is the original title. This song was commissioned from Leoncavallo by the Gramophone Company around 1904.

Lots of melodies first written by classical composers were written again by popular song writers.
The song was composed again in 1949, this time by Genaro and Skylar.
It was the first big hit record for young Vic Damone on Mercury label in 1949.
I have a version by Victor Silvester and his ballroom orchestra, Columbia FB 3530, CA 21232-1.
The label contains the following information
You're Breaking My Heart

Не обязательно! У меня "Старый капрал" имеет номер 1378. Оборот мог иметь и номер 1380. Рукописные цифры связаны с номером копии матрицы, у пластинок разных тиражей они могут отличаться.
