Ray Lourde - La Sposalizia / Per Sempre

A talented Italian American crooner in the mold of Dean Martin or Louis Prima, Ray Lourde's impressively muscular voice is on display with this rare single that was originally released in 1958 on the New York based Cleff-Tone Records label. "La Sposalizia" b/w "Per Sempre" (The Wedding/For Always), is a fine example of the genre with electric guitar, mandolins, and accordions in abundance, propelled by Ray's passionate, expressive voice.
