Moon River - Clapton & Beck...
A QUOTE F.T.C. - "I still can't get over Jeff Beck's passing. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos of his performances and it amazes me how he can take a simple melody and turn it into something spectacular. This tune is a perfect example. He sticks to the melody, doesn't deviate from it, and doesn't throw in any flashy gymnastic, pyrotechnic playing like a lot of other players would when they get bored with just playing the melody. And yet just listening to him play like this, sounds amazing. RIP Mr.Beck."

Another Quote From The Comments - "A number of years ago a tv series used the Andy Williams version of this masterpiece of composition and emotion. I was immediately struck by it so unexpectedly. I knew of the song before then but hadn’t taken time to stop and really listen. So my hearing it in full accidentally is a wonderful thing. This year, which is about to end, I lost my twin brother the beginning of April. My dear mother passed on two months later at an amazing 91 years old. And thirdly, my wife loves huckleberries. So it is this song which makes me think of each of them all at once… instantly, intensely and so emotionally. I also happen to be a musician and guitar player. To have stumbled across this, not ever knowing Clapton and Beck had even ever done this, and to hear them doing it, for the first time in my life is overwhelming. I’m so very grateful to them, Mr. Mancini, Mr. Williams, and the documenter of this and the poster.
If I write any more I will collapse, so thank you, and I hope and pray for everyone to have peace this year. As a race we are in a desperate situation. Let’s be good to each other despite our differences. "
