I had the rare pleasure and opportunity of getting to know Mary Ellis when she was in her 90s, and she was a truly lovely lady. She was so proud - and very modest too, when she spoke about the fact that Ivor had written Musicals for her. I was quite overwhelmed when realising I had got to know someone who was so close to Ivor and had worked with him so much - it was a wonderful experience!
Such a beautiful song. Shame it's so hard to find to buy. I first heard it when Derek Jameson presented the Terry Wogan show for the few years and he had a musical spot on there. This song took my breath away.
A beautiful song that touches the heart , i remember when i was about 8 years old in 1956 and my mother took us to watch "The Dancing Years" at our local cinema , it was a live performance by a great cast, i can never forget the lovely tunes even at that age they stirred the emotions,
What pleasure that must have been to see The Dancing Years I live in hope that some day Ivor's musicals will come back and I can go and see them. I love Ivor's music.
SO wonderful many Thanks

Hi
I am so pleased you enjoyed my Ivor Novello posting of My Dearest Dear - it is a great number with Ivor in the song. His voice is so pleasant.
Warmest regards
