RIP Vincent

Many, many, years ago, when I was a teenager, I worked in the service department of Kenwood food mixers. On the bench opposite, was another young man by the name of Les Reed. After about 18 months, I went into the RAF, and Les, a superb pianist, went on to great things as a composer/song writer. (Google the name)
Years later, after having hits such as, It's not unusual, Delilah, The Last Waltz, I heard Les being interviewed on the radio. He was asked if there was a particular song that he wished he had written, and he replied without hesitation, "Vincent"
A wonderful song, put together in that clip with pictures painted by Vincent. A nice peaceful way to spend four minutes.
Dennis.
