Louisa Mark - Even Though You're Gone (R.I.P)

[Snooooooooooopy]

I was lucky enough to interview Michael Jackson in 1979 and I told him all about the Louisa Mark reggae version of this song. He was surprised and thrilled that it was such a big tune on the reggae scene. RIP Louisa. RIP Michael.

[22SugarSweet22]

im 26 and i remember all these tunes, my mum played them 7 days a week 365 days a year its like tv wasn't about rarely got watched, now i seem to play them on a daily basis and my son knows the words....dont get tunes like these no more...!!!

[Engman817]

She's still living as long as we play her music, which will live on. Can't beleive she was only 16 or 17. So much feeling

[BabyMars]

I love this song. It Brings tears to my eyes. REMINDS ME OF MY BIG SISTER, So many good memories. I miss my JIEJIE;'( R.I.P OFEEZY

[tonyfr35]

Why would people give a negative to this tune?makes no sense.This is a classic tune.

[lachupapija187]

@tonyfr35 Now a days these youngsters don't appreciate shit. That's why.

[LEFTIE61]

Deborahe, Jean and Louisa-what sweet music there must be in heaven right now.

RIP all of you, your music will live on for ever.

[tmalchi1]

wow what a great song!! thanks for posting this!

[lindsay3640]

I feel kinda bad , I,v never heard of her

[browningbbw]

@lindsay3640 No problem...you know what you know...and now you know!

[Mint147]

@lindsay3640 you do now and thats all that matters

[Preekcrap2]

you should not feel bad @lindsay3640 as you are hearing her now. It is just so sad that this reggae music does not co-exist or even better take over from R&B and Rap as the main music again. Reggae and reggae singers to me are just the best and they were so humble too. none of this vanity or gold chain business. Just good solid music that brought peace and love that step closer. Rip Louisa you have now rode a pretty white horse over to Zion and you have made us proud..

[OjBlack100]

Pure Niceness..big up browningbbw for posting

[FadahRon]

It so sad about Louisa Marks. Ironically this is a tune originally sung by Michael Jackson, who also is no longer with us.

[browningbbw]

@FadahRon We're at that age where we'll be saying goodbye to more and more of those artists that we grew with unfortunately. At least they've left a legacy

[FadahRon]

@browningbbw Hey babes!! I agree about the legacy, but we can carry on making lovers rock done in the old style!! I've been up all night listening to all types of music and what struck me was that "mainstream" newer artists such as Take That, Oasis, etc are still making Beatles type songs, done the traditional way with real musicians! I'm not being funny but even Lily Allen is putting out better reggae tunes than our artists nowadays! We can bring back those days! To be continued.......

[soulsolution99]

@FadahRon Lilly Allen eh?......must have missed that one lool

[browningbbw]

@soulsolution99 You will notice I couldnt even reply to that lol

[FadahRon]

@soulsolution99 OI! you and miss browningbbw think I'm going mad, but that Smile tune by Lily Allen aint as bad as you think you know! Listen to it again, and you'll see! Ha!

[browningbbw]

@FadahRon just gonna take your word for that! lol

[soulsolution99]

@browningbbw me too! lol



[bobdun1]

You know I'm only just finding out about LM, where have I been ??

[browningbbw]

@bobdun1 Living life...luckily for you!

[MrYes2day]

Oh my dear fancy seeing you here

[browningbbw]

@MrYes2day Must stop meeting like this, people will talk lol

[stmichael46]

RIP Louisa - you will be missed but never forgotten. Just a year older than me, I remember rocking to her beautiful voice at the clubs and at home - what talent! Lovers Rock was and still is the best music ever.

[studentrick63]

My God she must have been only 15 when she did "Caught you in a lie"

The true queen of Lovers Rock

R.I.P. Sister

[smiderr700]

supagraph, listen to the music and stop ur s*it brain from thinking. TOP TUNE BY A TOP LADY......R.I.P.

[myloz10]

am also in full agreement Preekrap.

Supergraph you need to humble your damn self and apologise for your lack of consideration and respect.

[myloz10]

sad sad news indeed.

i have many happy memories of the lovers rock era louisa marks being at the pinnacle.

God bless and watch over her.

rip louisa.

[Preekcrap2]

Supagraph I would just like to point out that Ms Browning has never been a ratings chaser. She is a woman of the utmost honesty and integrity and I am shocked at your comment. The queen of Lovers Rock is dead and Ms Browning had the sad duty of bringing that news to us. It would be nice in the memory of the great Louise Marks if you would consider apologising for what is a very depressing comment to make. It must have hurt Ms Browning very deeply so please do the decent thing and apologise.

[ilena1975]

So sad... I remember watching her on tv at the Windrush 50th Anniversary Show over 10 years ago. Was totally blown away by how great her performance was. Just like hearing the record. My deepest condolences to her family and friends:(

[MRRODR071]

Louisa Mark 4EVER

[dakolohe1]

Sounds like you are jealous because you don't have as many subscribers or views!

[dakolohe1]

Well, when you post a comment on a public forum it becomes everybodies business, you could have been discreet and sent a P.M. but you put out there for everyone to see, so now everyone can counter point your comment,no need for name calling, as you have just proved my point of your jealously because i have no need for subscribers when i do not even upload songs, rather i enjoy subscribing and enjoy listening to the songs that others post like Ms. B.

[jacquimwalker]

OMG, this is a sad year for the loss of our music greats, MJ, now Louisa Marks, whose music will live on beyound her time here on earth. I have many a fond memories listening and dancing to her tunes. I have tears in my eyes, :-0( Jac

[DollyMat]

OMG this is truly a shock!!! The first time i'm hearing of this. Like others have said such a sad year for Lovers and Reggae losing Jean Adebambo and now Ms Mark. After having her classic tunes on old tapes from years back, i bought the Breakout CD 4 years ago and was ecstatic to find them all there. Wow, that voice will never be forgotten in Reggae. Itsa also a reminder that we should better support Blk homegrown artists to develop and nurture more talent like this. RIP...

[jacquimwalker]

Hi DollyMat, can you advise which CD you brought, sounds great and would love to get it. Jac

[DollyMat]

Hi, the Album is called Breakout by Louisa 'Markswoman' Mark. Some people call it Markswoman. I'm sure the sis who uploaded this tune could help you further. She's definately a connoisseur, her channel speaks for itself. Hope u find it.

[browningbbw]

Hi jacquimwalker,

As DollyMat said, the album is called 'Breakout' and is available through many sources, including Amazon and play(dot)com.

[RootsDaughter41926]

Thank you for the music Ms Lady Louisa... RIP

Great tribute Ms Browning...

[Dem1s]

RIP Louisa Marks

You music will live on thru everyone.

R.I.P

[Preekcrap2]

Wow that really is big news and I am really feeling quite numb inside This has been a year for the greats dying. And coming at time this year when I found out my own mum had died this is a real tragedy. The real class seem to be dropping like flies. I don't know where we are going to get beautiful singers of this caliber back in my lifetime. God rest your soul Louisa and you gave me a lifetime of beauty and memories and I will be forever grateful. I'll remember you and your family in my prayers.

[peaches18100]

We have lost another sensational queen of lovers rock. Her music will always live on.

[1535sharron]

A legend to us of a certain age. "Even Though You`re Gone" you`ll never be forgotten. You brought joy to so many with your music. I hope you`re rocking in heaven. God bless you. R.I.P

[LoversRock1980]

I have so many happy memories of hearing Miss Mark's superb mellow voice be-it at a blues dance or listening via radio in the late 70's / early 80's.

"A true Lovers Rock legend who will live on in our hearts"

My deepest condolences goes out to Miss Mark's family, you will be sorely missed - God Bless and RIP.
