    I had never heard of him. What a brilliant performer. He fought so hard to live for many years. But cancer took him in the end, throat cancer, it always comes back. Lurking somewhere waiting to resurface again! He died on 3rd August 2019. 64. RIP Joe.

    "How Do You Keep The Music Playing?"
    classic song and Joe was a great singer emotional one of the best🙏🌹🌹😢🌹
    How do you keep the music playing?
    How do you make it last?
    How do you keep the song from fading
    too fast?
    How do you lose yourself to someone
    and never lose your way?
    How do you not run out of new things
    to say?
    And since you know we're always changing
    How can it be the same?
    And tell me how year after year
    You're sure your heart won't fall apart
    Each time you hear his name?
    I know the way I feel for you is now or never
    The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
    That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever
    If we can be the best of lovers
    Yet be the best of friends
    If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows
    With any luck than I suppose
    The music never ends
    I know (how do you keep the music playing)
    the way I feel for you is now or never (how do you make it last)
    The more I love the more that I'm afraid
    (how do you keep the song from fading)
    That in your eyes I may not see forever
    (Keep the song from fading)
    Forever
    If we can be the best of lovers
    yet be the best of friends
    If we can try with every day to make it better as it goes
    With any luck than I suppose
    The music never ends

    I used to watch him on the TV many years ago, but have only in the last couple of years found out how many of Joe's concerts and songs there are on CZcams.
    On my very first visit to Blackpool with my friend this year, we visited the Joe Longthorne Museum.
    What an amazing experience it was.
    And hearing from people there what a lovely man he was just made our holidsy perfect.
