Bali Ha'i

~ Recording by Ezio Pinza

Annotation

Some LP versions feature a track of Ezio Pinza singing "Bali Ha'i", but he did not sing it in the stage version; nor was it written for his character, Emile. "Loneliness of Evening" and "My Girl Back Home" were recorded by Mary Martin, backed by Percy Faith's Orchestra, and released as a single in 1951. On some later CD versions of the cast album these two songs are included as bonus tracks along with Pinza's "Bali Ha'i".
