14th August, 1953 (1 Week)
The second song to hit Number 1, temporarily interrupting Frankie Laine was the mononymous Mantovani & his Orchestra.
And now for something a little bit different, as they say:
The song originally appeared in the 1952 film 'Moulin Rouge' starring José Ferrer and Zsa Zsa Gabor, sung by Muriel Smith with Gabor lip-synching - though it would be Mantovani's version that would score the biggest chart success in the UK.
