@@denton115 Blessings Kenny😀👍🙏 Many Thanks for sharing 🙏 Stay Blessed and Safe🙏

Thank you. Love Kenny and Sue x x

Hi Gunners, he was truly one of a kind and I miss him dearly to this day. Kindest regards Kenny

Hi Nicely put, I agree with every word you say. There is a whole generation that has so much to learn. Kind regards Kenny

@@denton115 Thanks, I'm an opera conductor and work with singers and orchestras all the time, live and in the recording studio. I just discovered your videos and website and admire your experience in the studio, as well as your recollections! I think most people don't know the smoke and mirrors that can happen behind the scenes.

@@jrthiker9908 Hi JR I think you are so right about the smoke and mirrors. Also I remember living and breathing the studio everyday, it was a privilege to be able to do so. I also remember only to well in the mid 2000's it was time for my to retire from studios. I was recording sessions with artists forgive me saying, weren't burden with Talent so my heart wasn't in it anymore. So many artists thinking because they could hold an instrument they we're good at it. I was very lucky to have worked in the time I did and with some wonderful amazing talented people. Wishing you all the best with your projects. Kindest regards Kenny.

So well said, perfectly put. Ebony & Ivory was for commercial efforts, Sammy and Tony it was a pure sharing of talent and Love. Kind regards Kenny

Agree 100%. Kind regards Kenny

Adam was a brilliant actor he was in a fabulous TV show here in 1971 called Budgie, if you get the chance have look. www.imdb.com/title/tt0065279/ Kind regards Kenny

Hi Marcus, Here's the background of The Spacelings in a nutshell: In the mid-80s, our daughter was obsessed with The Wizard of Oz, particularly the Munchkins. This led me to wonder what their 80s equivalent might be. I came up with "The Spacelings," imagining them as a pop group traveling the universe, spreading Peace and harmony through moral stories for children. I created characters named Zig Zag and Zara and made a demo of the song "Last Night." With the help of my good friend and manager, we raised the funds to start the project. I collaborated with David Stoten, and after a day of brainstorming, we developed several characters. I asked my children to pick their favourites. Then, I asked my good friend Chris Thompson, known for singing "Blinded by the Light," to sing the lead. We also found Moon and Parrot to handle the animation. We had a promising meeting with the MD of Hanna-Barbera in Pall Mall just before Christmas 1985. He loved the idea and promised to pitch it to the head office in America, but we never heard from him again, and he took some of our ideas which appeared in H/B cartoon sometime later. Actress Hayley Mills offered to contact Disney and even to write some stories, but unfortunately, nothing came of it. In the early 90s, Working Title Films showed interest. A representative who had attended the Spacelings launch had an artist paint the Spacelings on her daughter's bedroom wall wanted to revive the idea. However, after a few months, she informed me that Working Title Films would have to put it on the back burner. During COVID, my wife and I wrote four new stories and added new characters. Our dear friend Bill Kimber did the narration. Despite contacting many production companies, there was no interest. So, we decided to upload our 4 demo productions to UA-cam, where the remain, without to much interest. Hope that helps to explain the history of the project. Kind regards Kenny

​@denton115 Well, today I learned that you weren't just a person who uploaded the song from an old TV airing. You deserved way better. Also, I was kinda wondering if you were inspired by Hanna-Barbara, since it reminds me of Clangers meets The Snorks, but you answered it well. Hopefully, you can get a better deal one day. If you like, you can see about creating a UA-cam series with them. I've seen them become quite popular lately

@@marcusblackwell2372 Hi Marcus. Thank you for your kind comments. I will have a look at setting up a Children's channel for the Spacelings. Did you have a chance to look at "The Gholish Manor" cartoon? I have just released my book "There Ain't No Rules In Rock n Roll" through Amazon books, and I'm busy trying to promote it through various media outlets, as soon I have finished this, I'll spend sometime and try and get the Spacelings up on their own kids channel, thanks again. Kindest regards Kenny

Hi Marcus, I agree with your comment. When COVID arrived my wife and I wrote 4 short new stories and invented new characters, then set about making demo videos to try and gain interest in making a TV series. We aimed at an audience age of between 4&7. Each story had a moral message within. After approaching several productions companies, it appeared that the stories didn't reflect the society of today, in a nutshell we weren't woke enough. The 4 new adventures were created at home on 2 iPads and we were pleased with the results so we placed them on my channel. I have attached a link should you like to see, what we were aiming for. m.ua-cam.com/video/ukSJvCBBFrk/v-deo.html Kind regards Kenny

Hi Janet. I'm pleased you enjoyed the upload. I only spent a few weeks with Gerry recording a 20 year anniversary album re-recording all his old hits and a few new songs. He was a wonderful true genuine guy and a pleasure to work with. Kind regards Kenny

@@denton115 I absolutely love that 20 year anniversary album. That is one of my all-time favorite albums. I try to acquaint my younger friends with Gerry and the Pacemakers. I tell them my favorite 60's group was Gerry and the Pacemakers. Thanks again for the upload and your response here.

@@janetmiddleton8009 Hi Janet, Thank you for your comments, I did remember my wife Sue and I attended the launch of this album at the Stringfellows club in London, this was truly such a wonderful afternoon. Our son Nathan met Gerry and he was so amazing with Nathan making him feel very special. As I said before just one truly talent nice guy, no star ego just someone who considered himself a very lucky person. Luck is one thing but you really need the talent to go along with it and he had so much of that. Kindest regards, Kenny. Ps, if you would like to read about some of my time in the industry please go to kennydenton.com

I agree 100% All the best Kenny

@@denton115 Kenny, I just read all 3 parts of your account of your association and friendship with Tony Newley. So much of what you relate shows up in Tony's face. Shows up in all the phases of his performing life... You do such a good job with economy of words.... giving those of us who love him for himself..... a way of knowing the man himself. We are whole persons.... but all of us .... and Tony seems cobbled together..... and was vulnerable in that period of time in culture and society when norms were more unsettled and shifting....as they are always shifting but some times more than others.... Thank you for the "real deal" on Anthony "Tony" Newley....

Hi I'm glad you enjoyed the upload, all the best Kenny

Hi I agree, as there would be so much more material, for us all to see today. Kind regards Kenny

HI Brad & Russ. Thank you so much for your support and I hope you enjoy the journey, Kenny and Sue x x

Hi Rosa Sorry you don't understand all of the lyrics, but the magic of music sometimes transcends words. Kind regards Kenny. Hola Rosa Lo siento, no entiendes todas las letras, pero la magia de la música a veces trasciende las palabras. Saludos cordiales Kenny

Hi Jason, I appreciate your comment. Admittedly, I'm not entirely confident in transferring these videos effectively. Despite my efforts, it's not my strongest skill. Interestingly, when I play them in my VLC player, the quality of footage looks remarkably superior and displays the full screen. However, when I transfer them to iMovie, the quality is always sadly disappointingly lacking and the screen does sometimes loses the top of the footage, which I apologise for. I do try my best but I'm unsure how to adjust the numbers that you have mentioned to improve this. kindest regards Kenny

Hi Nina, I agree, all of my family were from the East London and I was born in Commercial Road. Although it was tough as my mother used to say, "people just got on with it," but I found whenever Tony was asked about those early days of living in poverty, he always avoided the question. I was told by his mum Grace was born in 1901 that when her father was away in the WW1, being the eldest she was left to look after the family and when he returned, he discovered that Grace had burnt all the furniture to keep her brothers and sisters warm. So maybe tougher for that generation. Kindest regards. Kenny

Agreed, Tony was a one off and never imitated anyone. Kind regards Kenny

I agree, I know that Tony was upset that this movie never reach the notoriety, he had hoped for. Kind regards. Kenny

@@denton115 It has a great cast, script and songs, and the location shooting really adds to the quality of the film. If they could bring it out on DVD it would make a wonderful companion piece to the excellent 1970 Albert Finney Scrooge.

@@TruckOnTyke1 Agreed, but unfortunately the companies are run by young kids who have no interest in what went before, Kind regards Kenny.

Hi Rebecca. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the movie, Tony was truly one great talent and a wonderful person and is sadly missed by us all. Kindest regards. Kenny

I cannot agree more!! This world has lost such a great talent in Tony! Thank you for blessing us by keeping his memory alive!!!@@denton115

Yes your right.

Hi Lucia I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. What an extraordinary talent Tony was and one really wonderful guy. Kindest regards Kenny
