Slacker nicked it for Your Face an all - which isn't a bad song either.

It's a wierd accapella that's better on it's own rather than actual normal mixes - bit like Mariah Carey - Someday

THink that was written by Ewan McColl, the Salford bloke that did dirty old town. And Dad of Kirsty. Its beatiful Nath you are right.

Loved the gift as well.

Whats Graham Park up to these days, anyone know?

Right people, hope you can help me out here. Just read this thread and had a wee chuckle to myself.

I have never heard of this particular version, I'm getting married next year and the reason I am asking is that this is the song my woman wants to walk down the aisle to. I had actuallty done a bit of research into this track and Ed, you're right was written by Ewan McColl. It was also sung by Roberta Flack and was used on the Mcleans 40+ toothpaste ad "session singer" and featured on the film "The Bachelor" as well as a few others.

Anyway, have been looking for the one used in the film when he's on the boat with the priest and the Roberta Flack one is the closest (the one on the film soundtrack as opposed to what was in the film is sung by a Barry White sounding woman!). However, Roberta Flack's one is still not exactly right. This one may be the answer :confused:

I know I sound like a sad twat but if anyone could post a sample of the acca or can give any more info it would be much appreciated!! :thumbsup:

Here's the first verse. It's a fairly low bit rate though (and I've just realised I've recorded it at +2 so it may sound tiny bit fast). This is the same release as Ben has posted an image of - the full accapella being 5 mins long.
