Saw him at McCabe's Guitar shop with Carla Olsen. I will never forget. He died a few weeks later but his voice and empathetic voice was stronger than ever. I miss him and those who have passed before and since for the courage they showed trying to be themselves, and nothing else.

I saw him at the Boarding House in San Francisco around 1980 with McGuinn and Hillman. Before the show, he was in the bar and we made eye contact and I quickly shifted away. I realized later it would have been quite OK to go say hello and perhaps even buy him a drink. It's one regret I have. Of course, Crosby lived in Mill Valley, so late in the set he showed up and sang with them, basically a Byrds reunion for about 20 bucks. I am also one of the few people in the audience for the Ed Sullivan show in NY when Crosby got in an argument with the producer or somebody and they almost didn't go on the air. They were never invited back.

@ricjan58 - Actually, among those who know of Gene's music, he is very highly rated. I think it's probably more accurate to say that he's sadly UNrated, by which I mean, far too many people are completely ignorant of his work.

The man was a gigantic talent. Beautiful songwriter, superb voice and one of the true founders of country-rock. Why his body of solo work did not receive the same amount of commercial attention as the work he did during his brief tenure with the Byrds remains a mystery.

I've got 4 or 5 Gene Clark songs I play around with and this is one of them. I've loved it since the first time I heard it. He had such empathy and poetry in his soul. It was around this time he was recovering from major intestinal surgery brought on by alcohol. You can see it in his face that he isn't well. They say you live life through the front windscreen but only learn about it through the rear view mirror. In his post Byrds lifetime he just never got the exposure or credit he deserved. I suppose he wasn't alone even Roger was not exactly a household name after the Byrds. But looking back I just feel so nostalgic and sad when I see these clips of a true human being and wonderful talent. RIP Gene. You stayed the course and kept the faith. Rest easy.

With the rat tail and earring, I wonder if Gene thought about the first couple lines of the lyrics. It looked like some bad advice given to him by a “hip” insider trying to help him skew to a younger audience. A beautiful rendition of a great lost classic. Having them Nashville cats back him up can’t hurt. I doubt if that audience even knew who he was.

I consider myself fortunate to be from an age group exposed to Gene Clark music since the middle 60s. Some say he was underated as a song writer. I disagree. I think everyone of the Baby Boom Generation like me know full well the impact Gene Clark music had on their lives.

It’s 2024, and I just now heard this for the first time. I grew up with the Byrds, etc., but beyond McGuinn, Clark, & Hillman I really didn’t follow Gene’s later work. This is a gorgeous song, and from the first couple of vocal phrases, I automatically/in my head heard Graham P singing the harmony. Did they do any work together? Thanks!
@briansammond7801
Ай бұрын
By "Graham P," I assume you mean Gram (not Graham) Parsons. I don't think they ever did anything in the studio together, but I've seen a photo from a tour from 1973 that included a number of ex-Byrds and related musicians, including Doug Dillard, Gene Clark, Gram Parsons, Michael Clarke, Richie Furay, Jon Corneal, Rusty Young, Chris Hillman, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Gene Parsons, Clarence White. Shortly afterwards, Clarence White passed, as did Gram. If your search on "Gene Clark Gram Parsons" and click images, it comes up as one of the top results.

So sad that because of 80's fashion trends he had to wear a cross hearing, a pony-tail, and appear as a clean pop singer. I think instead he was a true independent traveller of the song: always himself, and always on the road. And stupid market believes killed him. Now it's all a late retrospective celebration...
