This cover is really a treasure. Excellent work. Thanks so much for this.

Really aptures the spirit of this song, although it is so very different from the Joni Mitchell and CSN&Y versions.

I'm guessing that this performance dates from the early 1970s. Bing was getting on in years, but was still in good voice. His son is a fine guitarist and I'm sure Bing was very proud of him.

Great clip. Thanks for posting.

This is really excellent. Intercutting the old video with the live performance works very well. Are there more of these?

Splendid performance. Dennis Yost himself couldn't do this any better. I didn't even miss the saxaphone - well, maybe just a little.

Excellent rendition, very faithful to the original.

amishparadise428 - Thank you so much for posting this fine recording. Do you know when it was recorded? I am guessing some time in the 1970s.

I stumbled onto this video by accident. I am 64 years old and can still remember edging away from the sidewalk santas when my mother took me Christmas shopping. Whenever she asked if wanted to talk to Santa, the answer was always "no!". I'm not sure if I ever believed there was a Santa Claus, but...

@slick658 - Right you are. What these open-borders types fail to consider as they berate us all as racists is that if you try to load 50 people into a lifeboat that will only hold 20 people, it really doesn't matter whether the extra 30 people are orange, pink, or purple. The boat will go to the ...

Who was the bass player on this recording?

This film is a treasure, truly one of the best examples of Allied propaganda from the late war period. But, like most propaganda, it has a few factual inaccuracies (more than a few in this case). Rather than catalogue them here, I recommend the following books to anyone with an interest in this s...

Excellent.

This is the only time that I have seen Vinicius de Moraes singing his own lyrics. He died in 1980, so I would guess this performance was recorded in the late 1970s. Can anyone confirm this?

I know that lots of folks regard this as a "chick song", but it is so musically and lyrically powerful and so beautifully rendered by the vocalist that even a hardened male chauvanist cynic like me can appreciate its majesty.

@SopranoOfTheNight - Yes, this was 20-year-old George Chakiris in the 1954 film, White Christmas. He appeared as Bernardo, leader of the Sharks, in the 1961 film rendition of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story.

It is clear that the cultural imperialism that has been brought to England from Africa and the Middle East is a threat to the indigenous culture of this country. To suggest that resistance to islamification of Britain is a “phobia” is like saying that a man who tries to escape from a burning hou...

Antonio Carlos Jobim died in 1994. Does anyone know when this video clip was recorded?

Who are Bieber and Gaga? Are they consummate artists like Nat Cole? It seems unlikely.

Ah, yes, the forest people. Where are they now?

First heard this tune in the mess hall of C-9-3, Ft. Knox, KY in Jan 1967. I was in my 3rd week of basic training. It was the kind of thing that helped keep me sane. Thanks, Seekers!

This song is often grouped with the Tears for Fears song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". Does anyone know why (excepting that they are both great tunes)?

Does anyone know when this rendition was recorded?

Anyone know when this was recorded?

This is unbelievably good.

I'm not a big Phil Collins fan, but....

Ars gratis artis!

War -no matter who wages it, where it is fought, or for what reason - is a temporary lapse into barbarism. When you have hundreds of thousands of young men under arms sent into a country to fight, you are going to have atrocities. If the citizens of the invading/occupying power don't want this t...

I first heard this record on radio station WIP in Philadelphia in 1966. Does anyone know when it was recorded?

I have never been a big Madonna fan (though I was impressed by her role as Eva Peron), but I like this song. I can't imagine anyone else who could have done it quite so well. Does anyone know who wrote it?

It isn't quite Lani and Janice, but it is very good and highly evocative of the original Brazil '66. Sergio's arrangement is every bit as good as in those days.

@ezial49 - Yes, Antonio Carlos Jobim was certainly the premier Brazilian composer of his generation, but let's not forget Luis Bonfa (Black Orfeus) and Juao Gilberto, who, I believe, provides guitar accompaniment to Mr. Sinatra in this video.

First heard this rendition in 1966. Who else did it? Bert Kaempfert? But the TJB's version is my favorite still.

@Hazeleyedtaurus - This comment is priceless. Thanks for posting!
