Once again, thanks for finding the source of the original singer of
Born Free, Umesh. Didn't realize it was Matt Monro. Didn't even hear
of his name actually, much less be familiar with his singing.
But I too like his rendition the best.

I am glad we share similar tastes in music. I saw the movie clip on
YT but also saw the old Black and White scene of the song sung by
Matt Monro long before the movie came out.

But the natural scenary of the clip earlier sent seems more like it.
Cheers.

Umesh,
Yes, there was that movie 'Born Free' based on a true story of Joy
and George Adamson and of their raising a lioness "Elsa".
There were a couple of sequels - Live Free, and then Forever Free.
I think that song, Umesh, is the lead song in that movie.
Though, the the movie was a big sensation at that time, there was
some controversy later regarding raising lions and other wild life
in captivity. Today, the focus it seems is to leave them undisturbed
in their habitat, and there are very few exceptions when humans are
encouraged to interfere with the natural order of things.
Some of those are in the cases like protection for the bald eagle,
or helping a beached whale, and those like the panda from extinction.

Thanks for posting it Umesh. It is one of my all time favorite
songs. I am not sure of it, but I think it is Andy
Williams who sang it. Back in college, in the sixties, my neighbor
at the hostel who had a stereo system and long playing records, gave
me an extension with which I put up two cheap speakers in my room.
He had this particular 45 RPM record. And the lyrics remain etched
in my memory.
BTW, there was a movie, about a lioness cub in Africa, raised in
captivity and released into the wild, also from the sixties, named
Born Free, and which was wildly popular across the globe. I saw it
in Kolkata sometime between, perhaps '65 and '69.
