Joel Grey was born Joel Katz on 11 April, 1932, in Cleveland, Ohio. Elvis must have been quick to pick up on the number then, for the earliest reference I can find to the tune with the more familiar words of "She Wears My Ring" is a recording from that same year by Jimmy Bell. He had made earlier private recordings of the song, however, and at least one of these, from 1960, has been officially released, this on "Elvis In A Private Moment" on the Follow That Dream collectors label. Elvis's version on "Good Times" is an official recording. That same year saw a new version by Louis Katzman & His Orchestra. Felice & Boudleaux Bryant provided the English lyrics. The first English version might be that of soprano Rosa Ponselle in 1934, though this is in fact a radio recording. The earliest vocal recording was made by Arturo Adamini for Edison in January 1898 on Edison cylinder 4234. Marine Band in either 1896 or 1897 on a two-minute brown wax cylinder for the Columbia Phonograph Company, cylinder number 407. The earliest known recording is probably that made by the U.S. Another is that he wrote the number while in exile in France. In 1862, when the French invaded Mexico, he wrote "La Golondrina" as his answer to France's imperial eagle. The original title of this number is "La Golondrina," Spanish for "The Swallow." The composer, Narciso Serradell Sevilla was born in 1843 in Alvarado, Veracruz.
