@Seazer009 No problem, just letting you know where you can find more information on my postings! Glad you like the song.

[Seazer009]

Nice tune. If I remember correctly this song was played in the movie, Circus of Horrors. I saw that movie a very long time ago....

[TheLimePopsicle]

@Seazer009 There is more information in the description I wrote under the video.

GARY MILLS, (I wonder if he is any relation ) LOOK FOR A STAR. WE USED TO CALL HIM MILLS BOMB ?. ( a Mills Bomb was used in the 2nd world war ) colindaleradiosutch ( bit more useless information ) THE SONG AND SINGER ARE GOOD.

'Look for a Star' was very effective during the circus sequences in 'Circus of Horrors'. Of its time but still a very good story - they used a real circus for those scenes (the famous BIlly Smart's, who staged Christmas and Easter circuses on BBC Tv in the 1970s) . This song was written (or at least co-written)by Tony Hatch and was a UK hit in 1960 as we've seen, not long after TH had finished national service. Still a nice song and standing the test of time. Enjoy!

I heard the Billy Vaughn version back in the 60s in Japan. I didn't know there were four versions at the same time in 1960. It's sometimes educational to watch YouTube! I can learn pop music history! I listened to all four versions, and I like them all! Thanks TheLimePopsicle for your description!

[TheLimePopsicle]

@madaboutoldies You're welcome, thanks for reading the description!

Gosh, I had forgotten all about Garry Mills..is he still around ?

This song was beautiful back in 1960 and the movie was not so much scary as sexy..for it's time...

Thanks for sharing..

[domblet]

@elisa412 Yes he is still around. I saw him in our local where he was chatting about his early life. He was with some friends and looked to be enjoying his holiday here.

[elisa412]

[morningview612]

This song has been playing over and over again in my mind all day long. That's because I watched Circus of Horrors last night on TCM. It's a great song&great movie!!

[oldschoolhero2006]

THE DEFINING SONG FROM THE BRITISH HORROR FILM ''CIRCUS OF HORRORS'' [1960].

[redsnapper1959]

Not to be confused with the almost identical version by Garry MILES that charted in the US alongside this version!

[TheLimePopsicle]

@redsnapper1959 That's right, I explain all the different versions in the description of this video.

[redsnapper1959]

@TheLimePopsicle ... oops ... should've seen your notes first ... apologies for the repetition!

[TheLimePopsicle]

@redsnapper1959 It's all right, a lot of people forget to read the descriptions. You meant well of course, and I love to read all comments. I only mentioned it because I spend a lot of time writing descriptions and trying to make them interesting and infomative!

[franklindavid]

Look for a Star was so appropriate for the movie "Circus of Horrows", Gary Mills brought out the best rendition.

[fgonzalezcuba2008]

the song was much better than the movie..!! thanks for the clip

[dianamaryflorence]

This was one of my favorite songs in 1960 and this was the only man that could sing it.

[jsbach15]

The movie was regularly played on our local TV station during the 1970s; usually on Saturday afternoons in the mid-west. Haven't seen it since that time. Great song. 10+ stars!

[shatinterry]

You know Tom, this record is RARE one in Hong Kong, dont know why ,not many people got it, I dont have it as well, managed to get a pirate copy only (from taiwan), its scrappy....this one sound excellent...

[WearsTheFire]

Hi there TheLimePopsicle

Had to get this for my channel. Thanks for this song!!!

[TheLimePopsicle]

You're welcome!

[MetTechII]

I did not see the movie, but the song was a big hit. For so many decades, I kept humming it to myself.

[rarebutgreat]

If one song sums up the pre beatles era its this one.

[TheLimePopsicle]

That particular era is a lot more diverse than "historians" make it out to be, and it gave birth to some of the best pop music ever recorded.

[jsbach15]

Yep, the early 60s were vastly different than the later part of the decade. People who weren't around, think only of "hippies" and "psychedelic music, mushrooms, and marijuana!" NOT TRUE!

[TheLimePopsicle]

That's right, the hippes and weird psychedelic music were only in the last few years of the decade.

[tbear4pa]

@jsbach15

That's very true because 1960 was actually a continuation or an extention of the 50's! Nothing really changed at all that year from 1959, Ike Eisenhower was still president until JFK was inaugurated in 1961, and cars and music were also still basically the same. Actually "hippies" were still unheard of back then, instead there were just the

"Beatniks" that were around in the 50's. The only known drug back then(in the 50's) was heroin, which was used by the singer Dion DiMucci then.

[jsbach15]

@tbear4pa Yep! Although, I hadn't heard that about Dion; but it was certainly well know about drummer, Gene Krupa, who eventually kicked the habit.

[aandrus7]

@tbear4pa Right on! Perfectly said.

[jellybeans178]

@jsbach15 Amen, They just don't get it. You had to be there.

[bloggieguy]

@jsbach15 hes my cousin and not a hippie

[Phaedrax2]

@TheLimePopsicle

Too true, 'The Swinging Sixties' meant great pop music, great fashion and lots of new clubs opening everywhere - not the 'swinging couples (wife swapping) ' that many people - who probably weren't there at the time - seem to to think it was. I cannot regret for one minute being the age I am, because I lived through such a great era :D

[sfratpack]

Spectacular Towering Terror! One man's lust...made men into beasts, stripped women of their souls! For ever stranger thrills...he turned the greatest show on earth into a...Circus of Horrors! Can't listen to this beautiful theme song without quivering. Great upload!

[TheLimePopsicle]

Glad that you like it!
