He wrote one of my favourite songs, "If You Go Away" recorded by many top singers, such as Dusty Springfield, (my favourite version), Shirley Bassey and others. Rod used the original Jacques Brel song, "Ne Me Quitte Pas" sung so deeply emotionally by Brel, and created the English version.<br /><br />Rod's left this cruel world. If there IS a Heaven then he'll soon be writing more poems and songs. Life goes on...PhilipHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811831703263176415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-4405535448542545402015-01-29T20:06:23.646-06:002015-01-29T20:06:23.646-06:00Janie,

I don't know how I knew of the molestation and abuse, but I just did.
