    What a funny, talented and beautiful man he was. So tragic he died so young. Loved him in Bedazzled, 10, Arthur 1 & 2 and Like Father, Like Son. RIP you amazing and charming man! My favorite is LFLS when he calls sick to work, ::"Hi Norman this is Chris is father Dr. Hammond, I won't be coming gin today because I have 120 hour flu and a slight case of larynges, please advise all my calls to Dr. Roger Howmeir."

    so sad I heard an interview with him just before he died where he said that he had wasted his life and that he should have concentrated on his music such a tortured person.His lecturer at oxford university said in his entire career Dudley Moore was the only true genius he ever taught.Musician actor comidian and all round decent human being sadly missed

      @Charlie Pepper - apologies this response is a year later but if you liked this I can recommend an album called Jazz, Blues & Moore by the Dudley Moore Trio. Basically, any recording of Dudley playing is blissful. I have just rediscovered him myself and am mesmerised by his talent. I can’t stop playing one RUclips video in particular, it is called Waltz for Suzy (probably written for his ex-wife Suzy Kendall, who he still adored until his death. Here’s the link to it. Enjoy!! ruclips.net/video/1wrMI7NlDvc/видео.html

    It makes me sick that we now scrape the barrel for entertainment these days. This man came from Dagenham, Essex. All people talk about is the only ways Essex! It's just a sad indictment to what people these days will except as "talent" and entertainment. It's so sad, really. This man was one of the greatest entertainers England has ever produced. He had style, character, talent, charm, brains, education, wit. Dudley Moore was the complete package. Gone, but never forgotten.

  • @senorkaboom
    @senorkaboom 11 лет назад +31

    I remember watching a TV special that had Moore on and he played jazz, pop and classical piano pieces. I was amazed at how he could go from one genre of music to another and do it seamlessly. A very gifted man, on many levels, who was taken from us too soon.

    I sense a non- arrogant Pianist that greets all adversity with a smile. and performs with beauty and a smile. Perhaps adding to his gorgeous style of play is the Romantic nature of the piece he performs. This speaks to how deep emotionally this man was. I saw an R.I.P. When did he pass & what were the circumstances? Bravo Dudley & thanks, Luckysmusic

    How we miss the enormous talent of Dudley, great actor of comedy and drama, exquisite composer and pianist, a very complete artist. All the works he did were of great quality. Sad was the way his illness ended his last days. It would be widely deserved that from time to time tribute be paid to him for everything he offered in his multiple artistic betas. My most recognized memory towards his person.

  • @ViolaGirl2008

    Did you hear U.K.'s Radio 2's replaying of the Albert Hall concert?
    It was on, Friday evening, 2nd of March, 2012 ....
    so funny, after the first short pieces, he said, "Right, I'll be off now, then..."
    The 'Bedazzled' medley was unexpectedly lovely...
    But I was delighted to hear it all end with "Die Flabbergast" : what a genius!
    Dreadfully sad, but you could do a lot worse than win so many people's hearts from giving so much music and humour.Hope he was comforted to know he was so loved.

    Dudley Moore, like Steve Martin, was always better than the movies he starred in. He was enormously talented in so many areas. He could play drama, comedy & satire, and of course music. Arthur would have been a dull movie without him. I wonder how many people cried while watching this video clip. Very touching in so many ways. Dudley Moore brought me years of happiness which is much more than my x-wife ever did. A true credit to the human race.

    Gracious me you could hear a pin drop such is the rapt attention of the audience. When his health was failing Dudley was quoted as saying it was the loss of his piano playing ability that hurt more than the loss of speech & mobility. His jazz writing & playing skills were so eclipsed by his acting & comedy roles that only those who knew him well knew of his deep love of music.In his UK TV interviews & after all the jolly banter & celebrity luvvy talk he would nearly always end up playing something moving & reflective on the piano, more often than not something he composed himself. RIP a lovely man.

As a boy he heard Errol Garner and taught himself to play like him snd that’s no mean feat. His teachers at University testify that he was able to sight read difficult pieces not only at great speed and with extraordinary accuracy but with fantastic interpretation. Vale this amazing man.

    I rarely like when a performance is embelished, but Dudley was such an extraordinary talent this rendition just polished the song even more, and like many other people tears not far away. Thank you George Weber

    He first played this 'original' piece in the movie: "10" with Bo Derek. It's called< "it's Easy To Say I love You" - he sang it with Julie Andrews. Get it - watch it. It's so beautiful and of course - Bo Derek - OMG.

    Hello to all Dudley fans! I recommend "Songs without words" cd if you don`t have already. You wont be surprised to know that its an awesome collection of Dud`s amazing melodies played his unique style... uplifting, warm and beautiful, not to mention technically brilliant...unmissable
