Songs Of The 50s

From 1956

 

Tony Bennett

 

Let There Be Peace on Earth (1955)
Written by Jill Jackson-Miller and Sy Miller for the International Children's Choir

A nice arrangement, combined with the hymn, "I've Got Peace Like a River." Arranged and directed by Katie Houts.

 

Was 16 when he died and was heartbroken, the greatest sound of the 50s better than all the others of that era except maybe Little Richard.

Beautiful what pure voices.

 

Remember this one, of course I liked Frank Sinatra the best singing this song but also liked Jimmy D.

Lloyd Price has a better version of this.

 

Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald also have terrific versions of the lovely song.
It's been around for a long time and is done in different eras.
