Cilla Black's no. 1 hit from 1964 is an English version of an Italian song, 'Il Mio Mondo' recorded the previous year. It has a full-hearted melody, that starts out in the minor key and a lower tessitura - in this arrangement, shared between bass and lead - before soaring up into the part of the voice best suited to unalloyed declarations in the major key.
