and They Can't Take That Away From Me

RIP Vito Rocco Farinola (aka Vic Damone, 12th June 1928 - 11th February 2018)
