Sir Ken Dodd, a Gift from God to a broken world at a time when people all over the world are suffering, as they always have, but at times more than others. God bless this gentleman for having left us with such a magnificent legacy that it just keeps on giving, year in and year out, never wavering! Thanks to the 'Powers that be' that keep this beautiful entertainment available to us. Our sincere thanks! Jess.
And we're left with misery now. Two Ronnie's, Brucie, Bob Monkhouse, Des O'Connor, Kenneth Williams, Bernard Manning, Frank Carson...all gone but no one to follow in their footsteps. Only politically correct, left wing boredom.
What a great song, done full justice by one of the all time great entertainers. As well as being a great comic, Doddy could belt out some good songs too. What a legend he was.
A man I grew up with and saw live with my family when we was young you showed me happiness and now I’m heartbroken you are no longer here. RIP ken Dodd thank you so much for all the memories. Xxx
The overall impression Ken Dodd gives is that of utter sweetness of character. Whether singing with that glorious voice or being so funny without ever a trace of malice or vulgarity, he exudes kindness, razor-sharp wit, and true love for others that is the deepest wisdom. A lovely, lovely man.
What a gift of Happiness was Ken Dodd, not only able to keep us laughing well into the early hours at his live shows but that plaintive voice...absolute genius.
❤ yes I'm the same I met SIR Ken what a true beautiful man , he'd chat to you like a old friend sighning autographs and sometimes LADY Anne wanted to get back home to knotty Ash😃 🏡 Bye Jove HOW ticked i am
Awesome comedian and singer and lovely bloke seen him 4 times and had time for his fans which not many do and how many comedians start at half 7 finish 2 in the morning no support and 20 minutes break I know how many 0 r.i.p sir Ken your a legend xxxx
A master at work, never is a long time but I don't believe there will ever be a greater comic to grace the stage. And a great singer of his time. RIP Sir Ken.
I love Ken I count myself lucky I saw him live 3 times at southport a Legend a comic and a hell of a singer thanks Ken RIP glad we can still enjoy your love and laughter
Thanks Ken for your dedication in comedy and a great singing voice Liverpool is proud you never left your roots a true Liverpudlian we will never forget you rip
Who better to sing this song than Ken Dodd? It is as if he was born at this particular time for this particular type of entertainment. Everything is 'right', perfect even, about his presentation. His voice, his appearance and genuine humanity and humility. I listen to this rendition often. It reminds me of what life could be like,.. should be like,.. even would be like if we were all on the same path. Thank you Lord for the gift, of Sir Ken Dodd. He was sorely needed, and this was evidenced by the many thousands of people who loved him, and still do. Rest in peace, Sir Kenneth.
Such a talented performer. Not only the best comic of his generation but he can also put over a poignant song. How many of our current performers can equal this talent?
GothicaBeauty. I met Sir Ken a couple of times at local fund raising fetes.and when I was a news reader at Briers Hey.wish FM it is now..was always a happy time.such a generous man with his time aswell as money and was wonderful to grow up watching him with his Dicky Mint and diddy men in the jam butty mines..farewell Ken..such a sad day today..I will always remember you xx
He will!! He will live in the hearts of everyone who has ever listened to him singing, met him personally, watched him on screen or read a book about him. He will never be forgotten. God bless him, because he was a blessing to everyone who was fortunate enough to know of him.
Indeed - an incredible star and human being - we shall not see his like again. God bless you Sir Ken, your legacy of joy and laughter lives on forevermore. XXX
Hard times. I was born in the depression The scary daek times of WW2. All the years of Rationing. Blackouts/Bombing then austere after years. But we laughed through it. Took our pleaures simple. Ken Dodds was part of all this as were some great ones. Sadly all gone now. RIP Sir Ken Dodd. Thoo was a gradely un
This is the best rendition of Ralphs words ... Ken could take the laughter and the tears and share such emotion rarely seen from entertainment ... a true pro sadly missed
I am sure you will make them laugh in heaven. If only more comedians were like you instead of the modern variety who only rely on bad language for laughs.
“Oh how can you tell me you’re lo-only, and say for him that the sun don’t shine. Let me take you by the hand and I’ll show you something, that’ll make you change your mind.” A song can change character depending on the artist and their take/style on a song. This is the version that changes your mind, reminds you that you’re not alone and lets the sun shine. Just thought some people on this comments section need to remember that.
Absolutely brilliant, daddy was a fantastic showman and an excellent singer I am so pleased i had the honour of meeting him
R.I.P. Sir Ken Dodd..the biggest diddy man of Liverpool.The North West and The world.God Bless you and thank-you..xx

Apparently, those who lived in the same road as him thought he was horrible.
What a gift of Happiness was Ken Dodd, not only able to keep us laughing well into the early hours at his live shows but that plaintive voice...absolute genius.

Ken, was a decent singer. This is back in the days, when he was still quite young.
Ken Dodd should have lived forever
He will!! He will live in the hearts of everyone who has ever listened to him singing, met him personally, watched him on screen or read a book about him. He will never be forgotten. God bless him, because he was a blessing to everyone who was fortunate enough to know of him.

have always loved this song
Ken Dodd is the master of comedy and we are lucky he is our own.
Beautiful
Sir ken dodd was the best! 💙🍺🍺.. he lives on inside our heart's❤..
I love ❤️ this video, Ken is brilliant:
How touching. Only ever seen him play the ‘fool’ & joker. Never knew he could sing.
He always sang! He had hits in the 1960's!
Ken Dodd's "Tears" spent five weeks at No 1, and was the third-best selling single of the 1960's.
True professional and a gentleman ...xx knighted at last congratulations Sir ! Xx
I miss him
RIP Sir Ken Dodd
Amazing man
Goosebumps every time.
He didn't always need to be funny to be the greatest performer ever.
I am sure you will make them laugh in heaven. If only more comedians were like you instead of the modern variety who only rely on bad language for laughs.

sir star god bless doddy
R.I.P
jammer dat ik hem niet vroeger ontdekt hem een echte artiest die kennelijk alles kan
ja hij was een zeer goede zanger en intellectueel high
addicted to life....
The Diddy Men buried him down a jam butty mine in knotty ash
the ballad
Good version of Ralph McTell's classic hit.
ballad
He could sing too....
