This is such a beautiful song written by someone who lived through hardship, In his early years Albert was begging outside a train station and was spotted by his cousin, this where the lyrics don’t tell my folks back home, I think he’s been respectful shaking the drivers hand ,rest in peace Albert.
I don't have many Heros, though Albert Hammond is definitely one of them. DOWN BY THE RIVER was the first single I bought - December 1972, when I was 11 yrs old. Save the environment, save the Planet.
WELL DONE !!!!! So often when an artist does a many years later symphonic redo it pales in comparison to the original. You have all done a wonderful job.
No me canso de ver este video. Excelente versión de la original. Me conmueve la sencillez de este gran artista. Siempre se mostró así con mucha humildad en sus presentaciones a pesar de su enorme talento y grandes exitos tanto en inglés como en español.
Alberto, this song gave me a great connection to a place that was roughly 3 month's it helped me find my RUBY TUESDAY, THAT I GAVE UP IN '81 . LIVED IN WEED,CA. IN '86 AND SHOULD HAVE STAYED BUT TOOK THE STUPID WAY OUT AND IT COST ME IN THE LONG RUN. YOU WERE A BIG INFLUENCE IN MY MUSIC LISTENING. LOVE AND PEACE S.K.
Me siento agradecido con Dios por haber vivido mi juventud con estas inigualables canciones. Me acuerdo cuando vino a Costa Rica para una navidad en los 70s.
Albert Hammond is legendary! Such a humble man with a genuine smile! I remember in one interview, he says: "People in small towns can't go to see me, I go to see them!" "The beauty of life is that until you leave this world, you are here to better yourself as a human being!" Love you Albert! ❤
Aún se ve atractivo aquí. Me encanta su rostro tan masculino. Pero en otro vídeo lo vi diferente, como que se cambió algo las.facciones. Yo prefiero las originales. Quién sabe a quién estaba tratando de complacer, pero no a mí - jeje- porque a mí me gusta mucho su rostro natural - de facciones fuertes. No me parecen atractivos los rostros de muñequtos en los hombres. A mí me gustan los rostros masculinos con facciones fuertes y delicadas a la vez, como el rostro de este señor. Siempre lo he considerado bellísimo!
Albert is performing this at 74 years of age and kicking ass doing it . I'm 67 years of age and I thank you Albert for such a great song in my hey days the 1970's was a great decade of music .
Albert,que enorme artista eras.Tu y tu inmenso talento te hicieron inmortal y "weon" tu eres de esos que no envejecen,solo te vuelves un poco menos joven,te admiro muchísimo big master...
This is a gem of a song. I remember listening to this when it was first released in 1972, I was 33 at the time and, for me personally, it hasn't lost any of its appeal with the passage of time.
I heard this song for the first time in 1974 while attending school in Switzerland. I was planning to move to Southern California that following summer and was wondering if it was true.
The original with Hal Blaine on the kit! I was 11 and learning. Little did I know the songs that impressed me the most for their drumming were Hal Blaine until more than a decade later.
Could not find this gem and legend in the archive 😊 finally here it is, time to sit back and relax away from stress. Thanks UA-cam for this awesome lyric video💗. Never tired of hearing and singing this again and again💗. The 1970's certainly was a great decade of music. I am humbled and honored it is the year I was born. Thank God for giving us Albert Hammond. How about coming here in the Philippines? Many thanks💗 Live and let live, GBUM🙏💗🙏
2023, Jan 1st..... cold 🌧🌧🌧🌧☔ with ❄❄❄ on the San Gabriel mountain range......yeah, it pours @ nights and steady during the days.....happy New year everyone.....not so beautiful California and America anymore....thanks to the lefties ....

Show show ótimo maravilhoso. Agosto 2021 época conturbada pandemia. Boa música otimo músico e cantor. Rio de Janeiro brasil. Coloquei música no meu facebook
tan humilde mi viejo como le da la mano a su chófer eso hace a los actores de antes mejores que los de ahora wow amo a esta viejo me recuerda a mi papa
I’m a 68 year old and these songs bring back so many pleasant memories. It’s like entering a time machine.
This is the only reason I have a computer phone.
*such a great version of this song.*
The melody is so cheerful but the lyrics so sad..
What a humble and friendly man ! Real class !
always like this catchy tune. it just makes me think of all those who never quite achieved the American dream.
Albert Hammond A very big one in the history of music!
It Never Rains in Southern California one of the most beautiful and best songs ever!
what a classic pop song in 1970s that is ageless, never tired of hearing it again and again
I love the way he shakes the limo driver hand and thanks him real class guy Albert Hammond
That was before COVID.
@@TheYayabrian HAHAHAHAHA
The driver had on gloves. But not 6 ft. F'n Socialicst.

I have yet to see a celebrity who has the grace to shake hand with a limo driver!
This song brings back lots of memories... Very very well done in good taste! Ahhh... how we cherish the yesteryears... Bravo!
Good to see Albert still belting out this great song. The 70s memories are flooding back.
A sad song really. But it somehow brings a smile to your face. The musicians are enjoying. A great song.
Not sad anymore as he made it :)
I don't have many Heros, though Albert Hammond is definitely one of them.

Wonderful ❤
Me lleno de alegría con su música majestuosa, felicitaciones hermoso lo q an hecho, juventud añorada vuelvo a soñar recordando está música del ayer
His voice is as strong in this video as his very first public performance. Well done!

Siguen pasando los años y cuántos recuerdos me hacen recordar. Saludos desde Cartagena.
A legend. Few people know he co-wrote Radiohead’s ‘Creep’.
Whoa,Really? That's so awesome!
Great song, great memories. Thanks

It Seems like there were many great songs and bands that came out in the early/mid "70s and this song was amongst the best.
Which orchestra is backing him up? And for those of from Southern California we know this tale all to well
Live and more live for Albert my wishes
Esa si era música aunque yo aún no existía hubiera querido ser de esa bella época saludos Albert
Que envejecido está, pero, pasará a la historia de la música, un grande entrañable.
