Heart of my Heart
I am looking for a song called "Heart of my Heart" by Alan Dale, Johnny Desmond and Don Cornell. When was that a hit and how big was it?
The song you want was actually called "The Gang That Sang 'Heart of My Heart'", it was the only hit by the trio you mentioned and none of them had enough hits on their own to be listed.
It reached number 10 in the Billboard chart (entering in Dec 1953 and running for 10 weeks), it peaked at 18 in the Billboard Jukebox chart (entering in Dec 1953 and running for 5 weeks) and number 5 in the Cashbox magazine chart (entering Nov 1953 and running for 23 weeks)
The song was also a slightly bigger hit for "Four Aces" (US 1940s 8 - Dec 1953 (16 weeks), US CashBox 5 - Dec 1953 (19 weeks), US Billboard 7 - Dec 1953 (18 weeks), US BB 19 of 1953, POP 19 of 1953) and a minor hit in the UK for Max Bygraves (entering in May 1954 peaking at number 7 and running for 8 weeks)
According to Wikipedia (which has a page about it) the song was originally written in 1926 by Ben Ryan and is about a popular song first performed in 1899

Four Aces song 1954
I've been trying for years to find the singing group of a song with the words: "Ask for love, to fill your heart with spring, to make your ....., to make you laugh and sing. You only have to ask, and it shall come to pass!"
Would you have a snippet of this music and song that I could listen to before I purchase it?
Thank you, Barbara in Indiana
We do not host any "snipets of music" at this site at all. You should try sites like iTunes and Amazon to get those.
In addition we can't find any song that has those lyrics.
