Big woman with a voice to match. A forgotten hit from 1985, more good music that's never heard on the radio anymore, not even on so-called "oldies" stations that play the same damn 50 songs over and over.
this takes emotional performance to a whole new level - i'll give you $100 if you tell me you don't think she convinces you this is autobiographical, even though she didn't write it..
After Annie Lennox did her duet with Aretha Franklin, I was waiting and hoping that Alison would have her shot with the Queen Of Soul. THAT would have been a duet.
Take a look at a late post from May 2011, U.K. It is "Dont Go." Alison looks hot, thin(er)like she did in the very early 80's. Brings back the memories of the old days!
Well here is the start of my beginning......................you thought you could carry on abusing me Terry Twyman, but now I'm back to let you know i can really......................shake it down !!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone is about to learn about the good actor liar and cheat living in Cheltenham, who speaks so much dribble he actually believes all his stories himself.
funny how u hear old songs & they just grab u by the guts ...in a good way.take u right back :) very happy memories tinged with sadness you will never return :(
@somewhatlongdong SERIOUSLY research before you put nonsense up about things you don't know. She's married--to a MAN--and is a mother! Good grief. The whole freaking world is NOT gay. tyvm
According to wikipedia(dot)org, she's still alive...age 49, living in Hertfordshire, England, is married (for the second time) and has three children.
What a wretched song. Includes the worst aspects of 80s pop. I love her Yazoo stuff much better. ANd the standard boilerplate 80s pop backing instruments makes it worse.
Is 'Alf' a smoker? She sure sounds like 1. Anyway, it hit #31 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? Written by the legendary Lamont Dozier. God bless!
This song just is so powerful and Alison is simply breath taking.. Why is it that none of today's so called singers can't bring this type of passion and emotion to their music as this lady did.
Well said! It's because the "me generation"....has a narrow window of taste wired into their brains...and it only lets in (c)rap, hip-hop, and teeny bop sh**. And it's funny because the "me generation" has parents who grew up in the 80's...so go figure..music has become a wasteland and it seems like it's not going to get any better....god, I'm showing my age....I'll stop before the Beyonce'/Li'l Wayne/Ke$ha/Rihanna vein pops out on my forehead and I have a mini stroke-idigress!
Love your comments vivandav67. So true, these days it is all about image and dnace moves, true talent is not as important. There are none today that could stand the test of time as most of the greats can and do.
I used to listen to this song in high school. Brings back memories. Sadly, it hasn't lost its relevance. Sometimes you have to believe in yourself when no one else gives a shit. I saw a recent pic of Ali. She looks even better now. Always a class act.
@moonpie99 Ummm... Mama Cass Elliot was morbidly obese. Alison is big-boned. There's a difference. Cass choked on a baloney sandwich while laying in bed. Very sad story. Food was both her friend AND her enemy. Alison is a lovely woman. Maybe she will make a comeback in 2011.
@moonpie99 I really like your observation, showing the connection between these two great singers. I have been too busy working on the genealogy of Joni Mitchell, not having thought of the wornderful Cass Elliot's progeny.
This one brings back so many good memories of me and my sister Kendra throwing down on that dance floor at Fantasy 2000.......we sure were the divas then were we not sis!!!!!!!!!!
She is and will always be a beautiful,woman a real woman with flesh and curves
and she sings with real feelings and emotions a real fcking rarity in music these days.She's not a puppet for the mega record companies,maybe that's why she never became as huge success wise as she deserved-I love her music it is authentic and speaks to your soul
I,m a man and yes i can relate to this song you see in life we get our hears broken and it,s hard tht dosen,t mean that a person is weak we,re human thers nothen wrong with showing your emotions and one more thing she,s as good as Ann Wilson of heart i love to hear them sing a truly powerful voice!
women always drag the let down by a man card out, you dont hear the men go on as much! thats because when women are moanin its hard to be heard!!!! lololol
id love her to sing it again,,,y wont she sing it again ? every1 keeps saying she wont sing it again,,,it must mean sumthing to her,,,mayb it reminds her off a man that hurt her,,,,now theres a surprise !
She was the 80's Adele, great voice.
