Do you know a song with this melody ?




The music of this song was probably composed by Les Reed, probably in the second half of the 1960s.
Does anybody of you know the English title of this song?
Thank you.

Dear Taz,
Thank you very very much for your information.
So not Les Reed, but Antonio Carlos Jobim,
not the second half of the 60s but the first ...
Yes, I also found by arrangement that Engelbert Humperdinck was probably the model
for the Slovak recording from 1970.

P.S. Please forgive me my poor English. I am 69 years old, and I'm only self-taught (autodidact).

Your English is excellent, and I would never have guessed that you were self-taught ... that makes it that much more impressive. I'm just glad that others on this board and the previous one are able to help you with the songs you ask about. I always give them a listen, but even though they sometimes remind me of songs that I've heard, I've never been able to come up with the English-language originals for any of them. It shows just how knowledgeable people here are about oldies music.

mroldies, I always enjoy your posts when you ask for help identifying a song.  Try as I may, I have yet to be able to recognize one.  I am impressed by Taz.  Good job!

And mroldies, I agree with Lorne.  Your English is excellent!

mroldies, you're welcome, glad to be of service.  It was easy, I recognized it from the first few notes.  The challenge was remembering WHY I knew it.

Mom was a big Engelbert fan.
