Modern audiences know this song by another title.
"Volare". And Bobby Rydell's English language version is better known today.
But Domenico Modugno wrote the song. And, in 1958, it spent five weeks at #1 in the US, in THIS version, and was the biggest hit of 1958.. all while remaining faithful to its original Italiamn. To compare, Rydell's version hit #4 in 1960 - this was the bigger hit.
