Ciao, Ciao bambina (ver. 1) by Jerry Vale - Piano Sheets and Free Sheet Music

Jerry Vale (born Gennaro Luigi Vitaliano, July 8, 1932, The Bronx, New York) is an American singer. In high school, in order to make some money, he took a job shining shoes in a barbershop in New York City. He sang while he shined shoes, and his boss liked the sound so well that he paid for music lessons for the boy. Enjoying the lessons, Vale started singing in high school musicals and at a local club. This led to additional club dates, including one that lasted for three years at a club in the suburb of Yonkers, New York, just north of the city. When Paul Insetta, (who was a road manager for Guy Mitchell and a hit songwriter) heard him there, he signed him to a management contract, changed his name, and further coached him. He then arranged for Vale to record some demonstration records of songs he'd written, and brought the demos to Columbia Records. Vale then signed a recording contract with Columbia Records, and Insetta managed him for many years. His version of the National Anthem, recorded in the late 1960s, was a fixture at sporting events for many years.
