  • Why is it called Scarlett O' Hara ??? This sounds like the theme to a Western movie or TV series (like Wild Wild West, Gunsmoke, or Bonanza)...nothing like Gone With The Wind comes to mind

  • Heard this first in 1963 and had to buy the 45. I had looked a few years back but didn't find this. It is wonderful to see it performed. Never cared for the "champange" music but LW did great versions of the 60s instrumentals. It is a song I have never gotten tired of hearing over the last 48 years.

  • Absolutely, this was one of Welk's Best instrumental songs. My friends first liked this song, Until they found out is was Lawrence Welk, then they didn't know what to think about it. They were then reluctant to admit they liked the song. Funny.

    Thanks for Posting the Video of this superb instrumental. Keep 'em rolling.

  • AWESOME!!

  • Wow, like stepping back in time listening to this.

  • @samson970 ...former Shadows member Jet Harris had a #2 UK hit (spring 1963) with "Scarlett..." ; in the U.S.A., there were competing versions by Welk (Dot Records) and Bobby Gregg (Epic Records). Interestingly, the song was composed by Jerry Lordan, the composer of both "Apache" and "Wonderful Land", with whom all fans of The Shadows will be familiar.  In America, Jorgen Ingman's version of "Apache" was the hit, while "Wonderful Land" went unnoticed.

  • But why is it titled Scarlett O'Hara ? With a name like that, immediately bringing to mind GONE WITH THE WIND ? This didn't seem very much like Gone With The Wind, but it is wonderful music. I adore it. Thanks for sharing. Music of the 20th century was far better than the garbage produced since the new century - the 21st began!

  • just a marvelous sound

  • Believe it or not, ol' Larry was still hitting the charts regularly in the early '60s with songs like this. Most people don't realize that he was also a big shot at Liberty/Dolton/Dot/World Pacific Records at the time, and many of the then-cutting-edge studio sounds found their way into his arrangements - electric harpsichord and Fender Bass VI (first used on "Calcutta"), and the definite Ventures influence (a Dolton act, BTW) on Neil Levang's guitar tone. One of my favorites when I was a kid...

  • I believe that Jet Harris of The Shadows did this first. Both are great versions.
