It was the Academy Award Winner for Best Song--Original for the Picture in 1972
One of the greatest songs ever!!!! Here you can hear the original (recently published) version as it was performed in the film by Renée Armand, who was dubbing the singing voice of Nonnie (the character played by Carol Lynley). Later, the song was recorded by Maureen McGovern and that was the version included in the soundtrack (very good and the most famous too). But this one, is the original... rite from the film. Enjoy!!!
I wonder why they didn't just release this version of the song? I really love it. Love the Maureen McGovern one too, but you can really hear the movie in this one. Thumbs up to Renee Armand.
Both versions are beautifully done, however I believe this version was chosen to represent the film's theme song early on, as well as to provided ongoing inspiration and momentum throughout filming and production to the cast and crew involved in what turned out to be a forerunner in what is now known as the major, motion-picture complete with theme music/song genre. In its own right, this version very likely contributed GREATLY to the spirit and overall success of the movie. With this version of the movie's theme song in mind, it brought out the best in a first rate cast who all together did such a great job with the script, and by the end of production, final edits, etc., the powerful story and triumphant ending needed a stronger voice and a more up tempo timing and slightly stronger sound to finish with. I can see how both versions were instrumental in creating this timeless, classic movie.
They should have had Renee record the “official”’song. I prefer her voice better than McGovern though McGovern has a great voice. I can hear McGovern copying Armand’s proper British English enunciation.
I recall a lounge sceen where the band is either practicing or playing for cruisers and this is the version the blond, female band lead singer is singing. I don't know if they are one & the same, or if the actress was lipsyncing. So this version was at least used in a sceen of the movie. Business is business and using someone who was a proven chart topper was not only the safest thing to do, it was a way to get free movie aproval from McGovern's fan base and additional movie advertising as it climbed the music charts. But I recall the band doing this version within the movie.
Both great versions.
Maureen sounds like she's determined to survive,
while Renee sounds like she's praying to survive.
Yes! Well put. 🙂
With Karen Carpenter singing this it would be utterly fantastic!
With GOD there is always a morning after eternally forever Amen 🙏.
Maybe there's one for him and his two buddies. But for us it's ... nox una dormienda.
Ever since hearing this gem, sung so beautifully by Renee Armand, I have no desire hearing anybody else sing it. Makes me very happy when I'm down
same here.
@@jefflondon80 glad I'm not alone. I'm going to listen to it right now. Have a great day!
The whole world should hear this right now!😢
no disrespect to Maureen McGovern because it's not her fault, this version is like bach compared to the bay city rollers version that comprised the single...record companies are great at making money while lower standards...anyway...Renee Armand's interpretation is the definitive one of this song in my opinion
When this film was released in Singapore in 1972 I saw it 5 times andone of the reasona was this song. I was writing the lyrics in the dark etc and I was singing professionally then I think I was the first to sing it on stage there. No disrespect to Maureen MacGovern but the hit version lack the simplistic beauty of Renee's version and I have searched for this version for 39 years so you can imagine my joy when I finally found it. This song will always remain close to my heart
I love both versions. This one sounds more like someone who's actually fighting for survival. Great singer.
SIGH isn't this version just so so pretty and it sounds like an actual lounge song that might have been sung on the ship for entertainment instead of the version released on the single by Maureen McGovern I LOVE this version so much more. I can clearly picture the ships' ballroom and the party from the movie.
The song that made me fall in love with Carol Lynley.
I have seen this movie at least 100 times ... no joke. I always assumed that Carol Linley actually sang the song in the movie. Until now I had never heard of Renee Armand but love the movie version of the song. Goes to show you learn something new every day!
I saw the 1972 version of The Poseidon Adventure. Two Reverends were in the Film. The young Reverend led some passengers to freedom. The old Reverend was encouraged by the younger Reverend to accompany them, but his classic reply showed his love and concern for those left behind: "These people need me here." A very noble heart indeed.
I like much more this version. It's sweet and gentle. Carol Lynley was great "singing" Renee's version.
Time to put this on repeat for the next 18 months.
劇中歌ですね！
ノニー&ブレイカーズの演奏シーン、感動しました！
Ironic, as most of the people in the ballroom who heard that song that night would never see the morning after. Kinda sad when you think about it...
I've always preferred this gentle version to Maureen McGovern's strident and bombastic one.
You'd even like bagpipes!
I liked Maureen McGovern for other things but her version would have made even the Greek god Poseidon cower in fear. So STRIDENT!
well said Seederman.
Seederman Same! I play with Renée. I like how she does it. It’s how it should sound. :)
Well, aren't you critically special? 🙄🙄🙄
Renee Armand Heaven Sent Voice🎵
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for posting this. I've literally been looking for this version for years. Maureen's version was good, but Renée brought such a poignant, melancholy feel to this song that really captured the soft-focus of adult contemporary during that part of the '70's, very Carpenter-esque.
One of the greatest movie songs of all time! Either version a number one! Unless I missed it, I don't think Renee Armand is listed in the movie credits! That's a shame. Renee has recorded lots of wonderful songs. Check out her "Dancing In The Dark" from 1978! Should have hit the top 10 of the Hot 100!
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER WRITEN FOR ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTION MOVIES EVER MADE !! LOVE IT :)
I am so thrilled that you responded in UA-cam. I shall never forget your version of this song. Thank you Reneee
my fave version of this beautiful song and tune it always moves me and at 62 now it still does .
Musicians:
Vocals - Reneé Armand
Electric Piano - Carole King
Guitar - Danny Kortchmar
Bass - Charles Larkey
Drums - Harvey Mason
Thanks for posting this version of the song! I like it so much, it's more subtle and less commercial. I love it!!! thanks for posting your back story,Renee. I find it interesting to know the story behind famous songs and movies.
Any person that thinks Maureen McGovern is a poor singer needs to give their head a shake , she is a very successful singer and so is Renee Armand .....apples and oranges .....
Best version, no question about it... so much sad passion, like a soft whisper being told to a friend or loved on... as opposed to the MCGovern's version that is simply over the top and more about "look how epic and grandiose I'm exclaiming these lyrics", losing all the meaning behind the words.
I think what you observed is simply the fact that Maureen McGovern is a Broadway star with a vocal range that simply can't be reached by ms Armand.
@@MS-wb5mf It's not about "vocal range" or anything like that. In my opinion, Renee Armand's version is more poignant, and comes across as more sincere. The last thing a song like this needs is a "Broadway star" approach. Besides, you don't know that Ms. Armand couldn't have hit the same notes in the same way as Ms. McGovern, had she wanted to bellow in the same over-the-top way.
@@larryhensley8586 I like the Renee Armand subdued version and it has it's place, however what your suggesting is like kicking Luciano Pavarotti off the stage and sending up Kris Kristofferson to perform Ava Maria because you felt that version had a more direct approach. I think anyone who knows anything about music can see the difference, Maureen Mcgovern puts an unbelievable degree of feeling into the song.
Her angel-like voice makes me feel a bit closer to heaven... Isn't she wonderful? Such a pity, I'm born in the 70s. Part through decades, but still can feel how softly, beautiful Renée is.
This is very Carpenter Like ;-) Today they cant match this smooth 70s lounge sound any more
@Rusty i dont think so, maybe when Renee Armand was young
I love it. Not having read any of the comments I was saying this sounds like the original. Being poseidon adventure fan, this was a treat. Thanks for posting
Love Renée! Seeing her here at The Red Room Cabaret Wed. opening night. Her soul is bared in her performances.
Happy birthday Renee,blessed be.
Beautiful & the original one ☝️
Rest in peace, Carol Lynley, who lip-synced this song for the movie in her role as Nonnie Parry.
Such a beautiful song. I feel chills from this angelic voice. peace, love and hope.
I always thought Carol sang this in the film and I loved it. Needless to say, I never was able to find her recording of it. Although I really liked the version by MM, the movie version was the one that haunted me....something about it just struck a cord. Now I have found this by the movie singer Renee Armand and it is as great as I remember it. Thanks for posting.
I was 4 years old when my parents took me to the movies to see this great movie. The song will forever remind me of being a child in those days. great song, the original version♡
Beautiful song, which I fell in love with during the movie, The Poseidon Adventure. RIP in peace Carol Lynley, who lip-synced this song in the movie. I was 17 in 1972, the year of the movie, & it made an impression on me. Years later, in management training, the movie was used in demonstrating true leadership. Gene Hackman's character showed this true leadership. But as a young teen, I connected with Carol's character -- so pretty, so young, so vulnerable.
nice song...nice sounds....great picture.....FOREVER
I like Maureen's. It' very powerful and exudes strong emotions.
yes right from the film and the better one, Maureen destroys the song,.......
Such an angelical voice!
💥Pude ver la película.,” la aventura del Poseidon .,@ una gran película y un gran tema musical.,- muy de acuerdo al argumento.,- cómo sea.,- la canción e interpretación de aquella joven.,💥m dejo impactado gratamente 💥‼️🎶🎵
She is terrific live in a cabaret and check out her singing and work with dear John Denver.
Yes! Hearing Renee Armand and John Denver singing together is the closest thing to Heaven, here on Earth!
Gary, she is also the female vocalist heard on Hoyt Axton's Boney Fingers as well.
Really? I will! I love her voice! Talented, nice woman.
@@BradOlsonBemidji Which she co-wrote with him.
Nice song, remember how beautiful Carol Lynley was, she was Nonnie in the movie.
This is the best version as it sounds like it did in the actual movie.
I just watched the poseidon adventure on tv, and I fell in love with this song
I loved the scene in the movie when beauty Lyndley sings this and the waiter mocks her saying "Morning after" with his European accent.
Loved this song since the first time I saw the film. Beautiful voice.
Renee, sweet and soft...Maureen, emotion and brave....great for both....ambas fantàsticas..las dos versiones representan la eternidad de esta maravillosa canciòn y la pelìcula a la que pertenece....un aplauso para ambas....
Dear Renne.A long time in China I missed your songs. Now back in Germany I enjoy again.
How beautiful! 😢
Beautiful
Beautiful...
thank you very much Renee
This version was actually sung by Renee Armand and lip synced in the movie. Renee Armand has many connections to other songs as well. For example, she sang the female part of the duet "Boney Fingers" with Hoyt Axton.
adored the way scantily-clothed Carol Lynley sings this (dubbed with Renee's voice) in the movie's beginning before the New Year Celebration and disaster takes over
very carpenters like smooth voice and sound - great!
Beautiful.
A interpretação da Renee é singela. Tem muito mais profundidade. Em suma ficou muito linda.
one of my favorite songs..........
I am so glad you posted this hozkarinn007! I love the song and like Maureen McGovern but Renee Armand's is my personal favorite :)
To finally find this song does me great joy, and comfort. I can now go back to a time of careless ness fun growing up. The movie was a first for me.
Am I the only one who finds it ironic that this song was in the original, yet in the sequel, the morning after the capsizing is when it takes place? Also, this song reflects the struggles of the characters from the film.... moving closer to the shore, escape the darkness, find the sunshine.
Thank you for uploading this beautiful song! :)
I was 9 when I watched the movie and this song has been in my heart ever since. Music is immortal!
I was 7
l just watched this movie this afternoon and I remembered this song from when I was a little girl and saw it with my parents. Great memories and a great song! I love this version of it. Thanks so much Renee for the soft loving version!
brings back the memories
Maureen oversang this, Renee gave it the intimacy it needed.
@Mrs. Phyllis Stephens have you??
The original title was "Why there's got to be a morning after".
As it sound, it was too dark even for a disaster movie. Irwin
Allen asked the Composers to change the title and they did
"Morning After" with strong sense of hope.
What A Heaven Sent Voice🎵
RIP Carol
As it says above written by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn who also won an oscar 2 years later for We Many Never Love Like This Again(Maureen McGovern) from the Towering Inferno and nominated song 2 yrs alter Candle On The Water(Helen Reddy) from Pete's Dragon. Although Maureen McGovern's version of Morning After was a No 1 hit it doesn't compare to the simplicity of Renee Armands version that was used in the film itself. I saw the Poseidon Adventure 5 times in 1972 partly because I loved the song
You must have been 12 years old in 1972…. like me! I saw it 3 times in the theatre . It was the first movie that had really awesome , believable special effects! I think the year before, Bedknobs and Broomsticks had won that Oscar. Such a joke, they eliminated it as a competitive category the next year - so the Poseidon effects team got a well deserved honorary Oscar… it also had IMHO, the best all-star cast of all time!
She sings fantastic backup on Hoyt Axton's song boney fingers. Awesome voice.
She eventually sang backup for John Denver also.
Larry , you did the same thing I did at first; you saw the film and have a permanent association between Carol Lynley and Renee Armand as it is more believable that Carol could perform that version, I understand and I did the same thing however when the McGovern version came out it was dramatic and powerful; I had the ability to separate the two and saw the Mcgovern version as something that represented the entire film not just the scene with Carol.
Lovely
@gracefarm1- hi Renée, thank you so much for your contribution. I found it most disappointing it largely went unnoticed! Along with this song we hear you here, your writing credit to the legendary One Day In Your Life song is in itself legendary. Thank you.
참으로 명작입니다.
Love this song . Waited for this version forever . Thank you !
Renee's album featuring Raining in L.A. shoulda been yuge!
All these years later so evocative of 1972 and watching the closing credits of this epic film. All the terrifying & sad aspects of the movie coming to mind, with this melancholy song and it’s theme of hope to cling to.
One of my favorite songs
This is the one. Thanks for posting it.
Ten times better than McGovern's overblown overproduced version
+Twaddles McGee It is...I totally agree!
+Twaddles McGee I agree with you as well it is better.
TheKendog1988 this song brings comfort to me
@Mrs. Phyllis Stephens you have no clue...
@Mrs. Phyllis Stephens - For a long time, mcgovern version was the only one released on the phonographic market, so people who loved the film version had no option but to purchase the compact disc with mcgovern - my father included. The Oscar vote took place long after the film became a worldwide success, with expert critics celebrating the song well before the release of McGovern's version - members of the academy had this in mind. Allen would not admit that the version with Renée was released worldwide at the time of the film, because he obviously did not want the world to know that Lynley had been dubbed when she sings the song. Ok we all up to speed?
Hammerfilm! Hammersong!
such a lovely voice! EPIC!
Although Renée Armand was the first one to
record this song from the Poseidon Adventure,
it was the version of Maureen McGovern that
took off in Charts.Later it won the Best Song
Category at the Academy Awards.
Thanks for posting this version
Hope.... a unique emotion
Oh Wow, I always thought it was Carol Lynley actually singing in the movie. Thanks for posting this.
This song played all the time on FM radio, I remember singing along when I was a kid. We also sang this song at my 8th grade graduation ceremony.
Sa me rappelle la séquence de l arbre de Noël ou le pasteur mets les paluches au panier pour monter dans le sauvetage des passages du bateaux
Absolutely Ron DiFabbio! I ALWAYS liked the version of this song that was in the original movie best, but I never heard it anywhere besides the movie. Where did this come from? I love it. Of course, I'd even like bagpipes.
Soundtrack .
Renee Armand sings this as good as Maureen McGovern
Sa me rappelle le film du the poseidon ou le bateaux se retourne o moment du sauvetage. La grosse reste coincé dans l arbre de Noël ou le pasteur mets les paluche. Au panier
very veri good
They are both great.
I enjoyed her voice in the Poseidon Adventure and Carol Lynley did a great job in lip-syncing that song in the movie
beutyiful song ;)
Yeah. ;)
