As he was dying of the cruel disease MS, he would crawl into his home studio to finish his last record. His is a story of courage and immortal beauty. I am proud to share his name. Thank you for posting this treasure. Consider yourself subscribed.
I heard this first when I was 15, It sort of influenced my life, I heard more of his songs and tried to live a gentle life. A year later I met my wife. We lived a gentle life, a loving life for 40 years and 1 day. I now live alone with half a soul but listening to this music. Thank you Clifford.
Hello - I first heard this song whilst still at school. At the end of the road was the most beautiful girl from a poor one parent family named Gaye. I went to a friend's house one night and there was Gaye! Sadly she took her life a few months later. This beautiful, sad song therefore has a special place for me. You may live by yourself but you still have Your Soul and a 1000 wonderful memories and Still, you have the Love of your Wife.
When this song was released in 1973, I was 17 & a heavy rock fan...but when I heard it, it blew me away, but I never had the courage to tell my mates that I liked it ! I played it on a juke box in the local pub, & when the outcry started, as to who put it on...I lust kept my head down !! Possibly the most beautiful song ever written.
In the seventies we were so lucky to have such talented singer/songwriters like Clifford t Ward. What a pity he never seemed to get the acclaim he deserved.
I really loved this song too. I remember buying the 45rpm and playing it so often, I was about 14 or 15. I was so pleased to find it online today and hear it again after all these years. 26 November, 2023
I thought Clifford T Ward was an absolutely wonderful singer song writer and was greatly underestimated! The song Gaye was a hit when I was still at school and I remember playing it over and over when it first appeared. I love the song as I do so many of Clifford's beautiful songs! Thank you so much for allowing us all to enjoy!
I heard this on the radio a few times when it was out,as well as Scullery and (I Wish I Had the) Wherewithall. I would have been about 8 or 9 back then.
I cannot listen to this heart-rending beautifully haunting song with its'emotional impact,without bursting into tears! Its breathlessly wonderful!!This should have been a world wide success!!!!
I was a pupil at North Bromsgrove High School when Clifford was a teacher there. Whilst he never taught me, I am in his debt. I was told by a senior teacher to get my hair cut because it was longer than school rules allowed. I answered back that my hair wasn't as long as Mr Ward's and I was therefore allowed to keep my flowing locks.
Wow, Peter, nice riposte to the senior teacher! LOL Well done! I was born in Oct 1961 and I had very long hair then as well, didn't everyone? Forgive my nosiness but did you have many dealings with 'Mr Ward' Best wishes, Mark
@@MrMpyne I was in 6th form doing the 3 sciences when Clifford arrived at the school. I think he taught guitar to a few pupils but he had no involvement with the extra-curricular activities I was involved in. I can't recall ever having spoken to him at all. I just monitored the length of his hair!
Em 1973 eu tinha 16 anos e é claro que apreciei muito esta música. Lendo os comentários em inglês, fui informado de que Clifford morreu em 2001, após sofrer de esclerose múltipla durante 20 anos. Concordo com os que disseram que o nome dele ainda vai figurar entre os maiores poetas da língua inglesa. Pena que a obra dele é pouco conhecida por aqui. Gaye é apenas uma pequena amostra do que ele sabia fazer. Que ele descanse em paz, e é uma pena que tenha ido embora tão cedo.
a como eu queria ter uma máquina do tempo, só para voltar a esta época dourada, cheia de lindas canções e melodias !!!!! é sair deste apocalipse de funk,axe,e tantos outros ritmos que só tem putaria, e violência!!! á quem dera!!!!!!!
Clifford's songs are timeless. Clifford conveys such tenderness diffidence and vulnerability with his voice. For the great legacy he has left us with his recorded compositions I thank him and hope he has found a rich eternal reward. RIP Clifford.
One of the wonderful tracks of my early twenties. I remember him being a teacher, and I remember the impact this song had on everyone at the time. I bought his albums, Home Thoughts From Abroad was fabulous, and I remember his MS and eventual very sad death. Above all though I remember his wonderful music, and the words of his songs. He seemed far too nice a person for the pop world and he probably was. I miss his gentility.
Lembro-me de meu saudoso irmão José Carlos ("Carlinhos"), que ficava em casa, em frente a uma janela praticamente o dia todo, em Piraju, interior de São Paulo. Ele era cadeirante, mas sempre tinha o que fazer e como a janela era baixa, alguns amigos paravam lá para conversar com ele, que punha em um pequeno toca-discos os sucessos daquele tempo, inclusive um compacto que tinha essa música. Ele falava inglês fluentemente e o pessoal pedia traduções, o que fazia com prazer! Tenho muita saudade daquela época e meus doze anos de idade! Sem maldades, só alegria e muito romantismo!
Caramba...74 quando servi o exercito e tirava guarda lá na guarita atrás do quartel na maior escuridão da madrugada escutava essa maravilha no radinho de pilha vermelho............o tempo é implacável mais é necessário para as boas lembranças.Obrigado "SENHOR DEUS".!
I was walking past the Golden Discs record shop on O'Connell Street in Dublin in 1977. I heard Gaye playing inside. I stopped and listened. I bought Home Thoughts From Abroad on the spot :) Clifford, a beautiful poet and song master. And also so so sad. Thank you Clifford x
Such a beautiful, haunting love song from the much missed, talented singer/songwriter. Taken way too soon. Every time I listen to this it takes me straight back (in a millisecond) to when I was 11 years old in 1973. Thanks for the wonderful music that you left us, Clifford...
I'm only 46 , I first heard this song about 12 years ago. I all but forgot about it.,me and my son have been through a lot the past five years and today it popped up on my recommendation list I heard the first few words and remembered it literally almost cried singing it to my autistic son today... one of the most beautiful songs of all time period what beautiful verse thanks for posting it...😂
muitas lembranças... as festinhas que todo inicio de ano, nas férias, tinha em minha casa, - era coca-cola, run, e cachorro quente - o que queríamos era dançar de rosto colado... tempos que não voltam e não vemos hoje em dia em lugar algum... - anos 70 os melhores
I heard this beautiful song in the mid-1970s at house parties with friends and colleagues in the neighborhood where I lived. These parties were called "scary parties" with black lights, making everything fluorescent. It was the best. It was a time of adolescence and early youth, a time of great innocence, when people were more human than they are today and for a long time. We danced with the girls, cheek to cheek, in that atmosphere of total romanticism without any malice or bad intentions. It was really nice. I miss a time that will never come back.
Nossa demais.... isso q é música orgulho de viver esta época romântica ... tadinho já não está mais entre nós mais deixou esta pérola linda pra gente curtir e viajar no tempo! obrigado a quem postou😘
Lovely tunes that brings back so many memories sung by a singer, songwriter that passed away far too soon and without getting the credit he deserved. This music stays in my heart.
I let the love of my life go as well in 1975 (I was 13 but desperately in love with her) but despite 'building myself up' to speak to her many times, I just could not follow through. Her friends badgered me for ages to speak to her, telling me that she felt about me the same as I did about her but even that did not get me over the line. What a fool, eh? I still think of her know, almost 50 years later, wondering what might have happened. Cheers, Mark
Eu, mas que música bonita rapa, tô aqui me arrepiando e marejando os olhos. Que música divina de linda. Pela melodia deve ser ano de 1972, 1973, 1974 por ai. Amo essas músicas americanas lentas do início dos 70, pois são lindas, melodiosas e as melhores de todos os tempos.
Sat as a kid in a container truck with a neighbour driving, when Manchester Liners were going, down the ship canel in Wire Town, i was 11, this was on the radio, just a beautiful record,
Gaye Won't you let me have a say In the way you behave I won't last another day If you decide to go away. You're the tray of nice things I upset yesterday The display of bright rings I let slip away. Oh Gaye You allay my every fear In a most extraordinary way If I thought that I could find my way without you I would not ask you to stay. You're the tray of nice things I upset yesterday The mainstay of my dreams That I let slip away. Gaye Won't you let me have a say In the way you behave I won't last another day If you decide to go away. Don't go away Oh please stay Don't go away Please stay.
Sick of hearing this distorted sounding recording of one of the most beautiful records of all time . Someone get this sorted out and re release it as the beautiful recording it always was . God Bless , Clifford T Ward. Rest in Peace.
Lembro de 1973, de uma moça por quem fiquei super apaixonado, hoje por acaso vi essa palavra e depois de 49 anos volto a lembrar, foi ótimo, o que eu daria para voltar no tempo, a gente até sofre mas a juventude é fabulosa!
1973. Eu tinha acabado de chegar ao Rio de Janeiro. Gostava de rock mas na minha pequena cidade, era difícil ouvir nas rádios. Ouvi essa música a primeira vez e amei. Fazia um tempo que eu não ouvia, procurei no TH-cam e hoje por incrível que pareça, me apareceu assim. Gratidão! ❤
Meados de 1973, Brasília. Estava almoçando no Conjunto Nacional e me deparei com essa linda música, ouvindo-a na Gabriela Discos. Foi amor à primeira vista. Comprei o CD, e ainda hoje me emociono ao ouvi-la. Tantas saudades!!! 😭
Me too. It has haunted me over the decades. It's so beautiful and I love the strings in the introduction. It's sad, but then I have always loved sad songs that no one else likes.
This reminds me of my late Dad, who always spoke of Clifford T Ward.I have to admit, I only heard this recently on Smooth 70's radio here in the UK. And I finally got why Dad liked him so much. It's a song that I can't get out of my head.
A very talented and under rated singer/songwriter, Cliff's music is Quintisential English, a very quiet,and private man with a gentile quality about his lovely voice. ive listened to his song's a zillion times over and will continue to do so. Worcestershire and the Music World is poorer without him.God Bless CTW
This is a great bit of songwriting I first heard I was about 11-12. Then rejected all stuff similar for years as i closed my mind to anything that weren't (punk) rock. Then I got old. Beautiful song.
He must have been a lovely kind and caring man from the lyrics of all his songs this what they portray,real love songs with meaning,what a great loss you are Clifford T to this world
I didn't know the singer and his song. Here in Germany he is absolutely unknown. But why. Such a beautiful song. Such a wonderful voice. I love it so much
Love Clifford T. Ward's songs. I'm possibly his only german fan, definitely one of few who knew him in this country. Was surprised when I found out he was hanging around with Jeff Lynne and ELO for a brief period of time in Worcestershire, visiting each other and going down to the local pub together (ca. 1973) ELO being one of my other musical favourites. R.i.P. Clifford T. Ward I lost my mother in November and his songs stir up the deepest emotions right now.
He never had much of an audience or following in the United States, save for Britons living here at the time. He was huge in Europe and South America and that's where I heard this song for the first time. In later years I tried finding the record in the U.S. but no record store employee even knew who he was. Fast forward to the new millennium and by God, someone posted it on TH-cam. It would've been a shame for this man not to be discovered by American audiences, even after his passing. Thanks a million for posting it and God bless!
i love Cliffird T Ward and bought his CD greatesthits or something! but it helped me through a very difficult time in my life depression two autistic kids etc! I love 'Gaye' and other hits 'home thoughts from abroad' This man was a genius sadly taken from us young, but he is eternal and should be installed in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. grateful Noreenx
Regardless of the references above to poets, he is a complete original and there is an awful lot out there to explore and maybe to be covered by other artists. I followed him in the seventies, and more than once heard him on the radio; notably on a radio discussion where I recall him saying that the most important thing in life was love. I was a teenager and felt this was wonderfully adequate, but how true. What a remarkable man. RIP.
Cant believe this wonderful singer song writer only lived 4 miles away from me. God Bless you and thank you for the beautiful music you have left us xx
Alguém do Brasil ouvindo em 2024??🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Com certeza!... Preciosidades!
Sim!! No RJ, ouço e adoro essa musica desde Radio Mundial am e Tamoio am ,eram radios para jovens nos anos 70.✌

The most beautiful love song of all time so underrated 😢

I played it on a juke box in the local pub, & when the outcry started, as to who put it on...I lust kept my head down !! Possibly the most beautiful song ever written.
I was t'other way ...I always loved melody and my best friend Dave was a heavy rock fan and got short shrift from him but, was I bothered ? No....!
I think when he appeared at the Castlebar song contest in the late eighties
Yes, beautiful song. And he seems to have been a beautiful soul too. I loved Home Thoughts From Abroad too, maybe even moreso. It was on the 'b side'.
Similar story but it's not the best. Keep your feet on the floor lol
Funny you should say that just the very same happened to me but opened my big mouth and said I liked it and got the piss taken out of me for weeks
In the seventies we were so lucky to have such talented singer/songwriters like Clifford t Ward. What a pity he never seemed to get the acclaim he deserved.
This song cuts me in two.Both my parents loved it and they are no longer with me.Unbelievably gorgeous.God bless your amazing talent Clifford
One of the greatest singer/songwriters ever, never got the breaks, RIP Clifford, sadly missed
He can touch us sO deep with HIS Sad Voice and simultaneously he conveys love and romanticism....it's a love song for The broken hearted...
Thanks
100% poetic, romantic. I wish I'd known him 🥰🥰❤🙏
Linda demais 💞💕💞💕
@@soniamaria5991 tô apaixonada por essa música 😭

I turned 60 on 26 November 2023 and my name is Gaye..and I do love that song 😊
@@gayeflockheart4258 Yes it was a great song - very belated congratulations on turning 60!
Goodness, I’m 67 and had almost forgotten this beautiful song ! How lucky I was to be alive when such music existed
I thought Clifford T Ward was an absolutely wonderful singer song writer and was greatly underestimated!
The song Gaye was a hit when I was still at school and I remember playing it over and over when it first appeared. I love the song as I do so many of Clifford's beautiful songs!

This song was played when we said goodbye to my lovely mum at her funeral, she loved this song😥😥😥
😢😢😢😢😢
Muito bom gosto tinha sua mãe e vocês também ,,,ela está, bem sossega o coração 💓
Esse artista já faleceu né? Ouço essa música c imensas sdds dos anos 70, só musicão❤
In the 70's I knew a girl called Gaye who was from Canada, lovely memory lovely track, so long ago, where does the time go?
Omg what a Perfect song, sung with the most sincere and lovely voice. Simply beautiful. It breaks my heart with the yearning of times past.
It makes your heart ❤ skip.
Yes ,music certainly tugs at our heart strings and a wish that we could turn back the clock
AINDA BEM QUE TEM MILHARES DE PESSOAS QUE GOSTAM DE UMA BOA MÚSICA.
ANOS 50,60,70,80 E 90, MEUS PARABÉNS PARA TODOS VOCÊS.
Boas lembranças...

Maravilhosa ❤ canção.
Genuinely one of the greatest British songwriters ever. This Man should have a statue built for him. A total genius.
What a wonderful singer this guy was, beautiful words, beautiful ballad.
Love this mans songs.Beautiful words,beautiful music.A wonderful talent gone too soon.Rest in Peace Clifford.
Those who dislike this have no love, heart or soul.
I was a pupil at North Bromsgrove High School when Clifford was a teacher there. Whilst he never taught me, I am in his debt. I was told by a senior teacher to get my hair cut because it was longer than school rules allowed. I answered back that my hair wasn't as long as Mr Ward's and I was therefore allowed to keep my flowing locks.
Wow, Peter, nice riposte to the senior teacher! LOL Well done! I was born in Oct 1961 and I had very long hair then as well, didn't everyone? Forgive my nosiness but did you have many dealings with 'Mr Ward' Best wishes, Mark
@@MrMpyne I was in 6th form doing the 3 sciences when Clifford arrived at the school. I think he taught guitar to a few pupils but he had no involvement with the extra-curricular activities I was involved in. I can't recall ever having spoken to him at all. I just monitored the length of his hair!
@@petermutton8046 Cheers, Peter, Best wishes, Mark
I've always had my suspicion that this song was written about Gabrielle (Gaye) Raybould. Who was a pupil at the same school when he taught there.
Wow
One of the beautiful songs ever made and sung!!
Terry Wogan introduced me to this song. RIP Terry.
I remember it as well Terry Wogan and Pauly Walters and Clifford T Ward Its a cruel world xx
Em 1973 eu tinha 16 anos e é claro que apreciei muito esta música. Lendo os comentários em inglês, fui informado de que Clifford morreu em 2001, após sofrer de esclerose múltipla durante 20 anos. Concordo com os que disseram que o nome dele ainda vai figurar entre os maiores poetas da língua inglesa. Pena que a obra dele é pouco conhecida por aqui. Gaye é apenas uma pequena amostra do que ele sabia fazer. Que ele descanse em paz, e é uma pena que tenha ido embora tão cedo.
Exatamente! Os dois primeiros álbuns do Clifford são verdadeiras obras-primas. Ainda pretendo fazer uma homenagem a ele ainda esse ano.
Your time in this world was so short, but thank you for sharing incredibly beautiful songs with us. You will never be forgotten..
Every time I hear this I'm back there in 73 listening like it was the first time haunting, beautiful 😢
a como eu queria ter uma máquina do tempo, só para voltar a esta época dourada, cheia de lindas canções e melodias !!!!! é sair deste apocalipse de funk,axe,e tantos outros ritmos que só tem putaria, e violência!!! á quem dera!!!!!!!
Somos dois!
Sentar no colo do meu pai, ser ninada e me sentindo amada.
Perfeito.
hogi so lixo mostrando o rabo ja ta tudo certo uma pouca vergonlha
O TH-cam é uma máquina do tempo, você viaja na imaginação, mas, dá uma saudade de lascar peito!
Vdd meu amigo só tem merda hoje em dia
Essa é a chamada lenta da época dancei muito.
Essa música é simplesmente divina, perfeita para dançar bem colado e falar de amor bem baixinho .....Só entende quem é romântico.
Agora imagina como é sortudo o cara que tem a chance de fazer isso com uma mulher linda como você!!!
Cláudia Porto
Linda esta música.
Muito
Cláudia Porto é isso ai cláudia só quem viveu esta época boa de músicas lindas sabe o que é saudade do passado.
+Cláudia Porto te intendo perfeitamente .
An absolute classic from 1973 when life was so much better

It's the first time i've heard this song: it's so amazing .. and eternal, I believe💓
Como e quando morreu Clifford T. Ward?
Essa música é linda demais pena que esse cantor já faleceu muito jovem no ano de 2001 puro romantismo 😁😁💙💙
Sem duvida
One of England's best ever song writers. So sad he left us at the young age of 57.
Lembro-me de meu saudoso irmão José Carlos ("Carlinhos"), que ficava em casa, em frente a uma janela praticamente o dia todo, em Piraju, interior de São Paulo.

Excelente gosto por música de verdade, PARABÉNS a família!

Música linda me traz ótimas lembranças

👍🙏
What a gentle spirit.
An inspiration.
Bless you Clifford.
Gaye was a very big HIT in Brazil. In the year of 1973 you could listen to the music all day long in a radio.
Como não chorar ouvindo essa linda música😢😍
Melodia linda, só o ❤ entende!
Fantastico
@@migueldias49801:02
I agree ABSOLUTELY! Philip Legge
I love this song so much. I was 20 when the album came out, Gaye captured my soul, and still does, always.
A most underrated singer/songwriter. God bless you Clifford. Your music continues...

Lovely tunes that brings back so many memories sung by a singer, songwriter that passed away far too soon and without getting the credit he deserved. This music stays in my heart.
One of my all time favourites, Brings back memories of my Mum and a girl I let go away, Dawn Glaser 1978 One day !!!
I let the love of my life go as well in 1975 (I was 13 but desperately in love with her) but despite 'building myself up' to speak to her many times, I just could not follow through.

Sat as a kid in a container truck with a neighbour driving, when Manchester Liners were going, down the ship canel in Wire Town, i was 11, this was on the radio, just a beautiful record,
Gaye
Won't you let me have a say
In the way you behave
I won't last another day
If you decide to go away.
You're the tray of nice things
I upset yesterday
The display of bright rings
I let slip away.
Oh Gaye
You allay my every fear
In a most extraordinary way
If I thought that I could find my way without you
I would not ask you to stay.
You're the tray of nice things
I upset yesterday
The mainstay of my dreams
That I let slip away.
Gaye
Won't you let me have a say
In the way you behave
I won't last another day
If you decide to go away.
Don't go away
Oh please stay
Don't go away
Please stay.
Sick of hearing this distorted sounding recording of one of the most beautiful records of all time . Someone get this sorted out and re release it as the beautiful recording it always was . God Bless , Clifford T Ward. Rest in Peace.

One of my mum's favorites..Miss you mum. xx
Uma das canções mais belas dos anos 1970! Saudades e boas lembranças!
Sim! Os Anos Sessenta e Setenta foram muito melhores que as décadas seguintes em muitas coisas, inclusive em músicas!
Wonderful to hear this song again after many years, I was just a kid when I first heard it on the radio and TOTP!
Music from a better, gentler time, for me.
He was a legend a beautiful voice and his words reduce me to tears 😢
A beautiful song. Touching. Heartfelt.
I never forgot your sad end, but more important your fabulous musical creations. Ride on Clifford.
one of the most beautiful songs ever.

Meados de 1973, Brasília. Estava almoçando no Conjunto Nacional e me deparei com essa linda música, ouvindo-a na Gabriela Discos. Foi amor à primeira vista. Comprei o CD, e ainda hoje me emociono ao ouvi-la. Tantas saudades!!! 😭
Dizer mais o que?essa música percorre as entranhas da alma,lembrança de um tempo maravilhoso que não volta jamais
I never forget this beautiful song as long as I live.....
Me too. It has haunted me over the decades. It's so beautiful and I love the strings in the introduction. It's sad, but then I have always loved sad songs that no one else likes.
@@1966mybestyear ....I feel the same way. Nice to know its not just me.
This reminds me of my late Dad, who always spoke of Clifford T Ward.I have to admit, I only heard this recently on Smooth 70's radio here in the UK. And I finally got why Dad liked him so much. It's a song that I can't get out of my head.
O que é bom nos momentos das nossas vidas.
Jamais serão esquecidas.
Linda música.
Bons tempos
Concodo com vc jamais votarão colega
E um momento bom que não vão voltar Saudades vc ta certo ficou so na lembrança
A very talented and under rated singer/songwriter, Cliff's music is Quintisential English, a very quiet,and private man with a gentile quality about his lovely voice. ive listened to his song's a zillion times over and will continue to do so. Worcestershire and the Music World is poorer without him.God Bless CTW
This is a great bit of songwriting I first heard I was about 11-12. Then rejected all stuff similar for years as i closed my mind to anything that weren't (punk) rock. Then I got old. Beautiful song.
Hot wise you mean.
RIP Clifford Thomas Ward (1944-2001), you must have been a wonderful teacher
He must have been a lovely kind and caring man from the lyrics of all his songs this what they portray,real love songs with meaning,what a great loss you are Clifford T to this world
I didn't know the singer and his song. Here in Germany he is absolutely unknown. But why. Such a beautiful song. Such a wonderful voice. I love it so much
Music of heaven...no words, Just tears...Beautiful. .R.I.P.
Yes...tears. cant listen without the tears flowing.An exceptional song from a pure heart.
Just beautiful x
I remember this from my high school days in England 1973 ... how time flies! Great music from Clifford T Ward,.. thanks!
Love Clifford T. Ward's songs. I'm possibly his only german fan, definitely one of few who knew him in this country. Was surprised when I found out he was hanging around with Jeff Lynne and ELO for a brief period of time in Worcestershire, visiting each other and going down to the local pub together (ca. 1973) ELO being one of my other musical favourites.
R.i.P. Clifford T. Ward
I lost my mother in November and his songs stir up the deepest emotions right now.
Eu curti muito essa linda música! Tempos que não voltam mais, que saudades!
Eu também sofro do mesmo mal.saudades de tempos inocentes.onde se podia sair às noites sossegada com certeza de voltar pra casa.
reliquia do passado
WONDERFUL SONG.. WAS THE FAVOURITE OF THE SOCCER TEAM THE RED DEVILS THAT I PLAYED IN WAY BACK IN THE 1970s .. HAPPY DAYS RECALLED BY A WONDERFUL SONG
He never had much of an audience or following in the United States, save for Britons living here at the time. He was huge in Europe and South America and that's where I heard this song for the first time. In later years I tried finding the record in the U.S. but no record store employee even knew who he was. Fast forward to the new millennium and by God, someone posted it on TH-cam. It would've been a shame for this man not to be discovered by American audiences, even after his passing. Thanks a million for posting it and God bless!
i love Cliffird T Ward and bought his CD greatesthits or something! but it helped me through a very difficult time in my life depression two autistic kids etc! I love 'Gaye' and other hits 'home thoughts from abroad' This man was a genius sadly taken from us young, but he is eternal and should be installed in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. grateful Noreenx

still missed. grew up with this song
Beautiful beautiful beautiful....Gaye..one of my faves of all time...beautiful.... CTW taken from us too early
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful
I was only 12 when this song came out, and didn't appreciate it until many years later
Regardless of the references above to poets, he is a complete original and there is an awful lot out there to explore and maybe to be covered by other artists. I followed him in the seventies, and more than once heard him on the radio; notably on a radio discussion where I recall him saying that the most important thing in life was love. I was a teenager and felt this was wonderfully adequate, but how true. What a remarkable man. RIP.
So beautiful song
