    Remember listening to this as I sat in my rented room as a rather lonely 17 year old in Belfast just starting work and listening to it on a tiny second hand radio that my lovely sister had given to me which she had had from the mid sixties, the casing on the back has long since disappeared and it needed a matchstick wedged into it to get it to work. Happy memories, I miss you sis.

    Up until now I had no idea what Gary looked like but I have always loved this version of the song. Watching him deliver a beautifully melancholic performance (broken only by a wistful half smile in the solo break) has just completed the picture I have had for about 40 years. So sad to hear he is no longer with us but music as good as this leaves a legacy that will never fade away. RIP Gary and thank you for music. Thanks for uploading this.

      You may remember that the violinist Graham Smith played in the band String Driven Thing. He was equally brilliant in that. I saw the band many times during 1973/74. A pity they never became famous. I'm digressing though, Gary Shearston's version of the old Cole Porter classic does justice to an already great song.

    I used to play this over and over on my personal stereo at night when I was little. It was the first cassette I had ever bought with my pocket money - 10p in a jumble sale and I've only just found him again because I had forgotten this song and his name 🤗❤️ I love the bit at the end best 🎧

    We always try to get back to those lazy summer days, cycling down forgotten country lanes, the fragrance of flowers in the warm breeze in the mid 1970's - we always try to return 'home' to those carefree times - but of course - we never can.💜💜

    All time great song and sublime version of it .
    Even further enhanced by the brilliant violin playing of Margaret Roadknight .
    That girl can play the violin just like ringing a bell !

    I've just heard this again on Johnny Walker's BBC Radio 2 show where is was being put forward as better than the original. I heard it some years ago for the first time and I'd certainly agree with that. I love this version of Porter's classic, I think it has a haunting and quite melancholic tone which surpasses the original.

    Indeed I am listening in 2024. I remember this song well when I came out in 1974 ~ I was about 10 years old. Within a few weeks there was also Ralph McTell ~ The streets of London. I think that both were covers and were at least as good as the originals ! Also that year was ‘Sugar Baby Love’ The debut single by The Rubettes which I had, which I virtually played to death before forgetting it on a French exchange summer holiday!! Why can’t we have music like this now! And ‘get a kick even has a violin in it!

      Yes - I've searched for a good version, thinking I'd find a 30's treasure, but am so disappointed with most versions including those by Sinatra and all the other big names who recorded it. The song doesn't need 'fancying up' either !

    • @helenaville5939
      @helenaville5939 Před 7 lety +4

      I think you would like Peter Skellern's version too. It's beautifully understated just like this performance. Skellern has a wonderfully nostalgic voice that really suits all the old 1930s and 1940s songs. His version of this song is here on CZcams. Some other old songs he sings beautifully are 'I don't want to set the world on fire' and 'Night and Day'. Enjoy :)
