Never having heard this song before, I saw the link in suggestions bar -- it said "John Gary sings 'A Little Bit Of Heaven.' " And, involuntarily, I said out loud, "You bet he does!" The song did not disappoint. Thanks for it!
@Steveway32 Glad to comment, no problem, Years ago before John Gary passed away, he was interviewed several times on KAAM radio in D/FW which plays the staples & big band sounds. Mr. Gary lived in Richardson, a suburb just north of Dallas in Dallas county. They still play Gary's songs at times & are online, type kaam radio d o t c o m all together to listen sometime.
I read somewhere years ago that John Gary was one of those rare voices. He could go through the entire octave with seeming little effort or straining What I do know for certain is he has long been a favorite of mine. :o)
John Gary could sing an Irsih song better than most Irishmen---but he was mostly of Dutch ancestry--born JOHN GARY STRADER. He would love this beautiful video. He had hoped to someday do a TV Special in Ireland but never got the chance.
GODDAM they don't write 'em (or sing 'em) like that anymore.
enjoyed this one...thanks for the post...Regards Dave.

My family originally came from Ireland-Stradbally in County Laois located in the midlands along the N80 road. I love all Irish music!

A Happy St. Paddy's Day to all, and God rest one of the true glories of the human voice, the late, great John Gary (1932 - 1998).
Sure, an' everyone's Irish on St. Paddy's Day, and remember to drink responsibly...by which, I mean use a coaster!

You are most welcome. This intrigued me because he sings it in a higher key than he sings most songs.
Love the treatment he gives the ending...........he's amazing!.
