[Ivanbelastegui]

Sensitive performance of a glorious melody. Very intimate and moving. thanks for posting

From 2:55 into this... just the richness of the vocals.. it makes all the hairs on the back of yr neck stand up. Exceptional!! One of THE great singers.

Hello BD fans - For years now, and I mean years I've been trying to get hold of her singing "no milk today" by Graham Gouldman ( a hit for Herman's Hermits). I heard her sing it once on the radio and just cannot find hide nor hair of t anywhere. Any ideas anyone?

[comingaliveagain]

You can find it on her cd, "After Dark" - which is a live concert album from the 1980's

[trossachs2003]

thank you very much - I will search it out

Barbara couldn't play in Hyde Park as she was performing in Scotland at a folk festival... she'd have been great though in London... would wipe the floor with Elaine and Lulu!!

But I kinda like hearing her sing the head off Ms. Paige!! Anyway, I would be annoyed if they didn't ask her, since she sings Abba better than anyone else on the list.

Is it true that Barbara hasn't been asked to sing at the Hyde Park Abba Tribute? She must be the best interpretor of their songs and has always chosen the best. So lesser artists like Lulu, Elaine Paige etc; are doing it. Surely a grave oversight

[rightmoment]

She will have been asked. Probably didn't want to do it. Why should she reinforce the public misconception that she's a MOR relic living of past glories - when the reality is that she's a fantastic creative musician making some of the best music of her career NOW.

Kenrew,

Another great one, from what must surely be Barbara's best ever Tour with the best set list ever.

I agree with Highland widow

[comingaliveagain]

Stunning. This is just exceptional. So simple. So effective. How many singers would even attempt this? Very few singers have the talent to put in such a performance. Very moving song.

[HighlandWidow]

This woman is sheer class. THIS is what Barbara does best. Given free reign from record companies demanding commercial albums she is now producing the best work of her career. Compare her with other female singers of her generation (and most have fallen by the wayside) ... I can't think of another British singer (with the exception of Kiki Dee) who continues to push herself in new musical directions, rather than be content to live out on past glories. Elkie, Shirley and co. - watch and learn.

A pleasure to listen to.

Keep up the good work.
