The former Dino Crocetti was a fascinating guy, an ex-boxer with a brief stint in the army who became top box office material in three different fields, music, acting and comedy and cultivated a public persona that was completely at odds with the real guy.
Unfortunately that doesn't always translate to his records and "Kiss" is one of his duller efforts , recorded while his film partnership with Jerry Lewis was still going strong. . Dino took a while to find his own style and this is very much sub-Crosby crooning on a dreary ballad with a lush arrangement and some nice cocktail piano. He'd go on to make much better records than this.
