Just heard The Impossible Dream, what a great arrangement the song has, and Matt hold's the final note for bang on 10 seconds :) earlier Matt holds the final note on From Russia With Love for a full 12 seconds......................incredible :) :)

I hope you'll listen to Jack's too Robert :wink: :wink: He can hold that last note for ever... even now.

I'm listening to Michael Ball's interview with Tom Jones at the moment.

Thanks anyway Robert, I got there eventually! Good interview as everyone has said. :D :D

Of course Jack has played Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha, as his Dad did before him, so I really associate him more than anyone else with the Impossible Dream. :wink: :wink:
Marian :D

To me The Impossible Dream is a "standard" which has been covered by just about every crooner in the business :)

Listening to a new CD by Gigliola Cinquetti, which has a mixture of her old songs from the 60's and some newer tunes...............a good mix :)

Re "The Impossible Dream" Johnny Mathis has done it as a medley, with"The Impossible Dream" "Man of La Mancha" and "Dulcinea"----why is "Dulcinea" so seldom heard --it is just stunning.

I am currently listening to an album by a Fillipino singer Claire De La Feunte called "Something In Your Eyes", the title track originally recorded by Richard Carpenter and Dusty Springfield. She has a lovely voice and the album is superb.

Is she from your era (1950s - early 1970s) or a contemporary singer?

No Paul, this is right up to date, recorded last year in fact. But it is a lovely album, mostly ballads, but very, very hard to find.

I am sure she has been mentioned on this Forum before---maybe by John--if not , it could have been Terence.
