One of the greats and no mistake. In fact, if he’d only ever written one song, and that song had been Walk On By, he’d still have been pretty fucking brilliant. As it was, there were so many more. RIP Burt.

This is another Dionne/Burt song that always makes me cry…
The windows of the world are covered with rain
Where is the sunshine we once knew?
Ev’rybody knows when little children play
They need a sunny day to grow straight and tall
Let the sun shine through
The windows of the world are covered with rain
When will those black skies turn to blue?
Ev’rybody knows when boys grow into men
They start to wonder when their country will call
Let the sun shine through
The windows of the world are covered with rain
What is the whole world coming to?
Ev’rybody knows when men can not be friends
Their quarrel often ends where some have to die
Let the sun shine through
The windows of the world are covered with rain
There must be something we can do
Ev’rybody knows whenever rain appears
It’s really angel tears
How long must they cry?
Let the sun shine through

I’ve mentioned this ensemble a couple of times on the gigs thread. They don’t have any local shows booked around here at the moment but it’s worth keeping an eye out for them, they are terrific. We saw them twice last year.

Had the funeral today at Andover crematorium
Sprang Mum C_S from the home to attend. Was in bits and pieces obvs. Not many of their generation left.
Nice to reminisce at the do afterwards in Kings Sombourne. Sad that generation is passing into history.

Bucks senior passed away last night, a few months short of reaching 90.
When he was 87, some people who met him for the first time thought he was in his “late 70s”. Even six months ago he was walking unaided and happy in to see his consultant.
