Description

Original handwritten lyric from his first Billboard chart-topper

Popular Irish singer-songwriter (born 1946) who penned the 1970s hits “Alone Again (Naturally),” “Clair,” and “Get Down.” Unsigned original working notes and lyrics for the last verse of his 1972 No. 1 song “Alone Again (Naturally),” written in ballpoint on both sides of two lightly lined off-white sheets, one 8 x 5.25, one 8 x 10. Accompanied by a TLS of authenticity from O’Sullivan, stating that “the enclosed hand written ‘notes’ of the lyrics for the last verse of ‘Alone Again (Naturally)’ are genuine,” a printed descriptive card from a radio station where the item was evidently offered as part of a promotion or fundraiser, and an unsigned copy of the sheet music for the song. In fine condition. R&R COA.
