It's strange. I've been ordering old movies the last couple of months & I got to thinking that "To Sir With Love" would be a good one. Then Sidney Poitier died. Maybe it was a hint? May he rest in peace. What a great actor with so many great movies.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Yep. I saw "The Defiant Ones" with Sidney Poitier & Tony Curtis not long ago. I hadn't seen it since I was a kid. (I'm 62) They had great actors & great movies back then. I try telling young people to give those old movies a try. They never listen. Us Old Timers don't know anything you know.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 ditto my teacher put it on during the final days of the school year i went ibto this movie having a negative view because of how old it was and never heard of it. You know a movie is good when it 180s your initial impression
Why would anyone downvote this song? If you don’t like the song, move along quietly. This is a beautiful song from a more innocent time in history,1967.
This song helps me remember the feeling of falling in love for the first time. I am 66 years old. To remember those days gives me a few minutes to time travel to a time of such innocent.
Yes this song always pops up in my head whenever I see Sidney . We are all old and we are losing everyone we grew up with watching in movies. Now I know why my mom always cried when someone like him passed away
I remember watching this movie with my mom as a kid. Now at age 59 I sit here missing mom wishing we could watch it together again. Thank you Mr. Poitier!
@@helenrigmaiden6375 wow, that's amazing. like i said in my post, i get chills and emotional. and Sir just passed away today. Did you read about his passing? Sidney Portier.
When I heard this song the first time in 1967, I was a junior high school student in Taiwan, I could only say "to Sir, with Respect" in our culture. After having listened to this song for decades, I have gradually understood and melted myself with it and am still listening to it as a retied professor in 2019. There is no greater calling than teaching--I still think so in 2024! Thanks for sharing and thank Lulu for reminding me of those great students I have ever taught at colleges/universities. Peter Chen @ Taipei, Taiwan
Dedicated to my pop Lost my Mother when I was 14...he raised a daughter on his own and if I must say so did a great job Thank you Dad RIP...miss you forever
My dad passed away half a year ago and he taught me a lot in life as any father would. I was a drinker and smoker and was always in trouble with police when I drank. Breaking things as well but until he really got to me and so I quit all the drinking and smoking and started to be more responsible and respect to myself and others. I’m glad he was able to see that I was changing and I did. Thank you dad for teaching me from right from wrong. I love you and rest in peace. (My dad was a fan of this song and the movie) :)
😮I never thought I'd would ever love again after coming out of coma diagnosed as EMOTIONAL NUMBNESS AND Unexpected trauma attacks with know NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS THIS SONG might just be to CURE ME THANX A GODZILLION OMG WOW 😲
I was in college when the movie "To Sir With Love" came out. At the time I was undecided as to my major. After i saw that movie, I declared an education major. the best decision I ever made. I taught for 44 years and retired recently. I don't regret a day.
Me too every time I hear it I think of my mom. She sung it all the time when I was growing up. She passed April 24, 2020 and I'd play this song in my car and cry my eyes out hearing her in my head singing this to me. I'm sorry, I'm crying now typing this!!
the majority of teachers that taught me in the mid 50s were complete bullies if you wernt the teachers pet or in the a stream you were out ....it breaks my heart ...needless to say to sir with love was a great inspiration to me xxx
@@mikekunz1139 Much better than right wing conservative theocrats pushing their backward religions and anti science, anti/revisionist history and other alternate facts.
This song sung by this voice melts me every time. Have I heard it a million times? Probably. Yet is fresh each time. Thank you Lulu for this gift. And when you sing "heart" you melt mine. Every single freaking time. :)
How amazing life is. I recall this grand song and the movie so well from the mid sixties. I as a young soldier saw the movie 2 Sir with love over and over. The great actor Sydney Portier has gone now. He shall live on in our 💕 hearts
It works on every level, just as you point out. The art of popular music writing and production reached a peak with songs like this imho. Those '60s years 😅
I seen To Sir With Love when it first came out in 1967 my mom took me to see it she couldn't get me out of the movie theater I wanted to see it again like the Sound Of Music.. I loved it. That was when Movies were really movies and music was real music. CLASSIC!
I was 7 years old when first this song slipped into my ears.Im 61 now and this song made me reminisce.I wasn't a teacher ,but did help build schools and colleges Still learning tho!!!
please take me back. Sidney Poitier taking a class of kids, and teaching them to have respect for themselves. guidance and a moral compass. Sidney Poitier was a great actor, and was great also in Lilies of the field. 1967.
Sidney Poitier was my favorite he was fantastic in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn we're also in that it was a fantastic movie Tracy and Hepburn are two of the best ever
Jack it's not Sidney Poitier, is the kindness of the teacher who deeply reaches these poorly educated youngsters to gain self respect and knowledge to make it in the grown up world.have you seen the other movies Blackboard Jungle? with Glenn Ford .
Oh no.... I'm so sorry that your mom is not with you any more.... but thank goodness that you can remember her in such a beautiful song 💜 Every time we remember our loved ones in the things that made them happy while they were here, it's like a loving hug that transcends time, space, and the confines of life itself 💜 Here's to your mom, and my nanna 💜💞💜
Simply Marilyn My Mom was always encouraging people. We all have our faults, all of us, but deep down my Mom was a very caring human being. God Bless her. She passed in 1995.
People fight for little things..just wish you never get hacked and live near monsters that want to take you out because you do not bow down to them. Fernmann7 pick real fights..
Part of my childhood, this Beautiful song is one of my all time favourites. I cry everytime I hear or play it. It always made me think of my of my Beautiful and wonderful Dad at the time and more so since he passed away . This song is more than just a song it has deep and true meaning also beautiful memories.
Will be played at my Funeral. Saw this Movie when I was very young..Have probably seen it 2000 times..It influenced my Grown up years as a Parent and gave me direction to Teach Unruly Young people taken from their families by the Legal System. Am retired but still have a relationship with many of them..I LOVE them ALL! I LOVE THIS SONG!
watch her performance when she was invited to sing the song on American Idol ,.one of my favorites ..google american idol to sir with love,..when i was a young i thought the song was,. To Serve with love ..HAHA much better To Sir ..that was about 1970
Those schoolgirl days Of telling tales and biting nails are gone But in my mind I know they will still live on and on But how do you thank someone Who has taken you from crayons to perfume? It isn't easy, but I'll try If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters That would soar a thousand feet high To Sir, with love The time has come For closing books and long last looks must end And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend A friend who taught me right from wrong And weak from strong, that's a lot to learn What, what can I give you in return? If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start But I would rather you let me give my heart To Sir, with love
Herd this song some thirty yrs ago after angelic dream that effected me dramatically in my life for years to come , today its complete and thanks angel n Nancy for the strenght....so today Nancy I love ❤️ Brianna , please let Me give my heart to bri with love ❤️...She Needs the real Frankie thanks real angel in heaven ❤️ thanks 😊
I so wish I could say I had a teacher anyway near this was at school..however when I went to college I had a lovely man Mr Clarke who was so great a teacher in the same ilk. He unfortunately was taken so soon, with his wife, in an horrendous car accident. 52 years later I have never forgotten him.
Thank you to that country across the pond for the gifts of Lulu, Dusty Springfield and Cilla Black. In between the three of them, they brought the moving emotion that came with timeless vocals from a time long ago. If you have an appreciation of Lulu's voice, check out Cilla Black's version of "Anyone who had a heart" and what can you say about Dusty's "Son of a preacher man". I do believe these three women set the bar pretty high for english singers. What soulful gifts they gave us. Their music is just as fine wine, as it ages it only gets better. Thank you Lulu, Cilla and Dusty. And thank you England from an American fan of amazing music.
+dustyrusty musty So can I. I remember hearing/playing it the summer before I started 7th grade. Several months later, when we had the talent show at school, a girl lip-synced it. I don't know what made me think of this song recently, but hearing it again brought up so many memories of that summer. I almost felt like I was re-living that time.
+Appleholic1 Me too.One of the best songs of the 60's.Thank goodness for youtube and the people who post the songs.How else could we hear most of them again?
My wife is a teacher. She showed this to her class. They should show this film to all school kids. It has such a positive message. Kids need this kind of message now, more than ever.
I'm 14, my grandmother made me watch this movie when I was 11. At first I didn't want to watch it because of how old it was but then after I finished it. It made me more appreciate of my teachers and all adults who are guiding me. Awesome movie
This has just taken me back to my very happy time at school with my friends . The day we all left school we seemed to all go out separate ways. Making new friends at work etc… Forgetting each other . It makes me very sad . If only I knew then what I know now. Taking life for granted . Losing loved ones along the way. Life has gone by in the blink of an eye. Oh how I wish I could go back in time and do it all again. If I could I’d not be so selfish and , appreciate more what I now realise I did take for granted all those years ago.♥️
DOUG HEINS Sounds like Doug is a few bars short on his taste of music......Just kidding.. I like all the bands you mentioned, although todays music comes up shy of the creative and productive qualities of yesterdays music...That's a fact jack!! This is why most of today's songs will survive 18 months..... if that...Peace Dude!
DOUG HEINS "winewhore OD'ing was a good thing" you sound like one of those creepy guys obsessed with celebrities that you hate to the point where you truly want them dead. I don't care about their antics, people like the ISIS are people who should be hated, not some idiot celebrities like Bieber. You say today's generation listen to rubbish, meanwhile you pay too much attention than should be warranted as to what some idiot gets up to on a Saturday night. Nearly everyone in this comment chain is idiotic in any case as you're all stating your opinions as factual unaware that music like art is also subjective. Try classical music and you'll find there are many composers out there alive today who write memorable pieces still. Bye!
Harmonic shifts!! Yes!! Man...this song reminds me of coming home after celebrating my high school graduation. I turned on the radio and this was the song that popped on. I sat on my bed and cried. I graduated! Now what!?
This was one of two movies that our parents let us stay up late to watch on tv, the other was the Flim Flam Man. I can still remember all these years later how much this movie affected me growing up and how it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it, even now.
this was a very powerful movie teachers back then were able to communicate and reach out to the troubled youth-today it is much harder and todays youth are very lost-the tragic cases of school shootings today and gang violence is very scary-thank God we had teachers that were like Sidney Potier in this movie when i was growing up in the 1960' s and 1970's-i agree with you very emotional ending which should make all of us tear up
I'm a 62 year old man ….and this was when music ...was music …..

Of telling tales and biting nails are gone

I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
To Sir, with love
The time has come
For closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong, that's a lot to learn

+dustyrusty musty So can I. I remember hearing/playing it the summer before I started 7th grade. Several months later, when we had the talent show at school, a girl lip-synced it. I don't know what made me think of this song recently, but hearing it again brought up so many memories of that summer. I almost felt like I was re-living that time.
What a beautuful women with the gorgeous voice! This song was so popular in my high school
Every once in a while I have to come in here and remind everyone that there is no song as beautiful as this song
+Appleholic1 Me too.One of the best songs of the 60's.Thank goodness for youtube and the people who post the songs.How else could we hear most of them again?
+Appleholic1 It's definitely up there for me too!
+kevin heming Shes has Soul. It has always been a big favorite of mine. Since I was a wee girl. Love singing along.
+Appleholic1 Totally
the word is GRATITUDE to a good teacher of ours.
Lulu delivers the EPIC with the maturity of a seasoned veteran...oh, yes, and she was 18 when this was recorded. Stunning!!
Love this movie. One of my favorite. Sydney Potier..one of my favorite actor. R.IP...you did it.
To my deceased college History professor. Stellar human being.
I just love her voice this song brings back memories ❤️😍
My wife is a teacher. She showed this to her class. They should show this film to all school kids. It has such a positive message. Kids need this kind of message now, more than ever.
Damn. I remember me and my grandma watching this all the time. I miss her
one of my very favorite songs and movies
I loved it and she captured the story beautifully
This is to my Papi in heaven! Ty Lulu! Well sung!
I'm 14, my grandmother made me watch this movie when I was 11. At first I didn't want to watch it because of how old it was but then after I finished it. It made me more appreciate of my teachers and all adults who are guiding me. Awesome movie
Im 12 my grandma is teaching this song
Fab memories with this song. Seen the film several times. 🙂💜👍🇬🇧
This song was way before my time but I love it .
Besides GOD, we all have some kind of a teacher in our lifetime that helps us growp up with patience... one we could never forget.
Yes Maria, you have put it with the right words. Amen to that. God bless all good and kind teachers who help the kids to be useful to society .
This has just taken me back to my very happy time at school with my friends . The day we all left school we seemed to all go out separate ways. Making new friends at work etc… Forgetting each other . It makes me very sad . If only I knew then what I know now. Taking life for granted . Losing loved ones along the way. Life has gone by in the blink of an eye. Oh how I wish I could go back in time and do it all again. If I could I’d not be so selfish and , appreciate more what I now realise I did take for granted all those years ago.♥️
Such a fantastic song - I miss the days when songs had uplifting melody and variation.
DOUG HEINS Sounds like Doug is a few bars short on his taste of music......Just kidding.. I like all the bands you mentioned, although todays music comes up shy of the creative and productive qualities of yesterdays music...That's a fact jack!! This is why most of today's songs will survive 18 months..... if that...Peace Dude!
DOUG HEINS "winewhore OD'ing was a good thing" you sound like one of those creepy guys obsessed with celebrities that you hate to the point where you truly want them dead. I don't care about their antics, people like the ISIS are people who should be hated, not some idiot celebrities like Bieber. You say today's generation listen to rubbish, meanwhile you pay too much attention than should be warranted as to what some idiot gets up to on a Saturday night. Nearly everyone in this comment chain is idiotic in any case as you're all stating your opinions as factual unaware that music like art is also subjective. Try classical music and you'll find there are many composers out there alive today who write memorable pieces still. Bye!
I miss the days when a song made sense
How is this for ripping out your heart? It resonates the meaning of leaving high school for the grown-up world.
+Pat Melton You hit it right on the head---it still does tug at my heart...I liked your comm alot...cheers!
Kimberly Miller Thank you. Sometimes memories bring such bittersweet feelings. God bless you.
+Pat Melton Wanna go to the PROM?
+stephen dwyer I am not the NRA.
Montgomery Denzer Yes. This time I would have a date and not be going with my girlfriend because neither of us had dates.
These kind of songs always make me cry,tough guy ha ha
such a difficult song to sing with those harmonic shifts everywhere - and such a special song because of it
I as three years old and unilt this day l cry every time I heard this songs.
very well written and produced song
Believe it or not - I can sing it, albeit loudly - but you're right on, it is a challenge for the vocal cords.
Difficult to sing, beautifully done, and she was a teenager at the time
Harmonic shifts!! Yes!! Man...this song reminds me of coming home after celebrating my high school graduation. I turned on the radio and this was the song that popped on. I sat on my bed and cried. I graduated! Now what!?
Good music is like some gift from above
This was one of two movies that our parents let us stay up late to watch on tv, the other was the Flim Flam Man. I can still remember all these years later how much this movie affected me growing up and how it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it, even now.
Such a soulful voice. I like how she drags out the word return at 2:02. Love that violin, too.
I have a special place in my heart for this song and the movie, I just love it.
+Christopher Chipps You and I both Christopher! Cheers to that!
+Christopher Chipps I hear you loud and clear and can honestly say that the song and the movie is a classic.
+Christopher Chipps I wanted Lulu - saw her on Solid Gold many years after this was a hit - beautiful face, hair, and voice!!
+Christopher Chipps Me to....I just love this...
+Christopher Chipps i very love this song too Christopher bye
I have the DVD...I went to the same sort of school left in 1967......wonderful years!!! Especially in my hometown of Liverpool
Anyone who doesn't shed a tear at the end of this movie, check for a pulse.
this was a very powerful movie teachers back then were able to communicate and reach out to the troubled youth-today it is much harder and todays youth are very lost-the tragic cases of school shootings today and gang violence is very scary-thank God we had teachers that were like Sidney Potier in this movie when i was growing up in the 1960' s and 1970's-i agree with you very emotional ending which should make all of us tear up
