Ray’s chat 79
Hi FolksIt’s RAYS CHAT Seventy Nine.
Hi Folks:
I was thinking Who I should feature for CHAT 79.
When I remembered a strong Irish voice. That came into my mind. It was a voice I remember from “The Old days”.
And I think that it is time We talked about:
This Great Irish singer; I was thinking about. Who unfortunately has Long gone.
His name was Luke Kelly: and Sadly He died in in 1983.
I remember Luke’s voice as being Very strong:
Fortunately we have some very fine recordings to remind Us.
Yes: He had a fine strong voice. And sang with The Dubliners for a while; as well as many Solo performances.
Put in:
Luke Kelly The Town I Loved So Well 8.09
He really was a Great performer.
JUST; Listen to his version of The Black Velvet Band:
And I tell you, No one sang it better than Luke:
Put in:
Luke Kelly Black Velvet Band 4.02
And believe or not over 7 Million people had viewed that Clip
But: for Me; it is when He sings slower songs THAT He really is at his best: Just listen to how He sings this.
The Ewan McColl Song “The Shoals of Herring”.
Put in:
Luke Kelly – The (Bonny) Shoals of Herring 4.55
Superb version:
I don’t think you will ever hear that song sung better than that:
Oh Yes: Luke could pull your Heart strings: Just Listen to him singing this next song..
and there are some Great Pictures to go with it:
Put in:
Luke Kelly. Dublin in The Rare Oul Times. Dublin Photos 5.29
Oh Yes: Luke was a very fine singer. Let’s have: One more Song from Luke; And this is probably His Very finest Song.
Put in.
Luke Kelly – Raglan Road [Audio Stream] 4.17
Difficult to follow; Yes. I think We had best have a Lady after Luke?
Yes: My Choice shall be, an Irish Lady; Singing, an Irish Song.

One of the Very Best Songs; Ever.
Put in:

And As, We are with Gentle Songs and Gentle Singers. A much loved Gentle Lady comes to my mind.
