Glad to hear from you, and yes...that is exactly the point I have been driving home repeatedly here on YOUTUBE with my rantings and postings. Happy to hear someone agrees with me......we REALLY want our sport back......and I believe we will get it soon, 6.0's and all!!!!!!! always glad to welcome a 'kindred spirit'!! best wishes

Wow! This is an amazing piece. I've never seen it before but already you can clearly see how brilliant and slick they are and yes, their love story is apparent and probably what makes it so sensous, passionate and tender!! Love it, thanks for sharing.

[k9henrydog]

thanks for these videos, i love torvill and dean and i love making videos on them. i sent them a video i had made about them to them when they were on tour this yr and i got a reply from them the other day and was so happy, i couldn't believe it, it was like the best thing in the world!!!!!! :D:D

[k9henrydog]

Yes, that does sound quite exciting! I still have a treasured signed letter from Barbie Smith (1974)!! Glad they enjoyed your work, and you enjoy theirs. Theirs does seem to keep on giving!! best wishes

Beautiful! I am always amazed all over again at their grace. What a treat to find something from their earlier days, perfection from the start. Thank you for sharing this.

[k9henrydog]

Glad you found it!! Maybe even 'Bored Santa' will like it too!! best wishes

OMG, this is truly amazing. Yet again, I call b.s. on all that T&D say in their autobiography about how they had to learn all that acting stuff from the people they worked with. Clearly, they *knew* how to make eye contact, how to play up the romance, how to make the love and longing palpable - that was all them, they never had to be taught that. (To think they were working full-time at this point!)

Thanks for posting, this is an amazing, moving number and surely very very rare footage!!

[k9henrydog]

And isn't that what dancing is really all about anyway!! All this fancy, intricate gymnastic work these days just glosses over the essence of the sport....these young 'whippersnappers' soooo miss the mark!!! "and their little judges too!!" to paraphrase Dorothy .....(Gale, not Hamill) lol thanks for commenting, best wishes

[didderjade]

They are so, so beautiful together. 1:13, jaw-dropping.

[k9henrydog]

It does make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, doesn't it....so heart wrenching too!! best wishes

[murraythehotscot]

wow! that was amazing!!

where did u get it? :)

[k9henrydog]

it's an old Jimmy Fund performance from Harvard in Boston....cancer benefit the fraternities do every year!! they often spotlite up and comers who they think will be making an impact soon.......the music is just overwhelming!!!! best wishes

[murraythehotscot]

well they were right about the up and coming bit =D

thank you very much :)

[aurorasunday]

the music is beautiful, any idea on what it is??

[k9henrydog]

No, but it sounds like a 70's movie theme from something profound and self exploratory!! lol....self exploration was big at the time! I am sure someone will know, and comment an answer soon! best wishes

[LILMISSKIKI099]
