Flashback to the 1960's - Happy Heart

"There's a certain sound, Always follows me around.  When you're close to me you will hear it.  It's the sound that lovers finally will discover, When there is no other for their love.  It's my happy heart you hear, Singing loud and singing clear, And it's all because you're near, Be my love."

I first heard those lyrics on the movie "Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss," and ever since then it has remained in my head;  I don't know why, but it just makes me happy hearing it.  I guess, because I've never been so in love.  In less than 2 months it will be 6 years for Ryan and I, and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have by my side, maybe it's his Happy Heart I hear.

The song, "Happy Heart" was released by Petula Clark back in 1969, and of course along with it, some controversy.  Think of it as today's Lady Gaga stealing Madonna's music (as if). I don't know much about it, just that Andy Williams had also released that same song, the same year.  All that aside, I like Petula's version better anyway.

Clark was born in Epsom, Surrey, England, who later became an actress, singer and composer, whose career has spanned seven decades.  She has made countless movies and numerous singles, several in French, German, Italian and Spanish; Quite fascinating to say the least.  You can read more about Petula's extinguished career at Wikidpedia.com, but for now, let's take flashback to the 1960's and listen to Happy Heart.
