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.

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

@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.
