    NOTE THIS:

    Paul McCartney was so pleased with Rankin's covers of the Beatles hits, he asked him to sing a medley of them when McCartney was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987.

      this guy was so good. A bit smooth for some people but his nylon string guitar against his voice in the seventies was second to none

    Can only say... if he had not been born, his dying would have been a tragedy.
