Edward Woodward - They Didnt Believe Me

[@nicolavallely8076]

Edward Woodward is THE EQUALIZER no one else

[@jamesmcquitty8875]

I saw him live once, in a Sherlock Holmes theatre production in Bromley (UK) when he played Dr Watson. A lovely chap and a great voice.

[@rosebud3971]

I am a Yank and have loved Wdward forever and to see this side of him is overwhelming/, He didn't have to make it as an actor, he could have so done as a singer.

[@chrissiesrainbow]

I love Edward Woodward ever since my childhood days when my Dad had his records. MY Dad wrote to him to tell him how much I also liked him and I received a letter back from him with some signed photos.

[@whatshisname3304]

nice

[@theuofc]

Oh, you were so lucky to get a letter and photos from Mr. Woodward!

[@anaffairwithbeautythemysti3902]

Splendid as always! Ted Woodward was such a fine actor and singer . . . and a wonderful person.

[@jamescurtis5787]

His portrayal of Breaker Morant was Oscar material. Superb actor

[@Nacho-Mamma]

His performance as Sgt. Howie in "The Wicker Man" was excellent, except for the ending which was terrifying.

[@jimlowe9259]

my hero, a legend

[@philippayne4951]

My Aunt met Edward Woodward many years ago through the British Red cross, and told me what a wonderful person he was. He done a great deal for charity, and will be sadly missed by us all. I myself never listened very much to his singing, only his acting, but must confess he sings this 1st world war song very well, and suits his talent, as a singer.

[@theuofc]

Thank you so much for telling us about Edward Woodward and his charity work. I wish that more had been aware of what a fine, fine singer he was.

[@ritacross855]

I can't help listening to Edward Woodward absolutely beautiful

[@marcusaurelius5524]

Azing man, sang music hall to perfection i met him once years ago as a butler in london probably the most gracious man ive met

[@maryroselittlewood2410]

Just had to add my heartfelt thanks to a great actor and singer. I first fell I love with Edward after being besotted by him in Challan, I as heartbroken when that 'rat' Meres killed him off. I never liked Anthony Valentine for years after and Patrick Mower but followed his career throughout. I used to watch The Good Old Days and couldn't believe his wonderful soft voice. Am now trying desperately to find CD of his albums as I can't play vinyl. Of course who can forget The Wicker Man you can't better this no wonder it's become a classic. Rest I Peace you gorgeous man, all the best to the family. Mary Littlewood Sheffield

[@Nacho-Mamma]

You wouldn't think by just hearing him speak that he had such a beautiful lush voice.

[@pcvmusic]

A tremendous actor and singer. Had the honour of meeting him a few years ago.. Will be sadly missed by many. RIP Sir.

[@annieatt]

I first heard Edward Woodward singing in the early 70's and I fell in love with his voice. I have only one album of his which I have had for over 30 years and I still play it.I still love him and his voice. My very best wishes to Edward.xxx

[@EdLuhrs]

No one will object to the posting of this song and tribute. Wonderful job.

[@PappyStu]

Rest In Peace Edward... You made life just that much more rewarding...

[@BisonAP]

I just learned something new about Mr. Woodward...Fantastic singing voice...Beautiful song! Amazing how many actors are or were also accomplished musicians, Avery Brooks, Stacy Keach, Dudley Moore, Dominic Chianese, & Micheal Moriarty are some that immediately come to mind, now I can add Edward Woodward to that list. I did an article in a jazz magazine a while back about this very thing, how I would love to have added "The Equalizer" to its' content..God Bless You, Mr. Woodward...A true artist.

[@vintagebrew1057]

I love his Edwardian LP. His charming voice really suits these wonderful old songs. Fab actor too. Thanks

[@randomdave30]

I have never heard him sing before now. He is a sensational and highly underrated actor and singer. An upcoming independant movie called 'A Congregation of Ghosts' features Edward Woodward as the historical Rev. Densham, the 'Mad Vicar of Warleggan' from 1950's Cornwall. A friend of mine attended an advance screening and describes Woodward's performance as astonishing in a role that Woodward himself has declared to be his final major film appearance.

[@showtuneful]

Great voice and great looking Englishman as well.

[@leahmellor]

My great great grandma used to sing this to me. She passed away at 104 years old, I got 18 amazing years with her. I miss her so much❤️

[@EAG46]

I didn't know he could sing. What a lovely voice he had...when I heard he died I was so sad...I LOVED The Equalizer and even got a pair of red-framed glasses like his. He will be sorely missed.

[@AvalonMorley]

Never even knew he was such a singer. Loved his acting performances, & now I so wish I could have seen him in stage musicals. He really was a great talent.

[@DK-sy2fk]

Such a sweet song, and beautifully sung.

[@jeremyholtom]

A wonderful man of many talents who took the long and winding road to success who I was priviliged to know.

[@surreydodger]

Great images of a great actor and grand singer. Sad he's gone but one to remember

[@eddiemac303]

great fellow!!

[@skichaser]

Edward Woodward would have to be on eof my favourite actors. And Breaker Morant one of my favourite films, even to this day. Still remember seeing him in Pirates of Penzace in as a 10 year old in Adelaide in the late 70's, and he cracked me up !

[@vegasdaddy17]

Fine tribute Peter...R.I.P. Edward...Great actor...Immortal in The Wicker Man...Billy...

[@jakerandall123]

He was a mega talent!

[@matthewakian2]

[@nadair2112]

For me, he will always be the Breaker. RIP Mr. Woodward.

[@oz1902]

Quite easily the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard, in my humble opinion.

[@fredbarer]

Dear Edward, I will miss you very much and so will many others I am sure. You were a great actor and singer. I do hope we will meet again.

[@ravenscar965]

Great singing from a man who as an actor was second to none.

[@wackojim]

Wow, I have always been a huge Equalizer fan, but I didn't know he could sing like that as well! Thanks for posting this! Edward, we'll love you forever!

[@maadmaestro]

Sound all rounder!...The Equalizer was him at the top of his tree though;)

[@mimilucielle]

God rest ur beautiful soul, Edward Woodward. One of the finest actors ever..

[@bardotbardo3633]

Not my type of song but Love your acting Edward Woodward. We are spending excellent nights re watching all the fantastic episodes of CALLAN & nearly at the end of the the shows now which is sad :( Wish you had made 6 7 8 9 10 .... RIP and THANK YOU you lovely man 💋

[@meliachild]

True legend...thanks for all your brilliant acting over the years especially The Equalizer my favorite t.v show of all time R.I.P

[@marcusaurelius5524]

[@zingoza]

[@seanb9901]

My arse would refuse to be wiped on this.

[@peterkar]

Wonderful. A fine voice - great enunciation.

[@anthowell]

A true gentleman - RIP

[@helmutkohl2818]

Edward you bring light to my life listening to an unbelievable voice you had.......

[@wackojim]

Thanks too for posting these rare pics of Edward in this video. Nice editing!

[@jonessm50]

Fell in love with you when you the Equalizer. Thanks for this great show. RIP

[@annavesely5404]

beautiful, absolutely splendid.....

[@Philpotts24]

Mr W used to have his own 'Light Entertainment' shows on ITV. He also did a West End Musical: "Two Cities" [which I still sing]. A splendid actor and a damned good singer.

[@theuofc]

I wish his Light Entertainment shows on ITV were still around to view.

[@scarfhs1]

Great actor, great singer. greatly missed. By the way the 5 people who disliked this video are now in red files.

[@showaddydadito2170]

Fred Smith - so you say everyone has to have the same opinion as you? No one is allowed to dislike something if you like it eh? Next step presumably is to track them down and kill them so their thoughts do not contaminate your Utopia. Puts you right up there with Kim Jong wotsit, and Saddam and all the other dictators of history.

[@scarfhs1]

In my utopia people would have a sense of humor.

[@showaddydadito2170]

Whoa there Fred! - did it never occur to you that maybe I was mining the rich seam of irony you had exposed? Did you not notice my deliberate contravention of Godwin's law in not actually mentioning the Infamous German dictator of the 1930s, nor using the abbreviated version of the name of his political party?

[@scarfhs1]

Good point, well made. Now where did I put those red file covers?

[@mcervantes362]

fred smith lol

[@Rtmax45]

He did plenty of Shakespeare, TV, Plays, and Movies and could sing. He had a very manly voice when he sings. He was great. His friend talks about him. Of course like most of us, we only remember a couple of movies and The Equalizer, but he gave us much more.

[@realtooreal]

The Voice - and the appearance. Great!

[@jackinthebox995]

I didn't know he was such a great singer. I loved him in The Equalizer. He was a super actor. Indeed a man of many talents.

[@albertdiner]

The Jerome Kern Songbook. Great song with seldom heard intro. thanks Edward.

[@barbaracovell]

bless u elo for t his its beautiful xxx yo chose a lovley song,,,,,,oh im so sad now x

[@speedbird11000]

Thanks for utube records and cds Of this lovely singer and actor Greatly missed God bless you Edward

[@SheilaB]

RIP Edward Woodward

[@jimshoesmith4as]

More happiness and joy than the usual slightly world weary singing. Shows a range of emotions.

[@kevinduffy80]

Well Said that man.

[@philippayne4951]

A great actor, who gave great pleasure to all of us. It was very sad to hear of his passing away. All of our wonderful actors are now going, that its nice to remember them all, with great affection. Edward woodwards acting was superb, and he done it so well, that he was a natural . I thought he done breaker Morant first class, and is one of his best films. He will be greatly missed by all of us.

[@mse48]

Wow! I know of Edward Woodward mostly from his superb acting as badass good guy McCall in the 1980s TV series "The Equalizer." I had no idea he was also an excellent singer. Super post!

[@keithtidswell2225]

I remember him in "Breaker Morant". Perfect in that role.

[@philippayne4951]

I fully agree with you. I think the best line he said was at the end, Shoot straight you bastards and don't make a mess of it. He really made this film. A great actor, who was superb. Very sad he has gone, and great los.

[@etyjon]

You[ll get no objections from me my friend. Well done for doing this tribute to a truly genuine nice man,

[@creative2ster]

R.I.P. the wicker man ws a classic horror film that should be watched . sympathy to his family

[@mcervantes362]

I recall the Equalizer, of course, but a Brit friend recommended Callan and hey presto I'm here listening with amazement to this lovely voice. thank you for posting.

[@donjones3824]

Brilliant!

[@jackiewalton1963]

I THIÑK hE IS LOvELY

[@77cobby]

Wow, I had no idea that he could sing! I only knew him from "The Equalizer"... This is really baeutiful and what a great voice!

[@geeman875]

nice1 eddy rip x

[@alberttatlock5237]

He use to smoke a minimum of 100 a day, some days during long days of filming he could get through 140 a day. He said that he'd sit in a chair at home and chain smoke for 2 hrs each evening and get through 30-40 In that 2 hour period. Making it to 79 was pretty good considering his legendary smoking habbit

[@whatshisname3304]

rilly

[@snelson480]

Will always remember him. Wonderfull man xx

[@ronaldkrurk3424]

He was one of the greatest performers

[@charliemctruth]

Wonderful voice, great actor.

[@michaelhayden725]

His portrayal of Harry Morant and Callum to very different but incredibly well played.

[@racoondiver]

Class.

[@mimosaschneider9016]

Always a heart's treat this man.

[@johnmarquez8566]

I’m not familiar with Edward Woodard but he sang this song very nicely.

[@yorkie6687]

EXCELLENT!!!

[@jenningsware7584]

Beautiful!

[@redgringrumboldt8983]

Sgt. Howie all the way! RIP Edward Woodward!

[@charlesg05]

I wish someone would upload all the other songs on this album

[@joannab.763]

OMG! I had no idea he sang!!!!! Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! I loved him in The Equalizer!!!! I'm watching the series now. Wow I had no idea!!! (Black Woman, not that it matters, but yes, I know of him!) Miss him!

[@Paulol100]

I Miss him RIP wonderful actor.

[@locandaitaliana]

this is gran bell'uomo very good artist

[@leisterverner5211]

Didn't know Edward was a singer as well

[@jamessmith530]

Seen him in Australia live at Newcastle nsw

[@scorpiowatertiger]

I agree with overopensights: this version must sound close to what Kern intended on stage in 1914 - perhaps the first musical theatre ballad in "4/4" with a modern sensibility both melodically and lyrically. RIP, Mr Woodward.

[@bingcro]

sirbasildebrush let me tell u he is a wonderful singer,especially singing old music hall songs

[@kunigundiful]

JUST WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! kunigundi....

[@lanzanut]

Wow! never knew he could sing, only ever heard the Mario Lanza version prior to this. LIke many posts I only knew him as an actor on the Equalizer.

[@overopensights]

This compares so well with other famous singers who have done this; better I think for this song than Sinatra or or Dean Martin. I think Woodward sings it as Kerns intended it should be sang.

[@marcludford591]

There was a good film. Of callan came out in 1974 In one episode a character patrick mower played was bumped off shot on a roof

[@megansspark]

marvelous! :)

[@ther51]

R.I.P. M8 !!!
