Song of the Day: "Friendly Persuasion (Thee I Love)"

ARTIST: The Four Aces
TITLE: "Friendly Persuasion (Thee I Love)"
YEAR: 1956

Written for the 1956 film Friendly Persuasion, this song has been cut by many different artists, but it's the version by The Four Aces I know best. For whatever reason, this nice '50s love song has been in my head today. It's a good tune and worth hearing.

For the record, other popular versions include one by Pat Boone and an instrumental take by George Shearing. It's also been recorded by the likes of Johnny Mathis, Gladys Knight, and Tony Perkins.

I can't find anywhere to link to the version by The Four Aces, so enjoy a rendition by The Lettermen here.
