So many of us have the privilege of still hearing his music. An incredible talented man. I'm so sorry for your loss and pain.

@@tonyska Thanks Tony. I don't mean it in any arrogant sense, but I never tire of people saying how much they appreciated Dads talents. All the best to you for 2021 pal.

@@ljdmanxfella5793 Thanks mate and the same to you. It's not arrogance to love hearing people talk about one of your parents who are no longer with you. Any of us who have lost our parents, know that feeling well.

[@daniellacerda4498]

Wow! Here you can see the difference from someone that singing is a passion to someone who singing is a business. Pure passion, love and emotion. 👏🏻

[@impronter1]

It hurts my soul to witness how much he felt this song. That voice, those eyes, that whispering. RIP, you beautiful Man.

[@CorvusCoroneCanisLupusSawel]

I feel you completely. I'm 43, a singer of 20+ years and have always loved this song since I was a kid . He really felt it here, how he didn't crack and cry, I'll never know...I sure did :)

[@kevinburns5762]

Every time I see this song played live it always makes me think how much it must have meant to him, he always looks as if he's going to cry playing it live

[@angusmeigh5141]

I remember this song really well from when it was in the charts way back in the 1980s.

[@lesegobogatsu9854]

MHSRIP. SO TOUCHING INDEED. LOVELY SONG

[@Chris-pv2ht]

I dont think I ever ever really heard anyone put some much into a song like he did its as if he is singing from his heart

[@NicolasLanzone]

Nossa Senhora, quando ele foi pro agudo, a voz dele dos anos 80 voltou, fiquei arrepiado.

Brilliant! I thought he was going to crack under the extreme emotion he was obviously feeling but he absolutely nailed it.

[@fredfish6329]

You see all that disposable hyped up rubbish on the X Factor and the like and then in another universe is someone with more charisma, feeling and conviction in their little finger than the whole lot of them put together. Truly jaw dropping performance from a very very talented man. RIP JD

Right, in every word.

[@georgelorimer6335]

Proud to have met this humble, generous man who was so passionate about music #RIPJimDiamond

[@chrisslade3141]

Me too, on three occasions when he played local gigs in Surrey U. K. On each occasion he performed brilliantly accompanied as in this video by Ronnie Johnson. He always met, chatted with and signed cd's etc for those who remained behind at the end. He was a quiet and humble man and a pleasure to listen to performing. He also toured with Snake Davis but sadly I didn't get to see what must have been a fantastic combination. His passing was a sad loss to music and to the children's charities that he keenly supported and assisted with funding. A true gentleman R. I. P Jim.

[@mh1979odense]

Nothing less than one of the most amazing performances from not just a great singer, but also a great gentleman. I'm left in tears. Never forgotten, forever missed.

[@johndoran6037]

Amazing voice. Will be missed.

[@mickd6942]

He really lures you into thinking he couldn't hit those notes anymore then BOOM !!! Just blows the roof off , without a doubt the best version of this song by a mile .

[@maurorodrigues8561]

Estou muito emocionado , mesmo ele mais e com muito dificuldade pra cantar ele mandou muito bem nesse acústico

+Natália Vieira a interpretação nos olhos dele sempre foi de quem sentia o que essa musica sentimentalmente representava... gosto de mais dessa musica mas essa versão dele ja bastante idoso me emocionou e ao mesmo tempo tive uma seria reflexão da ação do tempo sobre nós... e os arrependimentos não se apagam quando são verdadeiros como é o que a letra da musica diz.

Dennis, você disse tudo, podemos entender que esse corpo é apenas um veiculo, com data de validade, o mais importante é a nossa essência, que é ETERNA, quanto a música, ela é tudo de bom, passa uma excelente vibração, sem falar que nos leva a viajar no tempo, na época em que as coisas mais simples e naturais, ERAM A TRADUÇÃO DO AMOR.
