Simplicity and sincerity again are evident in every bar of this beautiful 19th-century

Welsh song. It is a credit to Perry that he can perform such inspirational music without

losing any of its credibility. His religious beliefs and devotion to family life are well

known and an inspiration on their own. He always included on his weekly TV show

an inspirational song or two, which fit in perfectly with his own character

and personality.

 

( notes from "The Incomparable Como" Readers Digest UK compilation 1975 )

 

Notes: ~ "The ancient Welsh folk song, "Ar Hyd y Nos" was formerly sung to an English setting,

"Here beneath a willow weepeth poor Mary Ann." It is best known outside Wales today by

the title "All Through the Night"
