    My father loved this mans voice. He would put a record on and listen to him back when families would sit in living rooms and talk, play games, and ask each other about their day. Thank you.

    Had been in love with Rod McKuen ever since I discovered his poetry and music in the early 70's. He was, and still to me, unique. Will hold him in my heart forever.

    One of my favorite musicians. An era of real creativity. Went to his concert at Durban city hall in 1978. Have never forgotten his rendition of " Ballard of the black eagle" RIP Rod

    Astonishing. His translation of this song is simply beautiful. I had the good fortune to see him in concert in London many many years ago. I also went to one of his book signings. He asked me my name and when I told him it's Rosemary he said That's a very pretty name' and dedicated the book to me and drew a flower on the page. I look at it every so often and remember him. Tears running down my cheeks. Such a lovely man.

    I loved his songs in San Francisco when I was a young woman and never forgot his music or poetry, especially loved the songs with Jacques Brel. Rest in peace rod.

    They're lovely and reflective. I can see why academics and others in ivory towers uniformly were rough on his work, but it's more revealing of their deficits than his. People loved his work -it touched something in their memory or wishes that they could relate to in an emotional sense.

    There is such emotion here, like her leaving is taking his life. It's almost as if this is a prequel to the events in Seasons in the Sun, where her leaving slowly ebbs his life away as the sun goes down.
