Listening to this in my mother’s bedroom, being reminded of her life and how amazing she is. She passed away 3 weeks ago from cancer. I’m 24, I have a long life to live without her.
A twenty year old kid wrote this song. Absolutely amazing
It's difficult to think this was 52 yrs ago, James was only 22, yet he wrote such a mature song. Truly an old soul in a young man's body.
Whose listening to this masterpiece in 26 ?❤
The sound engineer at bbc for these early 70s shows needs a massive show of appreciation 👏👏
