Dubbed as &#8220;The Singing Cowboy&#8221; or &#8220;Die Singende Beesboer&#8221;, his recordings, in both English and Afrikaans, swept the best seller charts of the era. What an honour when Charles recorded three of my songs on the last album he recorded &#8211; &#8220;Charles Jacobie s\u00ea Dankie&#8221;. The songs were &#8220;Droomverlore&#8221;, &#8220;My Mooiste lied&#8221; and &#8220;Oorkant die Vaalrivier&#8221;. Sincerely, John Edmond.<br \/>\n1. It Must Be Love<br \/>\n2. The Gambler<br \/>\n3.

Well ever since that day love has been in the air. We have been sleeping eating and drinking love. Then to crown it all the wedding theme that was decided upon was Little green apples. They wanted John to perform this song live for them to open the dance floor.This became John&#8217;s first mission find the words rehearse the song then record it.
