Delighted to say the talented George is still with us - he turned 79 in October....."If it wasn't for you, there would be no me!" What a beautifully humble phrase!

This guy defies reality. I've lost about a third of what I had over the years singing in the clubs. George is as good or better than 50 years ago. A monster.

All these years later.....and he can still sing it in the original key. I'm impressed all over the place. And he looks like he's having a great time, too! Good for him!!!

His voice is so powerful it hasn't even aged since the track was layed down in 1974!!!

@matth1j

Agreed. I hadn't seen this before, and was expecting age to have taken its toll, as it has (understandably) on many singers from that era, and later. Plus he's singing live - there's often a big difference between a track that's come out of the recording studio and a live version of it. So what he does here is fantastic. And well done Jools for bringing it to us.

Just. Pure. Class.

So grateful and proud to have been given the opportunity to record George in my studio in 2009 ("Time for a change", re-issues of his greatest hits). Such a talented, humble and warm-hearted human being! It was a pleasure to work with him and an unreal experience hearing him sing live over the studio monitors (solo'ed) while seeing him perform behind the studio room window. All the best, George!

This guy deserved a lot more hit songs

This was my grandma's favorite song. She had a really difficult life (unfortunately, her alcoholism and mental illness brought quite a lot of hardship during my mother's childhood), but as a grandmother, she was the most wonderful human alive- even with her problems. Her birthday was Valentine's Day. She passed away almost 4 years ago. For so long this song was unlistenable. It was masochistic to listen to. But now I feel nothing but joy from it. Thank you George, for making an old woman happy, and for making me see that we shouldn't concentrate on death and sadness. Life's a garden, dig it. This song's for you, Patty.
