a time for us

I heard a young man sing tonight on TV in a show called The Voice. It's compelling viewing, manipulative and thoroughly enjoyable and a real tear-jerker. The young man (30 I think) sang 'A Time for Us' (Un Giorno Per Noi) from Franco Zefirelli's 1960s Romeo and Juliet. I fell in love with the song, the movie, the young actors, everything about it at the time. I was a teenager and like most teenagers developed a crush on Leonard Whiting (Romeo) and Olivia Hussey (Juliet). The song stayed with me forever. Tonight it was sung with a conviction, heartache, turmoil and absolute power. All the judges banged their buzzers and turned around. But the first to do so was Ricky Martin, who only had to hear three notes to commit himself. It was spine-tingling.
His name is Luke Kennedy. Remember that name...
