John Shuttleworth - My Wife Died in 1970

John Shuttleworth on Zoo TV singing about the death of his first wife Margret.

The amount of people who have never herd of him is tragic

[@DislocatedCardiganV1]

I don't know how he can play such a touching ballad without getting choked up...

[@jooboy7167]

It comes out of the other end...
Tenna was still in infancy back then, we have John & Ken to thank for their acceptance in the now Present but back then was very much THE FUTURE!

The punchy ‘fun rhythm’ at regular intervals will help keep the tears at bay.

[@TimLondonGuitarist]

Very sad ditty, difficult to hold back the tears

[@CharlesHawthorn]

He's always had a talent for composing catchy melodies. This is a toe-tapper for sure.

John Shuttleworth cracks me up everytime! He is such a joy!

[@stevepayne1369]

Brilliant - so funny - his body movements and facial expressions to the beat are hilarious and love the dog barking sounds at the end. My favourite Shuttleworth clip by far

[@TheWolflark]

you either love him or hate him ! .... I love him ! xx

[@bradmodd7856]

I am a hater. The funniest thing he has is his skivvy, his material is weak (in my opinion). Just sayin.

[@jinxed_jinxed_3443]

I love him

[@zakelwe]

funnest bit he says the audience does not have the emotional maturity to sing along, then does that....

[@colinbatchford8007]
