One Random Single a Day #108: “Tzena, Tzena, Tzena” (1950) by Vic Damone
Yet another single where no image of the record sleeve, album art, or record itself are satisfying (or even exist online), so I must default to an image of the artist himself. It’s not worth much fuss, though. Vic Damone … Continue reading
