Fran O'Toole and The Miami Showband - Can't You Understand video free download
Here's The Miami Showband with the late great Fran O'Toole on lead vocals with a beautiful love song written by Fran called "Can't You Understand". The song, like "Love Is" (which you will also find on my channel), was released posthumously following the Miami Showband Massacre, which occurred on the morning of 31st July 1975, in which Fran and two of his colleagues Brian McCoy and Tony Geraghty lost their lives. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha dílis. May they rest in peace. The photo I used is the last known photo taken of the band before the massacre. This video is purely for entertainment purposes and not for profit. I give full credit to the artists and to the owners of the music and photo used in the video and do not claim them to be my own.

I know there are some experts on the Miami showband round here so I would like to ask you if the song "Loco por ti" was written by Fran O' Toole himself or was it a cover song? If so, who performed it originally? If anybody knows please let me know...Thanks a lot!10 years ago

As today is the anniversary I think we should say a prayer to the 3 angels that died on this night in 1975, Brian, Fran and Tony. Thank you lads for the great music that is playing in your memory today. May you Rest In Peace. Sue xx10 years ago
