On the t.v in the uk now is a very well done commercial by Honda. Don't know if any of you have seen it...but The Impossible Dream is played throughout. What a crying shame they didn't use Elvis' far superior version (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Could have been another ALLC me thinks (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/elvis.gif)

I would rather hear Elvis singing it as well.
Everytime I hear it,I want to play Elvis' version.

Doe anyone know who is singing the one
in the advert ?


thanks

Hello Nightrider

According to this website http://andywilliams.com/bb/viewtopic it is Andy Williams who sings The Impossible Dream. It sounds like it was recorded in a dream. I prefer Elvis's version.

I think Honda made a mistake.
They should have used Elvis's version of The Impossible Dream to coincide with the Heartbreak Hotel Anniversary.
