"Actually very good" - what an extraordinary understatement' This guy is brilliant and inspiring. I saw him in York today and I could have listened to him all day.
It was taken using a Canon EOS 5D Mk2. The video quality is awseome but the only draw back is that you can only record about 12 minutes at a time or 4gb then you have to press record again. Other than that i don't have any problem with it.
I got him to sign a CD outside HMV in Liverpool when I'd just bought it and he didn't even realise the store stocked his CD! He started carrying them around instead after that - he would have made a lot more than the £15 that he didn't see and the measly tip I could afford after buying it. Amazing stuff - seen him oop north of England Many times and have bought several albums - keep going that man!
@sixstringslinger85 Heard that Chester city council stopped him performing a couple of years ago but he was in his usual spot outside browns 2 weeks ago on a sunday !!!
"Stay" is a doo-wop song recorded by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs.[1] The song was written by Williams in 1953 when he was 15 years old. He had been trying to convince his date not to go home at 10 o'clock as she was supposed to. He lost the argument, but as he was to relate years later, "Like a flood, the words just came to me." In 1960, the song was put on a demo by Williams and his band, the Zodiacs, but it attracted no interest until a ten-year-old heard it and impressed the band members with her positive reaction to the tune.[citation needed] The band's producers took it along with some other demos to New York City and played them for all the major record producers that they could access. Finally, Al Silver of Herald Records became interested, but insisted that the song be re-recorded as the demo's recording levels were too low. They also said that one line, "Let's have another smoke" would have to be removed in order for the song to be played on commercial radio. After the group recorded the tune again, it was released by Herald Records and was picked up by CKLW. It entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on October 9, 1960 and reached the number one spot on November 21, 1960. It was dislodged a week later by Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight?". The original recording of "Stay" remains the shortest single ever to reach the top of the American record charts, at 1 minute 36 seconds in length. By 1990, it had sold more than 8 million copies. It received a new lease of popularity after being featured on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Just to show you how old I am I knew this song existed long before it was recorded by Jackson Browne.
