This beautiful song: "Can't Cry Hard Enough" from the "Celebration" album 1994, Smokie are singing from the beginning with Alan Silson, Terry Uttley and Alan Barton. This song was a amazing favorite with the entire band and by 1995, Smokie were even stronger, with headlining tours booked across Europe.
Tragically on their way to Dusseldorf airport the tour bus careered off the road in a freak hailstorm. There were three band members on the bus, Alan Silson, Terry Uttley and Alan Barton. Alan Silson and Terry Uttley suffered bad cuts and bruises. However, Alan Barton's injuries were so critical that after 5 days in Intensive Care, he lost his fight for life. The band had now to face the biggest crisis they had ever been through. Not only had they lost a great front man, but a very dear friend. They knew that if they didn't start work almost immediately, they never would. That meant the end of Smokie. With the help and support of fans and the media it was decided that they continue.
There was a need to continue and Mike Craft - a friend of the band, was invited to audition and after just playing one song, the band knew that Mike was to be their new front man. It was felt that Mike had the strength and sensitivity to take the band into their next chapter. And the story continues. Here is the song: "Can't Cry Hard Enough" with Mike Craft which is also beautiful.
The video I created are from the movie: Brokeback Mountain. I love the song and I love the movie, and I thought they belonged together. This is a music video tribute I created for people who died to soon and to support people with HIV+ Such an unnecessary death.. Please feel free to share it with anyone/everyone.
"Can't Cry Hard Enough" was written by David Williams and Marvin Etzioni from the band Lone Justice for Williams Brothers lyric. It has since been covered by Smokie and others artists.
