If I Could Go Back

Post by Terence Lee » Sun Jan 27, 2008 7:11 pm

This is the theme song from Lost Horizon IF I COULD GO BACK. I remember Vikki Carr had a single out of this song on Columbia.

Mariana, did Johnny Mathis record this song?
I could have sworn I saw his version in an album.

Meanwhile, here's Dot really belting it out......

Hi Terence--I am almost 100% sure that Johnny Mathis did not record that song "If I could go back"--It is not in the discography that I have-in fact, I do not know the song.

Johnny Mathis did sing a song called "If I could reach you"--maybe that is the one you are thinking of.

Thanks for the Dot Squires clips Terence.
She was one of the highest paid stars at her peak selling millions of records, and tragically ended her life living in a house belonging to a grateful and devoted fan.

Hi Mariana

If I Could Go Back was a Peter Finch solo in Lost Horizon if I remember correctly. Although that movie was generally not well reviewed, I liked it so much and even bought the soundtrack album and later the CD. What can I say about Michael York? For many years, I sought out his movies just to hear his voice. I like his diction and the tone of his voice.

If I Could Reach You is a more commercial song. Didn't the Ray Conniff Singers cover it too in their I Can See Clearly Now album?

It's very confusing but I wonder which of these 2 songs Andy Williams sang.
