So cute were these kids; I fell in love with the movie. <br /><br />Lately just a few months ago - I upload movies but only good old classic ones and with a really good storyline - I managed to find the movie, which I had been searching for quite some time. I was so happy when I finally got it. The songs In The Morning and 1st of May really blended with the movie so well... beautiful songs. The BeeGees have definitive songs that I never tire listening to.

Its B-side was "Lamplight". It also featured as the B-side of "Melody Fair" when that song was released as a single in the Far East in 1971 as well as in 1976 and 1980 on RSO Records. It was the first Bee Gees single to be released after lead guitarist Vince Melouney had left the group.<br /><br />After its release, "First of May" enjoyed a resurgence several times. In 1971, the song was featured in the soundtrack to Melody, a British motion picture about two children in love. In 1996, the song was used as a theme of the Japanese drama 'Wakaba no Koro'. The song was consequently reissued as a CD single in Japan, also featuring 'How Deep Is Your Love' and peaked at No 25, selling more than 100,000 copies.chakap chakapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-41467877322859026222016-05-01T19:58:43.243+08:002016-05-01T19:58:43.243+08:00Andy You want my two cents worth of yapayaba....
