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.[citation needed]
Victor Young also composed "My Foolish Heart", with lyrics by Ned Washington, for the 1949 film My Foolish Heart.[2] However, the song is credited to H. Martin, J. Ward and S. Brown. Young died on November 10, 1956, two years before the release of this album.[citation needed]
