“Venus” is one of the most popular songs of the fifties, written by Ed Marshall and Peter DeAngelis. The best-known recording of the song by right belongs to the former teen idol Frankie Avalon who released the single in 1959. The song represents a plea to the goddess of beauty and love Venus: the man is begging to send him a girl he would love. “Venus” became Frankie Avalon’s most successful hit, it reached No.1 on Billboard Hot 100 and was ranked by it ‘number four of the year’. Among other covers of “Venus” there are versions by Dickie Valentine, Barry Manilow, as well as Brad Pitt and Edward Norton’s recording for the “Fight Club”.

Was für ein wunderbarer Oldie! Habe das Lied in vielen Filmen gehört und es gibt verschiedenste Covers des Songs und soviel ich weiß auch deutsche Version des Textes und Gesangs. Aber die Version mit der schönen Stimme von Frankie Avalon ist für mich natürlich die beste.

Someone please take me back to the time where I could hear Frankie live! And no, I'm a guy, not a woman. ) I do admire his fine voice, a true classic
