This brings back back so many good memories and I can't seem to get this track out of my head, biggest crush ever! Deeply saddened to read about Susan leaving I swear there is a star in heaven with her name on it. Jules
@1bazmooster ..Anybody out there interested, live video footage of Susan's 3 singles have been put on YouTube, coutesy of WJMTV. Also, there are some "B" sides, put on coutesy of andrewt63.
i know Kay who`s playing the guitar she actually wrote this song she havent seen her for a couple o years but she was living in Castleford, West Yorks. She Still had that suit she`s wearing in her wordrobe I had a video of when they were on Cheggers plays pop but cant seem to find it
Wright is beneath contempt. The BBC should be abolished simply for using our licence fee to employ buffons like Wright, Evans & that retired fake chummy one with the wig whose popularity proves there is something deeply wrong with the populace of these islands.
I heard this on R2 today for the first time in years. This is such a good song, I thought so at the time. I can't imagine why I didn't buy it. It's difficult to understand how someone as talented as Susan Fassbender could take her own life. But we all know life itself can throw some devastating blows at us, unseen by others. RIP and thankyou Susan F.
The voice over was tha DJ twat Steve Wright, he commented that she looked like a doctor's receptionist. I wish I could slap that prat for such a dumb comment.
Susan was a unique person who stood out in a bland musical world. R.I.P. ;-)
Ha Ha, Steve! Ur logon name reminds me that there was an urban legend at the time about "Susan Fassbender" being a spooner for "Fasten Suspender", mind you from this vid it doesnt look like Susan would have been interested in boys...lol!!!!

Excellent, first time I've seen this particular clip. Pity they had to fade it out towards the end, though

It's such a fun, evocative song. I like the music as much as the singing - such a masterpiece.

After first listening to this on the Ken Bruce show on BBC Radio 2 and now finding it on Spotify, I can't stop listening to it. A timeless clasic.

Fassbender retired from the music industry to marry and raise three daughters. She commited suicide in 1992, aged 32, by hanging herself.

Yep. It is unfortunate that Steve Wright doesn't even begin to comprehend what an incredible idiot he is.
