He should be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, as he was not only a prolific songwriter. He wrote and sang more songs with the Byrds than Jim McGuinn. His songs were the best.
David Crosby clearly described the unscrupulously corrupt music industry. gene fell foul of their ways and they prevented much of his deserved success. How they must grovel now when they may have gagged his brilliance once, but his voice can never be muffled and his popularity is spiraling. Spanish Guitar, My Marie and at least 15 other masterpieces will live on forever and I shall always hear him.
Não existe um poeta como Gene. Sua música explode em emoções e, nós leva aos caminhos procurando tudo aquilo que presenciamos no espelho que reflete o nosso sonho. Gente Clark meu amigo agora nos campos de uma dimensão distante. Obrigado por toda essa chuva dourada que você nos deixou através de seus poemas que se referem muito ao meu viver.
".....to wars of greed and passion. And to the few who do survive there is no satisfaction ." Pretty much sums up Gene's relationship with the music business. This is my all time favorite Gene Clark recording. It and Spanish Guitar are enough to qualify him for the Songwriters Hall Of Fame.
Carla is not on the Mountain Stage portion (7 tracks) of In Concert--disc one, only on the last 3 tracks which she and Gene recorded at Gene's house. Their take on Carla's song Number One (is to survive) is exquisite. Gene exclaims "That's cool!" at the end. Yes it is!
This is gene at his best,i've heard about 6 versions of this song and this one really packs the punch and puts the song through to a place where it should be,great version!
I always find it strange when I speak to people who were into The Byrds in the 60s, but don't know any of Gene's music. Seems to be a common theme, and I guess the lack of publicity at the time was the main reason his solo records never achieved the sales figures they deserved.
The Harmonica Company yes it surprises me too and it is strange and unfortunate. IMO Gene's management (or lack of) is partly to blame, but there were many other contributing factors.
sorry guys I always saw Gene as THE man in the Byrds Jim's 12 string got the attention but Gene was the gift to the band, Mcguinn made that point in his solo gigs
Ambitious colleagues such as Mr Crosby and McGuin would never have promoted him. And I don't feel there were many tears shed when the great talent walked off the plane!
Just curious if any of you know whether or not Gene's sons were able to obtain Gene's guitars, unfinished music, awards etc. that Terri Messina stole at the time of Gene's death. She died in 2007. I wonder if she had any conscience when she died and made sure that they received what was rightly theirs after she lied and said she was his wife.
Flying was the excuse for the Byrds to dismiss Gene. Sure he walked off the plane but was every thing harmonious before he walked? You took away his guitar, he was replaced as lead singer and the number of songs on the third album were cut. Who wouldn't want to walk off the plane? He was prevented from achieving his potential there. Of all BYRDS,, Gene's songs will endure forever even though he lived only a short life. The quality and quantity of his songs far surpass all other Byrds and many other recognized artists.
Every once in awhile I listen to Gene (and have for over thirty years) and I think, how could some one be so good, and unique?
There are a lot of singer songwriters, but none who can sing like Gene Clark. That voice is incredible.
he was so special!
Happy 78th in heaven, dear Gene - fly high, beautiful man❤️

I agree! Hope you signed the petition. Please pass it along! Thank you
Gene has both an amazing singing voice and an amazing speaking voice. I can listen to him all day long.
His beautiful songs were really his horrific pain, but we love him just the same....
What a beautiful, beautiful song. I am so glad I have taken an interest in Gene Clark's music. I think he was very under-appreciated in the Byrds.

Beautiful song: Geno at his Best. Indeed he should be one of the most famous songwriters. The voice of an Angel. In Holland/Europe, we love Gene Too !

Beautiful singing of a beautiful song.

thank you, yes, couldn't agree with you more!
Thank you! I started that petition! Please continue to spread the word! :)
So beautiful. Clark at his best. Thanks Ingrid.
you're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
My late father was in the Gene Clark club alright. Brought me up well. This man was other worldly and incapable of doing anything bad

I always envisioned Roy Orbison singing this.
Roy would have done a good job!
Ooh yeah. A perfect choice for Orbison.... but this is a beautiful gift from Gene. In 1988, heart and soul and voice; all there. 💝
I heard a later Roy Orbison track on the radio recently and was like...woah is this Gene!? til the chorus kicked in. There's deffo an overlap
Thank you
Awesome. Thank you for sharing.
THIS.. is AMAZING.
Thank you!!!
Jojo heartspaypay you're very welcome! Thank Gene! ☺
from In Concert (disc 1)
Wonderful Indigo, thx so much for posting yet another Gene gem :)
Great upload Indigo. Thanks so much

Thanks for posting this, Indigo! It disappeared from RUclips a few years ago and I missed it!
you're very welcome!

I don't believe they have recovered everything.
I used to be a Deadhead but now its FBB gram parson and GENE FREAKING CLARK
You can be into all three, I am .

Isn't Gene brilliant?
IMHO, Carla too low in the mix.
she actually isn't on that song, that's the title of the CD
