Linton Garner: I Never Said Goodbye (2003) User Reviews

An amazing man

Linton was a grandfather to me, i first met him when i was very young, and thought he was President Clinton. He had been playing in Rossini's restaurant in Vancouver BC, and continued until his death. I loved him. I interviewed him on his life for a school project, he passed away a few months later, when i was 14 years old. I miss him. He never became as famous as his brother, Errol Garner, but him music would touch any crowd. I remember times when he would be playing the piano, and fall asleep while playing, but his hands would still play. He was an amazing man. I wish he could be recognized throughout the world not only as the amazing musician he was, but as the inspirational man who touched the lives of so many people.

Mr. Garner was man who grew-up with music.

The Film "I never said Goodbye".

It was a spiritual journey watching this old man be recognized for the music that he played and the people he play with. Most people that met him did not know his history. He was a humble man that would not tell you that he wrote music for Billy Eckstine or that he played with Billy Holiday, Diana Washington, Aretha Franklin or that he wrote the musical charts for Atlantic Records first recording sessions in New York City.

I found this information about this senior musician while sharing meals after musical engagements where we, played together. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. He always showed respect for everyone he encountered. He is with us always, Mr.Linton Garner.
