Love the photos from The Guardian. My particular favourite has always been Dream a little Dream for the Help album.@isaiah53 @jimmyc

Damn you're a young SOB!
This tune was a huge part of my growing up. I remember seeing it performed on the White Room when I was about 14 (in 1996?) or something, his vocals added a strange sense of vulnerbility and detachment to the song.
Now and again I'd revisit the song and it still sounds as ethereal as it did the first time I heard it. I'm listening to it now as I'm writing this, I'm finding his verse to be as moving as it ever was.
RIP.
