Roy had one of the great voices in music. In the last couple years of his life, had an amazing resurgence/comeback, in part by hooking up with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, and the great performer and producer Jeff Lynne (whom Roy called his best producer ever). This song, recorded in his last year on earth (age 52), is one of his best ever. He transcended devastating tragedies in his personal life and soldiered on to make some of his best music ever. I still miss this guy.
While we're here, here is a video of Handle Me With Care, which is a great song in itself, but all the more memorable to see all these legends making serious music together.
