This version of this song is made the greatest ever by Abe on the drums..........YES it's a great song, YES, Paul is great.............BUT watch Abe - the greatest drumming performance of all time.

Ohhh just to be that cool, in that car, with Matt Monroe on the 12 track...........

@NowakiFangirl it was written in 1937 for the musical Babes in Arms. Ella recorded this version on the Rodgers and Hart Songbook album in 1956.

Still love this track. It was banned from Hospital Radio for years.......can't imagine why....?

Remember hearing this back in 1981. 15 years later I first went to New York, and got caught between the moon and that wonderful city. What else could I do but fall in love - with the City!

1980, 11 years old, this on Radio 2 (medium wave) on the radio in the Datsun 180B estate as Mum, Dad and my brother set off on an outing or a holiday.........wonderful days of innocence and pure joy. When did life get complicated? Well who cares, music like this can transport one back to that ...

Definately getting my old "Very Best of David Gates and Bread" cassette tape out again!!

Damn you damn you whoever you are that has done a new video compliation for this song........I knew all the old clips, now I have to learn all these new ones...........!!!!! Brillant editing though, well done!! xxxx

I love this song, so many memories from the 70's with David's songs. Are they tacky now? Yes, probably, but who cares, he has a decent enough voice, and they are classics of their time. Great to hear again, lets wallow in memories for a few minutes eh?!!

Having just given up, (12 weeks now!).....this is sooooooo true!!!! Especially the cutting down "only 12 ciggies a day" bit.....good grief. So funny, what a great man.

He was wacky, perhaps mad, certainly different and unique. But who cares, he entertained millions, and raised an estimated £45 MILLION for charity. Yes, read that again..........£45 MILLION. Who cares if he was a little out of the ordinary..........Thank You Jim. I hope God has fixed some...

Actually, I have to say, Sorry Alfie Boe, Colm Wilkinson is just better than you are. Just a fact, end of!

The dream cast, I was luck enough to see this cast originally. I've been watching the 25th Anniv concert tonight and thought, hang on, this isn't great! So logged on here to see how it should be done....... ordered the 10th anniversary concert on DVD from Amazon tonight so I can watch it prop...

Literally grown up with this song, as it was released the year I was born! Was one of Mum's favourites, so played endlessly all through my childhood. I love it still. Never seen this before though, and so after all these years first time I've seen what Peter looks like! Hair styles were d...

Why is it that now I've set a date for my wedding this song keeps playing in my mind?

I listen to and watch this Brilliant Video to this Brilliant song at least once a week. Don't matter how down I ever feel, this puts me back on top of the world. (Still can't name all the films thou.......damn!)

I thought I knew all of Roger's songs. I've loved his music since I was a child. how on earth have I missed this one!!! Absolutely fantastic. So glad I have discovered it...........even 35 years late!

@ruizdechavez Brilliant, thank you.

Is there a CD or DVD of this concert? PLEASE if someone knows let me know. Thanks G

My Aunt Nina hated this song...........although she knew Noel well back in the 1950's, and he sang it to her once at the Cafe De Paris! She is still with us, though dementia has robbed her of all memories of such meetings. I still thank her for introducing me to the music of Noel though, a g...

@sondreolav Glad we agree on the version! I did know that it was an LC song originally, so learnt nothing new, though agree it was foolish of me to refer to this as the original, perhaps I meant the original "decent" version? I still stand by my first comment that anything better than the Z fa...

Wonderful, wonderful version of this great piece of music. The Disney visuals do make it special For those of you who have just discovered it........try a search for the Larry Adler version on the mouth organ.........a real treat awaits you!

Lambo through the Alps, or Austin 7 thou a cloudy UK, who cares? The song is brilliant, and the images just as evocative. Well done for matching the two.

I'm back listening to this again. If I'm feeling down, I listen to this again. Maybe just to remind myself, "nothing wilder than youth". Perhaps, like a lot of comments on here, just to take myself back to hearing this for the first time on Radio 2 the first time round. Whatever, it still ...

I found this, quite by accident tonight. What a beautiful song in tribute to all those who have died in Wars, especially back in those darkest days of WW1. My Grandfather was a Regimental Sergent Major in the Royal Scots Grays in WW1. He survived The Somme and Pachendale. In 1936, however,...

I remember being taught all these WW1 songs by my father when I was 6 or 7 years old. This one and many many more. They bring back so many memories for me. It is quite amazing that I can now log onto the internet and listen to them again. I'll pack up me troubles in me old kit bag, and light...
