The two highest ranked versions in Dave's Music Database are by Vic Dana and Kai Winding, so I've listed those two artists.

While that was a pretty big hit for Perry in 1956, I bet the 5,000,000 plays song is actually "More (Theme From "Mondo Cane")". The hit version was by Kai Winding in 1963. His record was titled just "More". The songs been covered by dozens of singers such as Ricky Nelson, Andy Williams and Ann-Margaret. It also charted for Steve Lawrence. I heard it on the air for decades after 1963. Perry's song, not once after 1956.larrydonlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431626373330823536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443292966174170672.post-425895096082449162021-10-30T05:58:03.262-05:002021-10-30T05:58:03.262-05:00Actually, I address that not only in the introduct...Actually, I address that not only in the introduction at the top of the page, but in one of the earlier comments.
