Contents 1 History 2 Notes 3 Further reading 4 External links History The song first appeared in the soundtrack of the Martin and Lewis comedy film The Caddy, released by Paramount Pictures on August 10, 1953. In the film, the song is performed mainly by Dean Martin, with Jerry Lewis joining in and then followed by the other characters in the scene. It received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Song of that year, but it lost to `` Secret Love '' from Calamity Jane starring Doris Day. The track that was used for the single released by Capitol Records was recorded on August 13, 1953, ( Session 3098 ; Master 11694 - 6 ), with the orchestra conducted by Dick Stabile, at Capitol Records ' studios at 5505 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, California. On November 7, 1953, Martin 's record of the song, with `` You 're the Right One '' ( which was recorded at the same session as `` That 's Amore '' ) on the flip side, peaked at # 2 on the Billboard charts. The song was kept from the # 1 spot when Les Paul and Mary Ford 's Capitol Records single `` Vaya Con Dios '' returned to the # 1 spot after being knocked out by Stan Freberg 's Capitol Records single `` St. George and the Dragonet '', which had been # 1 for the previous four weeks, after `` Vaya Con Dios '' had been # 1 for the nine previous weeks. The song remains closely identified with Dean Martin. That 's Amore was used as the title for a 2001 video retrospective of Martin 's career ; and his son, Ricci Martin, titled his 2002 biography That 's Amore : A Son Remembers Dean Martin. As an iconic song, `` That 's Amore '' remains a secondary signature song. Many artists have covered this song, including Alma Cogan, who sang it on the BBC radio programme Take It From Here on December 31, 1953, and Connie Francis, who sang an Italian adaptation of the song on her 1960 album More Italian Favorites. Dean 's daughter Deana Martin recorded her version of `` That 's Amore '' in 2006. The song was released on her album Memories Are Made of This in 2006 by Big Fish Records.
