A bit of an acoustic mas terpiece that sadly left us at an early age. This song still brings goose pimples and a lump in my throat...definitely one of the best ever of his kind

Glad you enjoyed it Arthur and CC nice number.

There was a glut of great ballad singers in the seventies going into the early eighties...something today that has never been repeated...in fact there was so much that was beautiful and really good talent and taste.

Here's just a few that brings back good memories and sometimes sad.

Excellent music of years gone by unfortunately. Thanks guys.
Still brings emotions to the fore irrespective of how often these songs are played.

I'm surprised you didn't include Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Excellent choices CC, and yes Old Man is my favourite Neil Young number.

 Leonard Cohen good composition of music and words.

Lovely Denny...enjoyed this classic. There's another flashmob performance of the same at the Copenhagen station in Denmark...somewhere on u-tube that's also very good.

Never been fortunate in coming across one...my good lady did in her country...they happen quite often there...the Russians love singing and dancing and contrary to what foreigners think are spontaneously happy people. They also become very united when traditional songs are sung.

Here's one...in a supermarket of all places...notice how a store manager stops it for awhile...the peoples faces sink in disappointment and then he bursts out in song...typical Russian humour.

Awesome....you gotta love the confused look on the faces of the shoppers.

Something different ;

I think it's great when musicians play and people dance and sing to give something to other people, especially when they are talented and have good singing voices.
