Singers were damned if they do damned if they don't. If they sing to the recorded track, kids whine about it being "lipsynched". If they sing live it's "not like the record". Can't have it both ways in the 70s, folks!! Damn
@IrisMG well you can actually, just don't put anything on a recording that your not capable of reproducing accurately live!, I still remember fuming when back in the 80's Pete Waterman moaned about the Top Of The Pops policy at the time that required all singers to perform live. His response was 'why should I let my acts sound bad by having to perform live' now to me thats an admission of jiggery-pokery , otherwise why should they sound bad?
Freda's a beautiful woman,can sing and is a great example to me in her performing ability.She makes a little mistake near the end,but I love it!...and what a well written song!
I haven't heard this song in 30 years...and never would have remembered it if I didn't happen upon this video by accident...and now I am going to go and download it!
I've always liked the singing of Freda payne when I was a little girl. I was 9 when this came out and I remember singing this song at the top of my lungs at our local playground talent contest. I also sang "Band of Gold". I used to think she was one pretty and talented lady.
Wow, what a woman, what a singer!

@hedgehopperray To change that would require time travel. It was what it was.
