vid: tonight you belong to me

My favorite version of one of my favorite songs. Most people my age know this tune from Steve Martin's amazing movie, The Jerk. But the 1956 hit version by Patience & Prudence remains my favorite. I got addicted to P&P via mixtapes (remember those) made for me by my pal Tommy Ardolino. The habit has stuck. They made about ten singles, but this -- and its flipside, "A Smile And A Ribbon" -- is the pinnacle of their authentically sweet sound. It is said this, along with Julie London's "Cry me A River" and David Seville's "The Chipmunk Song" (same core band as on P&P on that one, by the way, and same bassist, Ray Leatherwood, on all three singles) steadied Liberty Records' then-shaky fortunes.
