IF I RULED THE WORLD ......... HARRY SECOMBE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSiednkXCzM



C&P'd from YouTube
"Harry Secombe sings "If I Ruled The World" from the musical Pickwick, a song which would become his signature.

This audio only, home recording is from a 1963 Boxing Day evening (from 8.20 to 9.05pm) BBC TV show "Who Is Secombe?", which no longer exists in the TV archives. It was recorded directly from the TV on open reel 1/4 inch tape at a speed of 3.75 ips.

I'm pretty sure the first voice on this clip is conductor Eric Robinson, who regularly appeared on BBC TV music shows of the 60s
Harry reached # 18 in the UK charts with this song in 1963."

THE GENTLE DOVE / Y DERYN OUR (literally the pure bird) .... IVOR EMMANUEL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7u2xLHpukg


Oh gentle dove, with pinion blue,
Fly swiftly to the maiden
Whom long I've lov'd with passion true.
A message bear love laden.
Go to her and say I'm weeping,
One hope in my bosom keeping;
Tis to meet her fondly greet her;
Yet if her love I fail to waken,
May Heaven forgive her all the pain
She gives this heart forsaken.

With heart so gay on happy day
I walked with step so sprightly,
The fairest maid I ever saw
Came tripping there so lightly.
On her beauty so amazing,
All transfixed I stood there gazing,
'Mong the fairest she seemed rarest,
Her smile did shed around fresh beauty;
She shone an angel to my view,
To love her was but duty!
