As if reminding us of the golden era of teen symphonies weren’t enough, you also enrich our memories with the dramas which gave birth to the symphonies. This song is such a golden Doo Woo romantic standard and without your liner notes, I would never have guessed that it nearly fell into obscurity. Thank you, Miss Annie!
The only doo wop song to come out on 3 different labels and 3 different years ,1958 planet,1960 lost nite and 1961 on old town when it finally became a national hit peaking at number 3.
Oh that picture with all those C A P R I S spelled out vertically. I'm proud of all involved with this record. Every name, Italian, and my Paternal Grandparents were from Amalfi.
Interesting that this song bombed & was revived. Given the right kind of publicity, I feel it would have succeeded first time around. Wonder how many other great songs were lost.
As you know there are many more small indie labels than nationally available ones, so as you suggest, many worthy songs are lost before they can be heard by a wide audience. This was a unique, and to the benefit of the Capris, a fortuitous case where one individual saw the value of their song, touted it to friends and scraped together the necessary funds to buy song rights and further to incorporate a record label to showcase it. It didn't take long before an established label arranged to distribute "There's a Moon Out Tonight" beyond the NY Tri-State area.

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words!
Yes, this song is marvelous. Glad you liked the trivia.

Three times a charm. Quite a success story; too fictional for Hollywood.
Thanks for the compliment I always enjoy sharing my music knowledge with my fellow music aficionados.
@@stevevilinsky7464 You're welcome here. The mix changes constantly.
I’ll be around,thanks.
Jerry Greene had a good ear ! A Top 10 hit .. well worth the investment.
Greene's a legend because he's one of us: a compulsive collector of sounds.
Lost Nite was one of the best reissue labels!
