Rolf Harris – Two Little Boys (1969)

My favourite song when I was 5 and still sounds great today.

Clearly a key inspiration for Steven Spielberg’s take on “War Horse”.

Rolf achieves in 3 minutes 29 seconds what Spielberg could only dream of aspiring to in his bloated 146 mins and 27 secs (approximately) epic.

Rolf’s unflinching eye for detail and remorseless dissection of the futility of war leaves the listener gasping, his or her perspective forever altered. Any misanthrope humanised ….

Nick Cave took notes but never matched.
