James Gandolfini Dies - A Bruce Springsteen Song In Tribute

James Gandolfini.Very sad news about actor James Gandolfini who has died of a suspected heart-attack at the age of just 51 while on holiday in Italy. Only a couple of weeks ago Pam Corkery and I were talking on The Two (Newstalk ZB Friday and Sunday evenings from 8pm) about how The Sopranos had just been voted the best written TV show of all time, a show I always liked a great deal and Pam always loved.Gandolfini played mob boss Tony Soprano from 1999 to 2007 and the thing that struck me today was how young he must've been when he took on what became one of the most iconic roles in American television history. Doesn't 37 seem young to play a mob boss? But Gandolfini always had a presence, whether intimidating or vulnerable.News of Gandolfini's death is extra sad when you learn he leaves behind not only a teenage son from his first marriage, but a wife of five years and a baby girl who hasn't even celebrated her first birthday. As far as tributes go, I see the creator of The Sopranos David Chase has today called his friend a genius, saying that, "a great deal of that genius resided in those sad eyes."So with that in mind, here is a song for James Gandolfini, a truly beautiful buried treasure of a Bruce Springsteen song. Recorded in 1990 and staggeringly left off both of Springsteen's underbought, simultaneously released 1992 albums Human Touch and Lucky Town, this is one of my favourite of his ballads. Sad, beautiful and a potential hit, this is Sad Eyes.
