Cry Me a River. John Martyn

[@apark6166]

Someone once asked me who my favorite male singer was. I said John Martyn, and they just stared at me blankly . No one I knew had a clue who he was. I was obviously on the wrong side of the pond. I wish Michael Macdonald would cover more of his songs, he's the only one that could do that voice justice.

[@robertevans6596]

Always a treat to come across a performance from the great man I've not seen. X RIP Johnny too bad.❤

[@markgardner1020]

He doesn't cover other people's songs. He owns them

[@caroltaylor541]

Saw the guy at Guildford Uni 1982/83 . Miss him very much.

[@paulhoughton5164]

This is almost painful to watch. Such a remarkable talent at one with the song and the music but underneath a tormented soul. John you gave me so much joy and inspired me to take up the guitar and I’m still listening to you as so many are.

[@l.w.paradis2108]

It was nice to read this today. Best wishes for the new year. Just suggested to a friend of mine to learn May You Never. It's as though John Martyn knew him.

[@paulhoughton5164]

@@l.w.paradis2108 so many of johns songs still feel so personal to me. I guess that’s where his genius lay - the ability to touch people with his music. May you never is such a song. And it’s a joy to play and sing (even badly by me 😂)

[@adeellis1620]

You're right. Very painful.

[@robertevans6596]

I have very precious photo of John when he was standing backstage on the soft bank London. I asked if I could take a picture and he gave me the most beautiful smile back which I captured ❤

My deepest regret is never seeing him live Pure LOVE thank you, John

[@johnknottenbelt2502]

John, John, John ! Man, you could give feeling to a dread fish ! RIP you wonderful, if tormented soul ! I'll never forget that day in 1974 when you allowed me some time & even tho' I didn't know who you were, I could enjoy a person without the trappings of fan fame....

[@neilgibson2505]

For me this is the best version of the original I have heard, and the first time I have ever heard of this band 😊

[@robertfisher736]

I got to say this my step dad Johnny Mc Cafferty came to nz in 70s was gd friends with john an in The same folk club.i grew up listening to j Martin ❤. Always

[@Aaron-iy3bj]

Just look at the love for that song. Its as if he penned those words himself. So much heart.

[@michaeltaylor7841]

Loved recording this - in the church with one bell - great memories. What a band. Genius :))

[@rieske2000]

What an amazing rendition. Miss him ...

[@ianmcgeachy]

Goosebumps...every bleedin time. The sound, the song, the soul, ...incredible.

[@tpmbe]

nobody can beat this for soul

[@davidpilkington]

I love this guy's music so ... he transmits feelings you can taste. All wrapped up in raw emotion. When I feel a little melancholy, and sad, it's John who has been there too, that I turn to. Rapid remedy.👍

[@tomhamilton5261]

Pure unadulterated soul. Greatly missed talent.Rest easy Johnny boy.

[@marklindh2117]

A genius!!!! He had some amazing music in him right up to the end, there would certainly been more. We lost him too soon. Rest in peace, John
