The Beat "The tears of a clown" Cover of Smokey Robinson
Was that song not about Robin Williams? If I remember right? There's some connection to Robin Williams but I can't remember what.
reply
Iron Maiden did a song called Tears Of A Clown by Adrian Smith and Steve Harris - it was written about Robin Williams.
Smokey Robinson’s version was referring to a clown in the opera Pagliacci.

Ahhh that'll be it. I remember that track. Off the 2015 book of souls album if I remember rightly?
reply
Correct. It’s a good song.
