Bless him.
Here's a lovely one by Tim Hardin that was actually the A-side to a single released in 1971.
And "Maggie May" was the B-side.
Get yourself familiar with this one.
Someone else should record this because it's truly a lovely song.
Shut up, Rod, and start singing.

No, have a sit-down.
Here's a lovely song that I recorded back in, I think, the late '60s, 1970.

And I've always felt -- You know, I feel like...
I wouldn't say -- use the word "discovered," but if I've been introduced to someone I think has got some great vocal quality, I would like to try and bring this person to you.
And this person tonight is a girl who last week was busking on the streets of Glasgow.
A young Scottish girl called Amy Belle.
Please welcome her to the stage.
[ Cheers and applause ] And this is a song you know, and I want to hear some vocal backup for her.
Amy, come on, darling.
This is a big night for her.
Make her feel at home.
Come on.
