"Be My Love" is a popular song with lyrics by Sammy Cahn and music by Nicholas Brodszky.
Published in 1950, it was written for Mario Lanza, who sang it with Kathryn Grayson in the 1950 movie The Toast of New Orleans.
He recorded it on June 27, 1950, with Ray Sinatra's orchestra.
[2] Lanza's 1950 recording of the song (released by RCA Victor Red Seal Records as catalog number 10-1561) was his first million-seller,[1] eventually selling over two million copies.
It eventually became so firmly linked to him that he wearied of it and resorted to spoofing it in private.
