Snowy White - Bird Of Paradise (HQ 1080p HD Upscale)

Snowy White (born Terence Charles White, 3 March 1948, Barnstaple, Devon) is an English guitarist, known for having played with Thin Lizzy (permanent member from 1980 to 1982) and with Pink Floyd (as a back-up player; he was first invited to tour with the band through Europe and the United States, in 1977, and during The Wall shows in 1980) and, more recently, for Roger Waters' band.

He is also known for his 1983 solo effort "Bird of Paradise", which became a UK Singles Chart Top 10 hit single. The single became White's biggest hit, peaking at #6 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1984, remaining on the chart for 11 weeks. The song was the only single released from the album, and is White's signature song.

The song has featured on various compilations of White's material, such as Goldtop: Groups & Sessions '74--'94, Pure Gold and The Best of Snowy White. It has also appeared on general compilations, such as Now That's What I Call Music II. White performed the song on the BBC Television show Top of the Pops in 1984.

British radio DJ Steve Wright described "Bird of Paradise" as "one of my favourite songs of all time", after playing the song on BBC Radio 1 during its run in the charts.

I had a good quality vob file for this upscale so after removing the top layer of fizzy grain, I only had to tackle the noise that was hidden underneath. This required just one more pass. Color and lighting has been tweaked to add richness as it was just too bland. Some detail enhancement and sharpening has been done in the scale to HD resolution.

Audio was in stereo from the original file but it was a bit dull. It was also plagued by a few distortions so I decided not to use it. So I have edited and time compressed a much longer digital audio file to fit the running length of the video. This new stereo track has also been tweaked in my sound studio to give it richness and depth.

This is the best quality online for this great video and song from so many years ago and I hope you enjoy it! :-)

Be aware that some evil people will download my clip restorations, upload them to their own channel and then try to take credit for my hard work. They will even go so far as to say I stole it from them! What goes around comes around and they are storing up some very bad 'karma' for themselves. While I do not own the rights to the music or the videos themselves it is my hard work in restoring these old gems for your enjoyment that is being compromised by any such attempts at smearing my reputation. If you spot these people then let them know that you are aware that they are nothing but liars and losers.

...yes I have Hear 'n Aid... it will appear on my channel sometime. It has been added to the bottom of a very large list of requests, and because of that I cannot give you a time frame. I hope you always enjoy my channel and thank you for your feedback.
