I'll be loving you-Soul Brothers Six.

This always brings a tear to my eye as it conjures up many mixed emotions including the evocative memory of the whole congregation at my dear friend Randy Cozens funeral joining in clapping in time as it played us out of the crematorium. It ended with everybody clapping in unison...very moving and I will never be able to hear that tune without thinking about it, and him.

Sorry, only joking and not meant to undermine your thread in any way, but I'll refrain from posting mine for the time being for fear of deserved vitriolic response :D

thats why ray pollard has an effect on woody, when dave rimmer played it at sleepless nites, the poor bloke was gutted with emotion.

Tobi Legend - Time will pass you by - I never know how I will react to hearing this as it has been there at both the happiest and saddest times in my life

Luckily my wife Annie is always close at hand and seems to know better than I how I am going to respond - bloody smart arse !!! :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, and irrespectively of the fact that both these tunes I heard when saying final farewells to two good soul buddies, they both seem to take on different "guises"when I hear them now compared to before hand for obvious reasons....

I have no choice- Johnnie Mae Matthews

When you lose the one you love- Buddy Smith.............oh yeah and can echo the sentiment of Wulfie re Tobi Legend...............gotta go

:rolleyes:

Also lost my young nephew aged 11

R.Kelly

I Believe I Can Fly

I was weeping like a baby hearing that

With you there Mike on the Johnnie Mae and Buddy Smith. Tough ones, very, very tough ones indeed in the circumstances.

Hope you're keeping well Mate.
