What a lovely, lovely chap is that there Captain. He has gifted of himself to the world, so, so many wonderful artworks that will embellish this here Earth.... Forever. 🤩
-
The B side starts with a wild intro, replete with dreamy, actually really brilliant, synths and a personal message from the captain himself. Charming. -
This track was sampled by Dizzee Rascal on the 2004 track Dream (XLT 204). It reached number 14 in the UK Charts. -
Wow! Was this really a hit? In the US? In the UK? This is from South Pacific.....Rodgers and Hammerstein musical...circa early 1950s?
