Génial , merci beaucoup

Love his voice

On the Tonight Show, Mr. McKuen once told Johnny Carson, "My voice makes people want to clear their throats." It DID, but then he'd sing or recite his poetry, and there wasn't a more beautiful voice on the entire continent. Damn, I do miss him.

Me too. God bless him.

I attended a seminar in Chicago in 1974. Rod was performing at the restaurant where I had dinner. I sincerely wish the songs of this year (generation) were more like his, but as all things on this earth they are there only for a little while. At the age of 79, I would like to encourage everyone to listen to the music of yesterday. Much to be learned.

I miss you Rod.

Rod's music and his poetry are timeless --I've been more than a fan of Rod McKuen , I've been a follower and a lover of his legendary songs

Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

This fall and winter, his beautiful songs are often visiting me. Wonderful soul...

I always loved his voice and thoughts. More so now that I am old. His work ages well.

The passing of Rod McKuen left a void in the world of musical entertainment. He is not easily forgotten, and we are the less without him.

My Mom went to school in Oakland, Ca. with Rod. Years ago he went to a high school reunion and took my my Mom home in his limo. He professed to having a crush on her. What a wonderful man!

Brilliant

He looks so freaking good at is age and the voice is still the same...Love u Rod!!

I loved his raspy voice. He shows so much feeling through his songs. Love you Rod

Lovely Song beautifully sung by a great man who brought us some great music over the years. My favourite Seasons in the Sun. Thanks for the music. RIP

A fabulous song anytime, all the time!

Laced with care kindness, humanity, sincere blessings songs are for storms, every storm brings a gentle rainbow ❤

What a wonderful artist you truly were, you made this World a better place with your poetry and music, RIP Rod you will be missed

Great singer I love this song since I was young

One of the best renditions of wonderful world I've ever heard. lina

You will always be missed, thank you for all the music you've composed and sang, we love you. You will not be forgoten.

He makes me cry ... So long , ROD.

Heaven is a better place, RIP Brother always loved your songs.

"If you go away"..... And you left us with great poetry of music.... RIP....

ive always liked this geezer.....top bloke

Always loved his music and poetry, I saw him live I think in the early 80's when he toured my home country of New Zealand. Loved this song, his version is as good as Louis Armstrong.

JUST WONDERFUL GOD BLESS XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Loosing more and more of the greats of my generation. RIP Rod

Great music is poetry! Music is the Healer!

Great singer and songwriter. God bless him and may he R.I.P.

Lovely voice, lovely song. Yet i want to cry. Dont know why? ❤

The greatest ever. I will always love him.

Thank you for everything. RIP.

Even though we only spent a few days and nights together you brought so much love and sorrow to me. I loved you so much but time got in the way. That first morning waking with you dropping red rose petals on me. The letters and phone calls that told me you cared then silence. I loved you then as I love you now with every fibre of my being. Rest in peace my darling man and know you still live deep in my heart.

So beautifully done. Yes, you are right, what a wonderful world it is. You will be missed by many. Music is so very powerful. I hear your songs and they transport me back in time to happy memories. Till we meet again, may you R.I.P.

Very good mixed with Greatness!!! Love to Rod McKuen!!! See you when I get there!!! Thanks for playing down here with us for a spell!

A salute, and a huge Thank You sir, for making this World...just a little bit better. The seconds of our life fly so quickly. You will be missed. God Bless. See you soon.

Goodbye Mr. McKuen and thank you.

I've listened and read Rod McKuen since 1966 or whenever it was that I discovered his insight .. I know he didn't write this song, but part of the magic is his interpretation .. it's been a long time since 1966, but its still magic.

One of my mentors!

I love this album. Home to the sea. The whole album is wonderful. I had the 8-track. Now the cd and playlist on my phone😍

A wonderful man, gave us much

What an incredible human being this man was.

"The Sea" changed my life...in 1970...I was lost in that recording...

I met him too - sort of. It was after seeing a performance with him. We happened to be shopping at the same Safeway. He was in the checkout line when I spotted him. I walked up and simply looked at him, not knowing what to say. I stood there for quite a few minutes. He avoided looking at me. I'm sure I made him uncomfortable, but I had no words. So I just stood there. I'll say it now - thank you, Rod, for all the beautiful songs and the way you touched all my passions of that age. You reached deep into my heart.

Dittto! Thanks for sharing Linda. What a gem. :)

fine song Rod Aloha Rudi Polt

Yes, Heaven IS here ["here" meaning within each of us]. Again,, you got it. If any individual does not create heaven from them, they WILL have to leave. The coming Age of Enlightenment will not support them.

I can't think of a better non Mckuen song that easily could have been something he would write. Rod may have thought, "I wish I'd have written that one".

우리나라에선 어느 가수가 이런 역할을 해주나요? 이동원? 김도향? 송창식?

I wish the date of this wonderful performance was posted here, so we'd know when this was. Is it really that difficult to post it? Many videos on you tube don't post the dates of the performances and I just don't understand why they don't, it's annoying.

Do you know when this was, and for what event?

자알 생기셨고만요

anyone else annoyed by how loud and bad the drummer was? what the hell was this beat on the 4? The og recording with Louis Armstrong is just a normal drum beat but this guy had to take it and turn into this nothing beat with a loud CLACK on 4 or whatever instead. Terrible. obviously it may have been written for him but dear lord it distracted me this should have been in a nice easy 4/4 like original. maybe it was recorded bad
