Band and song, both are old.

Possibly the most heart wrenching song ever, considering how tragically his life was cut short.

This should have been on the great intro thread which has now been locked.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

I've always loved this song.

Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
There were four generations of love on her face.
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes,

Cover of Tom Waits' "Take It With Me". A song of love and remembrance.

In a land there's a town, and in that town there's a house
And in that house there's a woman
And in that woman there's a heart I love
I'm gonna take it with me when I go

 

[Scud49]

Les Dudek's great tune "Old Judge Jones":

"Met my old lover in the grocery store...."

I love this take on the abundance of often contradictory emotions in seeing an old flame.

(Harry Chapin's taxi is another good one, but it doesn't fit the parameters of this thread as well.)

This song is from the 1962 musical "All American." We put on this play in high school. Here is Bobby Darin's tribute to Sandra Dee, the love of his life.

 

[Aluminny69]

Glen Yarborough started as a member of the Limelighters. He separated from them, and had a solo career, his biggest hit being Baby The Rain Must Fall.

This is a poignant song reflecting on a life
