Perry Como Live - Once Upon a Time

Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall. November 28, 1962. With Mitchell Ayers' Orchestra. "Bye, Bye, Birdie" and "It's a Bird — It's a Plane — It's Superman!" are among the Broadway shows of Lee Adams and Charles Strouse. The two also had a brief entry on the Great White Way titled "All American", and though it came and went without making much of a ripple in the season of 1962, "Once Upon a Time", the love song from the show, remained behind. Unlike the Adams-Strouse hits "Put On a Happy Face" and "I Want To Be with You", it is a sad and poignant reminiscence of all the things that happened or might have happened in the long ago.
