Louise Tucker - Dancing By Moonlight

[WaltGekko]

Whoever has the rights to this and her other music should post it to MySpace to allow many more people to hear it there. As noted, this is music that could be hits now if it were released/re-released in the US given the state of music these days.

Замечательный голос.

[laurenwittleton]

She's my singing teacher now and it's weird to think she's famous. She's absolutely brilliant as a singer and a person. :D

[martywny]

@laurenwittleton - Wow, you actually get to work with such a talented person!

[WaltGekko]

@laurenwittleton So that's what she's been doing.

I actually stumbled onto a lot of this after not knowing for years who did the version of "Midnight Blue" that she and Charlie Skarbek did until happening to hear it as an extra on the Top 77 of all time on Rewound Radio this past New Year's morning. I suspect if that song, this one and others were re-released in 2012-'13, these would all do very well as it would be "new music" to the current generation.

Brilliant song. Brilliant singer.

[csilva292000]

Great song...thank you.

[58baza58]

Brilliant, does anyone know if she is still singing?

[jimraw1]

@58baza58 Louise Tucker can be found singing oratorios and other works in concert, often with her husband, opera singer Stephen Foulkes, often at churches and smaller venues. I don't know that she ever really enjoyed doing the pop music bit - she gave up her career as a pop recording star as much because she wanted to go back to opera and classical music.

@jimraw1 The fact that she chose to return away from this music is definitely our loss. I can't seem to get enough of her music. I've played Midnight Blue and Elizabethan Seranade so many times. Her voice is so incredibly clean and light. Sure wish she had produced more.

[WaltGekko]

@jimraw1 Interesting. She was simply WAY ahead of her time and had the misfortune of being caught up at a time of MAJOR changes in music tastes in the US when much of her work was done in 1982-'83 (thanks largely to the debut of WHTZ (Z100) and the slow flip of WPLJ (95.5) from Rock to Top 40 in the summer of 1983. As noted above, this and her other music would probably be much bigger now if it got re-released in the US.

Great song! I loved Midnight Blue as a kid and can appreciate an Artist like Louise Tucker now .

[Quigs1599]

I am too young to have enjoyed her when she first came out. Thanks BC, for posting this and allowing a 'younger generation' to appreciate real music from a true artist.

[BionicCommander89]

Thanks to you for listening =)

[itswagon]

What a beautiful voice and exceptional phrasing (I think it is called that).

[kinmanyuen]

lol Dutch?

[garaapje]

Is she Dutch??!! :O :D

[Quigs1599]

Dutch??...ummm, I don't think so. Louise Tucker (born 1956) is an English mezzo-soprano opera singer from Bristol, England.....

[vwestlife]

Thanks for posting this! After hearing the preview clip on Louise's web site, it's nice to hear the full song.

[BionicCommander89]

Thanks to you.
