A standing ovation is just not enough.

@Geoffers008 Barry's sister IS in charge of his estate, and DOES have say as to what can or can't be released. She has recently been involved in a dispute over a copy of "The Betsy" that was allowed into the possesion of two private owners. Not the "jazz" music from the score, but the additional ...

@lukehang Hang onto that feeling Luke. It's called humanity. It's what raises you above the rest of the animal kingdom. Unfortunately, inhumanity is what also seperates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. If a movie and music such as this can touch a thirteen year old, then there's hope for ...

I can only hazard the guess some chief exec somewhere thought " everyone will think we stole the idea from Ghost " or " people will always conect it with Ghost " even though it was first. Then there's the old "copyright/royalties" thing. I.E. a one off payment for original TV release using "Uncha...

I just posted on "Leap Home Pt 1&2" that this episode makes a suitable "trilogy" when watched in sequence after those two. It's Al's way of saying "Yes Sam, if I could leap, I'd try to change my past too....for the better" I used to have all 3 on one video tape and watch them back to back. The st...

These 2 episodes make an excellent "trilogy" if watched along with "M.I.A." when Al tries to con Sam he's leaped to save someone, when all the time, Al wants Sam to stop a guy meeting his (Al's) wife, while Al is missing in 'Nam at the time. I loved watching all 3 back to back. Great story flow.

To just be able to sit front and centre and let this wash over you.

Possibly one of the things that makes this man's songs so endearing is the fact, he wasn't an egotistical, career obssesed, I must have flowers/chocolate etc in my dressing room individual. He was a teacher from a Midlands school, he wrote music that strikes chords with people, but most of all, h...

There are some songs that really just need piano backing. And this is one of them. Heard it first when it came out, and it made me realise just what a good piano backing is. Love the chords. Would love to here this amplified, piano and vocals only in a huge hall.

I'd forgotten just how good these guys were. Nailed ever top group of the day. Brill.

This is sooooo spaghetti western.........thank God.

Some people desparately need to get here and hear a true live performer who uses only what he was born with entertain. Had this on a B side when I was a teenager, and although it was at the height of the "Rock n Roll" decade, this just stunned me. What a guy, what a talent.

Amen to that brother.

In response to ShadesOfRapture, I've been a BB/BW fan for 45 yrs + now. I like the Fleets, and yes, there are artists around today who compare/compete for vocal excellence on a BB/BW scale. Hell BW has taken the Wondermints on as his backing group based on their vocal capabilities, and having hea...

Which just goes to prove.....no matter how well trained YOU think YOUR dog is, he actually.....'aint. Soft twat should keep him on a lead, long one if he want's, but still on a lead. It's gonna all end in tears sooner or later if you think you're the master and he/she has lost that 95% wolf in it...

The track Mike Love & Van Dyke Parks fell out over regarding lyrics, leading to Parks departure from the "Smile" sessions. Parks wrote "over and over the crow flies, uncover the corn fields" at the end section in repeat chorus. Love asked what it was supposed to mean, & Parks replied something to...

@mattopowell Yeah, you're right. Just checked out Rolf Kempf on you tube and he sure as hell 'aint no paraplegic.

During the late 60's early 70's, I went to the cinema alone quite often. I saw quite a few films "by accident" as it were, as I'd gone to see the "support feature" that was on with the main film. They did that in those days, 2 films for your money. Get Carter, Kes and this were all discovered pu...

This track was up some months ago, then disappeared. I made the comment then that Id first heard it at primary school 62 when a new teacher came to my school. Each morning, the assembly was heralded by a piece of music, usually classical. Then a new, younger, teacher arrived, and chose this for t...

I went to the movies in the late 60's to see a support feature with this film {they used to do that way back then} I came away with a whole new slant on what actually makes a good film, and this was it. Never before had music fit so perfectly to the action. Marmite this may well be to a lot of p...

There was a docu on TV some time ago, think it was a South Bank show on S & G. Paul was driving around his old neighbourhood where he lived as a teenager with the reporter who was doing the interview. At a certain point, he indicated a place where he said he remembered he and Art were sat in a ca...

On all the other posts regarding music I've put up on You Tube, I try to use up all the characters available to express my feelings. Paul, thank you for ALL the music over the years. Nuff said.

Well, I've passed from 60's pop and rock, motown, Beach Boys, Alice Cooper, Paul Simon, 80's, Morricone, film soundtrack music, northern soul, reggae,...and now I'm here. If this indicates the progression of old age, I'm glad I made it. To pass out of this life into the next world with something ...

Bravo. Excellent interpretaion of one of my favourite pieces from the film. Have long wanted to hear it without the dialogue. Sent the link to a friend who once did the minuet as aan actor and it brought back fond memories for him.

Bubblegum? Who said bubblegum? If this is bubblegum it get's my vote. Simple and pure. And don't tell me you never saw a girl you thought this about but didn't do nothing about. Sweet adolescence.

Never been much of Springsteen fan. But this track just grabs me by the soul and won't quit. All the pieces fit. It comes together perfectly. The echo, the drum rimshot, the organ.....Christ it's sheer ear nectar. In my desert island discs. Is there a 10 min extended version of this out there som...

This is the kind of tune you hear, walking down a street, say, in an area where there are work shops or small garages. You catch a couple of bars and recognise it and you just have to stop and hear it all the way through. No one else has a clue why you're stood there, nodding in time, singing und...

Please please please, if you have them, put up "Hancock's School" and "The Scandal Magazine". Also "Hancock in the Police" if available.

Hi OneMarianne. See if you can find my other posts on those mentioned below. Reckon most Northern fans have a connection where the music is concerned. Some I new lost the faith when they got old. I got crystal clear memories of my times 35 years ago. Not wishful thinking, just fond memories of a ...
