Yes, it's a beautiful piece.
Inspired by the wonderful story of Bob Champion and Aldaniti. Winning the National after Bob recovered from cancer, and Aldaniti a broken leg.

Well, it does seem I am 24 years too late with this....
Shirley Bassey released a version of 'Sometimes' way back in 1984 as her new single.
Still...., a 'newer' version from someone such as Il Divo or Katherine Jenkins could be a huge hit!

EXACTLY the same as me JK - i backed King Johns Castle and didn't do it each way! That on top of an FA Cup semi final defeat!!!!

I have always wondered (when I hear this piece of music), why it hasn't been made into a classical track - with a vocal from someone such as Katherine Jenkins, Sarah Brightman etc....
Surely it would have great interest, with the Millions of World-wide viewers who hear it every year!
Thoughts JK?
Do you think adding a vocal spoil it as a piece of classical music??

Well spotted Hoss; I thought "how wonderful" every time the Beeb played it (which they did several times).
