Great artist, and that last song is a real heart-tugger.

First time hearing "Keep Me In Your Heart". Yeah that's touching.

 

[scotchandcigar]

First time hearing "Keep Me In Your Heart". Yeah that's touching.

He recorded it right before he died of cancer.

 

[sadchild]

Kinda reminds me a little of the song Glen Campbell recorded as he was succumbing to Alzheimer's.

I'm still here, but yet I'm gone
I don't play guitar or sing my songs
They never defined who I am
The man that loves you 'til the end
You're the last person I will love
You're the last face I will recall
And best of all, I'm not gonna miss you
Not gonna miss you
