Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones sings an acoustic version of Andy Williams's classic 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' in tribute to Gary Speed.
The song became an adopted anthem of Welsh football fans during Speed's playing career with Wales after being used in a BBC Wales promo for the 1994 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Speed, who was found dead at his Cheshire home aged 42 on Sunday, was an integral part of the Wales squad that came so close to qualifying for the World Cup finals in the United States.
Jones broke off from working on new material with the band in Brussels to record his acoustic version of the song.
The video will feature as part of a special tribute to Speed in BBC Cymru Wales' Sport Wales programme on BBC Two Wales on Friday (2200 GMT).
Jones, a supporter of one of Speed's former clubs, Leeds United, said: "I was with my two daughters at the Millennium Stadium after the Wales v England international [in March].
"We were waiting at the lift and Gary ended his phone conversation and shook my hand. We had a chat about the game and shared the lift to the ground floor.
"He was a very nice man. Good looking fella. I was consumed the whole day when I heard the news.
"I couldn't get my head around it. Then the BBC approached me to record the song. It's a 10 minute job, but I hope it's fitting for the tribute on the show."
Jason Mohammad will present the special tribute to Gary Speed from Leeds United's Elland Road stadium.
He will be joined by Speed's former Leeds and Wales team-mate Matt Jones. The programme will include tributes from Alan Shearer, Robbie Savage, Gary McAllister, Tony Pulis, Ashley Williams and others. - เพลง

What a voice, seriously!
He needs more recognition. 💗
not one singer in the world as good as kelly jones... his tone is amazing and he sells every word he sings. pure class.
Rip Gary speed you’re always loved in Newcastle. Thank you for the memories mr speed Howay the mags
It was chosen as it was used by BBC Wales as part of their advertising campaign for the 1994 Football World Cup qualifying. This was a hugely important time for Welsh football as the team came within a whisker of qualifying. Speed played a hugely important role in the team and this song has been adopted by Welsh football fans ever since.
this is very sad!...But I have to say Kelly is one of the best singers I ever heard!! RIP Gary Speed!
Beautiful...... well done Kelly. Proud to be Welsh, we've lost a legend. R.I.P Gary

well done Kelly heartfelt version. Please release a solo song/albulm soon. God Bless to Gary xx
Doesn't matter how much money you earn. If you struggle with depression and are dragged down so low you take your own life then it's an absolute tragedy. There are families and friends left who have their hearts ripped out. I wonder if all the people who disliked this would change their mind if it happened to someone who they love
Kelly jones you just get better and better! Stunning - this is the sort of stuff that sells not xfactor! I'm a Leeds lass and I met Gary a long time ago when he played for Leeds
One of Football's true greats! A class act on and off the pitch.

Beautiful tribute to a great man.

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that is real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off You
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
Oh pretty baby
Trust in me when I say
I love you, baby 🌠🤟🏼💝😘🕊💕
