El Dorado" (1966) (Nelson Riddle / John Gabriel) George Alexander & The Mellomen
In sunshine and shadow, from darkness till noon
Over mountains that reach from the sky to the moon
A man with a dream that will never let go
Keeps searching to find El Dorado
So ride, boldly ride, to the end of the rainbow
Ride, boldly ride, till you find El Dorado
The wind becomes bitter, the sky turns to grey
His body grows weary, he can't find his way
But he'll never turn back, though he's lost in the snow
For he has to find El Dorado
So ride, boldly ride, to the end of the rainbow
Ride, boldly ride, till you find El Dorado
My Daddy once told me what a man ought to be
There's much more to life than the things we can see
And the godliest mortal you ever will know
Is the one with the dream of El Dorado
So ride, boldly ride, to the end of the rainbow
Ride, boldly ride, till you find El Dorado

I lost my dad 33 yrs ago this year and we used to watch all of John Wayne movies together and I'll be 60 this year
My dad passed away earlier this year, one thing we did is watched John Wayne movies together. This brings back good memories. Thank you Duke, for bringing fathers and sons together.
And daughters.
I lost my dad last year he was only 64 me and my brother's used to sit and watch western films with him mostly John Wayne yes bringing back so many good memories together 😢😢
Same here! 😢❤
Same to me my Dad was a buckaroo and military and we love this movies
Same here. Used to watch with my Grandad. Their spirits live on through our memories. Have a blessed day
El dorado is the first movie I watched after my son was born. I still sing the song to him every now and then.
I'm 71 and I grew up with all these old westerns and yes I still watch them to this day.
When I see how the world is in the shape that it is in. I can go get any of my John Wayne movies or Audie Murphy movies or Open Range,,, Broken Trail,,, Lonesome Dove any of them and step back in time and relax and think of the things from before....
Turn the TV back on and all you get is crap
It sure makes me wonder about all the men and women that fought in the back past wars including my dad. my uncle and different ones that died in Germany. ones that died on the Arizona at Pearl harbor in Hawaii... sometimes I wonder if they didn't perish in vain and fight for nothing...
I would have give my life to have lived back then and I still would....
They didn’t die in vain, their sacrifice provided the peace that we’ve had since then. Even if we throw away our freedom now at least we had peace for a long time. Hopefully America will be free again. There are still a lot of patriots and freedom loving people who love America.
AI means new John Wayne movies
Born in 58 grew up watching all of John Wayne movies over and over. As a child could not get enough.
Nothing like a John Wayne soundtrack....they have mesmerized me since a youngster, and I'm now 71...thank you, George Alexander.
I've been watching this since I was a kid. I never get tired of it. It's a masterpiece...it doesn't get much better. My favorite.
I also can listen to this song numerous times throughout the day. The movie keeps me going in life as illegals pour into our great country. Please GOD....help us restore our great country...... ARIZONA
@@davidleslie8678Amen!
@davidleslie8678 don't let those frightening illegals catch you and eat you. Yes, I am being sarcastic.
❤❤❤
I'm so glad my father brought me up watching old John Wayne westerns :)
🤣👢😏😉🤣🏠🤵
Same. Before we sold the house my brothers and I grew up in, we had a party and sang this as a family. My mother cried the whole time.
Mine too. Because of that I have both John Wayne and dad with me forever.
@@walterbradthau9525 why did your mother cry?
Me too
A great song for a great movie.😊😊😊
My father was the original recording artist for this song to be released onto the movie. Jim Foglesong who just recently passed away (RIP Jim) was the head honcho at DOT Records where my father was a song writer and recording artist and Jim got my father to record Eldorado for the movie. Just a few weeks before the movie was released one of the producers had a family member (George Alexander) record the song and his voice was used instead. Nelson Riddle and John Gabriel wrote the song.
Well your father was a very good singer and that's a great song
@@deanromano936 Thank you!
Dear God how proud you must be...I've loved this song like no other
Its a beautiful song partially from E. Allan Poe's poem "Eldorado" (1848, I believe and spelled as one word). The paintings in the beginning are incredible; the artist plays the Swede.
Thank you so much to your father me and my grandad used to watch this and sing this together.
My dad brought me up watching these movies as a kid. This is by far my all time favorite. I'm 28 now and still watch it every now and then. Never gets old. Thanks pops. 😇
My grandpa did the same for me. RIP goat ❤
Growing up my dad worked nearly everyday to provide for the family, I remember sitting with him sunday afternoons watching John Wayne movies with him. One of my favorite memories I have of my old man and me.
Beautiful.
Superbe comme toujour à entendre
A really great song. My dad and I used to watch El Dorado all the time and we still sing this song.
Robert Mitchum had his silly moments in this movie lol
i watched el dorado yesterday it’s a great western movie
John Wayne and Yul Brynner were the Heroes of my childhood and they brought me to Horses and these wonderful Music.
cool
Me too,still find myself watching it after his death
Pragnę obejrzeć ten film to jeden z najlepszych westernów J Weyne i wogule wszystkich jakie oglądałem👍
This song should have been a Number 1 hit. What a song
Have been watching westerns all my life and this is, in my opinion, the best theme song of any western movie out there. It epitomizes everything there is about western genre and they couldn't have picked a better artist to sing it. His voice is perfect for the song and what westerns mean to America.
Dan Wolfe....AGREE. the last great western I saw was Clint Eastwood’s the UNFORGIVEN. Now a days it’s all crappy. Like my sons have told me many times, dad your generation is not the “target” audience anymore. The current “target” audience is dense and would have a hard time understanding the your generation’s movies. The movies today are all animated.
Dan Wolfe thanks for your kind words Dan. George was my great grandpa who unfortunately passed in 2010 but his wife, my great grandma is still alive and adores reading these types of comments when I show her on UA-cam!
@@mama6262ful Some years ago I chatted with a woman who said he was her uncle. She said he was in a nursing home then. I told her to tell how much I enjoyed this music. She told me a good story about him: how sometimes the family would have lunch at a cafe in San Francisco and invariably someone would ask George to sing the song. He would, and she said with his pure voice he did not need a microphone. She said soon people from all over would come into hear him. Said his name was really something else, a Russian name. Anyway, I enjoyed her story. Her screen name was something like 'Terky Tulip" or maybe Twerpy Tulip.
John Meekins wow small world! She may have been my cousin Betty! He was of Russian descent and at our family Christmas parties him and his friends from the Bohemian Club would come over and sing Russian love songs with their instruments. He had an insanely booming voice, even when he spoke so he never once needed a mic 😂 my great grandma is a tiny little thing too so it was very sweet when my great grandma used to boom calling her name
Unfortunately I believe that title goes to the good the bad and the ugly 🕺
My absolutely favorite Western. John Wayne was a class act
I have to say that I have seen this fun movie so many times, I can say peoples lines before they do.
I would watch this with my grandfather who passed away 20 years ago. I like to think that both his generation, experiences and showing me films like this helped make me the man I am today.
Love this song. Brings back so many memories of watching John Wayne movies together with my dad. What a beautiful voice!
My grandfather used to watch me on Saturdays, when I was little. I would sit on the left side of his armchair and we’d watch eldorado every single time. The thing I’ll always remember most, is singing the intro song for him. It was the happiest I’ve ever seen that abrasive old fart. Now, about 20 years later, he has passed. I’ll sing this song one last time at his funeral soon. I hope he’ll hear it, wherever he is, and smile at the memory.
Ohh, he is smiling!
There is nothing better then sitting back and watching the Duke... El Dorado, The searchers, The Quiet man, Big Jake, Rio Brave, Rio Grande, The green berets, She wore a yellow ribbon, true grit....Just my Rifle, My Pony and Me!!!
👏👏👏👏👏
And the Shootist
Stagecoach
Add Sons of Katie Elder, Rio Lobo and Iowa Jima to that!
Iwo Jima, lol Iowa Jima would be fun though
This western movie is amazing I love all John Wayne's westerns. I find them very entertaining and Im only 17. I will for sure be showing this to my kids in the future.
What a beautiful piece and what an amazing voice.
+Bill Alden Thank You Bill for watching
Have a nice weekend
Sue
Bill Alden you know who sings it.
Daniel Garcia George Alexander
Hands down...Best Western Movie Ever! Thanks to Dad for introducing it to me when I was a kid...! I passed it on to my little ones as well!
Without any doubt one of the best Western theme songs.
I have loved this song for decades. It is so beautiful
I use to watch westerns with my dad, and still watch them. This is one of my favorites.
The year was 1968 one year after the Summer of Love. The city was Los Angeles, California the venue Hollywood Bowl on Hyland Ave. The event was Battle of the Bands where teens came to perform, the conductor was Nelson Riddle. The song was El Dorodo the group singing was the Choir from Fairfax High school and in that Choir was a girl who was 16 or 17 years old named Adina .The girls wore dresses and white gloves. Today is March 3, 2022 and we have been married 45 + years and every time she hears this song she starts singing with the same voice from that time period. We still have the vinyl album from this event.
Nowadays I'd be called who-knows-what for wishing ladies still dressed like ladies--it would make this guy swoon!
First saw "Eldorado" in late 80's. And I still watch everytime in TV.
Cheers from a Poland.
Such a heartwarming song with strength, sadness, giving memories, movie tip top too
I love this song...if you are a fan of Westerns...you have to listen to this
Exactly
This to me is one of the best theme songs for a fantastic Western movie with John Wayne, Robert Mitchum & James Caan! I watch this movie practically everyday and never get tired of it. Thanks so very much for posting.
Rest In Peace James Caan he was great in it. 🤠
Tausend mal besser als der langweilige zähe und unlogische Western Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod..Gute 50min langweiliges Rum gestehe an einer einsamen Bahnstation..Musik ist das Einzig Gute..Dann 5 Revolverhelden brüsten sich einen kleinen unbewaffneten Jungen abzuknallen..Wow Was für ne Leistung 🙈🤠👎👎
Die 5 müssten es mal mit J.P. Hara- Sheriff, Nels Mc Leod ,Misissippi, und Cole Thornton Alias John Wayne und als 5 ter Sheriff Wyatt Earp zu tun haben..
Dann wär schnell Feierabend..
Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod als Super8 Filmchen 😜
A Rio Bravo remake. Wayne. Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson.
I totally agree
Wonderful Movie i can watch it over and over and over and never get tired of it,
I play this when I’m depressed. It actually helps me get through
This Song reminds me of Better Times 😊 just saying from Glasgow 😎🇬🇧
One of the greatest soundtracks!
One of my favourite Western!
EL DORADO-RIO BRAVO!!!
I LOVE THESE MOVIES !!!!
exact the same western movies I love the most :)
@@-Quant- Robert Mitchum Dean Martin, absolutely brilliant in both movies, and last but not least THE DUKE.
War Wagon is another good movie
El dorado is my favorite John Wayne movie
This song touches my heart
Ohh ja, das tut es...
Me and my grandpa used to watch this show before he died, I miss that man and this is amazing
I have watched El Dorado since I was a kid and never got tired of it....................best western ever (maybe with the exception of Lonesome Dove). Both are the BEST! By the way have been to where it was filmed (Old Tucson Studios) and I felt close to the DUKE and crowd!!!!!
C. S. Pennington I couldn't agree more! !! Got turned on to the greatest western genre painter in Olaf Weighorst in the deal! !!!!!
C. S. Pennington one of the dukes best!
Jman👀
C. S. Pennington i grew up with john wayne films love em
C. S. Pennington
I can't make my mind up.this or rio bravo
I like the original movie of which this was a loose remake "Rio Bravo" better. But I love this movie as well. Classic Western.
My 8 year old grandson is watching this with me and other John Wayne westerns
@Charles that is so cool Sue
John Wayne and Robert Mitchum, what else can a man ask for a classic movie?
John and Kirk
A rookie actor named James Caan..
My father and I watched this movie when I was a kid. He's 69 now, but man it was worth it.
Don't let him go memories are forever
No better western ever made indeed! Can watch it a hundred more times.
Stephen Jones Great Movie Great cast
Thanks for watching
Enjoy your weekend
Susie
I watch every day after work it never gets old I'll be a suckegg mule if there's anything better
i enjoy this song because I’m a gunslinger
Absolutely the best
It's a good one, but I can think of a few I'd rank higher. The Searchers, The Big Country, The Magnificent Seven ...
like an old friend, watch it so many times, mitchum and wayne filled the scene, also hunnicuts brilliant performance, love it, Graham in England
The Duke in another classic doesn't get any better
boy listening to this song makes me feel more melancholy the older I get.
I know what you mean mate.
My melancholy started the day I first saw a John "Duke" Wayne western when I was a child aged 5'years old and I'm fifty years old this April ride boldly ride still looking for ELDERADO!.🤠🌹✊🕊️🙏🇬🇧💎😎👍
Same
I really like this movie. A whole lot. I wish we have more movies like this film. It’s so much more fun and entertaining.
What a brilliant film score and fantastic lyrics, great music set to the best western ever made ! John Wayne was the best and his kind is sorely missed. We need more men like him that are proud to be American and love the cowboy image.
Watching this with my grandfather brings back so many great memories
Their is no doubt that the western era was the best you would never get tired of watching those great shows
This 『El Dorado』is my best Western Movie. John Wayne & Robert Mitcham is very nice combi!!
Watched it the other night great TV western s great songs and Theme s in those days 👌
Wow! I'll have to watch it again. Didn't realize how great the theme song was. Real man's singer and song, as someone noted. Love the two key changes.
Love this theme song.
I’m only 16 but I’m glad my dad brought me up with westerns in my life. This is definitely in my top 3 with hondo, and rio lobo
Gute Wahl, wobei, es ist ein Wayne. Da ist es egal welcher Film...
Another masterpiece of John ( the duke) Wayne rest in peace 🐴🐴🐴
This song is so calming and soothing
Its a world empathy feeling song I love it !!
It is sad that many today cannot appreciate films and music like this. I am watching El Dorado on tv now but missed the opening, so I had to come here to hear it.
One of the great themes of those fantastic westerns they made in those days. Magnificent 7 was another one along with Gunfight at the OK Corral.
Law man. Burt lancaster.
A great song and a great movie!
This song always spoke to me on such a metaphysical level
I play this great Western tune now and again just to remind me of john.Wayne and all those great Western hero s ❤
Everytime I here this great western song I shed a tear for all the cowboy stars we have passed on my cowboy hero james Drury and recently I c we lost the great l q Jones a ranch hand at shiloh for a few seasons r I p
“If it's not true don’t say it. If it's not yours don’t take it and if it’s not right don’t do it.”
Family motto of James Drury, from his grandfather who was a pioneer.
My buddy had it inscribed on the watches he gave his sons when they turned 14.
Some of our politicians would have benefited if their dad's had taught them that motto.
I grew up on John Wayne movies. This is my favorite song next to Cindy.
Amazing songs
@@chelseyward1725 For sure easily
My father mother and I watched this when I was a kid momma's gone dad's 83 and at 41 I'm still watching this is the only movie that calms me
Cant get enough of this great theme song to a movie. Great movie great actors great entertainment for everbody.
RIP James Cann!
I love these ballads to these old westerns !
Einer der besten Western überhaupt und ein Lied, das man nie vergisst.
Beautiful, beautiful music.
Love it, still love it. First I saw that movie, when I was a little girl
Magnífica música y excelente fotografia
Amo este filme, não me canso de revê-lo. Filmaço.
Great theme song, and one of the best westerns ever made!! Filmed at OLD TUCSON!!
love this song
Nelson Riddle...no wonder....I love 💘 it!!!!
Reading through the comments reminds of Gen. Patton quote. "Rather than mourning the loss . . . " Same goes true with these old movies and the old days. "Thank God those memories are still alive."
Thank you for putting up the greatest song of the movie Eldorado one of my great childhood memories
This song has been a source of strength for me, I've sang it since my younger days in the good times and the bad, at home and abroad, to celebrate life's victories and to draw courage through times of hardship, defeat and discouragement.
I just received this video in a text from my youngest daughter who has left home to find her own El Dorado, no comment along with it but I know what she means to share...and I feel the tears.
Just want to say thanks for making this video, well done.
@Edmond Thanks for sharing Stay Safe
Sue
@@susansoldies101fm Ride, boldly ride. 😉
@@edmonddantes3640 Till you find El Dorado
A life in the saddle. Wonderful.
I love this theme song
I echo what others have said, this is my favourite western ever. I never get tired of watching it and I'm just going to get another fix.
Fecha murió manolo actor gran chaparral
I remember this when it first came to cinemas in the UK. A top theme song, finely sung.
John Wayne A Legend
This was the first western movie I watched when I was 6 at my grandpa’s house to this day it’s still my favorite
R I P, DUKE, thanks for all the westerns, enjoyed them all over and over,
I have an Autograph from Duke,with Dedication ,i 'm so proud of that, 1972 in Los Angeles
@thomas Thanks for sharing that here Sue
I miss all the original paintings from the movie. Excellent artist!
All of those paintings lie in the Museum of the plains in Oklahoma. I was brought up there.
Reminds me of when I was a kid.
It must have been nice to see in the cinema at the time with those beautiful paintings accompanying the credits.
And the movie was good too!!!
How nice to read all those comments. I'm 72 now and watched that film probably more than 100 times..
and others..
Love those wonderful old Westerns,! They are "masterpieces"! Nothing of the like today. Regret those olden times and à tous like John Wayne and Mitchum..
Where have they all gone?God bless them!
actors
Hee, der Film war/ist nicht gut... er ist absolute Spitze!
The beautiful paintings in the film’s opening credits were created by the actor that played the gunsmith called The Swede. Beautiful song amid beautiful paintings & and a colorful delightful movie!!!! There will never be another John Wayne! I’m almost 70 & have loved him since I was a little girl. ❤
Lovely song from one of big John greatest movies love ❤️ el dorado & the by George Alexander makes the movie unforgettable directed by the great Howard hawks who geve us rio bravo & red river classic 🤠🐴🐎
