A good old tearjerker if you are a Welshman.
Singer is David Alexander.

Hi Alan.
David Alexander,in my opinion,is one of the
best singers to come out of Wales,knocks
spots off Tom Jones,and he isnt a bad singer.

Re: If i could see the rhondda
Very good singer indeed got on Utube and listened to a few.
Reminds me a lot of Tom Jones with a similar type voice!
My favourite Male Singer is however the late Bles Bridges with his powerfull voice !
Cannot get all his songs but here is a sample !
Cheers
