Richard Harris, My boy

Yes, Elvis recorded this song too. But he never gave it the feeling that Harris did. True to say that technically, Harris was NOT a singer but I always believed every word he sang because he felt the song. And that is so important.....

I used an online translator for adnangold's comment. It reads thus:

A magnificent interpretation from a human.

Qué maravillosa es la tecnología. Yo "descubrí" a Richard Harris a finales de los ´90, cuando vi por accidente The Field en la televisión. ¡Sin estos registros nunca hubiera podido ver un video suyo como cantante! Fue un artista lleno de talento y pasión.

@vanesselen Translation: What wonderful is the technology. I "discovered" to Richard Harris to  ends of ´ 90, when I saw for accident The Field in the television. Without these records he could never have seen a video of his as singer! He was an artist full of talent and passion.

excellent version of the song and full of emotion but then Harris was an amazing actor.

ITS BEAUTIFUL, Richard sung it so beautifully with feelings. I agree

@Startreknot To Startreknot: you have posted so much Richard Harris material that I have not seen before. Thank you Did you post a trck from Little Tramp a while back ? I though I saw it listed but I never had the chance to play it. I think I have found some rare RH tracks that have not been on YouTube. Is there any way I can communicate details of these to you ?

Je ne connaissais pas le talent de chanteur de Richard Harris et c'est dommage. Je le découvre au hasard de l'émission radio de Marc Danval, "La troisième Oreille". Quelle émotion !

@Startreknot Nice comments from you....the singer must sing from the heart..

Would you be kind enough to listen to my song: Roberto Gennari/This Crazy Heart. Turn up your volume and listen to my heart.... Roberto

Why when a song that Elvis recorded do Elvis fans (and i'm a huge Elvis fan and a ETA) always have to knock the other version i've never heard this before and its fantastic! Richard Harris sure had an amazing way of putting over a song with true emotion. Great actor and a dam fine singer too

@georgegleek Try this is where I came in, that end note is a killer. I'm a singer and boy , even I can't get that !!

[georgegleek]

@RichardElden : omg ...

[djienoh4691]

ok, nice try, .... but let's be honoust; nobody can perform this song like The King. Some songs have found their ultimate interpretor, so did this one, .... despite all the attemps, ...

To Richard Eden...just because you may not like Elvis doesn't mean he wasn't a great singer. There's a difference. I'm not keen on Charles Dickens' work but am quite prepared to concede he was a great writer. Elvis' record sales speak for themselves.

Really Now. This is what I have found. The internet is replete with reference to what I state here. Please read on.

SIR RICHARD ST. JOHN HARRIS was named a Knight of Malta (SMOM), despite his two divorces.

Harris was knighted by Margrethe II, Queen of Denmark in 1985, at which time he was given the name SIR RICHARD ST. JOHN HARRIS….!!!!!!
