Seasons in the sun, a tribute....

Been a while since I've done a music post.

While on youtube, found Seasons in the sun, by Terry Jacks, and that is the version that I remembered. I was gosh, like 14 when it came out. I remember being on the bus, coming back from a basketball game or wrestling match, and this would come on, and the girls would all be crying.

What surprised me was all the cover versions of this....although to be fair, not sure if Jacks did it first, or just had the best known version.

Here is his:
