Tony Cartmill Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 My wife tells me "Love Is All That Matters" was a big hit in the Philippines when she was a kid. It has been covered several times by some of their popular artists. It is still played at some weddings today. I heard a 1997 cover by a female artist from PI. It was pretty good. A little faster beat and she repeated part of the line, "Loneliness has ended, Love has set-love has set me free" Interesting...The Philippines: Strange food, good taste in music.

Raspbernie Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Someone from the Philippines once called "Love Is All That Matters" the unofficial anthem of that country. You woudn't believe how much mail I get from the Philippines on that song! --Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hey Tony, It seems to me that the next step would be for you and your wife to contact a Philippine music box company and order up some piano-shaped (or ANY shape!) music boxes that play "Love Is All That Matters".....yes?

darlene Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I LOVE that idea. Lydia has great ideas for "EricCarmen" toys. *I* would certainly buy one right away...Tony, sound like the great start of an import business for you. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy K. Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 I don't know what it is with the Filipinos and Eric Carmen.......I've sung "All By Myself" a couple of times at Filipino clubs here and always got a good response. There are a lot of people over there that may not know Eric by name, but they certainly know his songs.One of these days, I will have to get over there myself. In the meantime, I'll have to just order some Adobo....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted May 22, 2003 Author Share Posted May 22, 2003 Now I'm hearing that "Love is All That Matters" is still one of the favorite cell phone programable ring tones in the Philippines. I've heard 2 more covers of that song sung by popular female artists over there. An American named David Pomeranz is also real popular. Anyone know who he is?

Raspbernie Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Speaking about cell phone ring tones, I just downloaded "All By Myself" to mine :-) --Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Benfer Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 David Pomeranz wrote one of Barry Manilow's early hits. I believe it was "Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
