The song was actually written by Dick Glasser , it was as you say recorded by Billy Fury in the '60's. The version I remember best was Ruby Turners in the '70's.

This version here is indeed awesome.

@rayclaire I love your uncle. I met him once when he was touring with Mary and I love his version of Jai guru deva. He is one hell of a musician and I'd buy a CD if he released it. The grittiness and rawness of his voice moves me and anything he sings seem to be transformed and become totally his own.

This is my Uncle and I have never heard him sing that song with so Much Passion and Love as when he sang it at Olive, My Sister In Law's Funeral. I definately want him to record this in Olive's name, sell the Cd and donate some money towards St Frances Hospice!!! There wasn't a dry eye in the church and I'm guessing there was easily 1,000 people at the Funeral. This Girl was an amazing person!!!!!!!

I heard Noel sing this song 'I Will' today (Baldoyle, Dublin). What a voice!!! It was a very touching tribute for a beautiful lady and a very special couple. It was so moving on such a very sad day.

Ive listened to it again and again. Very special. Keep it up.

@raycimino: Au contraire - Noel has a fine singing voice on him - check out most Thursdays in Frank Ryans of Smithfield

Fine version of it Noel. The Guitarist is a Plonker for not tuning his guitar. he had loads of time. Swanning around no doubt, as most of 'em do.
