Some Enchanted Evening

Recalling the moment when he first saw Nellie just two weeks before, Emile plainly expresses his love for her in this stunning ballad, which would go on to become an American standard.

“Some Enchanted Evening,” sung by Ezio Pinza on the original 1949 Broadway cast recording, was also recorded by Perry Como, whose popular single soared to number one on the charts that same year. Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford and Bing Crosby also released recordings of the song in 1949. Later, cover versions by Barbra Streisand (1993) and Bob Dylan (2015) would also reach #1. Through the decades, the song has been recorded by an illustrious roster of singers, including The Temptations, Jay and the Americans, Art Garfunkel, Bernadette Peters, Andy Williams, Willie Nelson, Harry Connick Jr. and many more.
