Who sings over final credits with Julie Andrews?


During the final credits, Julie Andrews sings a version of "It's Easy to Say" as a duet with a male. I can't find any mention of him (or Julie other than as cast) in the opening or closing credits, on this site, or anywhere else.

I doubt it was Dudley Moore. As talented as that man was, I don't think his singing voice was all that great.

Does anyone know?


That wasn't very sporting, using real bullets.

Dudley Moore did in fact duet with Julie Andrews on the End Credits version of "It's Easy To Say". Granted his singing voice was not the greatest, he still did a wonderful job. This is the same recording that was included on the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack released for "10" of which I have a copy (another brilliant score by Henry Mancini and worth picking up if you can locate a copy) Worth the price of admission is Dudley's piano solo of "It's Easy to Say", played live during the filming of the scene at the bar in Mexico and included on the soundtrack.

Other examples of his singing can be found from his score of the original 1967 version of "Bedazzled" which he starred and co-wrote with Peter Cook. He scored the movie and his vocal is featured on the track "Love Me"

This is a much later response. As stevenschauer said, it is indeed Dudley Moore singing with Julie Andrews on the end credits. While true that Dudley's singing voice was not the greatest, it is authentic and endearing coming from him. If they had dubbed him with another voice it would not be right. His vocals are balanced by his skills as a pianist.

The song It's Easy To Say was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song the year that 10 was released. There is a video on YouTube of Dudley performing the song with Helen Reddy at the Oscars. Dudley at the piano still sings like Dudley, of course, and Helen was a great choice as his duet partner. Loved the smile she gives Dudley towards the end although he is too busy at the piano to really see it. You can find the video on the ReddyRockedThe70s channel.

Steven, can you tell me if the piano piece that George plays in the bar, "It's Easy To Say" is on that soundtrack album? I absolutely adore that piece, and when I've found that song on other albums, it's not done nearly as beautifully as Dudley did it in the film. If the soundtrack has that same one that Dudley performed in the film, then I might try to track down that album. Thanks.
