For when you're feeling sentimental

I was reminded yesterday of this song by Jimmy McCarthy about the tragic life of boxer Jack Doyle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Doyle).
This never ceases to move me. So suspend your cyncial streak and share the songs that are genuinely poignant without descending into mawkishness.

Luke really had one of the great voices.
