Val_2 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 His poor mother, losing a third son before going herself and for Barry too. Very sad and listening to Bob Harris on R4 earlier I did not realise they wrote so many famouse songs for other artists as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ceour de Lion II Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I think their music far surpasses the Beatle's. Was shocked when I saw he'd died, although it had been coming.Also Australia's greatest contribution to the music world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
