How long is knocking on heavens door

A special version of the song was recorded by Ted Christopher, a Scottish musician, who recorded a cover with a new verse added and had children from Dunblane singing the chorus. Christopher intended to commemorate the schoolchildren and teacher who were killed in the Dunblane massacre. All proceeds went to charities for children. Another version of the track was recorded by Warren Zevon for his album The Wind.

He was suffering from lung cancer when he recorded the song and had died shortly after the album release. Source: UG. Edit Profile Logout. Credit: Poetical Me. Randy Crawford , Music , people who have passed away , Poems about Death , soldiers who have passed away. Bookmark the permalink.
