Warm All Over from The Most Happy Fella. Frank Loesser composer and lyricist is best known for Guys and Dolls and How To Succeed in Business. His near operatic creation was The Most Happy Fella which tells of the romance  between an older Italian American grower of wine grapes and a younger attractive mail order bride anxious to escape the life of a waitress in San Fransisco. Two songs became quite popular in the 1950's - Standing On The Corner and Joey Joey. In Warm All Over, Jo Sullivan sings of the tender feelings she has developed for Tony after some dramatic conflicts now happily resolved. It is more like an operatic aria than a pop song . one that Puccini himself might have written.
