God gave David a Beautiful Voice , Should be as famous as Tom Jones because he sings just as good but he sings in God's choir way to soon ....God Bless David
What a great voice I play this song quite often very much underrated in my opinion better voice than Tom Jones but the later got the brakes unfortunately for David Reading about him from many years ago apparently he was a very lovely man and also his wife was a lovely lady who misses David every day and when he passed away the said IF ONLY HEAVEN HAD A PHONE what a beautiful sentiment and also very sad .IF ONLY THERE WAS A PHONE IN HEAVEN loads of hugs From me to u xx
Played this at my Mums funeral last year, she loved this song and she literally was MY answer to everything, I miss her terribly and cry when I hear this song, beautiful words ❤
Robbed of the stardom and rewards that come with it. David’s voice is pure gold, he sadly left this world way too soon. He makes me proud to be Welsh, thankfully we are left with his legacy his of wonderful music. God Bless x
I agree had a fab voice my mum lived in spain and loved him .unfortunately I lost my mum in june . We go to tenerife and a lot of the artist knew David how sad taken too young
This was my beloved hubby and mine special song , he passed away 2 years ago and when I listened to that song at his cremation my sobbing could be heard a mile away and many of times I think I shouldn't torture myself by listening to it but I feel still we're together ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is my parents 'song'. They are both 84, and Dad has Alzheimers. It's the cruellest of diseases that has stolen my Mum's lovely gentle husband and replaced him with a stranger. Sometimes when we play this, she gets him back for just a moment, and he is once again that tall, handsome dark haired lad in uniform who sang this to her and stole her heart. Love. It's the answer to everything.
Very cruel,Valerie, we are trying to fight this with my dear wife.I play lots of you tube songs as we lie in bed together.Theres still a lot of the old partner left and I'm terrified of losing her,heartbreaking in fact but I must keep our spirits up,so I have alonger time with her.God Bless anyone who reads my post.Thankyou,nick.
@@nickcasale8438 ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 my thoughts are with you both it’s so sad you’re a devoted loving husband you must’ve been so happy can’t imagine the pain you’re both going through❤️❤️
I've heard this a thousand times in pubs and clubs across Scotland, this is the first time I've heard this man sing it. Awesome voice, he is definitely up there with the best of them including Tom Jones. Wonderful song too.
I have been playing these beautiful 💘 songs to my 70 year old boyfriend who had never had the pleasure of hearing David sing before he is in awe of him xxxx
A friend from England sent me a recommendation to listen to David, l had not heard of him in the United States.Needless to say l was blown away with his hauntingly beautiful voice. I was able to hear him on RUclips, then promptly sent to England for his CD, Loved everything ,especially A working man l am, and The answer to every thing. Was devastated to learn of his death, but his beautiful voice will live on. Valerie Gilbert.
Heard this song in Blackpool ex miners singing it I play it lots and people always ask who is that he would be a super star now as he should have been then LEO PRESTON
I was a session drummer and worked with David Alexander a lot. He was a great singer and a nice guy but left us too early. The places he performed in was always busy. Nov. 24
I'm a 63 year old elvis fan since the age of 8. Elvis was a white man with a black person's soul. He helped path the way for black people to get seen and heard singing .he was never a racist.
My mum loved him she & her friends went to see him in every working men's club in Stoke! My mum passed away in march last year & listening to this makes me remember how much I loved her & how special she was & how I will never get over her passing RIP mum love u for ever
hi Steven you will never and i mean never get over losing your mum but you will learn to live with it and after a while you will begin to smile over her funny little ways that you now do
I have to shamefully say I’ve lived in Wales since 1964 and I’ve never heard of this man what a fantastic voice put some of the modern crap today to shame David Alexander I wish I’d of had the privilege of seeing you live may you rest in peace God bless you
The best singer to come out of Wales, what lovely clear words. You cannot tell what half of these modern singers are singing. David come back and learn these young singers how to sing. We will never forget you, our loss is heavens gain. RIP David.
It's not music these days, it's a noise. If there were more singers like David to relax and able to listen to it could be a happier world. R I P David.
Found David a few weeks ago thanks to RUclips,sorry he never received the accolades he deserved,far better than Tom Jones in my opinion,I listen almost every day to him. Just wonderful
Never heard this song before. However, I've been singing it at home and in the future will be one of my sing a long songs after a dinner party. What a song!
hi richard this guy was and still is one of the best singers in the world died to young would have knocked spots off tom jones but another guy you want to listen to is charlie lanndsborough he also is a brilliant guy regards ray cross
@@ffionthedog I was on holiday in Zakynthos when I heard this for the very first time. I initially thought it was Tom Jones singing it, but it was David Alexander. Absolutely fabulous.
sometimes life is oh so bloody cruel a man with a voice like that to be struck down with cancer i am one of the lucky ones i got over cancer and will be greatful for the rest of my life
I met David Alexander way back in the mid 70's when he was doing the clubs in Liverpool. I can remember us all leaving the club at closing time and going into China town for very late suppers. He was the nicest guy and so very much in love with wife :) I was so sorry to learn of his death but he remains with me in my memories of him and his songs :)
I've listened to all the other versions but David Alexander is the best...sings with so much emotion! My Dad's favourite song, and I promise I will carry out your wish.... I love you so much Dad xxx
Just stunning voice. I used to hear this being sung in the pubs and clubs years ago. God this man can sing. Just recently found him and could listen all day
We played this at our dear. Mother’s funeral 2 weeks ago , she and us loved this song and yes she was our everything, and us hers,beautiful memories when we hear this song 😢❤
This man was one of the most fantastic singers I ever heard, his voice so powerful, years ago he used to sing in a place called Amanda's in Tenerife Adeji if ever you go in you will see his gold record on the wall, and if you ask the compare to sing it he will sing the song , the Answer, because it was his friend, and David would be proud, of him god bless 🤍💙
i met David his brother used to run a bar in Newport s wales and my band was practicing in a garage and we were playing one of David's tracks and the door knocks we opened the door and mike from the bar was at the door with David so we invited them in and David said we played his song very well and to keep it up so we had a lovely chat he was a great man so thank you for this memory
I'm 28, and my nan used to always play david Alexander songs god bless her soul. She absolutely loved this one and would sing to the top of her voice. I'm so glad she introduced me to his music as he had an amazing voice. So much better than the dreadful music they produce nowadays. Miss you nan ❤
he lived not far from me his wife had a puppet duck and made a single you can watch it on youtube is called googie the liverpool duck david died in 1995 the same year as my mum and his grave is close to my mums so always visit him when i go and see my mum x
His songs have such a strong and emotional hold in my memory. I remember listening and singing along with them with my grandparents when i was very young. Sadly they are not with me anymore but when i listen to david alexander i remember those days like it was yesterday. An incredible voice that made a huge impact on me.
Goosebumps, stunning, beautiful, what a loss at such a young age, bless you, it’s our loss, would loved to hear more of your Welsh voice, I’m English & proud, but dearly love the beautiful voice of this man, & I adore the Welsh language, I love them but not sure they feel the same way towards us England people, I dearly love wales, such a beautiful site on holidays, ❤️
David's voice so powerful with meaning always play his songs, he left us too soon, but the angels in heaven must be enjoying his songs , missed so much
Hi everyone. I really appreciate all your wonderful comments you have made here. This is one of my facourite song of his and i am so glad you all found it terrific too. Once again ~thank you very much for stopping by for a listen. all the best Owen
I love David , He was in a local supermarket and my mother was a huge fan , But very shy , David come right over and signed her CD .Was brilliant , i was only 13 .
This is my Grandads song, he died when i was 13 and i would listen to David Alexander with him and listen to my nan and grandad singing along. It is now the 'anthem' in our cricket club and we ask every artist to sing it at the end of their set. It will always be special to me xx
