This dreamy doo-wop love ballad was featured in the wedding scene in GoodFellas, but I don't remember it. Cita, the writer, was the group's baritone as well as the pianist and arranger. The group began in 1953 and never had a big hit but lasted until 2014, somehow? The song carries a lot of romantic weight for its simplicity. "Will you take part in / My life / My love / That is my dream."
"A great song mutates, makes quantum leaps, turns up again like the prodigal son. It crosses genres. Could be punk rock, ragtime, folk-rock, or zydeco, and can be played in a lot of different styles, multiple styles... A great song is the sum of all things." - Bob Dylan
