Subject: 1950: The Year in Music
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/04/15 at 1:36 am
"No Other Love" is a popular song from 1950, recorded by Jo Stafford with the Paul Weston orchestra backing her (released by Capitol Records as catalogue number 105), reached #10 on the Billboard charts in 1950. The piano artistry of George Greeley is also credited on the recording. The words were written by Bob Russell. The music is credited to Paul Weston (Jo Stafford's husband) but is actually derived from Frédéric Chopin's Étude No. 3 in E, Op. 10, and is practically identical to that of the song "Tristesse," a 1939 hit for French singer-actor Tino Rossi.
It should not be confused with "No Other Love", written and composed by Broadway team Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Released in 1950, "Mambo No. 5" is a mambo and jive dance song originally recorded and composed by Cuban Dámaso Pérez Prado. The song's popularity was renewed by German artist Lou Bega's sampling and vocal version of the original, released under the same name on Bega's 1999 debut album A Little Bit of Mambo.

"The Loveliest Night of the Year" is a popular song. The music was first published as a waltz called "Sobre las olas" ("Over the Waves") in 1888, written by Juventino P. Rosas. In 1950, the music was adapted by Irving Aaronson with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster for the movie The Great Caruso, in which it was sung by Ann Blyth. Later, Mario Lanza recorded the song. It became one of the most popular songs of 1951, reaching number three in the US Billboard Charts. Lanza received his third Gold Disc for this song.
