I am looking for any tv appearances of the American singer Al Martino (he played Johnny Fontaine in The Godfather). I know he did a few appearances in the 70's and 90's, just wondered if anyone can help.

Yes, that's correct. Still going strong at the age of 81. Seen him 5 times in concert.
Al Martino is significant in Pop history (and I should know) as he was the first artist to reach #1 in the British chart used from 1952 until recently. The song was called Here In My Heart. I think music sales prior to this were from the sheet music. Of course, Spanish Eyes is a real classic, recorded years before it was a hit here, but I also love Mary In The Morning. Quite a few of his songs are on the Lifetime Of Romance collection.
Yes, there are lots of cd's of Al's about, Only one official dvd though, recorded in 1976.
I have this TV show featuring Al:-
The Des O'Connor Show (ATV 1970) With guests Lonnie Donegan, Al Martino, Phylis Diller, Mireille Mathieu, Valerie Leon, Johnny Vyvian. Broadcast 18th July 1970. No timecode.
I have this one Crunchie, (Think I could have got it from yourself). Thanks for replying anyhow. I know he was definitely on a Pebble Mill show in '92. And also with Richard and Judy from around the same time.
Just wondering if anyone has come accross any more video footage of Al Martino?
