Vinton was one of my wife's favorites...she loved this song. His first hit that I recall was 'Roses Are Red'...

Yes, music at a time when one could understand the words they were singing and some like "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro that made the ladies cry and made it hard to swallow for us real men!

Oh my goodness. The words themselves are heartbreaking but accompanied by the video OPP is going to drown today in tears.

Thanks you rascal. Jeanette is in the kitchen sniffling and she only heard the words.

Tom started this. I'm ready to escape this mood. Remember "The Thing" by Phil Harris?

You don't think this may have been a precursor to RAP do you?

I wouldn't think so, Padre. Arguably, the first rap hit song was the following, in 1979....

BTW, Padre, here's a tearjerker of another kind...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7KU7Zvjp0Y

The song Honey is my story . Three years ago my departed wife was diagnosed with cancer - They cut out one piece of her at a time . She fought hard for her life. Then one day she was told she had 3 months to live and she still fought hard for her life for the sake of our little girl . When she slipped into a coma she was still fighting with her lasts breaths . On the forth day I kissed her forehead and told her it would be ok If she wanted to rest . I told her I was able to take care of things and that our little girl would be alright and that her family would help me . Two hours later she walked on to the next life .

Tom, I share your grief although I can't share your burden. I would if I could. I can't imagine the grief one feels losing a spouse or a child. I do not ascribe to the idea that grief is a process. Your beloved wife was much more worthy than being a process. It seems to me that grief is better understood as really hard work and that hard work is better understood as a genuine and necessary labor of love.

I'm losing my wife mentally and she's losing me physically. The music we're reminiscing today puts to music what our hearts have written. Pax.
