Absolutely loved this song the first time I heard it by Art Garfunkel. This version by the actual songwriter is equally as touching. I finally figured out the chords and have started to cover it when I perform. Thanks Albert Hammond for writing such a gem.

O MARY O MARY, THE STAR OF THE PRAIRIE, THE SUN WILL ALWAYS SHINE ON YOU!!

[@sabinewuttke2230]

What a beautiful song! Thank you for that. I remember one concert of Albert Hammond in Berlin in the early seventies. Maybe that was the first concert I have ever seen live on stage as a teenager. After the concert I was waiting for an autograph. And I got it on my right arm, kept it for nearly four months until the end of the year and refreshed it nearly every day. I think, until now I would be able to write that autograph ... with the left hand. 😉😊

I love your voice and your songwriting, you are absolutely amazing..
Mr. Hammond 🌹

アートガーファクルで日本でもヒットしたけど、作者本人のこれは垂涎ものだ。
ダウンザイバリバーでファンになったけど、この曲が聴けて感激です！

[@パンダさん-s9g]

私もダウンザイバリバーで好きになった者です。
同好の士がいてとても嬉しいです。
やっぱり作者本人ののは最高です。

Beautiful song🙏

I listened to this song with Art Garfunkel yesterday and it was great but now my heart is broken.
Mr. Hammond, your version is miles better but it is so short, it hurts.
No sé por qué pero me recordó "Estrellita" y de verdad me llené de ternura con esta interpretación. Voy a escribirle una canción a usted y a Mike porque juntos crearon mucha belleza y conmueven mi corazón a cada instante. Gracias, thank you ❤️.

2 of my favourite songs by Albert are among the shortest too - Un dia mejor & Me hace falta que me quieras

I recall watching this on the telly in 1975 and have often looked for it since, but until now I've been unable to find it on record or online anywhere. So 48 years later I get to hear it once again.

[@peted7985]

wow it's great that you saw it at the time! i was only 9 and didn't become a fan til 1984 , but i have a comprehensive collection of his music now
