I do apologize Sandra I never knew that song came from a film. Back of the class for me! Anyhow, the answer is "I'll Never Forget What's ' is Name".
Question..
What film is the song "Alone Am I" from?

[hpooch]

Sandra - Tippi Harden's name in the movie was "MARLA" - Not "MARIA"

Answer: "Tomorrow Never Comes"

Question: What are the names of at least 2 stars of the above movie ?

[Marian]

It's Tippi Hedren Henry, not Harden.

[ROBERT M.]

Question - My favourite Matt song Maria is from which well known musical ?

[hpooch]

WEST SIDE STORY - Great musical & movie - My granddaughter played a part in the chorus at her high school in 2009

Question - What other one-word song from "West Side Story" had a great rendition by Matt ? ( Sorry, A Senior Moment, Robert!)

[ROBERT M.]

Have you got a new question Henry ?

[hpooch]

Robert - Please look at my last entry which I edited yesterday...................Ciao, Henry

[ROBERT M.]

Answer - The magnificent Somewhere

Question - Matts sang And You Smiled in the 70's, but which TV series is the song taken from ? .......the TV theme song had no words.

[hpooch]

Answer - VAN DER VALK TV Series (1973)

Question - What popular British comedian's suicide in 1968 caused Matt to have bouts of depression?

In the "Singers" Book it also mentioned that Matt was depressed by Mike Holiday's Suicide....Was he the same as Michael Holliday the popular singer that committed suicide in 1963? The time line between the comedian above & Michael is 5 years apart, so I was wondering...........

[ROBERT M.]

Answer - I think it must be Tony Hanc.o.c.k, who passed away in 1968, but I don't know about Mike Holiday................maybe Lena and Harry can answer that for you Henry

Question - Which Matt song, with words by Don Black won the best song Oscar ? ...........(quite apt for today)

[Marian]

Michael Holliday definitely died in 1963. I suppose it just meant that Matt was depressed by both 'unexpected' deaths, but at different times a few years apart.

[ROBERT M.]
