MGM Studio Orchestra and Chorus (under the direction of Herbert Stothart)
From the 3 hour 1962 MGM color film ‘Mutiny On The Bounty’

This film was credited with being the first widescreen process film (Ultra
Panavision 70)
This film was nominated for 7 Academy award Oscars.
Ultra Panavision was the name given in 1960 to the existing film process called
MGM Camera 65, a system created jointly by MGM and Panavision in 1957. The
process was used to film "Raintree County" in 1957 and Ben-Hur in 1959.
Following the name change, Ultra Panavision 70 was used for some scenes in
1962's "How The West Was Won" and for the entire production of 1962's "Mutiny On
The Bounty".
Come with me to the islands
Come my love, follow, follow me
Under the lure of pure enchantment
Love will unfold her golden mystery.
All night long I will hold you
Till the stars slip into the sea
I'll weave a crown of rainbows in your hair
Many a moon I'll spend with thee.
Love is waiting; follow, follow me
Love is waiting; follow, follow me
Love is waiting; follow, follow me...
Follow, follow me.
