Here in My Heart

"Here in My Heart" is a popular song, written by Pat Genaro, Lou Levinson, and Bill Borrelli, and published in 1952.

A recording of the song by Al Martino was a #1 hit on the Billboard chart. The Martino version also made history as the first number one on the British record charts, on 15 November 1952. Other versions, recorded by Vic Damone (reaching #8 on the Billboard chart), and Tony Bennett (reaching #15 on the chart), were also recorded around the same time. A rhythm and blues version was also recorded that year, by Wini Brown and Her Boy Friends. Mario Lanza had also planned to record this song, but changed his mind when asked to by Martino so his own recording wouldn't be neglected.

In 1961, Martino re-recorded the song, although it only reached #86 on the Billboard chart.

In 1963, Richard Harris performed this song in the film "This Sporting Life", although he would not release his first official album until four years later, with 1967's "Camelot".
