OMG! I'm crying again. I have been listening to Harry all day. I wish he were here to enjoy the way he still touches people. Yes his voice is awesome but his writing was even more awesome. Obviously, he didn't write this one but what he DID write. WOW! He never held back. He told so much about himself through his lyrics and his music. But nobody listened. If they did, he might still be here today.

Rob Wade, What really angers me is that Harry was snubbed by Rolling Stones Magazine and left off their list of 100 greatest singers of all time. There is a great documentary on Net Flix about Harry with song clips and glowing testimonials from other sings who knew and loved him. Definitely worth the watching.

from what little I know about Harry, he didn't believe how good he was. Even having people tell him, he still didn't believe. I mean he hung with Lennon and the Beatles and I believe played with them occasionally but still he doubted himself. I am sure the drugs and alcohol had a adverse effect on his psyche, but who knows if they unleashed his musical genius. When he died, Ringo said he was more devastated by Harrys death then he was by Johns. Just imagine the music they are making...

Gordon Jenkins has arranged so many of my favourite songs, without my realizing it. When I was a kid, my mom used to play "September of my Years" by Sinatra, and when I was lucky enough to find an lp (it had been long out of print) of it, again he was the arranger. ♫ I love those lush swirling string settings. He's brilliant.
@McGarVision

Gordon always said that Harry outshone Sinatra in comparing the work he did with both. Keep in mind this was a wildly controversial move for a rock star to do in the 70's and RCA hated it. Harry blazed the trail of a rocker performing "standards," that dozens would later follow--Ronstadt, Rod Stewart, etc. etc..."This is All I Ask" is a stunning and beautiful masterpiece by Harry from these sessions worth seeking out. ....Cuthbert

Love the way he casually walks on stage with a butt in his mouth. Considering Harry was a heavy smoker it is absolutely amazing how he sustained that last word and note and change the pitch all in the same breath. I sing have never been a smoker and I lose my breath on the last word 3 seconds before harry does. Boy did he have some beautiful pipes. ALso love his song: "REMEMBER"
Such an effortless and real musical talent. Had he lived a bit longer who knows where music might gone. Instead we have .... well ... never mind

The song was the last track on his album 'A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night'... In 1959 Johnny Nash covered it; his version peaked at #43 on the Top 100... R.I.P.
