Clifford T Ward - Gaye

One Day Clifford T Ward will be mentioned in the same breath as Rupert Brook and Dylan Thomas for he is as quintisentially British and poetic as they were. Like them too his life is tinged with the great sadness of unfullfilled promise and was ended far too soon.
He was loved.
This song Gaye marks the first time he came to the attention of the masses. It's a beautiful song but by no means his best.
In a Nationwide BBC poll of the best British songs of the past 50 years his song "Home Thoughts from Abroad" came in at Number 4! Amazing when you realise that it wasn't even a hit single, all the more amazing when you realise how relatively undiscovered he still remains.
