THE TWELFTH OF NEVER - BY OLIVER
Bill Swofford, known to the world as OLIVER, had a voice that could touch the soul, and his rendition of this Johnny Mathis classic is nothing short of breathtaking. Today, we remember Bill—a talent gone too soon but one who left behind a timeless legacy of beautiful music. Enjoy this treasured digital remaster of his stunning interpretation of The Twelfth of Never, a song that continues to resonate with warmth and emotion.
He was a true renaissance man excelling in virtually every way. He was a loving humanitarian and the kindest, most humble man I’ve ever met. If I could do more to spread his beautiful music, character, and kindness, I would. This channel and his Facebook page reflect my sincere hope that through these efforts, his memory lives on, as it does in my heart. I’m forever grateful for his friendship, his faithful heart, his music, and his enduring love. 💙
This video is released as part of the celebration of life for William Oliver Swofford (2/22/1945 - 2/12/2000); It's being provided as a small gesture of my humble respect and love for this magnificent man taken from us too soon, yet he left these bits of evidence of his short but accomplished, admirable and humbled life. #BeLikeBill
Here's to you Bill - may your beautiful spirit always live strong in the presence of our loving God. This place went dim when you left.
It was originally released on his first album, Good Morning Starshine in 1969. This recording is simply beautiful!
