  • So sad. This guy was a tortured soul who drank himself to death at the age of 27. What a tragedy. How much do you have to drink for it to kill you at such a young age? Hearing him sing these lyrics is heartbreaking.

  • From what I've heard he was literally dying during Europe '72

    

  • Sing it Pigpen!

  • @charfman84 Pigpen is my dude

  • I love this so much.

  • he reminds nme alot of phil when he sings this song

  • "My needs they are simple, I don't want many things... but I truly wanna fly on them wings of love... one more time."

    Tell em Pig.

  • @Huskybeast00 no he knew he was dying and he was in love with janis joplin....

  • @Lasse3030 Pigpen was the singer before he passed. Well, mostly. Bobby and Phil sang some stuff along with Jerry.

  • @larabelle13 It is, because you know this isn't just a song, he is singing straight from the heart.

    Sad thing is, if he could have just found someone he would probably still be here.

  • @larabelle13 How much? My sentiments exactly... R.I.P. Ron "Pigpen" McKernan...
