1953 HITS ARCHIVE: The Song From Moulin Rouge - Percy Faith & Felicia Sanders (a #1 record)

Details

Description

The Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart) (Engvick-Auric) by Percy Faith & his Orchestra, featuring Felicia Sanders

Hugely popular Faith recording of the John Huston movie theme: that other-worldly intro, followed by one-half gorgeously-lush instrumental, second-half emotionally-charged Felicia Sanders vocal. It spent a long 10 weeks atop the best-seller listings with the song itself at #1 on Your Hit Parade for 8 weeks. See also the all-instrumental Mantovani version of “Moulin Rouge” and the Percy Faith flip side “Swedish Rhapsody.”

Faith would subsequently record two all-instrumental versions: a longer arrangement for the 1953 album "Music In Hollywood" ( https://youtu.be/yETK7budL0I ) and a stereo track for his 1960 "Bouquet" LP ( https://youtu.be/I_D9NBq_BqI ).
