My Heart Cries for You
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"My Heart Cries for You" is a popular song, adapted by Carl Sigman and Percy Faith from an 18th century French melody.
It was recorded toward the end of 1950 by Guy Mitchell with Mitch Miller and his orchestra, in a recording issued by Columbia Records as catalog number 39067, which sold over a million copies and reached #2 on the Billboard charts in 1951.
The composition was also arranged and recorded by John Serry, Sr. and his ensemble for Dot Records (Catalog #DLP-3024) as a 33 RPM vinyl recording entitled Squeeze Play in 1956[1].
Other recordings were made by Vic Damone (a #4 hit on the Billboard charts) and Dinah Shore approximately the same time. A version by Connie Francis "bubbled under" the Billboard pop charts in 1967.
On his 2005 "comeback" album, The Moon Was Blue, country singer Bobby Bare also recorded "My Heart Cries For You."
On her album "If Your Memory Serves You Well", Serena Ryder covers this, as well as many other classics.
