when Dudley died I cried that we all had lost a truly unique musical genius. Listening to his jazz and classical recordings are reminders of his talent we can continue to enjoy! Thanks Dud.
I recently visited Dudley's grave in New Jersey to pay my respects as a long time admirer of his talent, and as a fellow pianist. Such a shame how that disease robbed him of his one true love and had to finish his days suffering with the fact that he could no longer play piano. I miss him.
I miss him too. Next time I'm in The States, that's something I should do too. I'm contemplating making the trip from the UK to the Las Hadas Resort in Manzinollo, just to be able to sit at the bar where he played that beautiful piece
Phil Kelly Phil will you run on the beach in your grey sweat pants and film it? LOL. I'm kidding of course but that would be funny to see.I've always wanted to visit Las hadas. That would be awesome.
I remember watching the movie 10 to see beautiful Bo Derek. When I left the movie theatre all I could think of was this beautiful song. I still love it today.
Such sweetness and sorrow emanate in this extravagantly beautiful composition, elegantly performed by a phenomenally gifted man that is so deeply missed. If you're not smiling through tears right now then you're not a hopeless romantic and have never seen Dudley perform this piece in "10" ~ Forever young, forever beautiful, forever remembered and forever missed you are loved. Thank you.
i just saw the film again and this time the music really stood out and the acting. Henry, Dudley and Blake are the people who really made this film what it is today. Its a classic that stands for a time in peoples lifes where they are getting older and how to deal with it. Brilliant film that will be remembered.
I had the pleasure of seeing this movie when i came out and i got goose bumps when Dudley played this song, Still say what i said then, Awesome!!! Now i am 47 and identify with it alot, It will remain timeless! R.i.p. Dudley your talent was impeccable!!
PS: AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING OVERLY SENTIMENTAL, THIS SADLY DEPARTED MUSICAL GIANT, ACTOR AND COMIC, WILL BE SORELY MISSED IN THE FILM AND MUSIC INDUSTRY. THIS PIANO PIECE IS TIMELESS, MOVING, ROMANTIC AND SAD ALL WRAPPED IN ONE! (RIP) TO THE LATE GREAT DUDLEY MOORE. YOUR MUSICAL GENIUS AND COMEDY IS PRESERVED FOREVER ON FILM AND THE INTERNET FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO ENJOY AND WONDER AT! SIR, I NEVER MET YOU, BUT YOU TRAGICALLY LEFT US FAR TOO SOON, MUCH TOO SOON. LIKE OTHER GREAT MUSICAL GIANTS OF THE 20TH CENTURY WHO ARE NO LONGER W/US; (RIP) TO ALL THE LATE GREAT ARTISTS OF THE PAST: THE LATE FRANK SINATRA; THE LATE BOBBY DARIN; THE LATE DUDLEY MOORE; THE LATE ELVIS PRESLEY; THE LATE KAREN CARPENTER ETAL. YOU MUSIC IS TIMELESS AND WILL TRULY LIVE FOREVER IN FILM AND THE INTERNET! THANKS FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES TO ALL YOU DEARLY DEPARTED MUSICAL ACTING STARS! (RIP)! MR. GARCIA IN SF, CA.
Thank God... after all these years. To see him play this so beautifully (and exactly as he did in the movie) is a joy. Brilliant arrangement and musical structure to this song. What a neat mixture this brings. The melody is pop in nature (at least for 1980) while the lush chords bring almost a jazz component.... And all the while there is a hint of the classical. Man, this is the good stuff.
So many people didn't realize what a concert pianist Mr. Moore was. He didn't deserve the debilitating disease. At least his legacy lives on, and when I need some Zen, I play this performance on UA-cam.
The day that Dudley Moore died I popped the movie '10' into the VCR and fast forwarded to the scene where he played this song in the movie. It was my way of remembering and celebrating his musical and comedic genius. :)
'It's Easy To Say' is one of my favourite numbers by one of my all time favourite composers - and to have it played by one of my favourite pianists is a priceless bonus! I treasure this recording. Henry Mancini and Dudley Moore - how I wish they were still with us. Graham Monkman
I spent a week with the dear friend of Dudley Moore, Barbara Moore (no relation), who was so respected by Dudley, as a neighbor, friend and as a mutual pianist/composer/arranger, that her gave her his prized piano. There it stood, the centerpiece of her wonderful grand room, in Bognor Regis, UK.They actually were neighbors for some time in England. She got very misty eyed as she told me about him, from a personal point of view. "His wit, and talents were matched only by his kindness to everyone". She told me they would play together quite a bit. I'll never forget seeing that piano, and hearing of his personality.
The bar scene w Dee Wallace watching Dudley play piano , gives me goosebumps every time . His playing was so great and I truly believe in all her films , this scene where she looks at him so lovingly is the best acting of her I’ve ever seen in her other films . It shows sometimes “ less IS more “. I also love when “his ol friend Don “ says to him , “ for what it’s worth , I like YOUR songs . Oh god. Love all these bar scenes . I can just feel what she feels in this scene , it’s so emotional on her end .😢
incredible :) Musician, Artist, Composer, and actor :) I cannot help having a smile on my face thinking of his renditions of "ARTHUR" We miss him :-) Dudley's was one of a kind :-)
Fantástico. Lamentável que ele foi embora tão cedo. Nunca vou esquecer do filme "Arthur o Milionário" que ele contracena com Lisa Minelli. Toda a oportunidade que eu tenho, assisto este vejo filme. Parabéns pela magnífica publicação, ganhou uma seguidora.
Aww, dear dud....a handsome talanted man.what a great comady 10 was,beautiful bo and Julie andrews,what a part for Julie, just shows what a diverse actress she was.RIP cute lovely dud.xx💟💟💟
Hi EdWaldrup, Thank you so much for sharing this. What a beautifully sad piece. In your description you put that very nicely. We did indeed lose a "gentle genius". It wasn't until recently that I discovered his musical talents. I always loved him and appreciated his playful acting roles in comedies like Foul Play, Arthur and from my teen years the movie Like Father Like Son. To this day I think he was genius in that role. The board meeting/ chewing gum with a cigarette scene alone is worth the price of admission. lol I had no idea he was also a gifted composer and pianist. Being a fan of Christopher Cross and the film Arthur I stumbled across this live performance with Dudley and Christopher performing Arthur's Theme together. ua-cam.com/video/DWQb-vMb8kA/v-deo.html Wow, such a talented pianist! It's so sad to read that in some ways Dudley had similar struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction similar to his character Arthur. My heart broke when I read that he passed away of pneumonia, secondary to immobility caused by progressive supranuclear palsy. So sad that we lost such a talent and as you so nicely put it, gentle genius. I'm just grateful we have his music and movies that make us laugh, smile and in this case, even cry a little bit. I just read that his last words were... "I can hear the music all around me." I don't know about you, but I find a tremendous amount of comfort in that and he makes me smile, yet again. :)
What a great talent. I will never forget the first time I heard him play jazz piano-he could easily have been a professional muscian. He shall be missed in full measure..
I wonder how much his disease had progressed by the time of this performance. Bless him. I hear mistakes that I don't think are stylistic variations. Such a horrible disease. I remember Dudley Moore as such a perfectionist both as a musician and an actor. RIP, Mr. Moore. You did good. Always.
PS: IF I AM EVER IN NEW JERSEY(WHICH I DOUBT) I WOULD BE HONORED TO PLACE FLOWERS ON HIS GRAVE. WE TRULY LOST A GENTLE MUSICAL/COMEDY GENIUS. I PRAY MOST IF NOT ALL DISEASES ARE ERADICATED IN MY LIFETIME, SADLY I DOUBT IF THAT WILL EVER COME TO PASS, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW! (RIP) TO THE LATE GREAT DUDLEY MOORE.
I'm currently working on some oil paintings and so I purchased a few of his albums (CD's) to help put me in the subject mood.... but every time this or a few others come up I just stop for a bit......Beautiful.
Both Duddley Moore and Sammy Davis Jr. Lived their lives on stage. They lived to perform. They both died without having really close friends in their lives. Both had genius level talent.
I couldn't watch any Dudley Moore stuff for years after he passed. Too broken hearted. Brought a lot of joy.
Dudley Moore has a place among the greatest of the Oxbridge polymaths. Comedian. Actor. Musician. A wonderful talent in a wonderful human being.
Adore Dudley Moore and love his talents. He is so Missed ...A Truly Amazing Man!
when Dudley died I cried that we all had lost a truly unique musical genius. Listening to his jazz and classical recordings are reminders of his talent we can continue to enjoy! Thanks Dud.
Comedians are deep people.
@@rmeier66 yes, you have to dig deep to find the funny side these days - irene

YES i AGREE , i JUST THOUGHT HE WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN. iTS RATHER STRANGE WHY HIS OWN FAMILY DID NOT SEE ABOUT HIM,
I miss him too. Next time I'm in The States, that's something I should do too. I'm contemplating making the trip from the UK to the Las Hadas Resort in Manzinollo, just to be able to sit at the bar where he played that beautiful piece
He picked New jersey? Why?
Phil Kelly Phil will you run on the beach in your grey sweat pants and film it? LOL. I'm kidding of course but that would be funny to see.I've always wanted to visit Las hadas. That would be awesome.
Rita, the woman who took care of him lived there. He considered her his only family
Darling Dudley, will we ever recover from losing you so early? Loved you then. Love you now. Always.
Rest in Peace Dudley Moore. Your illness was a cruel, misunderstood twist that took you too early from us. You are missed, Mr. Moore.
I second that.
Beautifully said. He was truly special.
So was the woman that destroyed him and took all his money. All 6.0 of her 🤬
For us pianists.. listening to that we know how much talent and skill it takes to play that. He was an unbelievable pianist.. period!
We pianists.
@@ashleyhoward8926 Dick.
This piece is a most suitable finale...it's all in the mood.
Only morons say period.
I remember watching the movie 10 to see beautiful Bo Derek. When I left the movie theatre all I could think of was this beautiful song. I still love it today.
The most touching, breathtakingly beautiful song from a movie I've ever heard. Absolutely brilliant. Period.
Such sweetness and sorrow emanate in this extravagantly beautiful composition, elegantly performed by a phenomenally gifted man that is so deeply missed. If you're not smiling through tears right now then you're not a hopeless romantic and have never seen Dudley perform this piece in "10" ~ Forever young, forever beautiful, forever remembered and forever missed you are loved. Thank you.
Beautiful tribute, April.
Absolutely beautiful.

Hey Dud,miss you man laughter was always there but your sublime keyboard skills were the real magic.Thanks to god for you dudley.
I had the pleasure of seeing this movie when i came out and i got goose bumps when Dudley played this song, Still say what i said then, Awesome!!! Now i am 47 and identify with it alot, It will remain timeless! R.i.p. Dudley your talent was impeccable!!
He is so talented. The mood and timing are so spot on. Only he can create this feel on this piece.
Yes, Henry Mancini's version comes nowhere close to this one!

One of the most beautiful songs ever by the greatest Dudley Moore. I miss you.😢
Dudly was a true genius sadly missed.
he was one of my idols as a comedian, musician, and actor... RIP Dudley Moore

Well Said, "Kristina"! Indeed! So do I. :)

This is outstanding. I cry EVERY TIME. Such a talent Dudley was in so many ways. He will be cherished forever.
He is sooooo very missed.
I STILL MISS THIS GENTLEMAN!!!!!!
Hauntingly beautiful. Takes my breath away.
One forgets how much talent he had.
I remember watching the 4 minute scene in 10 where Dudley plays this song in one scene. Incredible. I never forgot it
Just magic, it ewokes bittersweet emotions from the past! RIP dear Dudley.
One of the most beautiful songs ever by the only one who could deliver it perfectly. ❤ RIP Dudley.
true
I will always be grateful to Dudley for this song. Very moving. Unforgettable.
I believe all miss Dudley Moore. I,miss him.
Man o man - what a talented individual. And now he's gone. He will be missed.
Un musicien extraordinaire et hors norme, un fabuleux comédien et un être humain magnifique et une fin tragique incompréhensible !
I have watched this many times. He was such a fine musician.
“It’s easy to say” ……exquisite……it reminds me of my first love in Manhattan….admirable talent……thank you for your contribution….
Wonderful musician and pianist, Dudley Moore. God be with you.
Still love and miss you Dudley Moore, and still enchanted with sweet, sweet George Webber. Until we see you again....🕺❤️
One of the most moving pieces of music played by a genius. I miss him so.
incredible :) Musician, Artist, Composer, and actor :) I cannot help having a smile on my face thinking of his renditions of "ARTHUR" We miss him :-) Dudley's was one of a kind :-)
A lovely piece from two such talented men. Bravo!
what a great piano player
Dudley,you were a genius.This haunting theme,is etched in my brain.
A beautiful song, beautifully played. RIP, Dudley. RIP, Henry.
two wonderful musicians......how I miss both of them.....this is so lovely.....thank you for this gem
Some of the best piano playing and improvisation I’ve ever heard.
The song from 10, aka 'Lick My Love Pump ' I believe!
Wonderful amazingly talented man
This showed up in my feed. I loved Arthur so much. This slipped me. First time hearing this. I bought the sheet music and will be learning it soon.😢
This song and its composer are equally fabulous and unforgettable. Couldn't believe my ears the first time I heard it!
Struggente canzone ricordo di una sera d'estate al cinema con il caro papà. Grazie Dudley.
why am I in tears after hearing this?
Such a talent,a gift, just wonderful.
Fantástico. Lamentável que ele foi embora tão cedo. Nunca vou esquecer do filme "Arthur o Milionário" que ele contracena com Lisa Minelli. Toda a oportunidade que eu tenho, assisto este vejo filme. Parabéns pela magnífica publicação, ganhou uma seguidora.

Dudley lived in a bright purple home along the side walk in Venice Beach..Man what a pad! What an entertainer!!
I have always loved Duds music, from jazz to Gerwshin to classical a true brilliant musician, part of my childhood from Dagenham, know it well
He's always been one of my favorites since I was a child ❤️
Keep the light on, I might be back.
Wonderful Dudley. Thank you so 💓
Was at top of Hollywood an fell sadly . The end was tragic and a lost 💔
Dudley Moore was a tremendous actor of his time. I was saddened by the way he ended and passed away. Tragedy a true fan Mr.JT.
God I love this song and Dudley playing it.
He was amazing,I also miss his talent !
Beautiful ..intense..a cry to love.
He made me cry when he playeyed this in the movvie = how is that possible as I was 10 years old ?

Like me a dagenham boy.Unique man. Dudley's musical talent leaves me speechless.we miss u buddy.
What a great talent. I will never forget the first time I heard him play jazz piano-he could easily have been a professional muscian. He shall be missed in full measure..
Pardon me?? Do your homework on Dudley Moore.....
I wonder how much his disease had progressed by the time of this performance. Bless him. I hear mistakes that I don't think are stylistic variations. Such a horrible disease. I remember Dudley Moore as such a perfectionist both as a musician and an actor. RIP, Mr. Moore. You did good. Always.

I still get me Derek and Clive albums out when I need a laugh from time to time.

Wow moved me to tears
Dudley Moore great piano player we 'll miss you dearly rest in ✌ peace.
Both Duddley Moore and Sammy Davis Jr. Lived their lives on stage. They lived to perform. They both died without having really close friends in their lives. Both had genius level talent.
Wherever you are, Henry, you were completely correct. It was fundamental to the movie. And you were fundamental as well.
One the rare times I think 'better than the original.' Magical.
We lost one of the greats 😞 RIP Dudley
My hero undeniable genius best of British RIP
A great performance, thank you for your video!
