Anyone heard of ysabellabrave (on YouTube?) Type in 'Just like a woman' to see and hear her sing this Dylan song.

Home Thoughts From Abroad by Clifford T.Ward.
The only song to have over thirty soldiers admit to crying over when straw-polled, and that was out of 104 (A Company). If you've never heard it - try it and see!
It hurts more when you know the poor sod had MS and died of pneumonia on the 18th December 2001.
Sadly

I like Barbara Allen, I have a version of it by the old folk/blues artist, Josh White.

Also agree with,"It Was A Very Good Year.", this songs begins to have more resonance as I am only two years off 50 and of course Sinatra recorded it in when when he was 50.

Was that covered by Art Garfunkel?

Going Back (Dusty Springfield)
Softly As I Leave You (Matt Monro)
There I Go (Vikki Carr)
Stay With Me (Lorraine Ellison)
Wonderful Wonderful (Johnny Mathis)
Great choices here, the only track I I dont know is There I Go, I am familiar with Vicki Carr's work, I keep meaning to get some of her stuff on cd, Going Back is ablsolutely brilliant, Dustys version is probably the definitive, but I have some other versions by Nils Lofgfren, The Byrds, Irish singer Mary Black and Carolee King, at the age of 48 I can certainly connect with the lyrics.

Roberta Flacks version of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face again must be the definiiteve reading. Peggy Seegers originaal version of Ewan Mcoll song was so different,, but I like that version also, along with a similar folky treatment by Gordon Lightfoot, but Robertas version is so distinctive with that great piano intro.

I am a huge Elvis fan, but his 1971 souped up version is a huge let down, if he had apoached it as the tender ballad it is it would have been awesome.

I know the "Wreck of the Ednynd Fitzgerald." being a huge fan of Gordon Lightfoot, I can fully understand why you would be moved by this song.

i am so thrilled to read so much reaction to the work of Gordon Lighfoot, his work has touched my life for the last thirty years, as you say Mark the,"Wreck of the Edmund FItgerald is under appreciated."

Michael Ball has a neglected classic albums slot on his Radio Two programme on Sunday and I have selected Gordons ,"Saturday Clothes" from the "If You Could Read My Mind" album, they might not seledt it but you never know, they only ever play "If You Could Read." abd "Sundown" on the radio.

Plenty of great Gordon stuff on Youtube, interviews and concert footage.

Pirot to the internet I was starved of this, for years I only heard him on record, but to see him being interviewed and to see concert footage is a dream come true.

For those who have never seen Gord being interivewed you are in for a treat,he is a gent with absolutely no ego.

Many thanks to all those who have replies to this thread, I am touched and am so glad to rea comments from like minded people.

Yes Art Garfunkel did i fairly recently,I think, if not on his last cd, it must have been one on of his more recent releases.

Judy Collins did a version a whille back as well.

My wife and I will never forget it.
