Diane (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diane is a song by Erno Rapee and Lew Pollack originally written as a theme song for the 1927 classic silent movie "Seventh Heaven".

The song was a popular single by Irish band The Bachelors released in 25 January 1964 on the Decca label (Decca F11799) and produced by Shel Talmy.[1] It reached Number 1 in the UK's Record Retailer chart (though not in the Pick of the Pops chart used by the BBC or the NME chart used by Radio Luxembourg) and number 10 in the US charts in 1964.

Jim Reeves also covered the song in the 1950s.

The song title is sometimes mistakenly referred to as 'My Diane' or confused with The Beach Boys song My Diane, which is a different song.
