The great Harry Nilsson..Oh and a happy fathers day to all of us Dads.

[JimX]

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL OF US DADS..

[Jimgward]

This song was a large part of my teenage memories.... slow dancing at school discos!

[JimX]

Yes Jim the most requested funeral song ever...you can understand this if you read or listen to those lyrics. Harry was considered the fifth Beatle, he recorded with them and he is often on there old records, a great songwriter still a favourite of mine long after his death....

Isn´t that thread quite a bit delayed. Wasn´t father´s day in May already?

[bromerzz]

Fathers Day is not standard across the EU or indeed the world. For the UK it is usually on the 3rd Sunday of June so British expats here that "celebrate" such dates would see it this year as on Sun 21 June.

[memory man]

How many people remember the original version by the writers of the song!

[JimX]

Yes I think this was the first and original version of this song, I prefer HN version myself...but Badfinger were good.

[Mrblobby]

Sadly The two writers of the song, “Without You “ , Pete Ham and Tom Evans, committed suicide In different years .

[JimX]

That is sad, why do they do this...
