    a lovely girl, with a lovely voice, wearing a lovely dress, who somehow manages to be sexy and alluring without screeching ” oh baby, oh baby ” ad nauseum and rolling around on the floor. a lesson for every “singer” in the business today. and a lesson for the culture at large, i think.

    That is John Conte, an actor and singer (1915-2006) who hosted this show, “Mantovani,” a syndicated musical series which ran 39 episodes from – as davie12 nailed it – 1958 to 1959. Conte was no relation to Richard Conte, the actor who played Don Barzini in “The Godfather.”

    I’ve not heard the French version, but I’d love to. I agree that the German version is fantastic. Judging by the hairstyle and the frock, Shoemaker, I’d say that 1958/59 would be a fair guess of when this was broadcast.
