    This song is even more poignant when you’ve seen the movie, “To Sir With Love”, and recall the very deserving Sidney Poitier to whom this song is sung:)

      It's also based on the autobiography of E.R. Braithwaite, a black man from British Guyana.
      It always bugs me when I hear the comedy bit by Bill Burr talking about a "how many times are they going to re-make this movie...white person goes to help black kids at a troubled school", and he doesn't point out (and most commenters don't seem to know) that the original movie was the other way around.

      @@MrVvulf Actually, the "white person goes too help black kids at a troubled school" trope - in books, stage plays, or movies - is OLDER than E.R. Braithwaite's brilliant, Pulitzer Prize- winning 1959 novel OR the 1967 movie 'To Sir, with Love.' For example: and ironically, it was Sidney Poitier [ who played the teacher ( the Braithwaite character ) in the 1967 film adaptation of Braithwaite's novel ] playing the "troubled black youth" in the 1955 "white person goes too help black kids at a troubled school" movie 'Blackboard Jungle.'
      But - Braithwaite, and later the 1967 movie, did manage to make it "the other way around" ( based on Braithwaite's experiences teaching. )

      @@RobertC4458 Thanks Robert, I had forgotten about that movie. But the tone of that movie is quite a bit bleaker and pessimistic than "To Sir, with Love" and the various remake iterations which have followed. "Blackboard Jungle" is more mature and violent, but I always felt it reached for too many rings and wasn't really able to grasp any of them. But your point is well taken.

    "To Sir with Love," was such an amazing movie. You should watch it whenever you get a chance. Sidney Poitier such a class act.
    He received the best actor Oscar in 1964 for his role in "Lillies of the Field." Another terrific movie. Both movies were ground breaking at the time. They dealt with dealing with people based on mutual respect,. The need to look past a person's race, religious faith, ethnicity and seeing their hearts.

    She's singing about the most gorgeous black man on the planet, Sidney Poitier. I loved this movie, and we all totally fell in love with him in the early Sixties.
    Please watch his hit movies, "To Sir with Love", "Lillies of the Field", "A Patch of Blue" (they walked by my Dad's restaurant "Biffs" at 7th and Alvarado in LA. It was right across from MacArthur Park), "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"
    Read his autobiography. I should read it again, so good!
    He and Harry Belafonte were friends in competition. Both became huge stars in the early Sixties.
    Sidney wanted to be an actor and was told his Island accent was too thick, so he listened to the radio and changed his speech himself.

      Yea Poitier is the "sir" she is referring to, since that's what they called him. It's a great movie, and the graduation scene in the end where the actress sings this song to him really tugs on the ole heartstrings. It's a totally nonsexual admiration she(and the other students) had for him, even though one might think it's romantic based on the lyrics.

    This was the era of music i was born into, singers back in those days didnt have to come out on stage half naked, no bouncing all over the stage like they're having a fit or screaming their lungs out just to be heard, back then they were what you call real singers, no auto tunes, just all natural

    Lulu's is ...fuck I don't know what else to say other than burning down the house with this song, it is true singing talent to know how to pull a lyric in sounding gentle then let it out with power then ad juuuust the right amount of vibrato and just friggen play with her enormous talent, her voice is femininity in it's awe inspiring greatness and power. Elegant notes that suspend longer than you thought they could being so beautiful and gentle then radiate and swell into streams of hot plasma bursting skyward somehow taking shape of a heart and soul and passion of the lyrics being sang..... all while being a humble woman. female empowerment is not denying femininity it is wielding it like Excalibur and cutting through the sky.

    I consider the music of the 60's as the greatest decade in Rock & Roll, Rhythm & Blues, Soul and Folk music. Many of the greatest musicians, composers and singer/songwriters came out of the 60's. You must remember many music genres were created in the 1960's. Heavy Metal, Grunge, Psychedelic, Funk and Punk to name a few. Great reaction to one of the best songs of the 60's. This was the title song in the movie " To Sir With Love" starring Sidney Poitier and Lulu.

      The 60s was miles ahead of the 50s and your correct it brought in many innovations of music and I have always said the 60s was the best decade ever for pop music

    This movie always makes me cry... and of course I was always really envious of her voice and of her first husband.
    Maurice joined her on stage in 2002 and sang a duet, “First of May.” Beautiful and bittersweet song by Bee Gees about two young lovers who grew apart. It was incredible watching them sing their own history.
    So sad to think that less than a year later Maurice passed away.

    The group who sing the song "It's Getting Harder All The Time", just before Lulu sings this song, in the film are The Mindbenders, two of the members went on to form the mighty 10cc, my favourite band of all time. They were not in the credits at the end of the film., would love to hear you react to some more 10cc Jua-cam.com/video/VY_CMtM1svs/v-deo.html this is the end of the film

    My uncle, who passed away last year, claimed he dated her back when he lived in London in the 1960's. I never believed him and I used to bust his balls about it every time he claimed he dated her. He even said her song, "I'm a Tiger", was about him.

After seeing that movie I decided on a major in education. I taught school for over 44 years and retired several years ago. I don’t regret one day. Thank you Sir for being my inspiration.
