Hello, Young Lovers (song)

Hello, Young Lovers (song)

"Hello, Young Lovers" is a show tune from the 1951 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, "The King and I." It is sung by Anna, the heroine, when she tells the wives of the King of Siam about her late husband, and sympathises with the plight of Tuptim, the Burmese slave girl.

Among versions popular in 1951 were ones by Perry Como and by Guy Lombardo (with vocal by Kenny Martin).

Bobby Darin also sang the piece, although he sped up the tempo so it was a much faster piece. It would also be covered by Frank Sinatra in a much slower tempo on his 1965 album "September of My Years". Marvin Gaye has a version that was unreleased, it appeared on the box set 'The Marvin Gaye Collection'. Paul Anka had a significant revival in 1960, in the swinging Bobby Darin style. Philip Quast also covered this song in his Live at the Donmar album.
