I first met Frank when he was a customer in The Surrey Tavern in Wandsworth Common and I worked behind the bar, must have been 1973. Then I used to watch Frank when he was a " one man band", playing in the pubs around Tooting, Clapham and Battersea, 1977 onwards. A very special performer, he should have made it as a star. One Day at a Time would have done it for him. RIP.
Watched frank sing this in the Plough at Clapham Common many times. He used to sing whisky in the jar and substitute Captain Farrell for Frank O’Farrell. Good times ❤
My Dad knew Frank. He was also a singer.. my Mum also remembers him fondly. Danny Adams aka Barry Adams. I was born in 1977. My Dad spoke of him to me growing up.
Hi Maggie. I'm Frank's only child and live in California. Would love to hear more about when he first arrived in NY! My email is dylanofarrell@yahoo.com if you ever care to connect. No big deal if not. Cheers, Dylan
I have a copy of this 45. It's on a strange custom (mostly plain) label Guitarman Records. The flip "It's Alright" is great! Totally different than the side you posted (which is the flip side).
Guitarman Recrods was Frank's own label. Yes, he wrote that funk track "It's Alright" as the B-Side. Maybe I should upload when I find the time to get around to it!

Very cool. I still sing it the same way as a result of him Gaynor!

Nice to hear Jamie. I myself was born in late 1974.
A most beautiful, poignant song from a soulful singer.
I just heard of Frank’s passing. I knew him when he first arrived in NY and he was a special man.
