Released...Uploaded by ILoveJenni47 on Jul 5, 2009:<br /><br />Released on the 1963 album, "Moonlight Memories". <br /><br />Although Tony Williams had left the Platters by this time, the master of this recording was sent to him and he overdubbed the lead vocal to create a new Platters recording with his lead. <br /><br />He did this for several tracks on the album. This song was a hit for Les Brown and Doris Day in 1945.SENTIMENTAL JOURNEYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iKuOxIgyzQnoreply@blogger.com
