I believe that White Horses placed no.1 and Rupert no.7. best childrens theme tunes. I am truely honoured and humbled by it all. To be remembered by so many fans after all this time is very heart warming to me. Thank you so much for your comment. Jackie Lee.
I'm Jamaican. I got a teddy bear as a gift on Christmas Eve in 1973. I named him "Rupert" and have him in my bedroom to this day! I didn't know why I did so until I chatted with a man online earlier this week. We were talking about his daughter's discarded teddy bears, and when I told him about my Rupert he told me tht he had a Rupert and a Paddington. I was floored at this and decided to look up the name "Rupert the Bear" online a few minutes ago... Look where I am now! This is AMAZING!!!
Hi there, thank you for your comment on this video and of course Paul without him I would never have seen the TV clip of me singing Rupert. Jackie Lee.
I cannot tell you how much your voice brings joy and happiness and memories of being just a kid. Thank you a million times over from a 52 year old guy. 🥰
im 53 and have become hardened by this shitty world . hearing this brings a tear to my eye and takes me back to a time when everyone was polite , respectful and the world was a happier place
Well said....my sentiments as well. The past was a different world in more ways than one. People didn't have a lot but they seemed happier and more content....when did you last hear anyone whistle?
Not really, the 70's were brutal for many with the only escape from the harsh reality was shows like this. Return to the 70's...naaa mate, life was hard.
@UGSB12 Your not of the cloth are you? I never thought in my wildest dreams that people would still be talking about about Rupert the Bear. I must say I am honored to have been asked to record it. I think that having a hit with White Horses did help. All the best, Jackie Lee.
Rupert,black beauty,Robinson Crusoe,The flashing blades ,Foly foot,white horses,champion the wonder horse , Zorro , and many many more .What a time to be alive .
Jackie Lee Never got the True Recognition her Magical Voice Desserved ! Matched Only by The late Karen Carpenter. Although, I think Jackie has the edge regards versatilty in different musical styles . Both her Top ten Hits Deserved to be Number One's Thank You for posting & Jackie for Singing !!
thank god for youtube, were we can drift back to our childhood, with songs like this and the wonderfull white horses song, thanks jackie, and if i may be a bit ckeeky,what a stunner you were, and probably still are
You are welcome Jackie. When I first uploaded the clip to RUclips I never expected THE Jackie Lee would take the time to comment. Just shows what a nice, genuine person you are. Thank you for being the voice of my childhood. I'm 45 but still love the song and your voice.
My father was working in London as a diplomat from South Africa remember watching and the late sixties early seventies London atmosphere Magical miss it every day iconic times Egon
What show was the clip taken from? I assume it was "top of the pops" but all kinds of shows used to have singers on and provide them with a great set and this is a fabulous set to go with a wonderful song, sung by a lovely performer with a beautiful voice.
@@felixfedre518 it was a show called THE GOMDEN SHOT hosted by BOB MONKHOUSE. There is a longer clip somewhere on RUclips with his introduction to Jackie and the song.
I am an absolute music fanatic... anything from Elvis to Run DMC to Black Sabbath... but this tune always gets me.... goes back to my 70's childhood, I just love it. Thanks for sharing.
If I'm not mistaken, Rupert the Bear was shown on Wednesday lunchtimes when I was at primary school. I remember rushing home for lunch to watch it and I always loved the fantastic title song. A shame the original Rupert the Bear TV show is not available on DVD
I remember running home at lunchtimes from playschool, singing this at the top of my voice desperate not to miss Rupert. My mum would be running after me, both of us laughing so much.. It was such a vivid memory of my childhood that I recounted it in my eulogy that I gave at her funeral. Happy happy times🙂
Am , 55 year old guy, I remember this from back then,,! Think I was 3 or 4 year old when I watched, Rupert the bear back then,, but this is the 1st time I seen the singer,,! Thanks for your upload,,,! Dam wish we could go back to being a kid again,, ! I was born 23rd May 1968,, from northern Ireland UK,, 🤝👍
Jackie Lee has a lovely singing voice, even as a child would stop to listen to the the song, nice to hear it again, if you read this Jackie, I hope you are very well, & thank's for cheering people up.
Before I started school my Mum and Dad taught me to read with the Rupert The Bear cartoons in the Daily Express and I had the annuals every Christmas. My brother even got me a Rupert calendar for my last birthday. Happy memories of a much simpler time. ❤
I loved this song as a child, although the chorus used to always make me cry when singing it. It's been in my head somewhat for over 25 years, but this is the first time hearing it again... and I burst into tears at the chorus again! :-D Brought me right back to happy, simpler times.
This reminds me of a more innocent time growing up to Rupert et al. No computer screen, mobile phone in sight. Our entertainment consisted of climbing trees, catching minnows in a homemade net. I wouldn't change my childhood for anything, I am a grandfather now. Thank you Jackie for helping me have such an awesome childhood with Rupert, badger Bill, et al. Thank you so much. 🙂
Hi Jackie I love you so much I am a big fan of yours I have a poster of you on my wall with my Rupert toy under it your are an inspiration to adults today and a new ordience of young children today x
i used to run home from school every lunch time with my gran to have my boiled egg and watch rupert. then cry my eyes out when it finished. and im now doing it again thinking about the good old days when i didnt have a care in the world... THANK YOU
Golden years and irreplaceable memories of my wonderful childhood. Surreal how I remember the lyrics immediately, as if I only just watched it yesterday!! My life has passed me by far too quickly. 😩
Great to hear this song again,it takes me back to a time when music was simple with catchy tunes and easy to understand and you can hear every word she says,unlike today’s modern rubbish. Well done Jackie.
Hi Andrew, You have such lovely memoeies to keep of you younger days, the people you have lost I am sure will forever live in your heart never to be forgotten. Jackie Lee.
Exactly, I agree with what you say about memories, I used to watch Rupert the bear with my family in South Wales, and this song always takes me back to a time when my grandmother and my father was still alive. A time when music and TV was good to watch with out too much swearing and violence. I look back on the 1970's with great affection and a big melancholy sigh that those times are gone. I'm happy with my life now also with my family, and I still got my mam and my 88 year grandfather.

This song had such a profound influence on my life as a child in the 70's before Noddy or the magic roundabout the wombles. You just don't get good quality shows like this any more where the music singing and love put into it makes something magical.
Do you know how many 40 somethings still get a tear in their eye when they hear "Rupert" & "White Horses" ? I'm sure with the thousands of comments you've had you must realise how much these two songs mean to so many people. When you reach 47, you sometimes yearn for your childhood again. If you you close your eyes and listen to either of these two songs you are there again....briefly....but definitly there again.........and for that 2/3 minutes youre 8 again, and it's lovely. Thank you.
Oh Jackie! just had a good cry at this song..reminds me of dancing round to it with my godson, ( who's 42 now) he knew all the words at two! also loved your White Horses, takes me back to my teens! you might like to know Liza Tarbuck played it on radio 2 on Saturday, and said all ladies of a certain age would have a tear in their eye, and I did...where did all those years go?
I loved The Rupert The Bear Song ,and On White Horses,only as a Adult now I know the name behind the Beautiful voice and great songs the Beautiful Jackie Lee.Thank you for these wonderful tunes,and Lasting Life long wonderful memories xxx
Yes I believe Rupert is a Legend, as he has been going for sooooooo long in the Daily Express I think from the 1920's or maybe earlier. Did you know that there is a Rupert Society that was started 30 years ago and I am now in touch with them. Amazing isn't it after this time. I am so proud to be associated with the song. Jackie lee.
Awww wonderful!! The days of innocence, where did they go..........LOL!! What a fantastic voice, and glad to know that Jackie is still around and keeping busy! xx
Such joy.....my partner have started singing this song to our dog. Lol. She is such fun 2 just like Rupert. Playing games and having fun with her friends.
Whatever about the song (which is superb!), an entire generation of women would *kill* to get their hands on that dress!!! Thank you for the wonderful memories - bless you!
You know, it's a strange thing but in amongst all the current chaos of this world there are particular moments of our past that suddenly makes you feel that actually, everything is okay again...snug and secure. When I hear Jackie sing this song, when I hear Oliver Postgates voice (narrator of Bagpuss and the Clangers etc) and of course White Horses. Thanks to Jackie and co for adding to my wonderful childhood memories. And thank you to you Paul for uploading this.
@MsJackieLee Hello again ms Lee. Yes i really do love that song. i actually read today that, in 2003, White Horses was voted the GREATEST theme tune in teleision history, and Rupert, was no. 7 in the same poll. Thats something to be very proud of, Hope you had a great weekend. , Stephen x
Every time I watch "Rupert", I think of this song... (And my mum had a dress like this - 'charming hostess' dress circa 1972 or so...) Of course there were that song about a wedding and 'Just Like a Man', but I also seem to remember something like "I've Gotta Be With You" but Jackie Lee, too...
Brings back happy memories of my own childhood in the early 70's. My Dad is 89 years old and he was a fan of Rupert when he was a child in the 1930's so shows how long this character has featured in children's lives. Anyway, nice song.
Before the invention of the internet, I always remembered a song from my childhood called "White Horses". I could remember how it went, and that it was the theme from some children's TV programme, and I could even remember who sang it.....I looked for it for what seemed like years, and now I can listen to it whenever I like!!! Wish there was a place where you could find all the old Children's Film Foundation films......maybe one day eh?!!! xx
This song takes me back to two very happy times in my life. The first was my own childhood in the 1970's. Then in the early 2000's I had my first child. I would take my daughter in her pram to the local supermarket where they had a Rupert The Bear ride outside. I would put my £1 in the machine and she would rock away to the music. Tonight, aged 14, she started singing the song out of nowhere, which prompted me to come and find it again.
What a blast from the past, i can remember buying the single from Woolworths many years ago. The theme is still a favorite of mine, even though i am nearly reaching 50. How sad is that!!!!
Just excellent! I remember watching Rupert the Bear way back in 1971 as a 6 year old! I'm sure my mum bought me a 45 single of this soundtrack! Thank you for happy times X
I'm 53 and watched this as a child the best part being the theme tune. My 3 going on 4 year old son has just fallen asleep in bed after listening to his new favourite song 'Rupert the Bear' on my phone. A very special moment.
@MsJackieLee.....I can't for the life of me remember any of the storylines to Rupert the Bear, or White Horses, but the theme tunes, now that's a different matter. In my opinion, they were definitely the highlights, and as for your voice...beautiful. It must be strange and very pleasing to still find so many people that have lasting and happy memories of what you did. Thank you so much.
I called my little boy Rupert as I have always loved the name since having the Rupert annuals in the 1970's, also in memory of a retired racehorse called Rupert that lived in a field near our house when I was a child. I found this recording on RUclips and learnt the words so I could sing it to my son and he loves it. When I play him this RUclips clip he is captivated. Thank you Jackie, your beautiful singing is still bringing happiness to children decades later.
I sang this to my little niece recently and I still have my Rupert tea set which I plan to leave her when im gone. I loved Ru so much and this song. Thanks Jackie.
I remember when they first started using this theme tune, I'd never heard anything like it on children's tv, I was about 9 at the time but still loved the series. The song set my pulse racing and seemed to promise some wonderful place. I put it down to the energy and skill it was sung with. What a great singer.
Ich bin so froh das ich das lied wieder gefunden habe,das war eine von vielen Kinder Sendungen die meine Lieblingen waren,danke danke,,,,,i am so happy that you loaded up this Clip,that was one of my favourite programms in the 70s when i was still a little girl,,thanks so much for the fun,,,be lucky,,,
Oh my goodness, thank you so much Jackie for replying. White Horses, Rupert and Watch With Mother are my first televisual memories and I still sing the first two now! They could always put a smile on my face and cheer me when I was unhappy and still can. I always loved your voice, it was so happy and friendly. I'd love to see White Horses especially again. Thank you so much again for the wonderful memories. You've made my day!
Oh my goodness, I recorded over 80 titles. and they were all on the market at one time or another. My first recording was in the middle 1950's. A few were close to being big hits. I gave up my career because of throat problems in 1974, not that I wanted but thought I had to and moved to the USA. Jackie Lee.
The same woman sang the themes to Rupert and White Horses. I'm finding this out now, 30 odd years since I watched either of them. Mind = blown. Also, Ms Lee, if I may say - you were a babe. Probably still are!
Oh my goodness, this takes me straight back to my childhood. Absolutely of its time and completely charming. Thanks very much for posting. I'm off to find Tales from the Riverbank & The Herbs now!
What a wonderful song - it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Fantastic memories - thank you for uploading and thanks to Jackie for singing it so brilliantly.
@MsJackieLee It was wonderful to receieve your message this morning ,definitely a nice start to 2012 ! Your vocals here are melodic, happy and joyous .My personal favourite is 'White Horses' which is ,dare I say it , touching on genius .I pray that God will bless you with your health and in your life this coming year.
I believe that White Horses placed no.1 and Rupert no.7. best childrens theme tunes. I am truely honoured and humbled by it all. To be remembered by so many fans after all this time is very heart warming to me. Thank you so much for your comment.
Jackie Lee.
We spoke a few years ago, always remember that.
England as it used to be. And it was good.
You were, and remain, a fantastic singer. This tune is iconic. And you delivered it!! Not many people has that on their CV!! Great job, Jackie!!
You will always be remembered Jackie by millions of people's childhoods. Such warm memories too..
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are very welcome Jackie. I grew up with your voice from the many TV shows you sang on xx
Many thanks for the happy memories you gave us Jackie.
It's a great song in its own right and you sing it so well. The bonus is it reminds me of happy times watching Rupert on television. Thanks Jackie.
Wonderful. This really takes me back!
I cannot tell you how much your voice brings joy and happiness and memories of being just a kid. Thank you a million times over from a 52 year old guy. 🥰

Same!
#This!
You're not alone.
Well said....my sentiments as well. The past was a different world in more ways than one. People didn't have a lot but they seemed happier and more content....when did you last hear anyone whistle?
I hear you Bro Pipkins was my favourite and Jo90
I am watching this with tears streaming down my face 😢 Anybody else wish they could go back in time ?
Not really, the 70's were brutal for many with the only escape from the harsh reality was shows like this.
Return to the 70's...naaa mate, life was hard.
@@if6was985Back to the 60s it is then!
Fcuk the 60s and 70s the perverts we’re disgusting and everywhere, no one ever caught the pigs
I grew up in the seventies and yes people were much happier back then.
I remember singing this aged 3 or 4 on the way back home from play school with my Mum

What a babe! :) As a child I hated the TV series but loved the music.

Thank you for these beautiful songs & memories from my childhood days.
Yes I believe Rupert is a Legend, as he has been going for sooooooo long in the Daily Express I think from the 1920's or maybe earlier. Did you know that there is a Rupert Society that was started 30 years ago and I am now in touch with them. Amazing isn't it after this time. I am so proud to be associated with the song.

Awww wonderful!! The days of innocence, where did they go..........LOL!!
What a fantastic voice, and glad to know that Jackie is still around and keeping busy! xx
Such joy.....my partner have started singing this song to our dog. Lol. She is such fun 2 just like Rupert. Playing games and having fun with her friends.
You are so right, I miss those times and that world
Whatever about the song (which is superb!), an entire generation of women would *kill* to get their hands on that dress!!! Thank you for the wonderful memories - bless you!
You know, it's a strange thing but in amongst all the current chaos of this world there are particular moments of our past that suddenly makes you feel that actually, everything is okay again...snug and secure. When I hear Jackie sing this song, when I hear Oliver Postgates voice (narrator of Bagpuss and the Clangers etc) and of course White Horses. Thanks to Jackie and co for adding to my wonderful childhood memories. And thank you to you Paul for uploading this.
Play this on my ipod. So many happy memories of lunch time TV. What a pretty girl. She's gorgeous !.
All Jackie's songs are so amazing, She's a legend.
@MsJackieLee
Hello again ms Lee. Yes i really do love that song. i actually read today that, in 2003, White Horses was voted the GREATEST theme tune in teleision history, and Rupert, was no. 7 in the same poll. Thats something to be very proud of,
Hope you had a great weekend. , Stephen x
When I was a child with my life in despair this song made me feel safe thank you jackie❤❤
Every time I watch "Rupert", I think of this song... (And my mum had a dress like this - 'charming hostess' dress circa 1972 or so...) Of course there were that song about a wedding and 'Just Like a Man', but I also seem to remember something like "I've Gotta Be With You" but Jackie Lee, too...
Reminds me of afternoons with my dearly departed father after he picked me up from school in the 70s.
Love you Dad. 😥😘
@msjackie Lee.....quite simply....And from all of us..... Thank You ..for being part of our childhood..
Brings back happy memories of my own childhood in the early 70's. My Dad is 89 years old and he was a fan of Rupert when he was a child in the 1930's so shows how long this character has featured in children's lives. Anyway, nice song.

Thank you Austin for still remembering Rupert and White Horses.

I loved Robert the Bear. This song takes me right back to my childhood ❤️❤️❤️🧸🧸
this captures a something specal childhood memorys rush back least we could go to the park ect ! better times than now runouts anyone ?
Makes me tearful for my wonderful childhood in the 70s
My wife(of 47years now)loved Sundays in the early 70s,everywhere was closed and it was so relaxing.loved those days
Thanks for playing this. It made me cry, thinking of happy times
What a blast from the past, i can remember buying the single from Woolworths many years ago. The theme is still a favorite of mine, even though i am nearly reaching 50. How sad is that!!!!
Just excellent! I remember watching Rupert the Bear way back in 1971 as a 6 year old! I'm sure my mum bought me a 45 single of this soundtrack! Thank you for happy times X
Incredible that I remember the chorus and sang along! Oh my goodness- what a childhood we had!!❤❤❤
I remember the song clearly from the seventies,it’s one of those songs that sticks in the mind.
I'm 53 and watched this as a child the best part being the theme tune.
My 3 going on 4 year old son has just fallen asleep in bed after listening to his new favourite song 'Rupert the Bear' on my phone.
A very special moment.
Same age. Same memories. 👏🏻
Before the ugly gutter snip chavs of to day !

I remember when they first started using this theme tune, I'd never heard anything like it on children's tv, I was about 9 at the time but still loved the series. The song set my pulse racing and seemed to promise some wonderful place. I put it down to the energy and skill it was sung with. What a great singer.
Ich bin so froh das ich das lied wieder gefunden habe,das war eine von vielen Kinder Sendungen die meine Lieblingen waren,danke danke,,,,,i am so happy that you loaded up this Clip,that was one of my favourite programms in the 70s when i was still a little girl,,thanks so much for the fun,,,be lucky,,,
Oh my goodness, thank you so much Jackie for replying. White Horses, Rupert and Watch With Mother are my first televisual memories and I still sing the first two now! They could always put a smile on my face and cheer me when I was unhappy and still can. I always loved your voice, it was so happy and friendly. I'd love to see White Horses especially again. Thank you so much again for the wonderful memories. You've made my day!
This song brings back so many happy memories for me when i was a kid
I wish i could go back to those days.
I am 46 years old now and I remember this well when it first came out, I still love it now. I hope you are back to full health very quickly, Jackie.
Oh my goodness, I recorded over 80 titles. and they were all on the market at one time or another. My first recording was in the middle 1950's. A few were close to being big hits. I gave up my career because of throat problems in 1974, not that I wanted but thought I had to and moved to the USA.

What a lovely uncomplicated voice, I'm immediately taken back to my childhood. Thank you Jackie.
The same woman sang the themes to Rupert and White Horses. I'm finding this out now, 30 odd years since I watched either of them. Mind = blown.
Also, Ms Lee, if I may say - you were a babe. Probably still are!
Oh my goodness, this takes me straight back to my childhood. Absolutely of its time and completely charming. Thanks very much for posting.
I'm off to find Tales from the Riverbank & The Herbs now!
I once won a Rupert annual, was thrilled.
This song has 1 of the best hooks ever. I was blessed to live through the 70's
I have just gone back to my childhood thank you jackie for this and white horses I’m 56 and shedding tears of joy
What a wonderful song - it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Fantastic memories - thank you for uploading and thanks to Jackie for singing it so brilliantly.
This was the first programme I ever saw on the first TV we had.

I loved this song, played it endlessly on our record player. Wonderful memories of childhood innocence. Thanks +MsJackieLee
Why did children's TV shows have such great tunes. Stingray, Follyfoot, Thunderbirds etc?
