CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS


#718 IT MUST BE HIM Vikki Carr
Texan Vikki Carr was born in 1941. Curiously, her solo success began in Australia where she scored a #5 hit with "He's a Rebel" in 1962. Some follow-up singles dented the Adult Contemporary chart, but Carr had to wait until 1967 to finally reach the Top 20 on the US Hot 100. 
"It Must Be Him" not only peaked at #3 in the USA, it reached the top in Australia, reigning for 3 weeks. The song had started life as a French song, with music by Gilbert Becaud and Maurice Vidalin's lyrics. Mack David translated the words into English. Dave Pell produced Carr's new version. That success could not be sustained and Carr continued charting until 1971. In the Eighties, Carr released albums sung in Spanish.
