[@dodiho65]

I started dating my girlfriend-A Junior in December of 1964 as a Senior....these two songs had a great impact on our relationship because of the lyrics....especially "We Could"......we've been together since that December...married for over 45 years..I still get misty eyed from these songs...Thanks, Mr. Martino...for the love and memories...!

Al Martino? Arthur Prysock? Ol' Dick Clark had some musical range! Of course, this was back in the day when a good Pop, MOR or Easy Listening tune could break onto the Billboard Hot 100 and thrive. Remember "Everybody Loves Somebody"... #1 in 1964? There was so much music crossover that Billboard didn't publish a R&B Top 50 chart for 15 months (12/63 to 4/65)...all the good R&B went straight to the Hot 100.

We Could is a favorite of mine for years. Al is not as well-known these days as he rightly should be. KZbin is fixing that!

What a delight - getting my two favourite Al Martino songs on the same video. Thanks for posting.

We Could was arguably one of Jasper Cini's finest moments. It hit at just the right time, with the musical landscape of November 1964 being blessed with a richly diverse selection of singles by everyone from the Dave Clark Five, the Detergents and Lee Rogers to the Exports, the Larks and Nella Dodds. Arguably one of his five best singles overall.
