r.i.p to 1 fine talented lady kirsty u may be gone but your amazing singing voice is liveing on with all your fans including me will never ever 4 get u kirsty great music lets heer it every 1 4 the legend
Taken from us 10yrs ago today,far too young to die. Tracey Ullman covered a few of Kirstys songs,personally speaking,although she did decent versions,,Kirstys were the best ones. Yes,her backing vocals were used for Traceys version of Terry,why not? Kirsty had a way of layering her voice so other backing singers weren't needed.
I was a big Motorhead-fan back then (still I am!) - and I remember seeing this on german TV back in the 80ies!! it was a show called "Musikladen", where popstars used to perform with playback. Motorhead once were they too, and Motor headgirl school.... and in the same show with Kirsty Frankie Gore To Hollywood played "Relax", and then Lemmy came up on stage and fooled around with FGTH, with a sexy dirty lady in his arms... Man, what a show back then!!!
I know that Ms. MacColl was never comfortable nor entirely happy with how the record company "packaged" her early in her career (they wanted her to be the prototypical sex symbol type), but she is absolutely stunning in this video.
Oh, a few years back, there were rumours Lemmy had come out as bi in an interview, but it never existed. His autobio does show him to be quite open-minded and queer-positive, but not himself queer. :(
@indra72 AWW BLESS KIRSTY, SHE IS THE BEST AT HER CRAFT, WHAT A WASTE OF A LIFE, THIS VERSION IS THE BEST EVEN THOUGH SHE PROVIDES BACKING FOR TRACEY ULLMAN'S VERSION THIS IS STILL THE BEST, WOW SHE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE ME.
@indra72 yeah, never seen Lemmy dancin like this ;-) but he's an old rock n roller, can play anything. Guitar was just playbacked, he didn't recorded the original guitar part in this song. Funny how the lemmy stage suddenly goes up at 2:00 and after the solo back down!! this was one of the coolest things Lemmy ever did, it's both - funny and cool. And Kirsty, very hot - - this song had to be No. 1.
My sister is irritated 'cos I keep playing Kirsty's songs...
I keep playing them for a reason! They and their artist are awesome!!!

@pinkcookie1969 i did not know that she sang backing for Tracey's version. Interesting...

@indra72 More like the backing vocals from her original version were lifted from the master tapes and dubbed into Tracey Ullman's cover.
