The Fontane Sisters - Chanson D’Amour (Song of Love) (1958)

Charted at #12 on Billboard Hot 100 in April 1958. With the Billy Vaughn Orchestra. Original Billboard review: “This is the strongest by the trio in awhile. It’s a cover of the Art and Dotty Todd version on Era. The contagious theme with a catchy lyric phrase is handled well by the girls. This could step out.“ Other charting versions: #6 on the Hot 100 for Art and Dotty Todd in April 1958 (#9 R&B), #112 for the Lettermen in November 1966 (#8 Adult Contemporary), #28 Adult Contemporary for the Gunter Kallmann Chorus in 1967 and #16 Adult Contemporary for the Manhattan Transfer in February 1977 (#1 UK).
