Luke Kelly Tribute (Christy Moore)

[Shaunadk94]

I Love this song so much and wrote by such a wonderfull man, mo Mhuinteoir Gaeilge. This song is trully a tribute to his Idol, an admiration which can only be felt by talking to the man himself! He will be truley missed when he retires at the end of the week not only by his fellow colleagues but also by his students who will miss him dearly.

[banastrand]

God bless!!!! What a wonderful voice,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and so appropriate now !! Even in 2011

[mmcdonn2]

One legend sings of another....what recession are ya talkin' about? This country always has that bit extra.

[rojblake82]

Luke Kelly had a similar hairstyle, to Tom Baker when Tom was Doctor Who but Tom had dark brown hair unlike Luke Kelly who had red hair.

[DMEB]

[thesignsteam]

Christy should have stuck with the trad (planxty) and rebel songs.

[cosmicarbiteroftaste]

Love Luke Kelly to death. Irritated by Christy Moore. Anybody else?

[kilomeister]

@cosmicarbiteroftaste i reckon bill bailey would take him in a fight..

[frankyh101]

no way, i love christy

[d33pS3Ad1v3r]

Luke Kelly.

The Man.

The Legend.

Btw, this song is sung live by Christy Moore on the Dubliners 25th yr anniversary special on the Late Late Show...available on dvd. It was written by a fan of Luke's who was present in the audience, he chose to give it to Christy Moore.

A lovely tribute to the most beautiful voice we may ever hear. Luke Kelly is my hero and we will never see his like again.

[neckozeusa]

[apples091]

A legend, I loved Luke, that voice, that attitude, that soul.

[jmjk63]

Thanks Kelly, Where can I find CD's and DVD's of Luke Kelly ? I am addicited to that great voice

[ailbhe1000]

Kelly...... well done for all the hard work... All of us Luke fans are grateful.. pat in meath

[kellyoneill]

Thanking You :)

[neohip]

@ailbhe1000

I just want to agree with you..

Kelly is unbelievable.

I was certain for awhile that she must be a family member, judging the quality and quantity of her releases,

She is "just" a fan like the rest of us. But oh what a fan!.

[starryplough16]

speechless...........thanks

[blanch38]

kellyoneil- thank you very much for all your hard work collecting together such a fantastic selection of luke's songs and images for all of us to see- brilliant!

[kellyoneill]

My Pleasure mate :)

[xoxash123xox]

teacher in my skool Michéal O Caoimh wrote this great man for culture studies

[TheHarpAndShamrock]

A song for a legend, by a legend... Great stuff

[kellyoneill]

I dont think anyone could have done this one better.

[LifeIsASong09]

My Irish teacher wrote this!! =]

[jimdoyles]

nice

[roytheboy68]

We are glad he passed this way, Christy. Well sung. I wish I hadn't only been 10 when Luke died and that I could have had a chance to discover his music when he was still alive. I am grateful that I can appreciate and enjoy what he left us though. Will never forget him.

[closeph2222]

one of the teachers in my skool wrote this Michéal O Caoimh great man for culture studies

[cnmfromOz]

Sorry. That should have been a thumbs up, not a thumbs down!

[raphael2176]

He was wrong and you are wrong. You are comparing apples and oranges. Luke wrote little, he was primarily a singer, not a writer. Whereas Moore and Dylan are mainly known for performing their own work. TO compare those two to Luke as a singer is just plain silly. Moore would like to be compared to Luke but he will only be compared by those who know no better. Whilst he is a reasonable songwriter, he is a low grade singer in comparision to Luke who was a once in a lifetime singer.

[kellyoneill]

well said!!!

[Scrapncubs]

@raphael2176 No reason to fight over things that move us lets just enjoy them all.

[xxxKerrygoldxxx]

[ocaoimp2]

fair play to you for posting all these luke kelly songs up. like all those rare songs from the "thank you for the days album". and i know my love, saxon shilling etc. keep it up. did you read the comment under mcalpines fusiliers.

[ocaoimp2]

he wrote it a couple of days after luke died in 1984 and a couple of years later he came across it and got in touch with christy moore to sing it. christy performed it for the first time live on the late late show in 1987 for the dubliners 25 year celebration.

[ocaoimp2]

my dad wrote this song. michael o caoimh. thanks for the comment. its a nice song.

[kellyoneill]

Did He really? What year was that wrote or released?

[KieranFinn]

Great song, Michael O Caoimh.
