I'm Jamaican. I got a teddy bear as a gift on Christmas Eve in 1973. I named him "Rupert" and have him in my bedroom to this day! I didn't know why I did so until I chatted with a man online earlier this week. We were talking about his daughter's discarded teddy bears, and when I told him about my Rupert he told me tht he had a Rupert and a Paddington. I was floored at this and decided to look up the name "Rupert the Bear" online a few minutes ago... Look where I am now! This is AMAZING!!!

Exactly, I agree with what you say about memories, I used to watch Rupert the bear with my family in South Wales, and this song always takes me back to a time when my grandmother and my father was still alive. A time when music and TV was good to watch with out too much swearing and violence. I look back on the 1970's with great affection and a big melancholy sigh that those times are gone. I'm happy with my life now also with my family, and I still got my mam and my 88 year grandfather.

I called my little boy Rupert as I have always loved the name since having the Rupert annuals in the 1970's, also in memory of a retired racehorse called Rupert that lived in a field near our house when I was a child. I found this recording on KZbin and learnt the words so I could sing it to my son and he loves it. When I play him this KZbin clip he is captivated. Thank you Jackie, your beautiful singing is still bringing happiness to children decades later.

Do you know how many 40 somethings still get a tear in their eye when they hear "Rupert" & "White Horses" ? I'm sure with the thousands of comments you've had you must realise how much these two songs mean to so many people. When you reach 47, you sometimes yearn for your childhood again. If you you close your eyes and listen to either of these two songs you are there again....briefly....but definitly there again.........and for that 2/3 minutes youre 8 again, and it's lovely. Thank you.

A wonderful theme for a memorable show. Went out and bought the DVDs for Jackie's music on the strength of the idea that if her children's songs could stick in the mind of a 1 year old who barely smiled and found little joy in life other than Rupert, she's more than earned my thanks and I was curious to hear the rest of her music. I was not disappointed. A truly remarkable singer for a remarkable era.

This show in this era is why we named our son Rupert when he was born in 2013. I was a little boy when Rupert the bear was on tv. I adored it and treasure it to this day. Our Rupert is now 6. He loves to hear this exact original of the song. Its such a weird feeling to see him enjoy the song so much because he looks just like I did when I was 6 and loves it and gets excited to hear it like I did. Such a special song to me and our boy. And yes of course....he has a Rupert the bear plush toy he sleeps with every night. Jx

This song takes me back to two very happy times in my life. The first was my own childhood in the 1970's. Then in the early 2000's I had my first child. I would take my daughter in her pram to the local supermarket where they had a Rupert The Bear ride outside. I would put my £1 in the machine and she would rock away to the music. Tonight, aged 14, she started singing the song out of nowhere, which prompted me to come and find it again.
