I remember her doing this on The James Whale show back in early 90s and he was pretty peed off that it had dropped out the top 40 that week after only 1 week peaking at N0.39......
I first heard this song on the soundtrack to a programme called Comics, written by Lynda La Plante, would love to get a hold of that to watch again xxxx
I think the secret to a trully amazing performance such as this is a combintation of factors. The main factor, irrespective of the words and the singer`s voice, is the emmotion that is conveyed such as Ray Charles proclaimed. This perfromance encapsulates this principe very nicelly, I think!
This reminds me soo much of my first and deepest love Jill...., Life is a long path, and one day I hope we make that walk that was never completed "Never Forget"
this song really suits some singers better than others--this singer does a good job and she has very good company Janis Joplin, Bette Midler, Mary J. Blige excellent versions--LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
Listened to tons of girls singing this. Many types of vibrato and diction and levels of mania.. I have to say that Turner is probably the winner although you must admire Joplin for emotion even if she was off her tits.. My sis could probably have ripped it apart 10 years back.. Now I think it would just be a big ask and a painful throat the next day.
I love this version but Lorraine's original is still the finest. Anyone who still hasn't heard it, please do check it out. Ruby's voice is great, no question but not a patch on the original. Just my opinion.
Absolutely adore this song. Only heard it maybe a year or so ago but still one of my all time favourites!!! Gives me goosebumps every damn time!! Amazing <3
yees i remember comics also- had a huge impact on me when i watched it - think i was about 14 or 15 at the time. Recall it was on channel 4, i loved it so much i actually wrote to channel 4 to ask who the singer was and if i could buy the series on video (yes i do mean video!!). Unfortunately i was told can't buy the programme - no explanation why?? Still phenomenal song and voice though - unforgettable once heard.
This song is one of the most visceral and heart-crushingly emotional ballads I have ever heard. Ruby's pleading, her devastatingly obvious heartbreak-- "I can't believe you're leaving me!
Stay with me baby!"
Rarely do we find singers that can inject as much emotion into their songs as Ruby Turner.
Duffys version is weak but if a new generation gets to hear this song then thats ok. boat that rocket had both the original lorain ellison and the poor version by duffer.
umm not really :P lol lorraine ellison's classic, agree though that bette midler ur ass and this singer did it amazing. i may even like it better than the original which is very weird since i LOVE the original
So many versions and the song is just the best, but I'm still a fan of Bette Mildlers version in "The Rose" can't find it on you tube can anyone post it?
I had this on vinyl, randomly, could only remember that it had a purple cover, and just came across Ruby Turner as a link from an Etta James track on here! youtube solves life's mysteries!Thanks for posting!
This was used on a really good Drama called comics, in the early 90's, opening seen a kid watches his depressed acid crazed mother dance into the ocean, they don't make 'em like they used to!
@SREDNIVASHTAR74 it was playing at the end when he rode his bike up a hill or down commiting suicide himself...........never forgot song since...........
I remember. It's where I first heard this song. The imagery of his mum walking into the ocean, holding his little sister's hand haunts me. Killed himself riding a motorbike down Aurthur's Seat.
im 1600000, and im alone :) , but i remember you, my love, and never alone again.
