One of the most consistent but underrated groups of the era!

A massive Dutch hit for The Fortunes in 1969 but sadly didn't make any headway in Britain. It was left to Terry Jacks to make a slightly more commercial version even adding new words to the last verse and come up with a massive international number 1 in 1974.

Quite a revelation! The recently "found" Beach Boys version is getting a lot of hype, but this recording is much better. Not quite the teen angst masterpiece that Terry Jacks conjured, but a well arranged and performed soulful rendition. How well did it chart if at all?

The original song was written by Jaques Brel, and it was covered by a few artists. Terry Jacks later re-wrote some of the lyrics and had a worldwide hit, in 1974.

Not only did Terry Jacks not write it, but he missed out the verse which told us the whole meaning of the song.

Various comments on Terry Jacks adding additional lyrics - he didn''t. The song was originally longer and the lyrics Jacks used (written by Rod McKuen) are included on The Kingston Trio's recording from 1964.

Not really, the song was written by Jacques Brel (Le Moribond)and was translated in English by Rod McKuen. Terry Jacks had the big World Wide hit with it, but The Fortunes were the first to bring it out. it was a big hit in Belgium, The Netherlands and a small one in Germany.

+hoekkeoh check The Kingston Trio version and compare with Terry Jacks version. The last verse on Terry Jacks version is different. Terry Jacks re-wrote the last verse but didn't get any credit for it.
