The Butterfly Ball - Love is All - Animated Music Video Posted by: theukarchivist
Video duration: 189 seconds This animation dates from the mid to late 70s and was based on the popular Butterfly Ball poem, and inspired by the lavish artworks of Alan Aldridge. The music track on this is NOT the stringently defended Ronnie James Dio version, so if you like that one, go elsewhere on You Tube. This is the one that broadcast on TV in 1981 with the upbeat more-fun soundtrack that many prefer to Dio.
