paulV helped me to find a track the other day.
it’s called ’softly whispering i love you’ or something like that.
paulV said it was by ‘the congregation’ and lo, i looked at that and saw that it was good.
except it wasn’t for, yay, it did verily sound like a load of old rubbish off a coffee advert in the 70s.
and the thought in the supreme mindframe went “arsecakes".
and so, laydees an’ gennlemen i did sore repair to the 24 hr record dealer and again sought spiritual advice from st paulV. and let me tell you that my calls for help were answered because i heard this message “download for free the paul young version what was done by st paul (young out of the Q-tips)”
and lo, it was downloaded (eventually) and it was good.
except it wasn’t for verily it was a pileth of pantaloons.
so lemme tell you, boys an’ girls, laydees an’ gents that the version of ’softly whispering i love you’ is still on the loose. you hear me? it’s loose. come on; get down.
get in, tune out, drop dead and freak it.
you givin’ me earworm bro’
what i NEED to hear is that one mo’ fo’ track that DOES IT for me.

and when i do i will be happy because it is a great song. i want to hear the faltering voice and guitar. good tune for my funeral if i can only get the right version.

and on that note i shall leave you.

Hello Henners.

Your bloggage since I last managed to get online and read it has turned into something wonderful.

Thanks for sharing the stuff about your dad H. I got moist eyes thinking about how wonderful it must have been for you.

As a prize for sharing with us I will tell you that the track you are looking for is “Softly whispering I love you” by “The Congregation” circa 1971 on Columbia records.

Lots of love
Mermy

david and jonathan, eh? my quest continues…
now all i have to do is prise that version out of the 24hr record dealer. but last time i asked him he only had the congregation version and the paul young one.
hmm, i will have to buy a pack of sniffer dogs to aid me in my search…

Alas, Mr.Mermy, like the man sez, ’tain’t The Congregation’s version - he obtained that one and, Lo!, ’twas an awful MOR version (as I indeed remember it to be). I suspect the elusive David and Jonathan version will prove to be this particular Holy Grail. If not, there was an amateur, acoustic guitar version knocking around to which links are still findable on Google, but the links are dead. Curses!
