From a Burt Bacharach TV Special in the early 70s. Richard sings "Didn't We" and also a lovely version of "If I Could Go Back" from the movie musical "Lost Horizon". Burt plays piano
My all time favorite singer, performer, actor in the world Richard Harris. Started listening to him when my mother played his album McArthur Park at 10 years old and to this day I listen to him in my car (2022). Paired with one of the best songwriter musicians in the world Burt Bacharach, you just can't get any better. Harris was able to put more feeling into his songs as an actor than even some of the best performers. What beautiful memories. Two incredibly talented individuals. They don't make them like this anymore. Thanks for the beautiful memories and joy....
His voice. His amazing voice. Dusky. Poignant. Warm. Poetic. So utterly perfect for "If I Can Go Back" which he sings with such yearning. It's the actor in him, as he admits.
Just like his McArthur Park song, he sings with emotion and passion that really touches me right through my heart. I loved him.Sing with the angels Richard!
P Cole Loved this video Please post your Lost Horison video I am 81 and the movie made such an impact on me I have been searching for it for many years thinking it was called Shangri la Good movies and music never die Thank you
Thanks so much for sharing this rare gem. I love Harris' music - such an underrated singer. Does anyone know whether "If I Could Go Back" was ever recorded on an album somewhere, or compilation? Thanks!
I guess I have all of his recordings ….I even own his only book with his own poetry….so no, this is only on TH-cam! Greetings from a big fan of Harris, got all of his films, too!
@k8nairne - I'm pretty sure that Harris never released a studio recording of this song - I grabbed the audio off this video and whacked it into my iTunes!
Richard Harris voice is unique. When he sings , it touch one's soul. I love his voice.

He was much more of an actor who brought HEAPS when he sang. That was his talent.
(And I wrote that before I heard him say it.)
36 years old and I would marry Richard Harris if he were still alive....
Can you imagine being able to even hang out with him? No story teller or cooler person than him!
I would, too......he's my all-time dream boy ....no second choice for me. Only Richard ❤
Richard my love :)
