Larry..This is a song i have loved for YEARS..I can't pinpoint one thing, i just love it..Whenever i heard it, whether it was on tv or on the radio, i had to just stop and listen to it..I will always respect and like the original, BUT, this is the only version i want and do listen to now..You have such a powerful way with your music..And i also love your little guitar part in here..This makes me smile so much, it's ridiculous..But then, all your music makes me smile..ione marie..You're the BEST
OMG I just love you singing, My husband posted link and I have been listening for over an hour now. Fantastic singing voice and I love the choice of songs. Thanks for sharing your videos!!
wow!!! Sir Larry u never fail to impress me. This song if i remember right is the first song in my memory where i take notice of music & it even reminds me of my kinda not-so-good childhood due to family trouble & once again u relive my childhood in a positive way. Thanks so much sir & God Bless!!!
I like how play the piano and your voice is perfec, I sing too listen me misteramigoful or papa homero from Mexico or Medford Oregon hey you plasy too the guitar jejejej
Oh wow I've worked in the music industry & been a Dj around England & heard many many good singers & I'm very very fussy about music artists especially their playing & I can tell you it's a massive thumbs up as you nailed this perfect in every way? A very very well done my friend.I totally loved your version I will show this to many people to show them what talent you've got!!!
i did the same thing, double dub it (my vocals) and the effect is the same, like chorus on mic... i wanted to sound like gilbert's vocals effects and yes it worked... you are great talent dude... with all my respect..
Sad, but beautiful. Makes me think about my dad who died back in February. You did such a wonderful version of this. I so clearly remember when it came out. At first I thought it was Paul McCartney. Definitely a Beatles influenced tune. I certainly agree with your comments Larry, and most on this page......
Larry....... I have come back to this so many times....It is a song that ive always liked....But your cover, i love it.....it is actually the only version i want to and do listen to......The qualitiy of your music is PRICELESS.....ione marie
Larry......This is sweet irony.....Here is a song, be it famous, that have lyrics that are very sad....But yet, i couldn't begin to tell you how many times i have come here to listen to it....You take a sad set of lyrics, and make it a song people can't get enough of...And just how do you do it?....Well, i will tell you.....With that sweet voice of yours is how.......The best sound on youtube, Hell..the best sound ..Period......ione marie
I adore your version Larry. Great song ! and that's true that the extra window that you've put up for the piiano is very useful. Once again thanks a lot for your beautiful music.

Great song. One of my favorites. A masterpiece. Thanks for doing it. Isn't it weird to see you and many older dudes at home doing these covers on youtube? I don't have a problem with it. I'm 57 and just have a problem realizing that this guy I'm watching is probably my age. Still 33 in my mind. Aging is strange. Oh well, we're all in for the same ride. Nice job on the cover!
Yes I would love to see Clair as well, been working on ALone again myself, have almost got it, except for 3rd measure chord of verse. Anyone know what it might be? I seen G Bb Eb
That is a beautiful sounding piano and the guitar with the nylon strings goes so perfectly together. I love this song and always have and thank you for covering it. I'm a child of the seventies and relate to most of the music you perform and sing.
Hi, great cover of this song. Can u tell me what notes / chords are for piano? I see the piano playing in small window, pity you had that in that direction, as bit hard to work out what you are playing.
Also interested in guitar solo notes, although I think I can work that out from the video. Thanks Phil
@Richo12ful not sure if your reading this comments mate, but I now can play song quite well, but I am still stuck on the 3rd measure of verese, sheet music I have, says am7b5th with A bass, I can't quite see what you play, could you help me out and let me know, be very thankfull, Cheers Phil
Larry.....The irony here is this......the song title and the feeling that your voice leaves with us are total opposites........You have a genuine gift, my friend....ione marie
this man is really an artist. We tent to compare always new versions with the original but in this case....I choose for this one. Thank you very much for sharing your talent...
@podline66 My good man. I'm only 23 but I like the classics: Stones, Bee Gees, Beatles, Led Zepellin, and other famaous songs and groups. I aprecciate specially this one. Makes me think about lost friends and my dear brother. Thank you so much you've made me cried. Thank you.
Great job on this classic from my childhood. I was three when it was released, but remember listening to it more and more as I grew older. You certainly have done this one justice!
Larry.....i find myself coming back to this a lot....it leaves me with such a relaxed content feeling....its kind of like the feeling of a cool summer day or something i guess....regardless, its incredible:)....ione marie
Larry, I heard this song back in 1972 when I was in the 3rd grade...it always brought a tear to my eye especially the third verse...I can't bring myself to listen to it without tearing up, your emotion to the verse rings true in your delivery. - Eman
Larrry this is a spectacular display of your multi-facetted talent. You put it all together..vocals, keybd and classical guitar...you are truly an amazing musician and l am in awe.
Larry, another good choice. Ray (Gilbert) O'Sullivan grew up close to where I live here in Wiltshire, England. He wrote some good songs, this being among the best. You've produced a good interpretation.
1972 .. mine was a buick opal .. and we were a manufacturing power ,, before the unions forced al the jobs overseas .. they are almost done , there is only a few left ...
Larry......The wonderful guitar play, that voice that goes right through me, and a song filled with so much aching truth.....Nothing more to say other than YOU ARE THE MUSIC MAN:)!!!...........ione marie
Well, that's totally cool! I don't think you've done a video with the piano and guitar, have you?
When I was much younger, I could never relate to country music, openly making fun of it. But, now I find that I actually love many of the old standards. It's amazing what some time, experience and a little more knowledge brings us.
Larry, you are a consummate performer - from the piano play, to the beautfiul guitar solo, to your smooth voice - there is so much to love about this one. Well done.
