Whatever ones views are of Cliff, he deserves our respect. He managed to stay relevant for 40 years..and more. He outlasted Rick Nelson, Pat Boone, Elvis and many others. That is quite a stunning achievement. Still has a marvelous voice.....

Voted among the finest female voices in the last 50 years. You have to listen to it on an album thro' a decent system to really appreciate her silky voice. The cover of the album is depicted here and became a collector's item (was almost $100 for the album) until they started to reissue the recor...

I was too young to appreciate P. Ramlee when I was around in M'sia. Now, at 58 I realize he was a genius. Even sadder is that he was a genuinely nice person. His countrymen could not recognize the treasure they had and tried to push him out of the picture...quite literally! He died a sad and brok...

Oh my! How I remember all the spots here! I was 16 in 1970 and this scene had hardly changed. I recognize ALL of the landmarks! I used to walk these streets hundreds of times....to the Sri Jaya bus stands along the river..just after the Central Market! What memories..................sigh!

I can't help coming back to watch this clip every now n then. Yes, we'll never have friends like the ones we had when we were 12 or so. I sometimes wonder (age 55 now) at how my childhood friends fared. Trouble is, when you are young, you don't think much of the friendship and closeness of good f...

Best version is Radka Toneffs...among the best voices in the last 50 years! Pity she died young.

Still a pristine voice as ever. Better version of the song than Sting! Pity she was destined not to stay with us long.

Another great vocalist (also died young) is Radka Toneff...The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

King Cole was described by Sinatra as un-imitable...there is only one NKC! You shld listen to a good quality recording (a record) on a good system. The song will simply blow you away!

One of my favorite singers. Her The Moon is a Harsh Mistress was voted as one of the best performances in the last 50 years! Eva Cassidy is another great...also died young. Pity she died young! Why do so many good artistes die young?

I think the reason why a movies like this affects our psyche so much is that it reminds of a lost dimension - one where having a good time did not mean having loads of $ to spend on flashy things, how you looked did not matter much, feelings were genuine and people worked hard and talked about re...

I love this song. Sometimes, I feel that the original singers don't always give the best rendition. Ex. Fields of Gold (Sting)....I prefer Eva Cassidy's version. Likewise, for The Rose, I prefer Emi Fujita's version.

Saw this movie just after high school and loved it then. Now, 35 years later that music haunts me....it is more meaningful to me now than it was before. It is true that "..there is a Summer of '42 in everyone's lives....." Love Michel Legrand's and also Francis lai's music!

In order to understand Virginia and appreciate her you need to understand the circumstances and prevailing attitudes towards intellectual women at that time. The movie is a small snapshot of her complex life. It is a pity she died so early.......such a mental heavyweight.....................she w...

Sad song; dad n I never really saw eye-to-eye on most things. Had a "strict" upbringing and I resented much of that. Now, as a parent myself, I reflect on how much he put up with (5 mouths to feed on a small wage working so far away and infrequent visits) and what he did for us. I loved my father...

Probably one of the best of all-time songs ever written and still manages to evoke many emotions to this day. For an artist who stayed true to his calling (not painting what people wanted) and suffered financially and emotionally for it, this song is a great tribute. What is even more tragic is t...
