What a beautiful voice Al Martino has. I’d love to know what he’s doing these days.

At 82, Martino continues to tour and perform. "I’m just as busy now as I was 10 years ago," says the crooner, who had numerous Top 40 hits, such as "Spanish Eyes," on the Billboard charts in the 1960s and ’70s. He cites his career highlight as playing at Queen Elizabeth’s coronation and sitting beside Winston Churchill afterward. Martino is known as well for his role of singer-actor Johnny Fontane in the movies The Godfather and The Godfather: Part III.
