The absolute greatest instrumental ever played. I am 63 years old and there is no other song that compares. It will be played at my funeral.

[pasakari]

tulee mieleen lapsuusvuodet 1950 luvun lopulla .

upea tyyli soittaa klarinettia ja hieno orkesteri taustalla.

Petite Fleur ja La Mer ,,,,, ja monta muuta. onneksi hyllystä löytyy tuo vinyyli

[SigP229R]

The memories this brings back are unrold. This is the first song I ever danced to with a girl.

[QWZXM]

Thank you "Sixties forever" for your kind correspondence. I wish you well, and nice to see your nephew involved in Music.

[arabara007]

Very hgreat song my father loves it me too timeles song GREAT

[sixtiesforever1966]

It is one great song, and was favorite of mine in USA.

My Mom was too poor to send me for music lessons.

Love Music......David

[QWZXM]

NIce, a great tune from an era that I loved. I guess growing up in the 60's had it's ups and downs but the music was just fantastic from that era. I hope you finally did some music lessons.

[sixtiesforever1966]

No i never got to the music but as you see i still love good music and when I went on here to write you a reply I got shivers all over my body hearing this great everlasting piece of music. I did end up an Artist and Fashion Photographer.

My nine year old nephew has been playing the piano for three years and I give him a lot of encouragement. 

Thank You David

[barbi1sky]

Beautiful!

[sheberlyn]

I have a signed bowler hat of Aker Bilks..his hat was being auctioned at a charity event in Luton..he beat the record for being number one in the charts with this song..

[Inarose22]

Wonderful recording and tune.

[Hannahmeht]

This was played at my Grandad's funeral. RIP love you always xx

[mezzmezzy]

Happy Birthday Acker, 80 today!

[pdm1224]

Thanks for posting this childhood memory! Beautiful! I never knew the name of it until now.

[slrvtnetzero]

pdm,

Also you should read the words...if you choose the 1st version of it from YouTube that is listed. Click on "more info" in the top, upper right-hand screen. The words are as beautiful as the song. This song was also used as a love song between Patsy Cline and her husband, Charlie in the movie..."Sweet Dreams." They danced so beautifully and tenderly in the movie to this very song. What a movie and what a song! Enjoy!-Sandra-S.C.

[loskar777]

que tema!! creo que pasaron mas de 30 años que no lo escuchaba!! Gracias youtube gracias Bluebirduk!!!

[lancylass]

makes you want stop what you're doing ,close your eyes and drift away , a truly beautiful tune . LOVE IT

[NMarti4973]

I thought I was the only one who felt like that. It's my favorite instrumental. It reminds me of my childhood, summer, and a time when things seemed a little slower.

[sboyd97223]

Does anyone have the video of when this was posted as a short for movies? I remember it from so long ago. Also, could someone please post the "flipside" of this record...it was called "Take these lips"...that was the most erotic tune ever recorded!

[kawalvi]

Search for "acker bilk -- stranger on the shore/ take my lips 45 rpm" - on youtube.

The flipside is played approx halfway thru.

[Lukeashley2323]

i am only 20 but i have listen to Acker Bilk since i was young he is the man the dapper man would love to go over to Pensford and see him in his local that would be cool.

Just supping away your pint and who happens to be a local but Acker Bilk that would be strange

[globalwarning]

Luv it, 20 ain't old bruv.

[Buffy2TR]

Wow...this reminds me of days gone by when times were the best of. Thank you, thank you for the beautiful music!

[oneforthebristolcity]

he lives in pensford and he drinks in the rising sun just down the rd from me

[mkcmazo]

I can remember listening to acker as a kid,, my dad always played his record full volume in a morning.. it brings back such happy memories,, his music also allows me to drift away for a while to another place,, its so relaxing and beautiful... aria is my first fav,, but they are all fantastic,, a very talented man....*************

[RobXbr500]

u is all geeks init!!!! ya mon!!! av just started 2 play da clarinet!! init!!! in't this shit gd!!!!!! ya mon!!!!

[Kuatchisugimoto]

Obviously your IQ is below that of an Amoeba (init!!!!). If you don't like it simply say you don't like it and stop being a Sphincter.

[rottenbot]

Fantastic ,, the best ever version of this tune,,

[minero73mx]

can any one emailme this song in .mp3 format ? I would appreciate very very much.

[minero73mx]

My father's favorite song. thanks for sharing

[cricketbat08]

This is a classic tune, which evokes happy memories!

[fairlawn11]

Takes me back a bit-great days

[htuomnom]

OH HOW GREAT IS THIS

[Markfuiekgbmdf]

"Strangers on the Shore" = this clarinet music is the sweetest sound around. Granted not everyone enjoys soft hit music from days gone by, but I for one sure do. This site made my day and this is just as I remember my father playing it on the record player.

This was the first time my wife every heard the song. She was lying on the bed and had started to take a nap when I began playing it. I stopped it for a moment and she said, "Don't stop it that sounds really great." Thanks BlueBirdUK

[1tyresius]

if they ever make a film about acker bilks life story then surely there is only one actor to play him......robert de niro. look at early pictures of bilk and you can see the resemblance.

[mochras]

One of the best songs ever and from a real musician.  I started playing clarinet at 9 and met Acker when I was 10, now at the tender age of 41 I'm still playing and Acker is my all time idol. Saw him last year, aged 78, still as good as ever.

[oldtroll52]

thanks for this post, grew up on this music!

and took clarinett in school, that was so long ago.

i will look 4 this song on iTunes, i use you tube to find the music i like to listen and buy. happy new year!

[DerSelbst]

Mr Acker Bilk - ein Musiker der alten Garde - Sie sind ausgestorben - leider ! Sie brachten Musik zum Leuchten !

[Hannahmeht]

RIP Grandad, Alwais miss u xxx

[xoxbabiigurljodzxox]

[johnsussex123]

Great tune, Acker...from a fellow Brit.

[Sugarbehr1967]

[mssear]

I'm 57 and as a girl went to CYO dance. The couple that ran the dance ended every night with Stranger on the shore. I was 15 and still remember them dancing, and that wonderful music.

Thank you!

[primeralives]

What a beautiful memory mssear. I also remember being a small kid at the time and hearing this played on Los Angeles radio. It makes me miss my wonderful Dad and those great days.

[Tennisgirl1990]

Just wondering, how old is he now? Absolutely brilliant playing

[primeralives]

Wonderful memory of a wonderful time in life. How i miss you Dad.

Thanks so much Bluebirduk, for posting this gem! Although I was just born the year this melody appeared, I grew up with it. Exquisite memories. We don't get music like that anymore.

[saturnspherez]

Thank you for the memory lane sometimes it is so necessary to wander thru and recall the lovely sensations that were around during different times thank you once again

kia ora.

[KickazzRedhead]

Thank you for posting this video :) Brings me back to when I was tot & visiting my auntie & uncle. They'd play this, and my uncle would go out into the kitchen, grab my auntie & waltz her around & around! LOL!Such beautiful music to relax to!

PEACE! :)

[kportguy1]

My favorite from 1962!

[valadga]

i had his picture on my bedroom wall when i was a little girl thankyou.

[goddessofluv]

I listened to this record(yes record), everynight as a child and love Mr. Acker Bilk,and Billy Vaughn as well aas the other great orchestras of that time. But no one could come close to Acker Bilk!!! Do you by any chance have his(and I do not believe anyone else has done it) version of "Is this the Blues" It is an incredibly beautiful and hard to find song, I had the album and lost it in a house fire. Thank you linda

[tropicalpancake56]

How very beautiful. I was about 10 when this came out. It reminds me of a very young Mother and Father.

The song is very special to me. Thank you, so much.

[Derventio74]
