What a beautiful song sung beautifully by a woman with a beautiful voice.

'25 ❤

The emotion she conveys in the climaxes at 3:07 and 4:03 is a whole-body experience. It shakes your entire frame with vicarious grief and anguish. The reflective passages in between deliberately leave you unprepared, no matter how often you've heard it.

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖my favorite song of all time

Maria's short career casted long, long shadows.

I’ve picked this for mums funeral later this month, she sadly passed recently, and she always loved this one 💔

I fell in love with jazz when I first heard this in the 1950s. I’ve been a fan of Chris Barber and Monty Sunshine ever since.

Lovely tune 😊

Anyone here

I may be wrong,but contrarily to the video,he sings not "running back" but "running man" can anyone back me up on this?.....oh, on later inspection it seems I'm RIGHT!! actually I am precise

I've travelled the land with a guitar in my hand And an eye ever open for some fun I've made some mistakes, had my share of the breaks Seen the boys on the make and on the bum Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man, running for home Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man, running for home I've seen all the frowns on the faces of the clowns And the downs that they take just to be free And I've seen all the girls in their pretty frocks and curls But they don't mean a lot to me Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man, running for home I've been to the places in town where the faces Hang round just to stare at each other I've looned with them, screamed at the moon, behaved like a buffoon But I soon discovered Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man, running for home Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man, running for home Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man, running for home I've travelled the land, made mistakes out of hand Seen the faces in the places misunderstand Yes, I've travelled the world, seen the pretty boys and girls Heard the noise that destroys and commands Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man, running for home Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: James Alan Hull

I'm here in 2024 from Mortimer & Whitehouse Christmas special 👍

What a Great forgotten song 🎵 Dyan Birch - superb singer .

Dont let age or life break you, you are magic. Miss you and hoping you have a blessed and happy Christmas. xxx

I think our Ukraine grandfather went to Ellis Island Before coming to Canada.

Terribly underated at the the time was Tony So much competition, Jones, Engelburt, etc Came up with a great one though, Amarrilo I

I had this song somewhere in my memory from roughly aged 5 ish and it wasn't until my 30's that I discovered what it was and who.....❤

Such a beautiful song. It reminds me of how hard it is these days to see our nation sold the highest bidders.

Saw something that reminded me of this song, and I only know this song as I used to tag along with a band as a kid and they used to sing it. I never did know if it was someone else’s song until now.

This is my late grandfather

God Bless you, !!! Good on you !!!! Thanks Eric. Great Aussie song .

Great version, but I still like Freddie Mercury's version better!!!

What wonderful memories this brings back.

I put Dusty Springfield and Karen Carpenter in the same category of pure excellence.

Mum n I shared similar music together and this is one of our favourites.She passed 3 years ago today and God knows I miss her so much.Rest in Peace my sweet lady as I dedicate this to you..❤😢😢

Just found out this Inner Terrestrials song is a cover of this. Woahhhhhhhh

This i like so much only remenber to My boyfriend is die years 2015😢

Don’t know why I like this song but I do

In the 1917.

My favourite 5pp song of all..! I used to have a friend called Jim, not seen him for ages, he'll always be 'Big Jim' to me..!

Thiz song was played at my grandads funereral god bless

My mum passed away a couple of months ago we played this superb song at the end of her funeral it was such a poignant song for my wonderful mother and there wasn't a single dry eye at the end. We gave my Mum a standing ovation at the end of the song. Thank you Carole King and Dusty I will always remember my Mum when I hear this fantastic song.

I remember a dear friend, Jim Harrington, singing this on a kids camp many years ago.

I love this song for 2 reasons...my Dad and Grandparents on both sides were born in Italy....I remember my mom telling me that when my grandmother arrived here by boat she cried when she saw the statue of liberty because she was so happy but sad because she knew she would never see her mother back in Italy again. Also Neil Sedaka dedicated this song to John Lennon when he was trying to get his green card to live in the US....sadly the times are so different now because of all the hatred and racism.... this song was written in 1975 but is even more important today..

The lyric is "running MAN" not "running back".

The singing is fine here, but I don't much like the orchestral backing. I prefer the Byrds' version.

Still here, hang on sloopy!

My late hubby sung this when singing in the WMC'S . Listening tonight in his memory of good time ,its 19yrs since I lost him 💔.

💥THIS IS ONE OF MY CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA...I WAS BORN TWO YEARS BEFORE IT WAS RECORDED....BUT I WAS CAPTIVATED BY IT AT 2 YEARS OLD ...ONE FOR ALL MUSICAL CONNOISSEURS..!!!!

Thank you for posting the song. While listening I pictured my Dad in his deep voice singing.

Love hat song
