Joe Dolan - Goodbye Venice Goodbye

[314194]

Love this to bits, he really puts his heart into it with this one and his backup singers are great they compliment him beautifully here.  Anyone who doesn't like this one is a putz. I had the opportunity to see him some years back now and I didn't, I kick myself every time I hear one of his CD's or watch one of these clips. I have promised myself to visit his hometown and wonderful country before I die.

[ilincasofia]

A very sexy voice !

[TrueSound100]

Great artist!! I always loved his music, with my favorites: Hush, hush Maria, More & More, It's you, it's you, it's you, not even to mention "Make me an island" Great applause for an even bigger artist!!!!!!

[AngelofDarkness65]

Just wanted to say....Happy Birthday to Joe! Thinking of you today as always and listening to you sing all your great songs brings back happier times! Much loved and missed.....Happy Birthday Joe....xxx

[MrDavesully10]

Goodbye joe, Gone but nor forgotten

[olivianna2007]

Will forever be missed! I will always regret not going to see him in another concert before he died as I hadnt been to one in years. I guess we never thought he would leave us! If there is a heaven I hope we'll see him again there! A true Irish star, we luv and miss joe!

[yiwufanggu]

Any one can tell me why is "die" in "I must leave you to die"?

[davehowman]

@yiwufanggu Yup, at the time everybody was told that Venice would sink beneath

the waves cos of rising sea levels. and would be gone in 10 years!!

Hence "die"

When I wrote those words I truly believed that, as did Joe and Roberto the music writer.

[karabena]

@davehowman I love all the songs Joe Dolan sung. Respect and love if you wrote some (or many?) songs for him!

[davehowman]

@karabena Joe was truly magnificent! Easy to work with and his voice still towers

above almost any other singer you can name. I also worked on Sweet little rock n roller and Crazy Woman among others. I miss him lots.

[021mac]

fantastic singer , his music will still live on in next generation

Anita ....xxxxxx

[paddythejack]

in all fairness he was a great show man makes me proud to be a mullingar man living in clare r.i.p. joe sadley missed it was great they way the people of mullingar put up a statue of him in the square

[jeanpienaar1]

wow, just great

[9roslea]

rip joe dolan

[gerpat60]

Fair play to you Joe R.I.P you always gave us a good show and we still rem you.

[HangTheDJ16]

Morrissey paid him tribute in his concert in Dublin last November - he included one of Joe songs in his usual pre-show video montage alongside the NY Dolls and the Ramones!

[maffygreat]

2 great sounding things in this video

1) the white stratocaster

2) Joe Dolan

Rest in peace big man u were an amazing singer

[bhradain]

MickeyL.. He's now and always be the ultimate irish vocal artist pity the fuks over here in Ireland on the stations never gave him the profile he deserved when he got it elsewhere.. makes u wonder???

[sonic666999]

Me, big Ian, Shaw, and a few others, spent our late teens and early 20's following Joe and his drifters all around the north. Never had a bad night with Joe, the best looking girls always followed Joe too, we had a BALL!!! 6 or 8 of us going home afterwards in Ian's jag or my zephyr. Great times. Joe always spoke to us, he remembered us from gig to gig. Big man, big voice, great memories.

[tickabow]

great singer sadly missed

[mears89]

I saw Joe perform this in Dublin in 2005. Surely the best irish singer ever.

[MickeyLynott]

Although this kind of music is really my cup of tea I would have to say that vocal-wise Joe Dolan is probably the greatest Irish singer or is at least up there with Luke Kelly, Phil Lynott, Enya, Frank Patterson Finbarr Wright and a few more great Irish singers.

[maffygreat]

the best irish singer ever :)

[2chrismurray]

@mears89 i seen joe perform this in derry, i thank god i got that pleasure

[Lankieman2]

A brilliant song, one of many produced by Roberto Danova for Joe.

[SuperEvia]

Nádherné......romanrický a dojemný hlas i zpěv.....

[aleksander65]

He is our childhood! Our good past!

[SuperEvia]

Super!!!!

[LeighLancsFellow]

We have many JoDo Lp's from the 70's.

They're great

RIP - Joe -we loved you

[burniebrown]

1 of the best,if not the best

[djward007]

very good still listened to by all ages young and old

[leenador]

Поздно, слишком поздно! Талант тоже умерает!

[sandixbunni]

My uncle used to cut Joe's hair... He also died that same year.. r.i.p. both xxx

[setanta1180]

There definately was no show like a Joe show saw him in the Collins Hall in Clonmel and after at Hearn's Hotel as my cousin Jimmy Walsh was his drummer. Joe was a true gentleman.

[catmc1980]

No show like a Joe Show xxx

[Pourqouis]

Chorus is the plagiarism to "A Place in the Sun" (1967) (Miller, Wells).

[MickeyLynott]

Brilliant.

[olegara]

prosto murashi po koje

[MartyPresley]

RIP Joe. You had such a unique voice.

You certainly were right when you say "There's no Show like a Joe show"....

[mikemita]

is not a single word in this world to describe this voice and this man..... a simple beautiful...R.I.P Joe..... from Romania we say: we love you

[647anne1]

Never Good bye, but surely God Speed & See You Soon. Thank You , God Bless & condolances to your family x x

Joe Dolan is a legend I am a Mullingar man I met and drank in Joe's company many times a very decent and sound skin was joe he will always be Mullingars favourate son and Eire's first famous world wide selling artist may the good lord be good to ya Joe

[jennmooney]

I was 16 and at boarding school in Ireland. Someone had a dare on who would go meet Joe Dolan. They knew the hotel he was staying at and if we were caught (my friend and I) we would be expelled. Joe Dolna and the entire band were there-We told him of the dare and needing an autograph as proof. He brought us into a dining room to meet his band and have dessert with them. They wrote on our arms and we floated back to school. Thanks Joe RIP

[kenny19781]

Joe is a legend just listen to his music he was also a sound skin i am from Mullingar and met Joe many times also drank with Joe a couple of times Joe was a gentleman and always will be a pure LEGEND Mullingars favourate son may God be good to ya

[arissss1962]

Since Joe passed this song and record make me cry.Brilliant singer!

[seamusgarrity]

why is everyone going on abought him been gay if you new the man you would no he wasn"t gay and who was the ass hole that started the rumour he must be gay himself so lets leave it and love the man for his music god bless you joe r.i.p.

[sajti83]

This is a really beautiful song. I'm really impressed. I just started to explore Joe's songs...amazing.

[trusty98]

well i was brought up with his music and later met him many times in the waterfont hall belfast and my mate heard him inceasers palace johannersburg,his warm up artist kris kristoffersdn 1971 a purelegend joe ,randal

[patsyrite]

I was born in London but has always loved irish music. My Dad was from Mayo. I loved Joe Dolan and still do i am always playing his songs .Such a brilliant singer and he is surely missed. R.I.P Joe.

[MickeyLynott]

Who gives a fuck if Joe was gay or not. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't! We'll never know now unless a few love children or similar come forward. Anyways let the poor man rest in peace. He never harmed a soul so lets not tarnish his good name.

[clarebannerman]

The greatest entertainer I ever saw. ♪♫ ♥

[sportster599]

Joe Dolan was not gay... i first seen him 35 years ago and he had women all over him, i actually met him and his 2 girlfriends at the time

[podgewalsh4]

he gave me a tenner for hleping a woman with her bags in tesco a real LEGEND

[jackstar353]

he wasnt gay huh!!i loved him xXx

[bdgeorge23]

His sexuality was never an issue with me nor do I believe it should be. The reality was he was a great musician and his name,lyrics,music and personality touched thousands......couldn't give a shit if Joe was gay or not.He was an absolutely brilliant entertainer.His (or anyones sexuality) should not have any bearing on his talent and personality.RIP Joe.A

[setanta1180]

Why do you copy what others write ? Why not be yourself and write what you believe instead of plagarism. Get a life !

[nakedshowjumper]

Cheer's Joe you where a legend!!! what a voice.

[xoweeamzyxo]

Great tune, what a legend. Junior (N.Ireland)

[xxxBadgerBabexxx]

Theres  no show like a joe show!!

[clarebannerman]

I first saw Joe in 1966 at a recording for radio in O'Connell Street,Dublin. Over the years @ dances & concerts I had the pleasure to listen & enjoy his music. One might go to the show not in the best of form but always came away on a high. Why the f--- did you go and leave us Joe! Nobody but nobody comes within shooting distance of a Joe Show.

[DISAPPOINTMENT111]

hi Jo Dolan was no only great singer but very very handsom man it's very rare in ireland isn't ?

[karlzips1]

jesus you must live in a bleeding cave if you thought joe was good looking? how many men in your town 2? he only had one eyelash that went across the top of his eyes and a fecking huge conker nose,,,

[DISAPPOINTMENT111]

ha ha ha !!! I live a littel bigger place then cave - in Dublin :) sorry for english i'm not irish ha ha ha ......

[DISAPPOINTMENT111]

[jksiiuwwaqaio]

joe was the best to come out of ireland. people should keep their small minded opinions to themselves. its amazing how talent can cause so much jealousy.its the voice that matters.r.i.p. joe

[LordLiamo]

I couldn't agree more.

Well said!

[IrishJohnTampa]

Ar dheis De go raibh a anamh dhilis

where can you buy a white tie with joe dolan written on it? im looking to get one for a friend as a present

[MickeyLynott]

I couldn't give 2 fucks if Joe was gay or not.He was an absolutely brilliant entertainer.His (or anyones sexuality) should not have any bearing on his talent and personality.RIP Joe.A true Irish Legend up there with Phillip Lynott, Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly and many many other fallen heroes.

[mrnevin2001]

Well said Mickey

[devl385]

@MickeyLynott

Joe is brilliant, fantastic wish there was more like him singing today.

No Show like a Joe show.

Enen Ema Boun Giorno , , come stai, piacere, RIP Joe, Grazie, Arrividerci Ciao

[wicketchicken]

was in joes relations house 2nite, we watched one of his dvd's, it was so sad and still hard 2 belive he's gone from us. when i was a child i met joe in his pub in mullingar, my mam(R.I.P)said 2 me 2 ask joe 2 sing my favourite song,"its you its you its you" i thought it was "its stew its stew its stew" joe laughed and he sang a few lines for me i think i was around 6 or 7, a great memory all the same and i admit i shed a tear 2nite watching him and im a 29 year old man. R.I.P JOE

[jerseygirl1978]

this is one of my favourites, i was fortunate to see joe at one of his shows in N Ireland. theres no show like a joe show.....he will be sadly missed. does anyone have the song Let me In ????

[smezatu2000]

joe was a briliant entertainer , whatever his sexuality , its not for us to judge thats why the big man is there , all I wil say is thanks joe RIP

[stokes738]

RIP Joe you gave so many Irish people happiness and great memories you are missed by us all make us an island up there son...RIP

[goodfella1916]

digitaltrain since it has been 3 months since you on joes page u must of crawled back under the piece of shite you came from so keep ur comments to your self as they say if you have nothing good to say,say nothing at all.and yet again another low blow from the uk,all i can hope is that you are not irish!!r.i.p joe

[Westmeathlady]

I have browsed over the comments and was disgusted to read idle gossip on his private life. Joe was an Ambassador to Mullingar and a true legend elsewhere. He will live on in his music, and in our hearts.Let him rest in peace you scumbags.

"Joe you were inspirational to all of us" RIP.

[funemma]

mollinthewads he was the greatest singer and entertainer during my life and i miss him so much.rip joe.

[texelektronik]

amazing amazing singer... sorry  he is not with us more...

[curiosul2]

Da muzica adevarata, te invata ce e iubirea.

[homer31uk]

irelands greatest loss a manedith passion that you could feel enjoy the saddest part for me i discovered this awsome giant when it to late i am sorry for all his fans on there lossb of this great man

[shortmanx3]

R.I.P

[xselinagx]

he was a great singer and my mam loved his music xxx

[JoeDolan22]

Fantastic performer. Gave me lots of great nights with friends and family. I'm 34 now and saw Joe first when I was 12 yrs old. Blown away by the voice and live performance. I have seen performers from all over the world and Joe Dolan still ranks as the best live show I have seen .

[oldirishpaddy]

I was so sad hearing of his death.I loved "Teresa" and "Make me an Island" since I was a boy. I´ve been to his grave near Mullingar in March and I told him everything I wanted to tell him during his life. He was a great voice and I thank him for a lot of very emotional moments in my life. "Goodbye Venice" is one of his best songs.

No one ever discussed if he was gay or not during his life. Why now? He was a great guy. Don´t throw any dirt on him. Bye Joe, you´re sadly missed.

[ader54]

Wheather he was gay, straight, catholic, muslim or jew he was the best singer and enterainer ever to come out of Ireland. Boyzone or westlife could never even come close to him.....RIP Joe......The Westmeath Batchler......

[debbieb5196]

i agree ,let the man rest in peace xxxxx

[eileen180]

so what if he was gay some of the best entertainers are gay leave joe alone let him rest in peace he proved he was the best and always will be

[k2403eith]

brilliant singer, looked at all of the videos now and this one is just awesome. fantastic voice and great entertainer. midnight lover is also very good.

[KNOCKLONG]

Grow up, not rumour based, hard fact, accept it. Former showband colleagues are already acknowledging his homosexuality which is nothing to be ashamed of and need not be hidden.

[mrnevin2001]

It really does not matter about Joe's sexuality, that was his private life, I think we should remember him for his music and forget trying to prove the point was he gay or not.
