- Notes:
~ Featuring a most
appealing melody and a very sentimental set of lyrics, "Scarlet Ribbons"
- came into the world in 1949 with a recording by Juanita Hall ( who played
Bloody Mary in
- "South Pacific" ). Harry Belafonte had a big-selling
recording of it in 1956. It was much beloved
- by cafe performers and folk
singers, because the story of the scarlet ribbons that appeared on the
- little girl's bed in answer to her prayers never failed to move audiences.
And when the singer is
- Perry Como, the song becomes an extra treat , because
Perry sings it slowly and sweetly, and
- holds those whole notes beautifully ,
as only he can.

Incomparable Como" Readers Digest UK compilation 1975 )
