Volare - Jane Morgan

Strictly speaking, the lead track of this EP is 'The day the rains came', as it's the first track on the A-side, but it's the second track on that side which I bought this record for: another cover version of Domenico Modugno's 'Volare'. And it's quite an interesting record, too: the label states 'not for sale', which I guess makes it a promotional EP.

Jane Morgan was born in Newton, Massachusetts (USA) on 3 May 1924 and initially found success in France and the UK before achieving recognition in the US, receiving six gold records. Her song 'The day the rains came' reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in early 1959. This EP features her version of 'Volare', sung in Italian and English. 

My collection: 7" single no. 6922
Found: Discogs.com, received 22 March 2023
Tracks: 'The day the rains came', 'Volare' / 'It's all in the game', 'Everybody loves a lover'
