  • reminds me of the boat that rocked.. awesome scene!

  • OMG!!! I have been looking for this song for more than 15 years!!!!!! I need a drink!!!

  • @rooszinerin Listening to this would be more than ruined by having a drink, after 22 years of not doing so I have

    discovered a true way of life and my ongoing search is quite exquisite, without having to lean on any useless crutch!!

  • one's baby went away without listening at his song...

  • saw her at ronnie scotts recently, she sang this, i hadnt heard it properly before, i was absolutely blow n away....wonderful

  • <3<3<3

  • The Boat that rocked <3

  • I Worked with Ruby in the late 70's & i was privileged to here her Demo tape's

    first hand, on our dinner breaks,

    She's worked from the bottom Up A really great,& talented lady

  • When some people say they can't go on they really mean it.

  • saw her last weekend in ronnie scotts, better than ever, like a fine wine...amazing!

  • shes one of the best soul/blues singers ever, saw her live twice and she is truly an amazing personality and singer

  • omg this such a brilliant voice, so soulful and musically spot on

  • makes me cry every bloody time. COMICS!!!! cud never mind the name

  • Fantastic version, what a singer.,

  • This song is AMAZING...what a voice Ruby has and the lyrics are so heartfelt...LOVE IT xx

  • On the movie Pirate Radio one of the djs does the best cameo with this song. he all cries and lip syncs this, pretty funny. Great song

  • love your music Ruby you are a true star and i have many happy memories of your music !!

  • ahh i freaking love this song!!!

  • 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!!!!

  • awsome! nufff said! i listened to this so many times and never once didnt cry at the chorus!

  • Annsofi 1. Delfinale X Factor Norge

    Search on it! It's an amazing cover of young girl from norway! :)

  • It's sooo nice song. I like it a lot. :D

  • i love ruby, thanks for posting - just BEAUTIFUL!

  • 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.

  • The Boat that rocked, aka Pirate Radio this song was used so perfectly with the film It made me re-invest in the classics

  • I love the song.

    It's amazing (and little sad) the change in the music, I want to see something like that in the new singers.

  • I luv when Bette Midler sung this in the movie The Rose. This lady does a good job too. I never heard of her before.

  • 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

  • fantastic song xxx

  • 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.

  • Enough to make a big man cry.

  • l remember watching Comics all those years ago, it was brilliant, l wish it would be shown again.

  • Amazing... <3

  • Amazing... <3

  • amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Greetings from germany

  • Best cover of this song by far.

  • 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.

  • this is way better than duffy's version in my opinion.

  • the boat that rocked ha ha ha ha

  • 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.

  • Wonderful Song :')

  • is this the version used in the "Boat that Rocked"

  • @22lottie22 no the one on the boat that rocked is duffy.

  • @22lottie22 yeah it is

  • My teacher is her current manager :)

    She's really good!

  • Ruby has the most amazing voice ever, love it xx

  • Janis Joplin also sung it. Listen if you're interested, I've uplaoded it.

  • SUBLIME

  • Bette MIdler my a**! This is Shirley Brown's classic, and this singer did it SOOOOO FINE!

  • 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

  • wow she is just soooo soulful!!!!!!! WOW

  • people all was run when things went wrong .. i stuck around . and never cheated .. bastard bitch

  • ehhh????? whats that all about????

  • agh my ex being a knob head .. i love this track .. but sometimes it drives me bonkers

  • @s7a7l Yesssss!!!!That's what I remember as well!!!! TNX!!! I cried my eyes out watching that scene with this song. OMG!!!!!

  • @s7a7l hahaha i know what th ehell he on about! .. loving the bastard bitch comment

  • @s7a7l that's about someone typing with one teary eye open

  • wow so you stuck around and got hurt anyway? dont let it hurt you anymore.. maybe youll find it again x

  • One of the best soul songs ever, she sings it well, for me the most soulful and emotional as to be lloraine ellison,.

  • There's is only one woman who can do this song justice,Ruby is the one that do'es.Great song.

  • 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've post it.

  • I'm going to see her this evening - can't wait!

  • Was lucky enough to see her sing this live. Made my hair stand on end! Ruby is the best.

  • one great singer and song i seen ruby turner live twice she is one great singer

  • 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!

  • It was a great series, why do they never repeat these things???

  • 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!

  • Thanks for that. I couldn't remember what programme (or film) i'd heard it on years ago and it's been annoying me for years.

  • @SREDNIVASHTAR74 it was playing at the end when he rode his bike up a hill or down commiting suicide himself...........never forgot song since...........

  • @SREDNIVASHTAR74

    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.

  • @SREDNIVASHTAR74

    Worse than that dude....she took his little sister into the ocean with her, and left him behind on the beach....

  • Nice version,.ktf.
