"Theme from The Deer Hunter" 
"The Deer Hunter"《獵鹿者》的配樂, 是英國作曲家 Stanley Myers 的古典結他作品 "Cavatina", 用作1970年電影 "The Walking Stick" 港譯 :《劫寶情魔》的配樂; 影片公映之後, Stanley Mayers 把樂譜重新編曲, 同年, 交由 John Williams 以木結他演繹, 成為當年的 "Easy Listening 舒暢音樂" 之一。

1976年, Cleo Laine 把樂譜撰上歌詞的 "He Was Beautiful" 面世, 感性的聲調加上 John Williams 的木结他伴奏, 仍不被樂迷追捧, 至1978年, John Williams 的音樂版本 "Cavatina" 用作 "The Deer Hunter"《獵鹿者》的配樂 "Theme From the Deer Hunter"; 同年, 這樂曲再由英國樂隊 "The Shadows" 的結他手 Hank Marvin 以電結他彈奏, 唱片面世之後即登上英國與荷蘭, 今天稱 Nederland 里德蘭的流行歌曲細碟榜, 自此, Cleo Laine 撰詞和演繹的一曲 "He Was Beautiful" 才再被樂迷關注。

"CAVATINA"
除了 John Williams 以音樂演繹之外, 樂譜經撰上不同歌詞的作品, 有1979年 Van Hill 的歌曲 "When You Walk Through Life" 與 2015年 Helmut Lotti 的 "Sweet Love of Mine"。1979年, 香港歌手 Albert Lam 林子祥演繹, 由鄭國江撰詞的中詞西曲 "原野是我家", 與及 2004年, 前藝名 "黃浩詩 Janelle Wong", 香港舒情爵士樂女歌手 Susan Wong 黃翠珊演繹的 "Cavatina", 同樣成為香港樂迷喜愛的版本。


"He Was Beautiful" - Cleo Laine and John Williams
He was beautiful, beautiful to my eyes,
From the moment I saw him sun filled the skies.

He was so, so beautiful, beautiful just to hold,
In my dreams he was springtime, winter was cold.

How could I tell him what I so clearly could see?
Though I longed for him, another trusted me completely so I never could be free.

Aah but it was beautiful, knowing now that he cared,
I will always remember times that we shared.

Now it's all over still the feelings linger on,
For my dream keeps returning now that he's gone.

For it was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful to be loved.
