The compositions by the crooners, such as Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole, constitute a glimpse into another world. It is not a look into the future departed, mind you, but it is a gaze into the distant past. There is something classical about these old tunes, they feel like your usual pop songs with orchestral backing. If you put the latter away, you could still bring those melodies into other genres. This may sound hilarious, yet I am certain that if they were covered in the rock idiom, you would be surprised at how much they would work within it. I mean, some of them are still covered, such as this one. I am presenting it in the version by Tony Bennett, who I feel is one of the most underapprecaited singers of his period. Sure, he is known, but I think he is not seen as the equal of Sinatra and others, even though his discography is filled with a lot of musical gifts.

"Here in My Heart" is a popular song, written by Pat Genaro, Lou Levinson, and Bill Borrelli and published in 1952.

A recording of the song by Al Martino made history as the first No1 on the UK Singles Chart, on 14 November 1952. "Here in My Heart" remained in the top position for 9 weeks in the UK, setting a record for the longest consecutive run at No1 (a record which, over 50 years on).

Other versions, recorded by Vic Damone, and Tony Bennett, were also recorded around the same time. A R&B version was also recorded that year, by Wini Brown and her Boy Friends. 

In 1961, Martino re-recorded the song, although it only reached No86 on the Billboard Top 100 chart. He had previously rerecorded the song in an unsuccessful rockaballad version for MGM's Cub label.

In 1963, Richard Harris performed this song in the film This Sporting Life, although he would not release his first album until four years later, with 1967's Camelot).

The independent UK drama movie was directed by Lindsay Anderson, with Richard Harris and Rachel Roberts.

Richard Harris was a genuine star of cinema on screen and a fiery hell raiser off screen, (born 1930 in Limerick, Ireland, to a farming family). He was was an excellent rugby player, with a strong passion for literature. Unfortunately, a bout of tuberculosis as a teenager ended his aspirations to a rugby career, but he became fascinated with the theater and skipped a local dance one night to attend a performance of "Henry IV". He was hooked and went on to learn his craft at The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, then spent several years in stage productions.

Το "Here in My Heart" είναι ένα διάσημο τραγούδι του 1952, γραμμένο από τους Pat Genaro, Lou Levinson, και  Bill Borrelli.

Η ηχογράφησή του από τον Al Martino έγραψε ιστορία ως το μακροβιότερο Νο1 στα UK Singles Chart, (από τις 14 Νοεμ. 1952 παρέμεινε στην 1η θέση για 9 εβδομάδες, ρεκόρ που έσπασε μετά από 50 χρόνια).

Την ίδια περίοδο υπήρξαν άλλες εκτελέσεις από τον Vic Damone και τον Tony Bennett. Μία R&B έκδοση ηχογραφήθηκε το ίδιο έτος, από την Wini Brown and her Boy Friends. 

Το 1961, ο Martino ξανα-ηχογραφεί το τραγούδι, που πήγε όμως μόνον στο Νο86 του Billboard chart Top 100. Το είχε επίσης πριν ηχογραφήσει ως μια αποτυχημένη rockaballad έκδοση για την ετικέτα Cub της MGM.

Το 1963, ο Richard Harris το τραγούδησε στην ταινία This Sporting Life, (4 χρόνια πριν κυκλοφορήσει το πρώτο του άλμπουμ Camelot το 1967).

Η ανεξάρτητης παραγωγής αγγλική δραματική ταινία σκηνοθετήθηκε από τον  Lindsay Anderson, με τους Richard Harris και Rachel Roberts. 

O Richard Harris ήταν ένα γνήσιο αστέρι στην οθόνη και ένας «φλογερός ταραξίας» εκτός οθόνης (γεν. το 1930 στο Λίμερικ, της Ιρλανδίας, από μια αγροτική οικογένεια). Ήταν εξαιρετικός παίκτης του ράγκμπι, με έντονο πάθος για τη λογοτεχνία. Δυστυχώς, ο αγώνας της φυματίωσης στην εφηβεία τερμάτισε τις φιλοδοξίες του για μια καριέρα στο ράγκμπι, αλλά γοητεύθηκε από το θέατρο και έχασε ένα βράδυ τον τοπικό χορό, μόνο για να παρακολουθήσει την παράσταση "Henry IV". Εθίστηκε, πήγε να μάθει την θεατρική τέχνη στο The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, και στη συνέχεια πέρασε αρκετά χρόνια στο θέατρο.
