I once had the pleasure of interviewing this man in the eighties. He was one of the nicest, kindest, warmest human beings I have ever met.

It would have been a pleasure

That’s what I call getting old with grace.

After all these years......still touches the heart.

I have always loved Rod Mckuen and own all of his poetry that were available in the UK. He helped enormously through all the lonely times. God bless you dear Rod.

What brought me here was my very first love, Paul, who was the first to ever introduce me to Rod McQuen's works, back in 1970. It was such a special time in my life and I don't mind saying that it was also so very pure and innocent. Paul used to paint in the park, while I sat next to him writing my poems.. and I attributed my writing back then to R.M. Paul passed away this Jan and for some reason I was moved to search out Rod M after all these years again. And, so glad that I did. RIP Rod. And.. RIP Paul~ ❣️❣️

awesome

This has touched me , just wonderful, he inspired me to do the beautiful beautiful song. I have do it as a tribute to the great man Oz Malo

Wow! Just Wow!

"We used to go a courtin' along October Hill"...speaks of an older, gentler time. Love Frank Sinatra's version of this song, too. If you read his Wikipedia article, you'll see that this song is very much an autobiography.

I was there - seems like yesterday.

THANK YOU. ..... GOD BLESS..... ..... GOD BLESS Oz'Ni... SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL！ DISAGREE FOR LYRICS..... THANKS！

My God, he’s a song writer. This is his song. Stop comparing him to Sinatra. Sinatra was the greatest interpreter of popular music ever. McKuen wrote some great songs. Sinatra interpreted them. The end.
