This beautiful song instantly takes me back to my childhood and Sunday teatimes, I’m 51 now and wish I could go back to those days, makes me fill up every time
Same here
@@chaeobods 57 here and absolutely right. omg those erstwhile innocent times were just perfect for us kids. not saying life was in the world of Enid Blyton perfect as bad shit still went on but wow, look at todays kids.. mobiles painted faces lashes, no hide n seek and all those wonderful games we played. everyone wants to be grown up, indoctrinated by tv and the Kardashians et al. I thank fuck I'm not a kid now . my eyes well up. when I think of running across fields thru woods playing innocent war games. keep the faith people and never forget how bloody lucky we were. x
Same here. It brings tears to my eyes. This theme with Black
Beauty galloping freely can never be beaten and never will. 70's TV was special, wish we could have it back sometime.
Share your sentiment completely. Such seemingly carefree times looking back on them now. If only there were a portal back to them. The theme tune still retains its magic after all this time.
Bath, Howard’s Way, That’s Life, bed. :)
This has to be one of the finest pieces of music ever to grace a TV series. I can see my mum now with tears rolling down her face. A great reminder of when weekend TV was something to relish. Not a trashy reality show in sight
A reality show is only as bad as its producers.
JESUS CHRIST will come very soon!
@@aclark903 that's the point
@@aclark903 and simon cowell produces some really bad shows.
I played this in my brass band-a very British tradition
I'm a 51 year old bloke and hearing this made me cry! 😢 A reminder of better days maybe.
Crying with you mate. 😢
I’m 48 and it brings tears to my eyes too, wish today was like it was back in the day.
So right, the world is a horrible place live in these days and it's very depressing.
Yep, 52 myself and this is just magical! They were truly happy days.

😢😢😢 Same age...the same feeling is here>>>I was watching in early 80s
This theme used to give me goosebumps as a child, and at 51, it still does!🥲
I agree Nick! I am 58, and This song is a little bit of my childhood in Sweden 🇸🇪
Me too.....and I'm 52 😂

If only kids today had the sort of childhoods we had back then when Black Beauty, Robinson Cruise and the Pink Panther show were the highlights of your week.
This is sooo true 😊😊
Here! Here! When life was less complicated. I miss those years . So special .
It’s the only question I could answer . And I keep coming back. . Xxx
@@samuelsotunde3622 and pink panther Sunday tea time . Ah ace times xxx
Also Flambards 🤣🤣🤣 and Big hugs
Tea time on a Sunday in front of our coal fire, watching this and dreading School the next day. I'm 58 now and I'd do anything to go back in time,happy days.
You've taken me back in time to those same feelings.
hows the 60s going bumble ?
Yeah bloody school on Monday, forgot to do my homework,erm ……. Black beauty ate it 😂
Oh my . yes!!!😢❤😢❤

"What's this Lynn?"
"It's the theme tune from Black Beauty."
"It's BRILLIANT!!"
Hahahahaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my. That's the genius that came into my mind. I love this theme, and Alan.
A sanitary bag! What are you trying to say?!
😁
He's right though! 🤓
Simply the greatest theme of all time...it takes me back to a more innocent carefree time...
I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could.
Ski Sunday ?
Future is in the past...
Beautiful music fantastic series, Sunday afternoons 1972
Try John Barry. The Persuaders!
I'm 51 now and life did seem happier and much more simple than today. This wonderful tune reminds me of a Sunday tea time - great memories indeed !

Much better times indeed. I'm 81½ and am constantly reminded how the world as we know it is being destroyed by technology and attitudes. Turn on one's TV today and it won't be too long before you're bombarded with frightful sensationalism featuring self-obsessed morons on programmes like Naked Attraction( grown adults bollock- naked on national TV groveling for dates!) and The Sex Clinic (again grown adults on National TV exposing us all to their rancid STD's and egos out of control!!)
I believe this is what such things as FaceBook has created, monstrous creatures who believe everything about them and their lives is interesting to everyone else. Including their diseased sexual organs!!

Haha same here in New Zealand !
Same, at my grandparents. Ham salad I always remember. Now I wanna cry a little, lol !
52 me
Same here... Watched it during tea time... . While I was a kid... 😍 sweet memories...
Those booming kettle drums and the brass are just awesome. A fantastic piece of music that takes so many back to a childhood that existed in so much simpler times.
The world is falling apart.
This theme tune came in to my head for some reason and just had to YT it; Can confirm, I did tear up a little. I really don't know why, but deffo memories of Swap Shop, Tiswas, Banana Splits, The Red Hand Gang et al - all the innocence of childhood, all came flooding back. Now surrounded by death and misery. Nevermind - Happy New Year folks :-)
@@doctorcrankyflaps1724 damn right it is,
@@doctorcrankyflaps1724 No it’s not the world is just as amazing as it ever was. Life has just made us hard and cynical. Go out and smell the flowers and wave at a toddler and you’ll feel much better. 🥰
Don't you wish you could just go back and be happy again even for a day, week or for good, there's something special about childhood.
55 and sat here tears streaming down.......loved this programme....
I was a very young child when this was on Tv. Cried every time I heard it. Parents bought me the record. And I listened over and over and cried. And I still cried just now. 😢❤
me too. why???
It's such a beautiful piece of music, and it brings back memories of happier times when my mum and dad were here.
One of the best TV theme tunes. I get very nostalgic and a bit teary eyed listening to it. Love it ❤️.
Times and people we can never get back. 😪
Reminds me of a different time, it's beautiful ❤️
Lovely tune lovely horse miss those times
It manages to be both melancholy and heroic; it evokes a world that is rich and full of adventure for the taking, but inspite of that there's a sadness running through it all. Which is what life is really.
maybe that's why so many of the comments include tears
Very well said, an excellent description.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's so heroic! I feel so emboldened! I love you 😍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When I was a child I loved this programme ,every Sunday night I would watch and very often cried. Would love to revisit those days, I lived for horses. The theme tune is beautiful.😊😢😊
Who can remember this from their childhood!!Best thing on telly at the time!!
I totally agree with you 100% Tally
Nah !
wurzel gummage
You are so right Tally
I watvhed this religiously as a child
Loved it!
The days of children's programming when even the quality of the theme tune tells you it's a quality production.
Omg this always makes me tear up even now 😢 at the age of 47 . I loved this program as a child .
I'm crying here with so much joy for all the happy memories, and what a beautiful horse
Oh those Sundays. They'll never come back. Absolutely wonderful - the music, the stories, the acting. Just wonderful.
Tears in my eyes..such a beautiful memory of my childhood♡
Me too Petra Herzog. Reminds me of running and exploring as a child growing up in the early to mid 70's when life back then was gentler and kinder.
Am 50 now and this music still moves me to tears.
The best years of my child hood
Crying at how much time has passed and how quickly. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could. Just to see my mum and dad again ...
One of THE best horse shows ever. How I miss watching this.
I am 54 now and the first time, after 35 years of seeing this on tv...I cried while this tune was playing...😭. It moved me so much!! Longing back to my childhood etc etc...
Many years this tune has been removed from youtube!! And now its back😁. The strength is the combi of music AND the images for me.
Thanx!🥰
I'm 54 now and I agree Reinier
@@Brian-zl8qj That is nice hear 😃. 🙋♂️
For 15 years of my early life, I basically spent every spare moment drawing horses because of that music and the imagery of black beauty running to the theme. I’m in my 50’s now and now can draw excellently. In art collage I was picked as the best life sketcher in my year of 90 students. My aptitude for muscle and bone structure is all thanks to this fine BBC program. I’m happy to pay my TV licence for all the great memories and even skills there programs ave given me.🥰
Its is so MAJESTIC to see a magnificent creature running free.
Stunning to think that some people haven’t seen this show in over 50 years, since their early childhood. And yet, within the first bar they would recognise this classic instantly if you were to play this to them. You don’t have to talk about some music ... its brilliance speaks for itself.
Black beauty is such an iconic theme tune, especially from the 70's, remembering such wonderful memories a fantastic generation.
What an amazing theme tune. It just sends me back to Sunday afternoons as a child in the way that only TV themes can. This is probably the most iconic theme tune in a era full of them.
I love This song❤️It reminds me of my childhood. I was 8 years old in 1972. Love it♥️♥️♥️🇸🇪
I was 5 years old in 1972,but remember this every sunday after bath time, eating seafood.
@@LanceHardingNostalgia!😍
@@jessicaaugustsson4358 I remember being scared whitless, kind of traumatised by the monk with a skeleton face in the episode Out Of The Night. As a kid I thought he was chasing me down the stairs at night, until I fell down the stairs with my bottom on the stair & my legs up in the air.
@@LanceHarding 😂
I was 4, still listening to it. Happy memories 🥂
Sunday afternoon in front of the fire. God life was so much nicer then
Absolutely! ❤️❤️
I was only a child but I feel so lucky to have those memories.
@@ianhalsall-fox It was LWT London Weekend Television
Indeed watching it at my grans on a Sunday
This and the Golden Shot,hosted by Bob Monkhouse,filled some of our aimless Sunday late afternoons in the front room of our house in Bushey. Whoever didn't bag the armchair made do with viewing from the couch.
Oh Beauty! Galloping through those fields! Oh the nostalgia how superb !!!
You won't beat anything better than this when it use to be on a Sunday teatime in front of the fire the good old days
Yes, all of us around the coal fire. My mum and dad are now sadly gone 😢
@@rw8733 Your Mum and Dad (God rest them both) could be up there petting the nose of the real Black Beauty for all we know, right as we speak, and they’d be smiling right down on you. Their love for you still lives in your heart. 💐
Amen to that.Sunday TV at its finest
Egg and chips in front of the box, while me dad filled out his pools coupon, while rest of family chatted in kitchen, not forgetting provi lady, god bless my mum x
This is the theme music to my childhood in Ireland in the seventies wrapped up in this wonderful nostalgic tune. Thank you Denis King! Came across it again during lockdown and it opened the floodgates...
I watched this here in Ireland to ... I always sing to the duu duuu du du du du du du du bit ☺️
I too love this music,bought the record when it came out,still have it to this day.Great stuff!
Me too 😊
tears streaming down my face my childhood all over again
Wonderful magnificent childhood days, I was so lucky. This brings floods of memories back to me and tears are falling down my cheeks. Ohhhhhhh xxxxx
Helen I guess were all feel a little that way, what I'd give to go back for a day and have some fun with old friends.
I miss those days. I miss my mum. She loved this.
I knew Denis King and his lovely family back in the seventies, my mother used to clean there house in hampstead, I used to play with his lovely daughter fiona, who loved snoopy, great guy and a great composer
god lynn this is bloody brilliant
brilliant tv show and the theme still sends a shiver down my spine hearing it for the 1st time in 44 years
Nothing takes me back to my childhood quicker than this music. Rushing home from school to watch it...simple times...great piece of music...
I'm knocking on 50 years old now, I remember this as a lad back in the late 70's early 80's (I was probably watching repeats of it then). I like to think the horse in the credits is really happy and enjoyed the shoot, it looks like it did. I wish I could have stayed as a child in the 70's/80's, life is much simpler when you are young, and those were more simpler basic times than we live in now.
I'm 56 and I'd go back to those days if I could.
Love this tune, I miss the 70sand80s. These times are awful,! So many diseases, and being 54 years old.looking at black beauty and that lovely tune by Denis king, certainly brings so much nostalgia..
I think we all would jump at the chance to go back, I feel really sad thinking about the future for my kids, I just wish they knew the times we all grew up in, such great times.
There were four horses involved but the one thta did the credits and the riding and driving was an American Trotter
Mid-70s, I think, Sunday evening TV (bath night!).
Makes me cry ...ppl were real and feelings it brings to your heart of the loved ones..school friends and family..sadly some not with us.A theme tune can bring out such memories
Reminds me when I was a kid. Sunday night, not looking forward to Monday's school.
+Gerry Ryan. We watch black beauty everty sunday afternoon when I was little . 但是现在电视台再也不会播这种外国电视剧了，当时还有 未来青年，小岛上的孩子。
Exactly. When I hear this i feel depressed Sunday night blues. School the next day
"what's this lynn?"
"the theme tune from black beauty"
"it's BRILLIANT!"
To love horses is to love yourself. They give so much and this programme as a child would fill me with so much joy. God I miss it.😥
This tune just came into my head having not listened to or watched in decades.
This is one tune I could happily listen to on a loop forever, it makes me cry with happiness & joy at all those wonderful memories of a long ago childhood. It sends me right back to Sunday evenings, when I was around 8 & I was besotted with Black Beauty. It's making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up as I type. Thank you for posting, & making an old gal very happy. And Black Beauty, you still rock!! :-)
Isn't it just such a wonderful theme, I adore horses and I dreamt of getting one, sadly not to be. But the tune fills me with happiness and sadness for a time long lost.
Narcissisticnobody Thank you I agree, Black Beauty died of a broken heart when Jenny (Stacy Dorning) left to go to New Zealand in the FIRST 1990 Series, try finding that, it will make you cry that I KNOW.
Narcissisticnobody Well said Narciccictienobody #bringbackthe80sand90's
Narcissisticnobody Well said, it had the same effect on me too! There's nothing quite like the memories of your childhood to stir up all those feelings again.
My thoughts exactly. Makes me nostalgic and a little sad...melancholy. Times gone by that we'll never experience again. 😳
I heard this tune and watched the program so many year ago when I was but 7 or 8. Near 50 now and it sounds like yesterday....... thankyou for sharing .
Why am I crying so much 😭😭 what is it with this music? One of the finest TV themes that will ever be.
Fantastic times, cant beat the memories 👌👍
One of the best pieces of music ever...so powerful in so many ways..gives me goosebumps...loved the programme Black Beauty as a child .. tremendous...🖤
I heard this iconic theme from my favorite childhood series this morning driving by the sea and l had tears in my eyes.Took me back to a time when the world was a kinder place.
God Bless you, thank you for finding this version, Happy Days, take care 😃🐴🐎
My late mum LOVED this theme and these opening titles - tears streaming down my face typing this thank you for posting.

She'll always be with you Daz...
Darren Wison god bless you and your Mum in haven
Bless your mother. I hope you're doing okay ❤️❤️
Love this theme from black beauty I remember it very well when I was 5 watching it with my brother sister and my mum .Sadly she was killed when I was 6 so having this theme set as my ring tone,brings back happy memories.
God bless your mom
I adore this composition of music more than life itself, childhood memories that will never die, even after I am gone ❤️❤️
This has given me goose bumps. I loved this show with a passion. Sunday tea time, crumpets and jam.I'm now 53 and still love it. ❤
One of the greatest theme tunes EVER!
Takes me back to when I used to ride. Long time ago, I'm an old lady now. Galloping home will always be my home
I'm now 43 and remember this when I was a kid. Beautiful soundtrack and storyline. Just shows how life is so short. Kids nowadays wouldn't understand anything like this.
Big drums & brass. Instant goosebumps for me.
Perfect. 👌
Takes me back to happy times 😢
My sister and I loved horses when we were children so we loved watching this! The theme tune is awesome!
God Bless you, thank you for commenting.
this brought childhood memories back, gave me a lump in my throat how I would love to be the innocent 5yr old with all my family around me just for one day loved black beauty.i remember playing out and someones mum would shout Julie black beauty is starting and all us kids would run home to watch it then all join up again when it finished haha
I miss my mum. Hearing this reminds me of happier times 😌
@@rw8733 beautiful animal
I can't tell how much I love this I'm a great fan of horses.I could listen to this song forever black beauty
A truly classic theme tune, brings me straight back to my childhood watching Black Beauty galloping through the countryside and immediately wanting to join him on his energetic, exciting and challenging adventures!! 😃
And as I can't actually return to my childhood on and on I go with Rihanna and " Diamonds " ❤................
......stopped off to say goodbye to Prince and his "Little Red Corvette" as I remember, watch and keep a look out for where his "horses run free".........X🎉......
I cannot believe how fast time has flown by this was my favourite theme song
I loved this when i was a kid! Lassie, six million dollar man, valley of the dinasaurs, baba papa...just couldnt wait for the weekend!!😊
The little hobo the German shrpard dog wod help people they want to keep him but he's go off doin wat he did helping
Beautiful horse & the music is fab. Memories of my childhood. Absolutely fantastic. Life was great. Loved watching Black beauty on Sundays.
Now THAT'S a theme tune!
Reading the comments here about how many other people "blubbed" when they heard this (myself included) makes me think there is something in the music itself. It had the same effect on me as "Bright Eyes" (Watership Down) which had me running out of the room every time it was on Top of the Pops to avoid me being teased by my brother.
I can really relate to what you said ..I think when I heard bright eyes as a child it was the first time I'd felt sadness ..I probably didn't even know what the feeling was ...but it was so powerful. I think some music is just very emotive and can really move you. Even if I hear that piece of music now it sends a wave of nostalgia and almost heartbreak right through me. Watership down is such a classic! Sorry for the long message ..what you wrote struck a chord!
So true. Amazing how music can move us.
Loved the show when I was a kid, theme tune still gives me goosebumps
Classic British Sunday tea time viewing. Great days from a bygone era .

Loved black beauty the theme tune amazing brings me back to my childhood wonderful times such a beautiful horse ❤️
Tears in my eyes while listening to the openingstune, fantastic!
Not ashamed to admit this gives me goosebumps on top of me goosebumps
So many of the UK produced programmes have tremendous theme music.
I can only reflect what most others say, it was sunday afternoon and early morning summer holidays nostalgia.
I remember 1971 and the coal strikes ,no electricity for four of the days of the week,the snow for three months and reading by candlelight. All that seems easier than life today.
We British know how to do decent music!!
What an enrapturing theme!!!from a time when England was not the Stinkhole it is today!!!!!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Look up the English constitution party and know your rights
why is this song so emotional to me?! 💕
Denis king. One of the best theme music. Brilliant.
Aww on a memory lane night from childhood and all the times my dad cried at films and said his eyes just wet , aww I miss those days now both my parents in heaven💖
Mine too. This takes me back to happier days.
Same here. Miss my parents deeply and those innocent days of being a child. Everything seemed safe and happy. Then we grow up and yikes!
I'm 54, and I loved watching Black Beauty, back in the day. The other night for no reason, I started humming the song, hubby joined in, I said wasn't that series brilliant he said yh. Nothing like that these days. ❤
Fabulous childhood memories watching Black Beauty. Amazing spine tingling music and just like that I’m 8 yrs old again in front of a tv that only had 3 channels. Better days!!
I remember this music and show from my childhood. Pure and innocent days in the 70s. I think of my dad who was alive then and where we used to live. Sunday evenings and the days of ATV. I just get all mushy when I hear this. Thank you for posting.
Mushy is the coolest word of the 70s/80s...!!!!! Love it
so many memories off this...watching on a sunday tea time..whole family glued to the telly
I remember this beautiful old tv serial when it arrived in New Zealand i was 5 years old at the time now 55, and still love this Old music and brings back memories from my childhood.🇳🇿🇳🇿👍💞🖤❤️💖
We are the same age.... my sister lives in New Zealand, Swanson near Auckland, glad this also brought back childhood memories for you too x.
I think I remember this show. I only ever watched it at my grandparents' house and it would have been reruns by that time (early 80s). This and The Black Stallion were some of my favourite shows to watch there. I went on to read the books and they were the favourites of my childhood.
Because of this show my love for horses began. Childhood memories reactivated. Black beauty was a beauty indeed
This theme just got played on some TV advert right now and my ears pricked up. The banging of the drums just makes your heart beat that bit faster. Childhood memories x
this song and film still brings me to tears ! ... my 7 year old daughter saw the serie last week, she found it a bit exiting with the bad guys who try to steal Beauty ; -) but always a good end... love you sweet Beauty , still in my hart xxx ( splashing true the water beautyful !) btw we are still making beautyful memories here in 2019 ... times are still as wonderful as in my childhood. Moving forward in time , galopping like this Black Beauty did , all is well !
Pure class
I lived for this tv show. Even now, listening to this theme song takes me back to a very special time and place.
loved this show :)
me too :)
snowbird68 dont think i ever watched this but the music is in my head and always has been. its just so epic
oh wow. i watched it as a young girl but yes the music is epic. :)
Lizzie G makes me cry even now and im 46. I certainly well up.
Makes me so nostalgic seeing and hearing this - damn I miss those days! ❤
I've just clicked on this video straight after listening to the Settlers " Lightning Tree "" from Follyfoot and I'm amazed with the comments stating exactly the way I felt . " Sunday teatime " ! These themes remind us of our childhood when everything WAS so much better than today. Another theme for me is the one from Catweazle ! Nostalgia as they say , is a thing of the past but give me those days every time . The 70s was the best decade to be a kid .
Follyfoot farm. Lightning. Tree
Just beautiful watching black beauty gallop through the fields
Iconic, I saw this when it was repeated in the 80s as a kid and loved it
This theme is so nostalgic. Beautiful.
the sound of triumph and freedom.
P Heart
Amen!
Hit the nail right on the head ✌
This music gets to me every time no matter how much i play it. Classic.
What a beautiful music theme of black beauty,, gives me goose bumbs, l've read the book on black beauty, as well as I had watched the TV series, brings back alot of good memories that sometimes I wish I could turn the clock back to the 70s and the 80s were days were much simpler and easier, and Sundays to watch black beauty, man, those were nice times, I sure miss it.
Maybe l'll buy the DVD at a special store to find out if they still have that good ole times of black beauty, I really miss it. 😢
Beautiful brings a tear to mine eye
I actually used to canter around my bedroom to this. Hahahaha! I was Horse CRAZY. Thanks for the great memory!
Judi Bowker is right when she says there is not enough good programmes for children nowadays where are all the Black Beauties and where are all the children s drama serials like we used to get back in the 70 s like Kizzy and Break in the Sun and the Changes ? todays children are really deprived of good children s tv X
We watched The Changes and I vaguely remember Kizzy,too,it was the name of the titular character who was a gypsy girl.
