Wonderful performances!! 👍 I understood the meaning of the song very well from the singing. Sounds in tune and good intonation. Overall, sounds as good as or even better than other renditions of this song
This doesn't sound like the Steve Zegree arrangement I know. Has it been adapted? or is it an earlier or later version from him?

Yikes. Tough one no offense.
I lost my wife of 33 years to Sepsis on August 15th of this year. I am devastated and lost. It is the worst thing that has happened to me. I miss her greatly. I struggle to go on. “And so it is……”
I’m so so sorry for your loss. I cant imagine. I said a prayer for you. That God would heal your heart and give you peace instead. Please take care of yourself. Know that I will be praying for you. 😢

omg its mr yong
If Rev Calata did indeed write this song rather than simply arranging it, he did it before the 1970s. I was listening to The Spinners singing it in a pub in Chelsea in the mid 1960s, when I was at college in south London.
