TELSTAR the song is both truly epoch defining, and strangely timeless, all in one. It stands as a welcoming gateway to a bright beckoning future and to a BRAVE NEW WORLD.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was born this year and im from sweden CONNY (male)

Could listen to this song all day. So I did.

Superb power... it is not just about American composers.

What is this ??? Can someone explain please ?

This is a year before I joined The Grassroots Tracy- my first showband- Nice one .

Great, great song by Rick. Almost a valedictory song for when he left us 11 years after this came out.

Moving!🇮🇪💚☘️

Divine

remember walking home on a Saturday night with dave ,harry and myself singing this after we had a bottle of QC plonk between us

Beautiful.

Old school cant be beaten

I have this fantasy - I'm up on stage ready to announce the greatest film of all time thinking it's Stanley Kubrick's 2001 Space Odyssey and I blurt out Rocky Horror Picture Show! (It's in my top ten)!

It's in my top ten of flicks. The first is 2001 a Space Odyssey

It's one of the most underrated movies of all time. 2:37

Fantastic score from the late great john Barry total respect for the zulu people and from a time when Britain had balls of steel

You have four different decades mashed together like they have anything to do with each other.

This just popped up. When I lived in Port Townsend, this was the feature piece at a wedding - and it was all so true :)

Takes me back to my ancestors from the real Greenland.

Nigel Green. What an actor. Went too soon.

Good song save the last dance for me 🇮🇪👍

To those younger among us...all you need to know about the most senseless war in our history is that this song was written about it.

MAUREEN O'HARA 'DANNY BOY' 1962 (The Quiet Man) A great rendition of "Danny boy" I can't though recall it being sung in the movie "The Quiet Man".

June 2024 and I just had to play this song again a few time. P.S just remembering a local DJ always turning it up to full volume on "let them gossip all they want, she loved us and she raised us". Which was probable very personal for him...

This was a magnificent western. Richard Harris was superb------better than Leo!

This is so beautifully sung!

🌹🙏 Dankeschön 👁️🌹

I was born the same year that Telstar was launched. I have been lucky enough to see and benefit from the advances in communications technology since then.

I was 13 in 1968. I would have sworn O. C. Smith was a one hit wonder with "Little Green Apples", then I was reading his Wikipedia article and lo and behold they mentioned this song. "Oh of course!" -- I'd forgotten all about it. Great 60s soul.

A great song, I had never heard this recording before.

Something about it stirs the heart, makes you think/feel bravery, adversity, but ultimately the power the British once had

Joe Meek was an audio adventurer. Legacy lives on.

I am 75 years old and this song still sends shivers down me ! What a mother these poor 14 children had !!!the only other singer who would have been able to make this song talk would have been Elvis .OC Smith had a smooth golden voice!

I just watched the Movie last night great movie

The King Clark Gable

Voyager1 being 47:years old and reconnected to ground control brought me here. Memories of listening to it on vinyl played through a wood cased record player at my grandparents house brought a tear to my eye. ❤

I love this theme. I saw this movie at the cinema with my dad, uncle and cousin. I loved it. Brilliant movie, Stanley Baker and a very young Michael Caine were both brilliant in it. I was only about 14 at the time and I didn't think I would like it as I thought it was more for men's tastes with it being a war film but as I said before I ended up loving it. I have watched it many times since on tv and I have it on DVD. I love history maybe that's why I loved it and I learned a lot from it.

For my grandmother Kathleen ❤️ May she rest in peace

The mother had to do what she had to do to care for her kids. She was a hell of a woman. Mr. O.C. Smith is simply great !!!!!!!!

This great singer is from my hometown and was always a fantastic singer. Did all sorts of community charity events for local communities. Still one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

Beautiful

An absolutely beautiful rendition of a fantastic Irish ☘️ song. Superb! From California

Allyn Ferguson was highly underrated as a TV and film score - I regard his score of 'Les Miserables' from 1978 as his best....

wow this is great
