As if Uncle Neilโs original lamenting the state of our planet ๐ wasnโt sad enough
This a capella cover (which weirdly charted in the US and other countries in the 70s; I remember hearing it on pop radio in LA) is basically two minutes of heartbreak on wax.
Just overpowering soulfulness. An amazing musician and singer, such an incredible loss when his demons got the best of him. The sound he makes coming out of the conga break (around 9:10) gives me goosebumps.
