Though all of its gone

Great as good as bobby an Laurie version Wayne doesn't get the recognition he should go love u Wayne ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂

I love this song I was a young gril when I hear the song

2024 love this so true today all tar and cement

I prefer this beautiful version by Verdelle to the original by Adriano Celentano.

But did it chart anywhere - or was it really a turntable hit only.

My mother, Frances Elizabeth Raaff, loved this song. She died in 1969.

I love it. I remember this gorgeous song. Thank you so much for recording it!!!!!!!❤

It's the cover of an Italian song, "Il ragazzo della Via Gluck" ("Gluck Street's Boy) by Adriano Celentano

I don't remember this one, but I checked the local AM station hit single list from July 1966, and this was sitting at #11.

In my opinion this is the best version of "Pen in hand" while bigger names may have performed this song I felt Billy Vera put it over the best.

I remember it coming out in 1966; I was 23 then, now pushing 82 and still totally love it. It's the same sentiments as Big Yellow Taxi - don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got til it's gone - but IMHO a far superior song that should have done far better than it did. I've been trying on and off for ages to find it on Spotify, but so far no luck.

I absolutely love this song,

Just heard this song on AM Radio and don't remember it in 66 but fell for it big time now. Thanks for posting it.

I think this got to no.2 in Australia. I heard it on one of our Adelaide radio stations just yesterday. I hadn't heard it since I was a kid. I'm 64 now.

Simpley ❤love this song

It echoes the 60's protest

I remember hearing this song playing on my mum’s radio when I was a of toddler 3 or 4. I’m 61 now and it’s stayed with me all these years.

Adesso nn capisco é la prima volta che ascolto. Da loro ma è italiana si o no di celentano

Magnifica Canzone Italiana di un grande artista italiano Adriano Celentano "il mollegiato".

Your post nails it

Love everything about this beautiful song. Loved it from the first time I heard it way back in the day

It's not just Tar and Cement anymore. It's Tar, Cement, Wind Farms, Solar Farms, and Transmission lines.

😂Listening to this song at the age of 78, it's sad in so many ways. it's makes you think back and you do ask " where has it all gone"?. Sadly Britain in 2024 is no longer a green and pleasant land.

This was one of my dad's favourite songs I remember this was the first record he put on when his record player was repaired❤miss him so much😢

I grew up on 5 acres of "bush". It breaks my heart to see the suburban sprawl that it has now become. It is almost like a loss of innocence in a way. There is crime and domestic problems and row upon row of houses and units crammed together in the name of progress.

I love this song and her version is the best one I have ever heard bless her x

I you love this as much as I, check out Adriano Celentano's version. Foreign language magic.

This song has always been in the top 2 or 3 of my all time favorites. The lyrics define life as it has been deteriorating in quality over the past 6 or 7 decades. They are so full of meaning and emotion. And I loved her voice too. For me, a beautiful and meaningful song.

Classic never get to old or out of date

Loved this song as soon as I heard it on the radio. Beautiful lyrics and voice.

Nice version of the song, but i think Joe Dolans is the best version.

Who mentioned Dusty 👀 this is.a superb example of 60s production gets me every single time❤❤❤

I was 15 when this was released. I can remember listening to it on the AM car radio. I still get shivers when the horns hit the high notes at the climax.

Still beautiful after all these years

A classic forever !!

As everybody has written, this is a brilliant record in every possible way. How it was not a worldwide hit totally astounds me. Poor promotion, perhaps? In 1966 I was in Europe, bumming around for 4 months and can only assume that was when the record was presumably aired in London. I used to hear just about every one played on radio or TV. Never heard this...........Maybe better for the delay until first hearing it in Australia. Now a resident of France! What a recording!

Still sing this sometimes while sitting alone.

Beautiful. Nothing modern comes close.

I thought I commented on this BEAUTIFUL SONG 4b. But I didn't. And now words are hard 2 find. Yes. Progress Indeed. I see it all around me now Our country side disappearing.

I left college in 1968 and this was one of my favourite songs. It's been nearly 60 years since I heard this song again. Wayne Newton had a unique voice. Thank you so much for reigniting some wonderful memories. I do however, still have a problem with the lyrics. There are parts of the song where I just cannot get the words correctly. Does anyone have the lyrics please. Thanks again

Very relevant now 😢love this song ❤

Why isn't there a backing track to this song love this song

This reminds me of my two siblings (brother and sister) I love this song. So many happy memories of them. They passed away two years ago three months apart from each other. They were very close and I miss them so much 😢 thanks for sharing.

I remember this song from its original release, and the lyrics came true for me. As others have observed, "Tar and Cement'" has a similar theme to Joni Mitchell's '"Big Yellow Taxi." I have seen 1960's Honolulu transformed from a pleasant uncrowded city to a densly-packed, traffic-choked urban center crammed with high rises, and also witnesssed Los Angeles experience a similar fate.The song also reminds me of Cat Steven's "Where Do the Children Play?"

My Mom just loved this song. We both sang it all the time. Beautiful Memories

One of the most important songs of the 60s, it’s a shame todays songs can’t match the real truth that change has made to us as a race, what we have done to the environment can never be fixed, what a voice Verdelle had, stunning

I loved this song from the moment I first heard it at age 12. Still do..

Heard this two or three times recently on Boom radio and Caroline flashback . Great version and a fantastic voice .

I just turned 63 ALWAYS LOVED THIS .❤
