Thank you. After more than 2 decades of searching for this song, I finally found it. Somehow I was thinking of Biddu never giving much though to Acker Bilk who is my favourite clarinetist. Would like to share this on my fb, if you don't mind. Thank you again :)

I've heard it said that true success is when opportunity and preparedness meet, so I have to assume that because it took me 47 years to find this amazing man and his music that I must have fallen into God's good graces. Let it be therefore, finally and forever.
does anyone know where I can get the sheet music to this? Mr Acka Bilk does NOT read music but rather plays by ear. Has anyone transcribed this music?
. . the man was good in my era - his compositions are still heard around the world today - today the man is one of the greats . . . . this is pure easy listening - close your eyes and have this piece by Aker Bilk make your dreams come true, if only for the duration of the video
I was listening to that overwhelmingly marvellous tune several times in row and I moved to tears. I take my hat off to you Mr Acker Bilk. For Christ's sake, that's just incredible...
Amazing. But "jsback15" is wrong: this piece is an in italian song written by a friend of mine, Dario Baldan Bembo, and was successful all over the world. The piece Acker Bilk wrote for his daughter was "Jenny", but the song was choosen as leitmotiv of a BBC production, i.e. "Stranger on the shore", and so the song is generally known with this title
........OH SHIT.......i've just had my mind and soul completely blown away......without any comparison...i have NEVER HEARD anything so beautiful in my entire life....wot the hell have i been listening 2 in the last 47 years
@dinouren - and Acker Bilk is one of YOURS, as well! Loving this, you should love the compilation of 500 playlists I've built. A tribute to 300 artists like AB and a list for every year since 1900, all waiting to take you on a journey around the world & back through time!
Bilk Aker wrote this piece for his daughter. It is hauntingly beautiful. I can never hear enough of this exquisite composition by this classic artist. 20+ stars!
This tune is achingly beautiful. I first heard it in the 70's as background in a television ad for Ralph Lauren's Polo and it's haunted me ever since. I'm curious what visuals the artist would have chosen for this piece but this video works. Thanks so much for sharing it.

One year later and he still captivates his audience. Amazing. Saw him live 25/09/2010 and at the age of 82 - what an amazing talent. Awesome.

"Amazing" can't scratch the surface of this.

Meh. Not as good as Bach's Cello Suite No. 5 in C minor : prelude.

Thanks for sharing. Someone once had a great clip of scenes from the movie The Girl Next Door using this music. Would be nice to see it again.
