Always liked the straight forwardness in his lyrics. This cover is a bit disturbing in the beginning though. He seems to believe that Johnny Ace wrote this song moments before killing himself. This isn't even close to what happened. But...its recorded and in the books now. Check wikipedia for the simple truth of what happened to Johnny Ace!
@gloyahoo I have the CD also, unfortunately DAC version of what happened isn't true, Johnny Ace had not just finished writing this song, it had already been recorded and was #1 for 10 weeks after his death. If he had just finished writing the song Johnny Ace could never recorded it. DAC is a great promoter of himself, although I truly love his music.
This song is sooo very touching..I feel Johnnys pain.. God Bless you"" songs like these touch us when .. Your heart is broken & all is lost.. Family ect.... Great song.!!
I have loved this song, since the moment i heard it, but it's never quite as beautiful when any one else sings it. David Allen Coe, YOU DID IT JUST RIGHT!
@turfitdowning hey I just heard it the first time sang by David Alan Coe, a few weeks ago. They played it at a friend of mines funeral....I can't count the times I have listened to it since then...
I always thougth it was a love song but it's not R.I.P Johnny Ace

what a lovely song. I think this is my favorite version. So sad that the one who wrote it did not have a glimpse of what his future could hold.

Elvis did a pretty good version of this, too. D.A.C. did it justice.
