This session has to be the best version of this song ever...and what a backing group she has there. Just awesome. Today's excuses for artistes don't deserve to share the same stage as Elkie.
Stevie Jones is on Sax...not only very talented, but a great guy...check Elkie out live as she tours the country..her voice just gets better and better...fantastic band as well...you won't regret buying a ticket...:-)
These guys do something really really really really special here. Its a special synergy I think some bands only hit on special songs. You can see when that guy does his briliant rockin sax solo, the whole crew is into it and it dont get much better than that. Brilliant start, middle and delightful pianist end. Wow
She gets much better with age. Loved her original studio version. This blows it away, then again most live performances do. Lucky me, I got to see her a couple of times in 75-76 Lancs. Going back in two years, hope Elkie is still doin her thing!
This version of this song is what sold me. But trying to find her music to purchase in the U.S. is like finding a needle in a haystack. In the version I was able to get my hands on, she had to stop to take a drink of water. Kind of bummed me out but "Lilac Wine" kind of made up for it.
Winehouse, Allen and all the other of today's crap computer assisted singers should be strapped in chairs and made to listen to what a real singer sounds like. Great Elkie.
This is really great stuff!!!! Love it.

Oh my!
Elkie's been a big favorite of mine ever since I first heard her w. Vinegar Joe.
She's still got that big emotional voice - even cultivated it further.
Stellar band too! Sarah Jory is certainly one the best steelers I've ever heard - Technique, Timing and most of all: Taste!!!
