    Just in case you didn't know, the owner of this channel, mosogotam, whose real name is John Perrone, sadly passed away April 5, 2020 from COVID-19. He was an absolute genius for this and all the other wonderful tracks he created. May he rest in peace.

      Do not worry. John Perrone, mosogotam, began to rest in peace at the moment death struck him. I do hope that he will awake in the first resurrection when Jesus Christ shall return to this earth again. Perhaps I never knew mosogotam, I am still appalled that he caught coronavirus, and then he died. This is a loss that hurts like the attacks on America on September 11, 2001. The musical works done by mosogotam are incredible. Fortunately for me, the music is not dead.

    When I was a child I lived on Lake Erie and bought an old transistor radio at a yard sale for 25 cents
    I remember on Friday nights the warm red glow on the wall in my bedroom coming from the back of the radio as the voices of all of the Mowtown greats slowly sprung to life .
    Turning that knob and slowly hearing Smokey’s voice was always a childhood treat
    Still to this day it takes me back to a special time in my childhood

    1st Time I heard a bassoon on a pop record. I met Smokey on an Elevator at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, doing a tribute to Hal David's 90th Birthday, I was backing most of the other acts on the show including Stevie Wonder, but Smokey did a simple piano vocal version of Burt Bacharach's and Hal David's "Walk On By" without the band. , he was one of the nicest guys I met on that show. A huge hero of mine.

    • @captainkeyboard1007
      @captainkeyboard1007 3 роки тому

      That is why I love the extended songs. The radio versions that were on 7" 45 rpm discs that you call originals were recorded to fit in the program the radio stations had limited time within the program segments. The extended versions sound more complete than the short versions. This "Tears of a Clown" Mosogotam version is my number one favorite.
