I've been having a whale (should that be "wail"?) of a time on YouTube up to now - inbetween all the chores that I start and couldn't be bothered to finish.
I came across this song which was a hit here in 1980 (or was it 1981) - during the height of the CB Radio craze - link to follow.
It certainly brought a lump to my throat and almost made my eyes leak !
What would you nominate as the tear-jerkingest song ever?
Jason.

You are so beautiful Roy Orbison
Actually most of Orbison's music

Orson imagines this requires a subjective response. In Orson's view there are a few such songs which spring to mind, should Orson wish to empty a box of tissues weeping, which he does not. Well perhaps only when Orson thinks that Jacqueline Pearce and he will never be wed...sniff.
Accordingly, here are Orson's choices;
Hang On To A Dream by Tim Hardin
Main Travelled Roads by Doll By Doll
The Bed by Lou Reed
Frankie Teardrop by Suicide
Nowhere To Go by Anthony Moore
Afterwards by Van Der Graaf Generator
Been Alone So Long by Peter Hammill
A Childs Christmas In Wales by John Cale
Julia by Pavlov's Dog
Orson,

Lol Georgie- Girl
Mother of my is a family song esp the line "I'd Like to do, what you did for me, Mother Sweet Mother of mine"
My sister would sing it to her but sing "what you did to me...smash a plate over your head"
Long story, but made me chuckle x

Stone for Bessie Smith... Dory Previn
|
|
|
RS - don't think I should have admitted to that one! It always made me cry at the time...

No tears here, Argonaut, but it is a reminder that we should try to help people with troubles worse than our own.

Anything by Rolf Harris.
In fact, just his presence is enough :O)

No...not a tear jerker for me. It got on my nerves...
For me it has to be Rolf Harris - Two Little Boys.

|
|
oh yes, two little boys, but there was another version, any idea who did it?
|
|
|
Against All Odds...Phil Collins
|
|
|
in the arms of the angels ..sarah mclaclan
turn back the hands of time ..r kelly

Didn't know there was another version.
How could it possibly be any better or more of a tear jeaker than the original ?
:):)
