  • La amo a tal grado de tenerla plasmada en mi piel de por vida.

  • <3 Que bonito tema :)

  • Amazing song :)

  • mad how things go full circle. i remember listening to this song once when i was about 15. (18 years ago). went back to my old man raving about it and he handed me his 'sound of bread' album. i never knew who it was that sang the reggea version that i fell in love with. then nearly 20 years later i randomly searched the name ken boothe, after hearing it in a favourite clash song, and i stumble across it. and fall in love with it all over again. happy days.

  • oh yeah i feel so fortunate to have been old enough to enjoy the era of such great music and his voice oh wow made me melt lol

  • song played at my Grandad's Funeral Such a beautiful song with meaningful words! BEST VERSION BY FAR!

  • @Equus1965 @scisci270 homos homos! please! stop your arguing and listen to the jam!

  • Hit #1 on the UK pop chart for 3 weeks in Oct 1974

    This is the first time I've heard this version, I like it, but personally I prefer the version by Bread.  Mind you that could be because Bread's version was the first I ever heard.

  • Easily the best version of a very moving song. The original, by David Gates was about his father who had died just as they got close, which makes it even more emotional when you listen to the lyrics

  • ahhhh esta version no la conocia

    pero es mucho mas emotiva que la que interpreta boy george.

  • Great track! what a voice too.Thanks!

  • what other version?.....Don't go there

  • There is no another version of this song ...

    it's the only one !

  • Makes you realise how important some people are in your life. Definitely the best version. Sorry Bread !

    Peace and love all
