WHISTLE MY LOVE - ELTON HAYES (AUDIO ONLY)

[@LynKora]

This is what I think of when I think of a love song. It's simple and sweet. It struck me hard when I was very young.

[@h54h52]

Gives our age away, but this song with Elton Hayes singing brings back a lot of memories of a kinder more gentle Britain..

[@moustachmallow559]

The one ruled by Prince John? Are you kidding me? 🤣

[@h54h52]

@@moustachmallow559 No, not the Britain at the time of King John, but the Britain during the time the film was made. You were quite right in your assumption though!

Beautiful song ...whilst walking our little rescue dog this was sung regularly to her . She has now passed over and the lyrics still apply God Bless All Our Furry Friends waiting for us on Rainbow Bridge.🐶🌈♥️

Such a beautiful song, and sang by a beautiful voice, makes me ache for my husband, gone five years, but I would go to the ends of the earth to find him if I knew he was there.

[@patrickdunning9820]

Ahhh, saw this last night... lovely

[@thaaargler]

The first song I ever sang to a girl. Now that's a real memory. I didn't sing it like Elton Hayes, but she seemed to like it.

I love this song, and this man sang it the best, what a beautiful song. Brings back memories of a long ago time.

[@johnclare3695]

Lovely to hear the word gay in its real meaning.

[@TheMarcio2014]

Inspirou McCartney a escrever LITTLE CHILD, no segundo álbum dos Beatles.

[@sontruong2421]

Beautiful song😘

[@peterkane8786]

…..Beautiful and great voice…..from Robin Hood with Richard Todd.

[@Ivanhoe2]

A piece of nostalgia to enjoy from the early days of TV, when artists had style and respect for their audience. Many thanks for posting,

[@IanHawthornThain]

I used to sing this long ago, but only from memory - and with a slight modification of the lyrics at one point, as the word "gay" has now been hijacked from the English language. Much thanks to the OP for uploading it for us to enjoy again.

[@dewiwilliams2313]

Loved the film when I was a child and found this song so romantic! (ten year old!)

[@tiggywinkle20]

Nobody has said this is Elton Hayes and what a fine singer he was. There is a two cd available and it is excellent.

[@ynottiaw]

Great to hear this after so many years.

My God!!I get so Nostalgic when I hear this Song!!!Beautiful!

[@janetpotter9851]

about the best, simplest song ever, sung beautifully,, and so nostalgic.. i can listen to this over and over .

[@odessa108]

Hey, the movie, The Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men which this song comes from is about to be released by Disney April 26, 2009. It's a great flick and hasn't aged a bit.

[@Pantherandpolitics]

Just lovely and thanks for uploading.

[@ScottMartinD]

McCartney says he stole a line of lyrics from this tune for the song "Little Child", but he definitely swiped some of the melody too, like at 1:19. I hear a little of _I'm Happy Just to Dance with You_ in there too, in regards to melody. [2:17 reminds me of another Beatles tune, but I can't quite put my finger on it, yet.]

[@marioquesopage]

The 2:17 could be "a world without love"? not performed by the beatles but written by them

[@ScottMartinD]

@@marioquesopage You nailed it!

[@DJFernandezF]

I've just read that Lennon and McCartney got inspired by this song to write Little Child. I think they actually borrowed part of the tune and made a nice rocker of it.

[@ktcarl]

+David Fernández Which part did they borrow I wonder?

[@DJFernandezF]

+ktcarl Hi there. This is the quote from Paul McCartney (Many Years From Now, Barry Miles) "'I'm so sad and lonely' [from Little Child], that little bit came from a line: 'Whistle, my love, and I will come to thee, I'll always find you'. It's actually not the same tune, but in my mind it was a quote from Elton Hayes." . I think the "I'm so sad and lonely" bit and the "I'll always find you" one are fairly similar indeed.

[@robertoponce8077]

That sort of sincere statatements by Paul in this case, helped to create the aura of trust between The Beatles towards their fans, but also shows how broad are Paul's knowledge in pop music, if he'd had been there when George Harrison recorded "My Sweet Lord" Paul surely would had notice the similirarity with "He's so fine" as he did with John's "Come Together" related to Chuck Berry's rock.

[@IanHawthornThain]

+Janet Potter If I remember correctly it was "with a rickety-tickety-tay", to rhyme with "as I go along my way". Perhaps the OP can find it for us?

Cette chanson à 2min à inspirée little child des Beatles. ❤

It was better done by George Morgan singing and Jerry Byrd on steel.
