Anthony Perkins - Heather On The Hills 60s tribute

[ferociousgumby]

Such joy.

I LOVE his singing voice. He overstretched it in songs like Never Will I Marry, but in a lyrical song like this he really shines. His voice is completely unique, warm (and often he was criticized for coldness! I don't hear it here), with the kind of natural vibrato I've never heard. Also, there is a pleasure in the singing, like he really loved to do it. What made it so special is that he wasn't Sinatra and didn't try to be. Check out "Thee I Love" from Friendly Persuasion!

Such a talented, beautiful man. Does it get any better than Tony Perkins? He was just darling.

This is a lovely tribute video. Great work.

@RocktheSocks I keep watching these videos time and again...it's really rare to find such a mix of talent, beauty and kindness. Wherever this spirit is now, I'm pretty much sure it's receiving all the admiration and love from millions of people, even those that like me belong to a younger generation. Thanks Anthony!!!!

He had such a sweet voice. :3

I knew about his singing carrer, but never heard him till I came here, LOL. I'm very amazed 2 see how talented he was, not only 4 actin'. BTW, I also heard him singin' in French & I wonder if he sang in other languages too, like Spanish.

Anthony Perkins was (and IS) a good singer, but as an actor he was a real genius. I cried a lot in the end of Goodbye, Again - he was so great there...

[dyingbrain]

yes,goodbye again is THE mostz wonderful movie i ve ever seen in my entire life.i could keep seeing it forever each and every night again and again.

Perkins had an excellent singing voice. I am not sure why his singing was not more recognized and applauded. He definitely had the talent! In fact, he is almost better at singing than at acting, although he was a good actor too. And what an attractive man he was!

roaming in the ... is derived from a UK folk song

This song also later became the theme of "Brigadoon," the Gene Kelly/Cyd Charisse musical set in the mythical Scottish town that will haunt you with its legends, and lovely people. Tony's voice

is so genuine and appealing here,

[billk700]

You are a bit misinformed. "The Heather on the Hill" was written for the Broadway show "Brigadoon" by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. The show came out in 1947. It was later made into a movie. It's not accurate to refer to as it "the theme of Brigadoon"; it's one of several songs in "Brigadoon" (play and movie). Also, I doubt very much that it was "derived from a UK folk song." I think the authors were familiar with Scotland and its features, and were being creative, as was their wont.
