I am 93 my wife 91 some years ago we were traveling with friends. We stopped at a diner and one friend put Spanish eyes on the. Jukebox. Though we had never heard of Al Martino or Spanish. Eyes it soon became out favorite tune to dance to. Some time after the man who wrote this song Eddie Snyder moved into the house next to us. For 12 years both Eddie and Spanish Eyes were our favorites. Dancing now is a little harder now but when we hear it played we try to dance again. One of the most beautiful songs ever written . Thank you Eddie!
I adore the images this great recording conjures up in the mind. She must have been truly gorgeous.......
What an amazing history. Holy smokes. Congratulations to both of you, all of you!
Most beautiful song ever
Hermosa canción! 🥰💖🎶🎵

This is real music. I feel sorry for those that don’t appreciate great music. You’ll never see this again
Linda -- My thoughts exactly.
we all feel sorry for you baby
@@tomtonge4237 but you're here listening and commenting which makes you pretty sad, at least own your tastes in music instead of making shitty comments to try to make yourself sound more with it, more like the younger generation which you clearly aren't a part of or you'd realise nobody cares what you like or dislike because it's more important to be yourself. Enjoy or more likely go find some other golden oldie to listen to and comment negatively to prop up your own ego.
@@poppaleggansquat3640 Well said.
@@1524dav thanks, some people aren't happy unless they're slapping others down. Keep enjoying anything that makes you happy and be lucky!
My Dad used to sing this to me when I was little,. He passed in 2021. I miss him❤
My Dad also died in 2021 - we had Al Martino's Spanish Eyes growing up too (on 8-track if I remember correctly).
A voice as smooth as velvet. Like all singers in the 60s&70s no gimmicks just pure talent .RIP Al my friend.
Absolutely !!!

Bravo
Beautiful powerful voice. Stunning performance and connection with the camera and studio audience.
Ah...the memory of Al Martino.
R.I.P ❤⚘⚘⚘
No one sings this song better than Al Martino.
How can you not like this type of music. I am in my 80s and still listen to it on a regular basis. Cheers from Scotland.
young kiwi kid (16) school social (prom) wow ,the girls had pleated dresses & they rustled! Hey Hey from New Zealand
This is very , very nice and LIVE singing ! I like Al Martino ! And yes , I have covered him ( on my own way ) A lot of greets , Arthur !

Grew up listening to these songs. Never gets old.
Never heard a better version. Effortless poetry, bravo.
My grandfather is getting old, and this is his favorite song. I am determined to learn it on the guitar and play it for him over the phone. 🥰
DON;T WAIT TOO
My father & mother in law had this at their funerals , they loved it . 💓

Hello from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪. My father is 86 he sings this song every single Sunday since 1981. He plays his oldies and it’s going to be played till the day I die.
Mm ake a search for this song "spanish eyes" with Tom Walle , from Norway 🇸🇯😀
Still love this in 2024, as I did then. Now 77 y/o. A big favorite of mine. ❤
Wow, the 50's and 60's songs are not what I imagined, truly something beautiful. I'm 18 and I wish my generation would listen to these and experience what I just heard. Thank You for being the best generation.
David Duran, maybe you could be the one to start that process.
I agree with you. Just one little comment: It's '50s and '60s music, NOT the way you wrote it. Apostrophes are NEVER used in plurals (except when pluralising certain units used in the sciences what would otherwise be confused with other units, for example, m for meters when pluralised would become ms, but ms is already taken and it means milliseconds, so to avoid confusion and apostrophe is inserted, thus making the plural for meters m's). The apostrophe is used only in two situations, normally: to signal that something has been omitted (as in '50s, where it replaces the missing 19), and to imply ownership (as in: my brother's car is blue).
@@xavieryates9782 Chur Mr X
@@xavieryates9782 I know, ...but, REALLY?
My children aged alike are actually switching to these songs as they keep hearing me listening!
Great Song! My dad was a professional musician who played for Al Martino and it was a pleasure as a young man to accompany my father during rehearsals and live concerts. It was and will always be memorable.
How nice!!!
What a voice p
Interesting- what was Al like face to face?
Wow, what an incredible experience that sounds like, very very special !
Over a half century has passed since this was recorded, and yet it sounds as magnificent today as then. Al Martino had a masterful voice and his rendition of this song is unparalleled.
Well said.
That's because it is !
Awesome music...enjoy it
👍
Try german version sung by Ivo Robic - Rot ist der Wein. Much better voice
DieserSong war der letzte Tanz auf unserer Hochzeit
A remarkable singer who didn't get the recognition he deserved. A true singer of ballads.
I totally agree with you Doc! He had class using his powerful voice to show it.
Best. To Shure
Here I go. Crying again
He had a lot of competition.
I mean, there were 4 or 5 Italians ahead of him
-Sinatra, Dino, Bennett, Como.
Not to mention a slew of non-Paisans.
Tons of talent in the 40s, 50s, and 60s.
@@wheelinthesky300
I would not place Martino anywhere but AHEAD of the
Italian heritage vocalists you mentioned, especially Sinatra, who was a much better actor than singer. You left out his greatest rivals, Jerry Vale and
Vic Damone! I rank them as equals. And last but not least, Mario Lanza!...who was actually an opera
singer who also sang
pop songs. He wasn't
a crooner like the others, but his powerful tenor voice was second to none.
He had no greater rival than Franco Bonisolli. Google his aria from Rigoletto by
Giuseppe Verdi on the you tube.
Peace to an obvious
fellow connoisseur of
great music.
My mom's favorite song, I miss her so much. 😓
Mine too😢
God bless you ❤
Ein zeitloser Klassiker, den unsere Nachkommen auch in 100 Jahren noch singen werden - aber nie wieder so klassisch wie Al Martino❤️Thanks Al !❤️
Sie haben vollkommen recht.
Mein schönstes Lied seit Jahrzehnten. Kann heute keiner mehr
Das wird es nie mehr geben!!
Grandpa who is soon to leave this world soon loves this song, reminds him of my grandma.. I cry every time, it's such a beautiful song.
Grigger Bless Yous ❤️⭐️🙏🏼
Oh! Bless you and your grandparents, dear. Mine are gone. I miss them every day of my life....😘
Well done al martino it couldn't be better you got a velvet voice
Don't cry, remember your Grandpa and what he feel hearing this song, he was happy, so be happy too.
I think that's what your Grandpa would want.
@@uweschreiber8226 god bless you. you have a very big heart and it will continue during your life.
Amazing he's got a full orchestra with a conductor backing him up and the main focus is on him and his talent, not a bunch of acrobats jumping around him with all kinds of light shows going on in the background. A singer's talent was the main focus of a performance in these days, not all the electronic gimmickry we see today.
A great many artists have covered this song, but this version will always be my favourite.
Nobody can sing it quite like Al Martino.
Yes it's Al Martino's song, others can only borrow it.
Wow. Played this at my father's funeral who was also from Romney Marsh, St Nicholas Road for 40 years, me lived there for 25 years, lovely place
Awesome...... Agreed!!! xx
Elvis covered this the closest in my opinion
My mum loved this song so much, i hope God plays it in heaven. Al Martino was pure raw talent.
His version is the best!
Einfach nur wunderschön, man muss das Lied geniessen. Das geht so richtig tief rein.Ein wunderbarer Sänger.🥰
Ich war beim Erscheinen 15. und geniesse es immer noch.😍
I am a 60' baby and this is 2023, and still listening 🎶 to these music one of my favourite songs of all time
Q gracioso eres ! jajaja un bb de 60 años ,,,, saludos desde España 🇪🇸

When I was younger this sort of music done nothing for me but as I’ve got older and listened I Love it
Yes Pal ,

They remind me of my parents, no longer here.. Great times n memories 👌
Totally agree, l feel the same.
He was in The Godfather as well. Does anyone remember?
A fantastic song performed by a truly talented artist with a great voice
Al Martino had a beautiful voice.
While in the Navy we spent some time in Naples and several other beautiful cities and in 1967 everywhere we visited they were playing this song.
It brings back some beautiful memories..

Papa played this song for mama each Sunday. Mama was from Spain. I keep the sweet memories. I play teh song each Sunday as a tribute to my parents.
Beautiful timeless song and beautiful and charming voice ❤
This was my Grandfather and Grandmothers song, If they were ever at a restaurant or something of that sort...they would get up and dance in front of everyone. My grandfather passed when I was 9, I never forgot the fact they danced when they heard it. Fast forward 23 years. My wedding day....I had a special surprise dance for my grandmother... it was this song, not a dry eye in the house. at the time she could barely walk but we danced. Turned out to be the last time she danced to this song. she passed 2 years later. its hard to hear this song but I love it. I'll always think of them when I hear this and I imagine them dancing in heaven.
Just absolutely fantastic.
Top, top notch 👍👍👍
"Spanish Eyes" by Al Martino is one of the greatest love songs of all time! Beautifully sung there by Al the original version... Great music!! Thanks for posting this video!
this is the best rendition of this song ive ever heard. just beautiful
What a voice. What a song. Go Al Martino!. You're great. A voice from a not-too-distant world to soothe us during our gnarly COVID days.
Immer wieder wunderschön zu hören
My Dear Dad's Favourite it will always turn back the years for me of my early childhood and my dear Dad
Cherished Memorable Memories ✨ 💖

WONDERFUL SADLY MISSED
#1
He Was such an entertainer.
Wonderful to see how audiences made an effort and dressed up for the occasion.
Those were the good old days when people dressed on sundays more formally.Now they go even in a theater in blue jeans.Somehow a loss. AS KIDS WE DIDN'T REALLY LIKE IT BECAUSE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO SPARE OUR GOOD CLOATHES FROM GETTING DIRTY.
BeAutiful Song! ❤️🥰 I grew up listening to your songs from my mom!! 😊😍
This was dedicated to me many years ago beautiful song 💕💕
What a great song and performance,
Beautiful warm voice. He was one of the great ones.
Truly...THE BEST version of this song, ever!
Wow! And . . . WOW!
What an incredibly powerful voice. One of the best renditions of this song! Al Martino is one of the great singers of all time!
It's the end of 2019. I'm 19. This tune is evergreen, filled with feelings every generation can understand, accept and enjoy in. Kisses from Serbia!
Hello from Texas. Music is international and ageless. I am 73. I pray always for your part of the world to be at peace. And for the beautiful Balkan people to ALL be at peace. 🌹
@@robinholbrook6576 Thank you very much! People from South-Eastern Europe have moved on from war time and we live peacefully today. 🙏 for the whole world
Einfach nur wunderschön, man muss das Lied geniessen. Das geht so richtig tief ins Herz. Ich habe 3 Konzerte von ihm besucht, jedesmal ein großes Erlebnis🥰
It's so nice to hear and see a great song sung by a great singer, and without that miserable lip sync. Perfection!
Agreed. Real music and real artists are both dead.
Zufällig "entdeckte" ich das wunderschöne Lied "blue spanish eyes", gesungen vom unvergesslichen AL MARTINO. Ich kenne dieses sehr gefühlvolle Lied seit meiner Jugendzeit in den 60er-Jahren:
Al Martino is a fantastic singer, makes me feel young again, I respect those who can carry a toon to make you feel good inside
Tune**
Grammar police at work.
Wunderschön gesungen mit viel Gefühl, höre es immer gern
This takes me back to the early 70's and a little sewing job I had at Trutex in Blackburn Lancashire sewing school shirts, blouses and clothes.. Friday early finsish at 1pm and all morning the cutting room would play records over the tannoy. Great atmosphere and comaraderie. This was one of our favourites,. I can still remember some of the people. Wonder where they are today ? Happy days.
Lynda Burns, nice story. Thanks for sharing.
How are you doing today lynda?
Great song Al Martino. Your song will continue to be enjoyed by all generations!
What a voice. Beautiful. ❤
1967 when I got married, Al Martino was one of our Favourite
Beautiful song 🎵 and lyrics ❤JJ❤💋
I’m 23 and how many people my age can say they’ve listened to Al Martino on a record player. ❤️ now that’s classic
Always the best version.
Dedicated to my mother! One of her favorite songs. Miss her!
Live pure class voice. This will never go out of fashion. When Men used to woe their ladies & treated them like no one else was in the room. Thank You Al Martino.
Pure Class ... It will never grow old , a remarkable voice and a true gentleman
Always loved this one. He is the best! A true pro with a great voice!
Classic singer we were spoilt for great performers in this era We took them for granted
One of my favourite singers. What a gorgeous voice. What a Legend.
Einfach großartig gesungen von Al Martino ! BRAVO !
A pop singer with the
voice and stage presence, the moves
and finesse, of an opera singer! Wish I had met this wonderful man! A voice to die for!
A man to admired for
ALL TIME!
I agree, Milton. Thank you!
@@ruthboykin9873 Wow!

A Legend
A Legendary Classic Of All Time for me personally
Thank you ever so much for sharing 👑✨💖
My Mom's favourite song, she died from stomach cancer in 2007. I grew hearing this most Sunday's at dinner time. This song more than any other made me fall in love with creative artists, musicians, and writers who wrote about lost love and intrigue such as Nick Cave, Marc Almond, Henry Miller etc... And forever grateful. Merry xmas Mom, and thank you
So sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad to cancer 2015
My mom's favorite song too. She'd cry every time she heard it. My mom was Mexican
My Mother's favorite too... She passed away in 1971 at the age of 37. She would listen to it on our RCA record player, over and over...

This was my mum's favourite song and my mum wanted it played at her funeral.
Englebert Humperdink did the honours that day as happily I had his cd.
Miss you mum. 😥
Blue Spanish eyes
Teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes
Please, please don't cry
This is just adios and not goodbye
Soon I'll return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say, "Sí, sí"
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
Blue Spanish eyes
Prettiest eyes in all of Mexico
True Spanish eyes
Please smile for me once more before I go
Soon I will return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say, "Sí, sí"
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me

Oh, the confidence! He just comes straight out with it. Perfect pitch, phrasing and mike technique.
At my best friend's wedding in 1999, his father who was born in the USA and his mother who was born in Germany, danced to this song at his reception, even though divorced and each had remarried; I was mesmerized by the song and couldn't shake the feeling that they still loved one another. It is a beautiful memory of the first time I heard this beautiful song!
Absolutely wonderful. My parent’s song. Miss you Dad x
What an unforgettable performance !!
Just returned from Benidorm this morning. The lyrics are so true! It is adios and not goodbye. And soon I will return! 🌞😎
Al Martino truly an accomplished performer.
A class act indeed.
Very good vocal technique. Easily one of the top singers in popular music ever.
I'm 64 and find this music nice to listen to
My Spanish eyes are patiently waiting to see my husband again. He passed in 2013. My Spanish eyes are saying si si and are waiting for him!
Carmen Velez you will see each other again Carmen x
