Al Martino (born Jasper Cini; October 7, 1927 – October 13, 2009) was an Americansinger and actor. He had his greatest success as a singer between the early 1950s and mid-1970s, being described as "one of the great Italian American popcrooners", and also became well known as an actor, particularly for his role as singer Johnny Fontane in The Godfather.
Early life
Jasper "Al" Cini was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The name Jasper was an anglicisation of his father's name, Gasparino. His parents were immigrants from Abruzzo, Italy, who ran a construction business, and while growing up he worked alongside his brothers as a bricklayer. He was inspired to become a singer by emulating artists such as Al Jolson and Perry Como, and by the success of a family friend, Alfredo Cocozza, who had changed his name to Mario Lanza.
Career
After serving with the United States Marine Corps in World War II, during which he was part of, and injured in, the Iwo Jima invasion, Cini began his singing career. Encouraged by Lanza, he adopted the stage name Al Martino—based on the name of his good friend Lorraine Cianfrani (née Losavio)'s husband Alfred Martin Cianfrani—and began singing in local nightclubs. In 1948 he moved to New York City, recorded some sides for the Jubilee label, and in 1952 won first place on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scoutstelevision program with a performance of Como's hit "If".
In the film, the character (Banderas) writes the song for his long-lost love, Maria Riveiro (Talisa Soto).
This song received an Academy Award nomination, finally won by "A Whole New World", from Aladdin. Antonio Banderas refused to sing the song live, and tenorPlácido Domingo became the first Spaniard to perform at the Oscars ceremony.
Italian sisters Paola & Chiara covered this song for the album "festival" (2002)
The song was performed by Robert Moscio in his 1999 album "One By One".
Here is Al Martino in this vocally amazing performance of the song, Beautiful Maria of my Soul from the soundtrack of the 1992 movie The Mambo Kings, taken from Al's 2000 release simply titled, "Thank You"

***************
In the sunlight of your smile
In the summer of our life
In the magic of love
Storms above scattered away
Lovers dreaming in the night
Reaching for Paradise
But as the dark shadows fade
Love slips away
On an empty stretch of beach
In the pattern of the waves
Drawing pictures with my hand
In the sand, I see your face
Skipping pebbles on the sea
Wishing for Paradise
Sand castles crumble below
The restless tides ebb and flow
Listening to a shell
Hoping for your voice
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Of my soul
~~~♫♫♫ ~~~
Though we'll always be apart
Locked forever in a dream
If I ever love again
Even then, nothing will change
And the taste of you remains
Clinging to paradise
But as the distance from you grows
All that my heart ever knows
Hunger for your kiss
Longing for your touch
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Filling all my nights
And haunting all my days
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Of my soul
Of my soul
