The song is from the 1967 film musical, Doctor Dolittle, written by scripter/composer Leslie Bricusse, and sung here by the movie's lead, Rex Harrison. Criminally, this lovely song--the soundtrack's standout--was hacked out of the movie after a series of poor audience previews, robbing Harrison of his big "My Fair Lady" moment in Dolittle (it still plays, idiotically, in the movie's opening credits medley). It survives on the soundtrack...but the film footage of this scene is now considered lost.
I don't own the copyright here--this is uploaded for fans of Doctor Dolittle's best song, for fans of Bricusse, and for those Youtube viewers who want to hear this song without having to watch that other guy's annoying girlfriend.
