Don accepts the Oscar for 'Born Free' from Dean Martin
‘Born Free’ won an Oscar for ‘Best Song’ in 1966. It became a song not about lions, but about freedom. It drew from Don some of his most popular verses, and together with John Barry and his easy, deep-breathing music, they created a song that seems to embrace life, nature and the joy of liberty.
