Anyone remember him and his great songs?
Gaye, Home thoughts from Abroad of which was my favourite.

[Zacs-Master]

Yep, they play them on R2 now and again (Steve Wright, usually). Both beautiful songs.

yes, an amazing talent. He was a real poet.

[Bathsheba]

OMG!! When I saw the name in Recent Posts I thought for a moment there that he'd been taken from us as well.

He died in 2001 I'm afraid Baths.

[Captain2]

He was taken quite a while ago, I think Baths. But not forgotten, he regularly gets played on Mamya's good night thread.

[Patsy33]

He wasn't very old was he? Think he had MS. Left behind wife and 2or3 children. A great poet certainly, loved his music.

[Bathsheba]

Phew, 2001, that's a relief :)

Thanks for link Z M. Just listened to Home thoughts from Abroad, got a bit emotional listening, beautiful.

[Zacs-Master]

One of the few artists to make me get a bit emotional.

[Bathsheba]

Tony Blackburn played A Song For Guy on Radio 2 earlier...that's one of very few songs to make me cry :(

Ta Tony. Since they mucked about with YT vids on here it's difficult to post. So emotional.

[tonyav]

Yes Zac, he was a great song writer.
