Does anyone know who the singer is on the song "I Wish You Love"? It's on when they're dancing, while the car is being stolen on the way to California..It's a male singing. I know the really old version by Keely Smith, and Sinatra nad Streisand as well. I've already googled it, but still don't know.
shareIt sounds like Nat "King" Cole. It's a beautiful song.
shareHi..I don't think it is..Pretty sure I'd recognize his voice...But maybe...Thanks
shareIt's Sinatra.
shareHi
I still don't think it's Sinatra. Just listened to his version on the album, It Might As Well Be Spring, and that's not it...But maybe he recorded it again on some other album?
It just doesn't sound like him at all to me in the movie..~smiles i love a mystery, so will keep ferreting. I'll have to rent the movie again.
That song in the movie is sung by Nat King Cole.
Slight thread-jack but: Sinatra sings the song they dance to in the road-side restaurant and reprises at the end. That one is called, "You and Me (We Wanted It All)" and every time I hear it, it seriously makes me cry. Such a sad song that perfectly mirrors the movie.

The Sinatra song only appears once in the movie, at the end.

It's not the only time that song is played. They dance to the song in the roadside cafe/bar.

Incorrect. During the movie they dance to Nat King COle's rendition of "I wish you love". At the end of the movie, the scene is replayed with Frank Sinatra singing while the credits play. Two totally different songs.

I know they dance to "I wish you love" when The Bink's car is stolen. I meant the bar they go to when they find Casey at Maria's house. They thought she was missing, but afterward, Albert convinces Lucy to go with him for a drink.
Let me know if I'm wrong.

You make no sense, first you said they danced to it at the roadside bar, now you are saying you did not mean that scene but the one bar scene right before they make love for the first time after their divorce. They do not dance in that second bar scene. In that sequence, the music that plays is a jazzy arrangement of the Richard Clyderman piano composition that plays earlier in the movie when they are traveling cross country, after she asks him to ride with her all the way to California.

Ahh, well maybe that's what I was thinking of. My apologies.

No need to apologize, just hoping all this helps clarify things.
Some movies have a truly special meaning to some of us, and to me this is one of them, being myself the product of a marriage between two people that at the end I wonder why they got married in the first place, since they were both extremely selfish and careless to me and to each other.
The ending is a true heartbreaker for me, since I always wished my parents would reconcile and be civil with each other like in the movie and I would walk with them into a restaurant and have a meal together, but hey, that that doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
I am being so corny right now, I am playing YOU AND ME (WE WANTED IT ALL) as I type this. If anyone wonders, the song is available in Frank Sinatra's PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE album that was released back in 1979. It is available for download as well on music sites.
What a crying shame that Carole Bayer Sager did not write the song originally for this movie, it would have been a sure bet for an Academy Award nomination.
Cheers.

I agree, it's very special to me as well. I love the song but find it very difficult to locate. Any chance you could send me the mp3 file?
If so, thanks: [email protected]

Both the song and the album are available for purchase almost everywhere downloads or albums are sold.
