Hear hear Sal, I always liked his songs, and find Alone Again Naturally to be one of the finest songs he ever wrote.

Happy Birthday to him indeed.

Am I missing something here, if he was born on 1st Dec 1946, how is he 61 today. Incidentally, he was born 2 days after myself.

I loved him! I'd forgotten all about him! Wonder if I still know all the words to the songs I knew...

Mrrzy, that's exactly what I thought when I heard about his birthday on radio 2 yesterday. I do hope he reads this lot about him, cos it's time he came out of hiding for a bit.

I would always cite GOS as the first songwriter I discovered for myself (as against the older brothers bringing in the LP).
A great writer of original lyrics and melodies who sings with great clarity.

She's really done it now.."
Happy birthday Gilbert!

Come on Sal, everywhere I look, Gilbert O'Sullivan was born in Waterford on December 1st. 1946. Now, it's obvious that you're a big fan, but surely it should be Happy Unbirthday!

I did a search but didn't come up with anything. Must've looked in the wrong place. Thanks for the blicky.
