Missing my Mommy! I hate cancer. It took Mommy away from me to be tortured by the fact that she's gone everyday for the rest of my life. Folks....love your Mothers all you can while she's here,because, once she's gone, there will be some dark days ahead. God Bless you!
awww don't worry your sweet little heart, your mommy is still very much alive each time you smile at her memories, each time you look in the mirror. Her spirit lives on in and around you, the beautiful life she created 💞💞

Listen to this once a day. Brings back so many good memories, makes me smile and sometimes a little tear will fall. One of my all time favourites, beautiful xx
Same here, times when things were good, not a care in the world. Blasting out on our way on holiday in the old Granada. Now it's a tough world, parents are gone. I just try find the strength my parents had for my own kids
The year is 2022 and Freddy Mcgregor is still the king of reggae 🙌 such a deep voice. Singers back then had such talent and skills you just don't see anymore.
I lost the only man I ever cherished 16 years ago. Lord knows the pain is still there. John your memory will never fade, even thou they say time eases the pain. I know my pain is for ever until we meet on the other side. God bless you and I hope you are as happy over there as we were together over here.
Yessss me too nd reggae not the same anymore this song gives me memorys I'm only 23 but I was braught up with this music. I love this song. Big up BRISTOL st.pauls. oldskool vibez #ForLifeee
Those folks who gave this song thumbs down didn't mean to. I think they pressed by mistake. Who wouldn't love this song. That's a Boss Song. Real rythm and lyrics. "I ratherr to be loved and needed than being lonely."
When you meet someone who gets you, loves you, adores you, makes you feel like you don't need to be anyone else but yourself, makes you feel needed and cherished. Your soul and mine have known each other eternally.
Brings my back to the days when my father and I would dance to reggae all day...this was his fav song...we have this song on repeat until I fell asleep..lol...miss you daddy #daddyslilgirl
Oh God bless you lovely lady. I get memories losing my nan.what a wonderful world.my bamp.pavrotti. rat pack. N my dad sitting on the dock of the bay. P.s I love this song too it takes me back n warms my inside. I hope n pray u have a lovely dayx
i just dont wanna be lonely, i lost my wife last october 24 2016 i love her always and really really miss her i am crying right now this music reminds me of her, we share our love just 1 year and 3 months. if we dont have 8 months old baby i will die too..
thanks i am now trying to move on forgetting the lonely days remembering just only the beatiful time that weve been together, im travelling north luzon of the philippines just using our motorycycle to fulfill our dream to travel there even though she's already gone im sure she's still with me every single day of my life. :'(
yes i will my friend oh can i call you friend? eventhough im from diffrent country? i just want my daughter to be happy always just like her mom when she is still in my arms
Stunning. Can't tell you how many times I've played this in a morning rather than watching the depressing news. I had the pleasure of visiting Jamaica twice two years ago and it was so magical to experience the real reggae music.
The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan brought me back to this masterpiece I have loved since the day it was released many years ago. PS. Well done Paddy McGuinness 😅
I am 50 and this song is one ov my favourite songs bless you Freddie for this amazing music makes me happy feelings and beautiful words god bless you sweetheart 💞💞💞😘
Islam. Best version of the Song. Vibration in your blood song. Reminds me of a time when music always had love in it. Not just the word but also the frequency. Peace.
Top track. I went to Antigua last time I left the UK and I spent a fortnight listening to reggae and soca. I remember this well at the main bar in the Verandah outside Willikies... God I need a holiday.
Mr Mcgregor perform one of the best concert I attended in Rochester, NY years ago even though the crowd was small. He puts his heart and soul into his performances.
So many heartfelt reminiscence in the comments to this tune. My comment seems insignificant to this tragic time. However! Freddy's melody reminds me of times in a venue when I would meet a girl and use this tune as a way of communicating in the dance language of "lover's rock" for 3 maybe 4 beautifully and exquisite minutes. So while I'm moved that Freddy waits on the edge of eternity I recall the love he shared with us. "One Love People!!" 😀🎶🖤💚💛👫🏾🎶
The real beauty and respect is watching those wonderful artist young and maturity change through pics before our eyes SMFH nth most beautiful thing to see.... Talent implacable !!!!!
Tires when I listen to this music hearta love my icon Freddy McGregor r. i. p my little brother (Dwight Shirley) and the rest families and friends 🇯🇲🇺🇸😭🙏🏿🌍
Wish we could experience these talented young singers singing beautiful love songs instead of violence and sex. I think we get that but lt could be part of the answer to a world gone completely mad.
Mel Dicks a 14 year old girl in my class at school sang this. Her dad was Bristol City's manager at the time. A non commercial wailing reggaeish tune. You've gotta respect it.
I just don't wanna be lonely... I do wanna let this tune go away.. Long live my man Freddy. Long live lovers Rock, Long Live Reggae. JAH Bless to time indefinite
I've had a lot of LOST in my life. But when you don't want to be Lonely, that's the worst feeling you will have. Being Loved and Needed is the best feeling you will have. Don't let YOUR LOVE LIGHT BURN OUT or GET LOST in the shuffle of LIFE. PEACE to the WORLD
First heard this beautiful song in 1987 after returning from that beautiful island in the sun Jamaica for the first time. It is such a timeless song and I Iove it but you would have to be mad not to love Freddie McGregor!
Here ❤❤❤2025 my mom died of cancer. I had breast cancer end of covid. I thank God every morning I wake up. Hope I get to see my first grand baby before I go.
absolutely during the time and year of this song the planet earth was so peaceful and there was nuff caring and loved in within human nature .... miss them old reggae tunes and old dayssss.
Islam. Best version of the Song. Vibration in your blood song. Reminds me of a time when music always had love in it. Not just the word but also the frequency. Peace.
Love this song. It takes me back to when I was a little girl growing up in my beautiful Island Jamaica. I can't wait to go home in the summer. I'll be in a lounge listening to Freddy, Dennis, Bob, Jimmy Beres and all a dem.
Love this piece! Always reminds me of a Cornish holiday we had in 1987 with our then baby son (now aged 31 and about to become a daddy for the second time). No, this is not the original version but it's the best by miles.
2024 and we still here ❤

Another awesome classic by Mr. McGregor! True Reggae Legend!
I am 62 and have always loved these records, I know all the words as well. Fantastic
Love this song. Lovely voice Freddie.

Beautiful song darling mustard he is brilliant you’re a girl
Always thought there was something safe and comforting about Freddie's voice - perhaps it's that sublime vibrato ...
heard freddie sing this at the roof tops in Glasgow in the late 80's, guy was top class, band had a wicked piano player, remind me of good times
Freddie got the voice of an angel
Rip my grandma,i hate cancer it took her away from me sigh.
