''TO SPEND ONE NIGHT WITH YOU,  IN OUR OLD RENDEVOUS AND
REMINISCE WITH YOU...THAT'S MY DESIRE

so sang Frankie Laine, in fact, throughout his entire recording career.  The highest-charting version of the song was recorded by the Sammy Kaye orchestra in 1946, although a version of the song recorded by Frankie Laine has become better known over the years, being one of Laine's best known recordings. It has been recorded by many other singers, including a number of doo-wop groups. But Frankie would record it several times... HERE ARE JUST THREE OF THEM:
