“You're The Girl I Love”

Okay here comes a more than slightly tenuous link for 'Sight and Sound' :-)

But, I had to find a way to use (in my humble opinion) a total gem of a performance from Steve Goodman that I suddenly came across on YouTube.

The song is “You're The Girl I Love”. I don't know how true it is but I read somewhere that Steve wrote this for his future wife.

I am sure the guy with the pussy cat over his shoulder is wanting to say to the girl “You're The Girl I Love” hence my clever link :-)

Around the time Steve's career took off he was diagnosed with leukemia. The entire time he was writing and singing he was fighting this dreadful disease. I believe he fought the battle for some 15 years. Tragically he lost the fight and he was taken from us on 20 September 1984 aged only 36 years. In my humble opinion this was one of the biggest losses to the musical world. Steve's music could make you laugh, cry and all the emotions in between.

I like all the soft colours of the buildings in this suburban street scene. No idea about the music though, the link took me to "You Tube" and numerous artists nothing to do with Steve Goodman.

Cheers very much, Maurice. Sorry the link is not working for you. I've just double-checked the link and it is working for me. Another link follows but I can't promise this will work for you

schöne Farbnuancen in der Straße.
Den Song kannte ich nicht, aber gutes Fingerpicking auf der Gitarre mag ich einzuschätzen.
Viele Grüße, Uwe

You've captured a lovely pastel promenade Roger.

This performance is so bittersweet. It's also seems like such a difficult song to sing. I could never remember those lyrics. What a sweetheart he was and what a loss.
