The young ladies are loverly. No piercings, tattoos or purple hair. And the music of course is fantastic.During this time I looked forward to the Awards. I was 22. Those days are but a distant memory.

Love to hear this wonderful song on the piano thanks so much

[@lizarevilla7467]

Extraordinaria pieza musical. Hermosa y sublime ❤

[@Ann-st8et]

Powerful.

[@TimothyStapay]

A fabulous video! First time I've ever seen it. I would bet that in 1967, a lot of piano students in America were learning this song and wanting to play it just like Roger Williams!

[@arthursteven5601]

They should have had matt monroe singing it on stage

[@antoniobondi4244]

Oh my God... 1967 is magic year. This is the famous music of 'Elsa' in Italy. Around 1975/77. Compliment for this magnificent version So harmonic the Choire and hall the orchestra..

[@shawnmcculley2995]

Fantastic!! And people wonder why I dwell in the past. WELL DUHHH!!!

[@Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@shawmcculley2995, don't worry, I live in the past with you! I can't help it! The music was actually music back then!

[@shawnmcculley2995]

@@Beautifulmusiclistnr Not only Roger, but that chorus did an insanely wonderful job. Wish I was there to see it and hear it in person. I was about 10 mos. old when this was taped.

[@Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@@shawnmcculley2995 I agree Shawn, the chorus was outstanding. They are all beautiful and classy!

[@sandraruff4403]

This song Born Free touch my heart. And the movie.

[@janethu9169]

It was sang by the man with golden voice : Matt Monro! Theme song of the movie with the same title. A beautiful picture in Afirica made yearago

[@Nigelpreece]

Lets not forget just for a moment who wrote this, the name's Barry . . . . . John Barry.

[@gabrielhalston6726]

Incredible!! I loved the arrangement and orchestration, just beautiful!!!

[@Tawroset]

Yeah! Attack that piano!! I do love this song. Great movie.

[@Beautifulmusiclistnr]

Magnificent! I have not just one Born Free sheet music, but I have two of them as recorded by Roger Williams. I'm going to be practicing it again starting this week. I just love Born Free!

[@JohnAranita]

He's just pounding the keys!! Wonderful!!

[@jamesmonroe7903]

I remember hearing Roger Williams’ version of this legendary John Barry classic on the radio when I was a kid in the late 1960’s-it was played a least once a day by WRTH Radio in Wood River,IL-right across the River from my hometown of St.Louis-WRTH was my Mom&Dad’s go-to station for the standards back in the day-I had never heard of the classic film this tune was written for until a few years later when it first appeared on TV-it was introduced on CBS by none other than Dick Van Dyke!!! When TV had CLASS!!!

I've loved the song "Born Free" all my life, and I've loved the movie and the TV Show, and I've heard the song "Born Free" as many times as I've heard any song in my life. It has always, and it will always, stop me in my tracks! And the winner is............ kzbin.info/www/bejne/kICWeWt4jrqSpZo "Born Free"! Again, it's just a magnificent song!

[@JoeDoe2]

So who did the arrangement?

[@RogerWilliamsMusic]

Roger wrote his piano arrangement and the orchestra by Ralph Carmichael 🎼 You can see more details on his albums listed in the "Releases" section of our channel.
