Anthony Perkins sings THEE I LOVE Friendly Persuasion

[MissMusicPro]

The Lettermen do a real nice version of this song also...

[OpinioniDi1Vagabondo]

Che bella!!

What a great film! I liked Tony Perkins. People used to say I looked like him and I was very proud of it, when I was 16. Didn't know he was a singer too. Discovered it 50 years later. Rockybrazil1

He was wonderful with Jane Fonda in Tall Story also.

[cljoyner39]

This was an absolutely lovely film. I still love to hear this song from it, and always will.

Little known fact, this was written by Richard Nixon's cousin.

Hardly pro war, a real family struggling with right and wrong.

Two movies ruined Tony Perkins; "Fear Strikes Out" and "Psycho". He played mentally ill young men in both and did very well. After these movies, it was hard to look at Perkins without seeing the crazy guy in his his eyes.

[ferociousgumby]

What a respect for lyrics, what a casual yet focused performance style! His singing voice is exactly like his speaking voice, and that's rare. This is not meant as a criticism, but he sings like a very talented amateur who doesn't aspire to the overblown histrionics of "real" singers. He just sings it. His pleasure in singing is obvious, too. He made several albums during his heyday which did very well, and appeared in a musical, Greenwillow. (If you already know this, sorry.)

Usually I've liked Pat Boone's version of this song, but I like Anthony Perkins' BETTER. Now it's my favorite!!!!!!!!! I didn't know he sang this beautifully!!!!!!!

I wish he had had more confidence in his voice to sing more often. I agree with the poster that said Psycho ruined his career. It really did. He should not have done that movie. He could have remained a leading man and not have the stigma of that movie.

[ferociousgumby]

My comment disappeared! I was TRYING to say that I found his singing very fresh and unmannered. No posturing or trying to be "good" or stylish, just pure sincerity. I loved him in Friendly Persuasion, for which he got an Oscar nomination. But Psycho really killed his career. His wife Berry was killed on 911 (in one of the planes, horribly). I think he never solved his conflict about his sexuaity. But oh what a great singing style, very direct. Just sings. Oh we miss him!

@ferociousgumby Is that a Fact about his wife ? Really a BIG day for the MUSLIM Scum Sucking Cowards.

I worked for a while on the Top @ Windows of the World.

I enjoyed this -- Just don't aggravate his mother

[HitRECjanae]

Whenever I am watching smoke or even around smoke in Cinema, I cringe- Like for instance, "Five Miles To Midnight". Perkins was an amazing actor, singer, and over all human being. If any of you love him the way I do then Daemona007's channel is the way to see a great part of him daily.

[HitRECjanae]

Tony Perkins was not a smoker. Daemona was correct; He had tuberculous and a horrible case at that.

[medo7229]

his voice is fantastic

[grafonolafavorite]

Tony, Tony, Tony. Cool. Excellent movie. Haven't seen it in years. Time to see it again.

[MrsJaneBennett]

Anthony Perkins not only was a real good actor-he could also sing very nice!!

[chucknchar]

amazing movie, a mazing song

[822d]

I love this. I didn't know Tony was a singer, as well as an extremely gifted actor. Thank you so much for posting this video.

[melodyworks]

I love this song....it particularly suits Perkins...beautiful voice.

[harvey1954]

I like how the last shot is for the film Friendly Persuasion and right behind Perkin's head it mentions his starring role in Pyscho! Quakers with knives, don't shower.

[EutuveX]

Just downloaded the movie .. beautiful DVD rip I will enjoy watching it again after so many years ..

[nancyfloressantos]

One of my all-time favorite songs.

[Juliaflo]

Well, heavenly hash. This version is much more melodic than that of Charles Eugene Patrick Booone--Pat Boone to you.

[melodyworks]

I never knew Anthony Perkins could sing! WOW! Such a beautiful voice!

[dimataga94]

he is simply adorable -sighs and goes all gogle eyes at tony's pics- lol he is sooo adorable!

[TheBlueGin]

I love Anthony Perkins ever since I saw him in this movie when I was a kid.

[PeterFirthFan]

Perkins was a smoker.

[Daemona007]

NO,as a child he had tuberculosis very often and his lungs did suffer a lot from that.He did only pretend to smoke for movies.

[PeterFirthFan]

I heard Gary Cooper didn't like him at all. Was it because Perkins didn't smoke?

[MrPrubem]

@Daemona007 He was a smoker, you can see him here:

[nalvojo]

[berriwine]

I'm lost here, I've seen this film when I was little and this brought back fond memories of my dad. Gosh, I didn't know Anthony Perkins had passed away, and I always love listening to this song. I'm glad to have found this vid.

Thanks so much. .. He 's really dashing!

[EutuveX]

@berriwine

he died 18 years ago ....where were you ?

[berriwine]

@EutuveX ..well, I live over the side of the continent in Singapore. Anthony Perkins, Pat Boone, Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra ,etc ..I know them all through my dad's love for music and movies. This piece of music is special to me as it revives beautiful memories.

[EutuveX]
