Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?




Here is my favourite version of 'Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman'. George's vocals are outstanding (well backed up by Robert and Scotty). Graham's acoustic guitar work is the 'icing on the cake' for this one.


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" is a song written by Bryan Adams, Michael Kamen and Robert John "Mutt" Lange, and recorded by Adams for the film Don Juan DeMarco.
 The melody is used as a musical motif throughout the film, and the song
 is featured three times in the movie, twice performed by other artists
in Spanish, and finally performed by Adams himself during the closing
credits. The Adams version of the song, which features flamenco
guitarist Paco de Lucia, is featured on the soundtrack album and also on the album 18 Til I Die. It was at number one for five weeks on the Billboard Hot 100
 in the United States, making it the third number one song for the
songwriting team, and went on to earn them their second Oscar
nomination.

The song peaked at No 1 on the ARIA Charts in1995.

The Four Kinsmen - TV Ad #1

Over the years The Four Kinsmen made a lot of TV commercials. Most of the ads featured George Harvey, Robert Pearson, Graham Wilson and Scott Radburn - I know there were ads made with the original four but I have no copies of these. I shall endeavour to find some - BUT - most of these ads were on VHS and most of them have well and truly passed their 'use by' date so all can do is try my best. The first ad has a cheeky start and and a bit of TV magic to get it started.

The Four Kinsmen

are off the road
taking a well earned break.

There are currently no plans to tour again.

George, Robert, Graham and Scott
would like to say "Thank you"
to all the fans that gave their support
to the 'We're Back' Tours.

The Four Kinsmen - Boy From Oz

This is not The Boy From Oz you're thinking of. A bit of social commentary from The Four Kinsmen. The routine was withdrawn from the show in 2001 - for obvious reasons.

This wasn't the first (or the last) time that a great routine was 'dropped'. Whenever a 'subject' (victim) of a routine 'passed away', that part of the show was automatically withdrawn. Nowadays there are certain 'comedic acts / shows' that don't even begin a segment until it is 'in poor taste'.

I have started to find and file some of these old routines - for without these records they will all
 disappear.
