For You Alone     RCA Records #49-3207

Described by Arturo Toscanini as “the greatest voice of the 20^th century”, Mario Lanza was born Alfredo Arnoldo Cocozza on January 31, 1921 in Philadelphia.    On 02/19/51, Mario Lanza remade the two rejected songs from the 8/26/50 recording session, “Because” and “For You Alone”.  Both the conductor and the location were changed and the end result was two approved recordings both done in one take.
