When I Fall in Love / My Foolish Heart

Two errors appear in the credits of "When I Fall in Love". The composer is credited as Albert Felden, but it should be Albert Selden, co-producer of Man of La Mancha who in 1948 composed a song titled When I Fall in Love for the Broadway revue Small Wonder . But, in fact, Sam Cooke sings the 'other' song, the popular "When I Fall in Love" composed for the film One Minute to Zero by Victor Young with lyrics by Edward Heyman.

Victor Young had no luck in this album because "My Foolish Heart", also composed by him, in this case with lyrics by Ned Washington, for the 1949 film My Foolish Heart is credited to H. Martin, J. Ward and S. Brown. Victor Young, died in November 10, 1956, two years before the release of this album.
