What Happened to Gilbert O’Sullivan?

[cymro]

One of the most overlooked singer songwriters.

He is still going strong and producing new inventive albums and giving concerts. Saw him today at Barbican in London ... it was great.

My memories of Gilbert O'Sullivan was in the early 70s. I enjoyed his songs "alone again" and "get down"👍♥️🙏✝️✌️😎

[jenniferholden]

I still love his music. I hope he’s still writing music and has a beautiful life, because he deserves it. All his music deserves to be played, forever. Thank you.

I went to see Gilbert in concert in Manchester on Sunday 9th October 2022 Still as brilliant as I remember him. A real treat with songs and stories about his life. May he continue for many a year👍👍👍👍

I remember his music from the 70's with a smile seems like a nice guy

I was 13 in 1971, visiting my sister when I first heard "Alone Again Naturally" I'm 66 now and I still listen to the song ❤❤ My all time favorite song to sing around the house and at karaoke!!! I know all of the words by heart!!! I have several of his CDs and listen to them often!!! I love Gilbert O'Sullivan ❤

Clair is my favorite. Never get tired of his music.

My school friend we are 65 now. Went to see him a few weeks ago in Manchester uk. Unfortunately I live in USA for 37 years now. I loved all his songs in the 70’s. My friend said the concert was fabulous everyone was singing along. ❤️

Brings back memories from 1970. Still love his music today.

Happy to hear after 50+ years in the businesses that he is still touring. His first big hit “Alone Again” had a remarkable lyric.

[robvandervaart]

Gilbert writes wonderful songs, beautiful melodies, witty or poetic lyrics, releases new albums, tours in Ireland, UK, US, Japan, Netherlands, Israel, Belgium, Norway, Denmark and Europe, and lives on Jersey enjoying the countryside and his family and grandchildren. 🎶🌎💖🍀

I was a disc jockey back in 1972 and I remember we played the snot out of "Alone Again" and then "Clair." I was not a fan, but we were never allowed to share a negative opinion about a song we were playing. Then in 1973, I was finally promoted from overnights to the night shift 7 - Midnight. My very first shift also happened to be the very first night shift for Wolfman Jack at WNBC in New York. I was working on the CT shoreline and WNBC came into our market like a local. Now here comes the weird part; both Wolfman Jack and myself started our shows at the very same time 7:06 as we both ran network news AND we both started our shows with the exact same song, "Get Down" by Gilbert O'Sullivan.

I first heard Gilbert on the radio, in the late sixties singing "Gaily underneath the blanket go" and have been a fan ever since. He wrote some classics including Nothing Rhymed, probably my all time favourite track, but so many great songs. Still listening to him 48 years later.

[simonhodgetts]

I’ve seen him play live twice - both were great concerts - I’d thoroughly recommend anyone with even a passing interest in GIlbert’s music to catch one his concerts!

[derekstocker]

Thank you for this great update into one of my favourite songsmith's.
Gilbert was a breath of fresh air to music at the time and his songs were so well received.
Very pleased he is still OK and performing.

[christophercoughlin]

Alone Again is one of the great sad Irish tinged ballads of all time. Love it forever! Glad he's still playing! Music is such a difficult industry.

I was watching 'Moving' the wonderful Korean drama and was delighted to hear his song 'Alone Again' being used, it was such a surprise but it fitted in perfectly. I saw O'Sullivan at Batley Variety Club in the 70s and still have one of his early LPs.

I'm pleased to say that I attended his concert in Basingstoke (Southern England) on May 11th 2022 (a duet with Gilbert on piano and an excellent guitarist called Bill Shanley). He was as good as I had hoped! He has a new album, "Driven" to be released in July. ♥☺♥☺
