Here (song)

Here (song)

"Here" is a popular song, with music written by Harold Grant and lyrics by Dorcas Cochran, published in 1954. (Most sources show music and lyrics by both, but Cochran was a lyricist [ [http://www.ibdb.com/person.asp?id=88932 Dorcas Cochran on Internet Broadway Database] ] and Grant a composer.)

The melody was adapted from the operatic aria, "Caro nome," from the opera "Rigoletto" by Giuseppe Verdi.

A hit version was recorded by Tony Martin in 1954. This recording was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-5665. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on March 17, 1954 and lasted 16 weeks on the chart, peaking at #7. cite book
