Never heard of Adele until about 5 minutes ago on Youtube. When I heard Adele, I immediately thought of Alison and came here. Adele is fine, but Alison feels like an original and would have the same stardom as Adele if she were starting her career today.
Wow, she sounds great here. Truly one of the most original voices in music-I remembering listening to fad gadget records-this is EARLY eighties-when she was still doing backing vocals for other artists on MUTE records and even then her voice stood out, even singing with other female voices. I knew then she had something and to see her this many years later, sounding so wonderful and looking great, I see she still has it.
Though it has a lot less hits, this has to be one of the best renditions of this song. Also check out the Royal Albert Hall version of Dec. 2009. Alison and Vince sond better now than they ever did.
I've always loved her voice, and never thought she sounded like a man. I much prefer her rich beautiful voice to those high, squeeky ones. : ) She's great.
No No No Yazoo and Erasure is Projekt of Vincent and the still alive
Yazoo is Back with new Album and Erasure is Back with new Album and this year Vincent wil play again with Depeche Mode and Vincent brings Cyndie Lauper Back
Her voice is as good as it was when I first heard her back in 1982 when she was in the group Yazoo.. Her talent is underestimated. I don't know why is not in the limelight today.
Before Adele we had Alison.and her voice. She does not sound like a man. Here I sit listing to a song that is 25 years old and it still give me goose bumps.
@kinetic2013 This song is the child of an underated musical genius called VINCE CLARKE.Alison Moyet was merely part of Yazoo (Yaz in the USA).It was Vince Clarke who wrote, played and produced this epic.
@nighterjay By the way, Vince Clarke (real name Vince Martin) was a founder member of Depeche Mode........Alison was friends with the guys in Depeche Mode in the early 80's and all originate from Basildon Essex England.
@kinetic2013 I think it's actually thirty years old this year but it really only emphasises just what a good piece of music can do. Wonderful song and she always gives a good rendition. I wish you love, peace and well-being all your life.
@kinetic2013 ELO were described (I think by John) as "the sons of the Beatles" (I'm a HUGE fan of the 'existence' of Jeff Lynne). Because of your comment I can see myself, some time in the future, describing Adele as a "Daughter of Alison Moyet" :) With 100% due respect to ALL of the above artists of course.
@siggybrz : Philistine = someone regarded as being ignorant, uncultured, and indifferent or hostile to artistic and intellectual achievement. Get a dictionary. Also, Moyet is the original vocalist for this song when she fronted Yaz, so the joke's on you, loser.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@treeshakin ... Blah Blah Blah. She sucks my nuts and while shes at it you can lick me shaft also. Yes I can get a dictionary and she cant front for my asshole. So no there is no joke on me.
@siggybrz This is the original. Vince Clarke wrote it, Alison Moyet sang it. They are called Yazoo. A double "A" side of their first ever single it was first released in UK on 15 March 1982. She doesn't sound "like a man". Most men in pop sing in falsetto or top of a tenor range. Alison has a gorgeous contralto voice (heard more in classical and jazz music) rather than the shrieking that passes for most female pop vocalists. I hope I have educated you a little.
Tears just welled up in my eyes... To Ms Moyet: this was a wonderful remake of your ORIGINAL SONG from your days in Yazoo back in the 80s. Truly beautiful. Thanks for all the wonderful memories you've made in our hearts & minds through your voice and music. It's truly appreciated.
Funny people on this page are talking about Adele b/c I've been saying for ages that Adele looks JUST LIKE Alison! ;) Amazing singers must come from that mold. ;p
@J9Love2U right on...they all owe ms moyet...she is flawless! i always wanted alison and annie lennox to duet....what a hauntingly beautiful duet that would be! peace.
does anyone know where i can get the piano music for this version or the chords so i can work it - would love to be able to play it on piano and sing it as well - might record it if i can do it and post it on here
@TwelveBridges Perhaps, though i do like both them equally . Current version sounds smoothly with that piano in the background . The way she re-recorded this song is gorgeous ! instead of synths used over 20 years before
both Adele and Alison are very talented in their own, you cannot compare,
