"Fascination" was written in 1904 by Marchetti as an instrumental titled "Valsr Tzigane" (Gypsy Waltz). Jane Dyt originally recorded "Fascination" (Fidenco Dante Marchetti - Maurice De Féraudy) in 1905. Rumours abound that the waltz was ghost-written by Maurice Ravel. The French lyric has no connection to the English composed by Dick Manning (Samuel Medoff) in 1932.

Jane Morgan (Florence Catherine Currier) and the Troubadors (five studio musicians) cover of "Fascination" (Manning - Marchetti) hit the top ten. The song is from the 1957 Billy Wilder movie "Love in the Afternoon" starring Gary Cooper, Audrey Hepburn and Maurice Chevalier .
