| To Sir With Love Artist: Lulu Peak: #1 Lyrics by: Lulu Year: 1967 Week peaked: 10/21/1967 Those schoolgirl days Of telling tales and biting nails are gone But in my mind, I know they will still live on and on..... But how do you thank someone Who has taken you from crayons to perfume? It isn`t easy but I`ll try If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters That would soar a thousand feet high.... To Sir with love The time has come For closing books and long last looks must end And as I leave, I know that I am leaving my best friend A friend who taught me right from wrong And weak from strong, that`s a lot to learn But what can I give you in return..... If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start But I would rather you let me give my heart To Sir with love. |

| TO SIR WITH LOVE was A Major Motion Picture of the Sixties...controversial and powerful in its racial content and message...a sign of the changes to come. A step towards positive changes in human rights and respect for the individual regardless of race, color or beliefs. Maybe a little "dated" now but it was definitely a movie to remember. I can't help but wonder what "Sir" would think of the kids of this generation.....this takes place long before body piercings and tummy shirts, tatoos, Goths and green Mohawk hairdos....food for thought? This was Sidney Portier's "hey day" as a very handsome and dignified actor and gentleman....he helped to break the Hollywood barriers in regards to being one of the first Black (the proper word was "Negro" at that time) leading men....the rest is history. |
