Apart from this being an absolutely fantastic tune, I cannot believe how spookily appropriate it is considering it is the last track on the last album Jackie recorded before passing away [[after having a heart attack and slipping into coma I believe).

Are there any other songs with such a spookily appropriate [[but unintentional) biographical meaning for their singers or songwriters even?

I can think only of "Feel Like Givin' Up" by Paul Williams as another. :)

Back in the 50s,R&B singer Chuck Willis did "What Am I Living For" followed by "Hang Up My Rock n Roll Shoes" and died shortly after

Sam Cooke recorded "A Change Is Gonna Come" not so long before getting mortally wounded.
