Just a guy in his 20s from the other side of the world who fell in love with classic movies and songs and here I am after watching one of the most underrated flim of the 70s.
My favorite Marlowe movie. Not because of the story, but because of Elliott Gould. Listening to this music i can imagine Marlowe running after Eleen's car and she enjoy ignoring him completely. However, he took his sweet revenge in the end and we are left satisfied when she drove to meet Terry and he played his harmonica dancing merrily down the road.
This is perhaps the best I have heard from John Williams - all his other mainstream megahits notwithstanding. Apart from loving the film and this track, I absolutely adore Williams’ imagination the whole picture throughout - as he plays with various versions of this song, now heard by Marlowe on the radio, then played by some piano player somewhere at the bar. Magnificent work
heard a few words sung by Jack in the background of the film, "The Long Kiss Goodbye" at 32:56, and immediately knew it was Sheldon....so soulful and distinctive!! came here to hear the whole piece....so love his trumpet playing!!! 🎺💜
Kudos to the composers - the great John Williams and the even greater Johnny Mercer. Thank you, gentlemen. Jack Sheldon has a voice that gets into your soul. My favourite line: "What do I need a cat for, I've got a girl!" (supermarket clerk).
Absolutely and totally fabulous. I recently saw The Long Goodbye on the big screen for the first time and I'd forgotten the song. It's one of John Williams' finest and the way it's used in the film - performed by various artists, such as a snippet on the radio - is fantastic. Up there with Nat King Cole's 'I'd rather have the blues than what I've got' from Kiss Me Deadly, which is in some ways a similar film. Though not as similar as The Third Man, which has so many thematic similarities. And both have fantastic theme tunes.
Jack Sheldon died on Friday, and outside of his association with Merv Griffin, this was the only performance of his with which I was familiar... ...and only because, as a hardboiled detective nut, I had to see every Philip Marlowe movie ever made, including the one to which this is the title track (which features a surprisingly effective Elliot Gould as the detective). I had no idea that John Williams had written the music... I wonder if that's him doing the piano work... I have to assume, due to the miracle of sound-on-sound (thank you, Les Paul!) that, in addition to Sheldon's vocal, that's also Sheldon's trumpet-playing we're hearing. Noir, very noir.
The Long Goodbye (Performed By Jack Sheldon) There's a long goodbye And it happens everyday When some passerby Invites your eye To come her way Even as she smiles A quick hello You've let her go You've let the moment fly Too late you'd turn your head You'd know you've said The long goodbye Can you recognise the pain On some other street Two ppl meet As in a dream Running for a plane Through the rain If the heart is quicker than the eye They could be lovers Until they die It's too late to try When a missed hello Becomes the long goodbye
It's just not a very "mainstream" movie, like The Godfather. Robert Altman movies have their audience, which can be pretty "mainstream" (MASH, The Player).

Can anyone give me an album, or another song that sounds like this? So far my search has been futile. Nothing seems to match the dirty drunken soul of this number
@@legrandduca687 closest thing I've found ruclips.net/video/eKTeS_ypHYw/видео.html doesn't quite do the job, but does a slightly different job very well
Try out Babs Gonzales doing his "Lullaby Of The Doomed" or "Round About Midnight".. like Jack Sheldon he was another of the should-have-been jazz legends deemed just a little too far out for mainstream tastes.
Bet the film makers feel pretty silly making an up and coming newbie change his name to Arnold Strong... He'll never catch on LOL one ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER.
Chu It was, Elliott Gould portrayal of Philip Marlowe is basically Spike, the hair, the personality, even the suit... And Cowboy Bebop has some noir elements and the jazz is on point... The Long Goodbye is definitely a major inspiration.
It was released in 2012 as a limited edition of 1,000 and reissued in 2015 and is still available. Order direct from Quartet Records otherwise expect crazy prices on the used market.

and the most stylish film of all time
A near-perfect movie in all respects.
Hello how are you doing today
@@larrymarsh297hello how are you today
RIP Jack Sheldon. Nov. 30, 1931- Dec. 27, 2019. No bad good-byes.
No bad goodbyes for Sheldon. But it was a long goodbye nonetheless.
Wow finally watched this movie. Tarantino and PTA owe a lot to this.
As well as the Coen Brothers
PTA is the spiritual successor to Altman imo
So does Chinatown, I love Chinatown but I’d argue this is the better film.
Inherent Vice!!

"I even lost my cat" BANG! Best ending ever.
if you think about it twice, ihe had no right to kill a man that way
"Yeah, I even lost my cat."
Fantastic diamond, that one.
BANG
"What do I need a cat for, man? I got a girl."
@@richardenglish2195he’s got a girl. I got a cat
I can' STOP listening to this one.

Nothing says goodbye like a bullet.
yes and it is a long goodbye indeed

Underrated Altman and underrated Williams
Underwatched, maybe, but I think it's quite highly-rated amongst current critics and others. So, I'm gonna say you're wrong.
Not by me
Underwatched Gould too
Just had the chance to witness this masterpiece
heard a few words sung by Jack in the background of the film, "The Long Kiss Goodbye" at 32:56, and immediately knew it was Sheldon....so soulful and distinctive!! came here to hear the whole piece....so love his trumpet playing!!! 🎺💜

My God, how many tunes did Johnny Mercer have in that brain of his ?
my favorite line: "that's you, marlowe. you're a loser."
"yeah, i even lost my cat." BANG!
He’s got a girl, and I’ve got a cat. That’s all right with me.
little known and underrated John William's score - but my all time favourite. Also, what a film!
Awww, Jack Sheldon. So great to happen upon this.
Hello how are you doing today
It's okay with me
Even lost my cat!!!
To those who experienced the long goodbye as well as the quick hello. Happy and less happy times
John Williams was cooking with this
Rest In Peace Jack Leonard. I only got the chance to see him once, in Atlantic City, with Diana Shur. Great show. Great musicians.
what amazing song this song made me believe in past lives .It created a very familiar sensation in me like a past memory..
Mark Rydell was an amazing villain ...WOW ... Explosive ending

The best version of this song
The Long Goodbye (Performed By Jack Sheldon)
There's a long goodbye
And it happens everyday
When some passerby
Invites your eye
To come her way
Even as she smiles
A quick hello
You've let her go
You've let the moment fly
Too late you'd turn your head
You'd know you've said
The long goodbye
Can you recognise the pain
On some other street
Two ppl meet
As in a dream
Running for a plane
Through the rain
If the heart is quicker than the eye
They could be lovers
Until they die
It's too late to try
When a missed hello
Becomes the long goodbye
Jesus Era Barman Do you know the chords to this song?
This is one of the little-known works of the great John Williams.
If the film had been more successful, perhaps it would be better recognized.
Jesus Era Barman It is. This film is one of the best in history.
is it Elliot singing? It’s so 70s
It's one of the most influential films of the "New Hollywood" era.
But yeah, it is not recognized by the wider masses.
@@sircopperfield7420I'm glad I am not a wider mass😅
I remember this movie. Very Nostalgic.
"Conjunction Junction what's your function?" For those who remember, same vocalist :-)

Hello how are you doing today
@@larrymarsh297 ahhaha
One of my all-time favourite Movies ever!
a classic film theme.
why don't more people know this fantastic film (neo)Noir
great L.A. movie
It's just not a very "mainstream" movie, like The Godfather. Robert Altman movies have their audience, which can be pretty "mainstream" (MASH, The Player).
It got mostly bad reviews when originally released and wasn't in theaters for long. Now it's a well respected film.
Favourite Marlowe movie of all time.
Arnold Schwarzenegger made an uncredited appearance as Marty Augustine's bodyguard.
Great film about the danger of Coke
@@jean-louisberlatier3433"That's someone I love, and you I don't even like."
Great song & great movie
It's ok with me.
the only worthy compliment
John Williams squandered his genius for millions. Good for him.
A good movie and a good soundtrack. It will takes a very long time to say a decent and final "Goodbye" to a close friend
This song tempts me to smoke, it's weird.
BaNDiNi that's cos elliott Gould makes it look so damn pleasurable and attractive in the film I think.
ditto
Marlowe smoked a pipe in the books. It's what got me started on the pipe smoking habit, aged 16!
@@Londonfogey no way lol .. how do you feel about that? Looking back
@@Londonfogey do you still smoke? I’m contemplating trying to stop smoking weed

Dedicated to Dan Blocker who had passed away a year before this movie was released.
it was chandler's elegiac description of a literary figure as much as anything that gave it character.Eliot Gould of course was magnificent.
This song always makes me sleepy

To think this is the same guy who did the Star Wars Theme! It’s pretty amazing
The writer for this movie also wrote The Empire Strikes Back. She was a pretty cool lady.
And who could forget the theme to the TV series FLIPPER?
@@EndOfTheUniverse Leigh Brackett also worked on Rio Bravo and wrote an episode of "The Rockford Files".
LOVE JACK!!

Classic song.
Nice. Few folks know this side of Williams. Or, say, "Images".
Great movie 🎥

Awesome!
why can’t I find this version on any music streaming platform?
MASSIVE Cool............

Great movie. Anyone know any other artists like this?
Fabulous 👌

Is the guy that sings this song from School House Rock?
Yes he is!

Large Monster go to any night lounge and listen to the pianist 10 minutes before it’s 4am closing
Try out Babs Gonzales doing his "Lullaby Of The Doomed" or "Round About Midnight".. like Jack Sheldon he was another of the should-have-been jazz legends deemed just a little too far out for mainstream tastes.
Jack Sheldon was in a couple of episodes of "Dragnet" for comic relief.
Why isn't this soundtrack available to buy!?!?! TAKE MY MONEY iTUNES!!!

Is that Arnold Schwarzenegger at 1:30:50?:)
Yes

Bet the film makers feel pretty silly making an up and coming newbie change his name to Arnold Strong... He'll never catch on LOL one ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER.
great movie. very killer
the first thing that came to my mind is Cowboy Bebop
He looks like Spike a lot in this movie, even shares a bit of his attitude.
Just saw the movie and i had the exact same reaction !Even in the firsts scenes
I always wonder if this movie wasn't an influence for Cowboy Bebop.
Chu It was, Elliott Gould portrayal of Philip Marlowe is basically Spike, the hair, the personality, even the suit... And Cowboy Bebop has some noir elements and the jazz is on point... The Long Goodbye is definitely a major inspiration.
Cowboy Bebop is Noir, this is Noir.
You hear the Billy Holiday modulations in his voice?
Movie is so good
Over the garden wall sure took an inspiration from this.
Marlborough!!! “You know I got to say it. I don’t really want to, in light of your profession, but… You’ve got a pretty good face.”
I can imagine this being sung by Kurt Elling.
Yeah, Sheldon was doing the Kurt Elling thing long before Kurt Elling!
@@sebastiannai4381 Hmm, now how do I contact Kurt Elling?
What it says at the end of the song at minute 2:57?
Thanks !!
Yeah I even lost my cat 🐈
'' Yeah, I even lost my cat. ''
The vocalist sounds like Mo Bassi from Bosch: Legacy!!! Music for midnight pancakes at Du-pars
"I'm just a bill?"
was he Mr. Bill from School House Rock...?
yes
