THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO OF HENRY'S REAL CHOIR I'VE SEEN AS I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE THE FIRST FEMALE SINGER WHO SANG "MOON RIVER" AS I JUST LOVE HER VOICE!
Sorry to disappoint. The choir you see here, on a BBC-tv recording made in London, isn't the same one that was used on the original Moon River recording in Hollywood. That was the RCA Victor choir, (presumably session singers).
Thank you for posting this! Can anyone verify if this night's version of the Mike Sammes Singers are - (ladies) Valerie Bain, Irene King, Marian Gay, Enid Heard, Barbara Elsy, Sylvia King, (men) Mike Sammes, Mel Todd, Ross Gilmour, John O'Neill, Mike Redway, Michael Clarke & Freddie Williams (not in order). Tape variance or not, what an enrapturing slice of heaven!
Wonderful, of course, but what sounds like a poor enunciation of "...introduced me to..." (1:42) surprised me. Sounds more like 'intraduced' than 'introduced.' Yes, I know. OK. Now I feel better !😊
Thank you for post this gem!
I was just seven years and one day old when this was recorded. Thanks for sharing!
would to have like to seen this in person at the BBC. but I was only a toddler
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, from one of the best movies ever made.
I was a young teenager when this came out. I like Mancini's work. These singers are just amazing. So nice to finally see them.
A beautiful performance, spoiled slightly by the wow on the recording.
What a shame. Nice clean piece of tape otherwise. I'm betting there's a software fix for it nowadays. Amazing performance !!!
❤Spectacularly Wonderful ❤
Thanks so much for posting this. I saw Mancini and his orchestra perform in St.Louis. It was wonderful. Something I'll aways remember.
Beware ....damaged recording/transfer .... STILL, beautiful
A powerful theme for a powerful movie.

Simply beautiful.
Masterful Mancini.
Never been bettered.
Absolutely Beautiful...reminds me of my father...thank you for posting
Henry Mancini! Brilliant
Great to have this. Too bad of the tape speed variance...but lucky to still have regardless.
M-o-o m-o m-o m-o-mo!

SLICE OF HEAVEN is the proper definition
Oh dear the record is warped 😊
From souvenir. Nice song
Love ya Henry!❤❤❤
La música más hermosa que hizo toda una época para soñar en el amor más profundo del corazón.
i always wnated to know ho the backgound singers were- now I know
Great music
I HOPE THIS GREAT CIOR IS THE SAME ONE MANCINI USES IN ALL HIS SCORES??!!
Maravilhoso.
Hope a better copy of this exists. Lots of ‘wow’ in this upload. Makes me a little seasick. Beautiful performance, though.
I was wondering were the background singers voices pre recorded?
Some pitch distortion here from the record, perhaps it could be cleaned up with some software?
Anita Kerr, lead soprano.
😊🎶
Extreme right?? 😅
The lady mentioned earlier all the female singers was Anita k r e e a singer with Mancini also or am I wrong love hearing this
Há quem não goste. Não é o meu caso.
THIS SOUNDS OFF LIKE A CASSETTE PLAYER LOSING BATTERY POWER??!!
Wonderful, of course, but what sounds like a poor enunciation of "...introduced me to..." (1:42) surprised me. Sounds more like 'intraduced' than 'introduced.' Yes, I know. OK. Now I feel better !😊
Dragging audio ruins this piece.
Too bayuayuayd it is such abayubayd recording
