To Sir With Love has been a staple in Luvplanet's live show for some time now. We often end our set with this song, and it always gets an incredible response. After shows, people either ask us, 'What is that awesome song you played? Is it an original? Is it on the cd?' Or they say, 'No way, I can't believe you guys played that! I love that song and I love Lulu!'

Lulu (aka Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie), the Scottish born singer, had been a star in Britain since 1964 when she hit the Top Ten with a raucous version of 'Shout'. In 1967, she landed her first film appearance in the timeless movie To Sir With Love, starring screen legend Sidney Poitier. Microsfot xbox 360 controller driver. The film is a story about the aspiring Engineer, Mark Thackery (Sidney Poitier) who finds himself stuck in a dead end job teaching a class full of rebellious, lower class kids in one of London's worst secondary schools, North Quay. Lulu plays the sassy little brat Ms. Peg, who actually sings the title track in the movie's finale. The song was originally written by Don Black & Marc London who had penned many huge hits for film over the years. This song is the running theme throughout the film, and the melody is very infectious. So much so that it stuck with me for years.

I remember when I was young, my father Hugh Joseph McGee (1930-2004 RIP) would not let me touch the TV unless I watched what he had on. Fortunately for me, he loved classic movies. Year after year there were certain ones he would always see, and To Sir With Love was one of them. I was probably 10 years old the first time I saw it. I was very rebellious as a kid, as most kids are, and I remember watching this movie and thinking, 'Oh my God there's hope'. The movie, centered around young rebels overcoming adversity, reinforced my burning desire and confidence to follow my dreams with the belief that everything would work out ok. I still get a feeling of my youthful innocence when I watch it, and I love that about the movie.

Through the years I would be drawn to amazing female vocalists such as Ann Wilson, Kate Bush, Sarah Brightman, Sandi Saraya and countless others. Eventually I realized one day where it all started, and it was Lulu and this song! Ever since then, I thought it'd be a cool song to cover. Many people have done versions of it, including the legendary Al Green. One day when talking with Nicole about great songs that would be fun to do, To Sir With Love came up and she said, 'Hey let's do it and let's make it rock'. That was all I needed to hear! The version we've done is the full length version with three verses of lyrics in it. This version is only in the movie. The actual single release was an edit with only 2 of the verses. It's really a fun song for us to play, and for me there are many personal reasons I'm attached to it, memories of my Dad being the biggest! There's something timeless about it, and I think that anyone can relate to it in some way. This must be why it was a #1 hit in the U.S. and why it's a hit at the Luvplanet shows! Thanx Lulu!

To Sir With Love Ii Movie

In 1967, the novel was made into a film, To Sir, with Love, starring Sidney Poitier and Lulu, and the film's title song became a number-1 hit that year. The setting for the film was changed from post-war London to the 'swinging sixties', and, notwithstanding its success, Braithwaite had ambivalent feelings towards it, as he admitted in an interview with Burt Caesar conducted for a 2007 BBC Radio 4 programme entitled To Sir, with Love Revisited (produced by Mary Ward Lowery).^[1] Also in 2007, the novel was dramatised for Radio 4 by Roy Williams and broadcast in two parts, starring Kwame Kwei-Armah.^[2]

Plot[edit]

Ricky Braithwaite is an engineer from British Guiana who has worked in an oil refinery in Aruba. Coming to Britain just before the outbreak of World War II, he joins the RAF and is assigned to aircrew. Demobbed in 1945, he is unable to find work despite his qualifications and experience due to racism. After discussing his situation with a stranger, he applies for a teaching position and is assigned to Greenslade School, a secondary school in London's East End.

Most of the pupils in his class are unmotivated to learn, and are only semi-literate and semi-articulate. He persists despite their unresponsiveness to his approach. Students attempt to discourage and demoralise him by disruptive noises, constant use of the adjective 'bleeding' in the classroom and, finally, the burning of a used sanitary towel in the fireplace. This last causes Braithwaite to lose his temper and reprimand all the girls.

Braithwaite decides to try a new approach, and sets some ground rules. The students will be leaving school soon and will enter adult society, so he will treat them as adults and allow them to decide what topics they wish to study. In return, he demands their respect as their teacher. This novel approach is initially rejected, but within a few weeks the class is largely won over. He suggests out-of-school activities including visits to museums, which the students have never experienced before. A young teacher, Gillian Blanchard, volunteers to assist him on these trips. Some of the girls start to speculate whether a personal relationship is budding between Braithwaite and Gillian. The trip is a success and more are approved by the initially sceptical headmaster.

The teachers and the Student Council openly discuss all matters affecting the school including curricula. The general feeling is that Braithwaite's approach is working, although some teachers advocate a tougher approach.

The mother of one of the girls speaks privately to Braithwaite about the girl's troubling attraction to nightlife, feeling that he has more influence with her impressionable daughter.

Braithwaite and Gillian fall deeply in love and discuss marriage. Her parents are openly disapproving of a mixed-race marriage, but realise that the couple are serious and intelligent and must be trusted to make the right decision.

Criticism[edit]

In a review of several of Braithwaite's books, F. M. Birbalsingh wrote:^[3]

Unfortunately, the narration of Mr. Braithwaite's problems in To Sir, With Love is greatly weakened by the rapid and simple solutions that he offers [..] As his frequent acceptance of glowing tribute from admiring colleagues suggests, what chiefly concerns Mr. Braithwaite, regardless of the problems at hand, is the satisfactory projection of his own image as a rather talented and thoroughly civilised black man. [..] All that To Sir, With Love really achieves is a sordid demonstration of the author's vanity.

Nor is his description of specifically racial problems any more discerning. Mr. Outlook download pictures automatically 2013. Braithwaite is shocked when refused social status equal to a Briton with academic qualifications and level of conduct similar to his own; and he constantly stresses the ease with which he could assimilate into British society if only his colour were disregarded [..] Prejudice against him is unfair, he claims, because of his social accomplishment, not because of his humanity; and he implies thereby that prejudice against black people who lack similar cultural habits may be justified.
