Ken Bruce just played this - wow; what a terrific performance by a criminally under rated singer. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Oh I didn't know Mike produced it - we bumped into each other a few months ago and had a catch up. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

It's a Flash problem Paul. They work fine in Firefox which has updated Flash. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I've now checked out all the versions including the magnificent Nina Simone who clearly influenced Elkie but Elkie's is the finest rendition. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I haven't got firefox, I use chrome. Maybe I'll get an update notice. So far all the other sites I visit which use youtube videos are still working. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Hi JK, I'm surprised you didn't recognise it was a Mike Batt production, as it has his trademark orchestration of the time (as in Caravan by Barbara Dickson or Bright Eyes).

But Elkie Brooks version is stellar, her live versions over the years have been even better, she's often rockier on stage than on record.

Always liked Elkie but why on earth is she doing that ugly grimace/pout in between breaths towards the end of the song (look from about 4.20 mins in)? It looks horrible. Weird how performers pick up these bad habits. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
