[katoa1000]

[Jackie1957able]

Amazing singer !!!

[JJRamirodafonseca]

Magic voice !

[Mishulyna]

Janis Joplin, "the Pearl"....

[adminelf]

Come on Salford!

[gooseygoo001]

IM named after this song :) ow yea

[bobby7771117]

Now I know why Cat Stevens had her sing with him on his 1977 album Izitso on the awesome song:"Remember The days of The Old Schoolyard." Cat Stevens had great taste to choose her! BobbyK

[wwfww]

@babywoo1973 lol, i'll tell u what... maybe when i registered i wasn't 18, so as an immature kid, i said i was 50 years old so that i could watch whatever i fuckin wanted to. OH, or maybe u're right, i'm trying to get abs at this age so that i can feel young and attract women. i'll let u decide! (and share your thoughts with me please, cause i'm dying to know what is going on in your head)

[666thesnowman]

this is one of my fave all time tunes i do this at kareoke not a patch on peg but i love it classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[garyw930]

May I recommend the book 'An Essential Guide To Music In The 1970s' by Johnny Zero. The author is a big fan of this track.

[RenosEMR]

Amazing song

[wwfww]

pearl's a prostitute, she stands up when she sucks my penis!

[dizzi0000]

@wwfww Your age says 51. Your comment says your age is 5. lol

[wwfww]

@dizzi0000 2 things are for sure:

1- i'm not 51;

2- and i'm not a german;

[dizzi0000]

@wwfww 1 thingsfor sure

1. you are NOW 52 and you are still an idiot.

Who said anything about GERMAN ??

[wwfww]

@dizzi0000 I think my channel says that i was born in germany... but now that i think about it i'm not really sure...

Either way, i am NOT 52! (and i'm not an idiot!)

[wendy5152]

[Eamonn20a]

@SuperCMpaul Great singer , great song.

[stevielish]

elkie was and still is the best singer britain ever produced .and this is the best song

[TheMusbeat]

My FAVORITE SONG !!!!

[WuffWuffOhFlashy]

Outstanding range and modulation. Almost good enought to sing opera!

[anglianchannel]

she sound like rod stewart chewing a cat

[zinesilol88]

@anglianchannel Rod Stewart can NOT sing to save his life. Elkie Brooks has a FAR superior voice. You MUST be tone deaf.

[england2k7xxx]

@zinesilol88 Rod stewarts awesome :O

[Eamonn20a]

@england2k7xxx Everyone has their own taste, I think he is crap. My opinion. Elkie is the best female singer from the U.K.

[gunslingingmadness]

:45

classy

[hashbubbles]

Love this song... got it on a CD free in a paper.. and played it non-stop..

[starquant]

Great track, great Lyrics and a Fabulous woman. Thank you for posting.... The Ultimate Blues track. How can I teach my kids without these GREATS... Thanks again :).

[zandermince]

@starquant i was born in 1980, and i love all the great songs from the past decades, and agree with you, how can we teach the young folk without these goo people posting

[ianisme]

Not just a song; it's a total performance. Years after first hearing this I still love it.

[nerdflanders8710]

if it's about Janis joplin she stands up when she pees.

[BigBubbleGoesPop]

Me and my family howl this at the top of our lungs <3 :D

[DoctorStealthy]

Elkies voice and this song, just reduced me to tears..

[welovehector]

hey... my names pearl i sing and play piano :)

[nenadm1]

Odličan vokal.



[popazz1]

Seen her in concert 3 times,1st time way back in 1978,when I was a kid of 18.She was stunning then & she remains simply superbly stunningly great! She doesn't 'do' great displays,she just entertains with her magnificant vocals,dotted here & there with her deliciously witty banter.Hell,I'd turn str8 for her,lol.BRAVO,Elkie,long may you continue to bring us joy.

[Eamonn20a]

@popazz1 Totally agree. You don't need a big production, if you have a great voice like Elkie .

[popazz1]

@Eamonn20a ,

Yup,thanx for that.You got it spot on,no frills,no fanfare,no 'lights-display',as such,just Elkie,centre stage & her magnificant vocals!

[pearlthegirl]

i kinda know she's talking about me

[djlal60]

Wow i heard this song a thew months ago.... never knew what it was till i did some asking about...im so glad i found it on here...love it ....great voice and love the lyircs...... :)

[Eamonn20a]

@djlal60 In my opinion Elkie is the best female singer from the U.K.

[iBurnsey01]

my dear friend helen sings this better

[zinesilol88]

@iBurnsey01 You are obviously very deaf. or have really BAD taste. Elkie Brooks is the best singer from the U.K.

[MsMimilala]

I sang this last night at the anglers, best song I've ever done so far.

[MrSeanodwyer140]

Okay ahh take back what Ahh/ I thought off the Poms.

[zinesilol88]

Just bought her last c.d. "Powerless" it is amazing.

[fustyans]

She makes me proud to be British......

[zinesilol88]

[henrypeckstv]

[dominicwebb]

Kept me alive thirty years ago. I was on my arse and this picked me up, then I had a life which is now coming to an end but Elkie kept me going this long. Thanks, Elkie.

[Nekkers1]

I thought this song was once sung by Janis Joplin? Am I wrong?

[Eamonn20a]

@Nekkers1 Wrong, this is Elkie's hit.

[johnruth53]

@01Moodies absoluut ook mooie stem maar of ik luister naar de verkeerde nrs maar ik vind dat elkie s stem wat heftiger klinkt

[Eamonn20a]

[Glenn1967ful]

Lovely singer and a great girl

[gruad999]

Love the stilted backing track that sounds like chintzy backdrop to some seedy club -but then the band kick up a gear and show they really can do it!

[glyn001]

Fabulous unusual voice. Lot of power there.

[fuckuuto]

The greatest singer ever!

Thanks Elkie!

[d1groovy2]

She is still brilliant and this IS A CLASSIC.

[crossLimbos]

[zinesilol88]

@nenelitos Hello ooo what PLANET are you from. Elkie has a new album out "Powerless" and is touring the U.K.

[bikelmike]

what a beautiful song comes direct from the heart - love it

[lovenlife2000]

Thank you

[ukgolfa]

Salford's finest...with the possible exception of Mike Sweeney and the Salford Jets..

(I have to say that, he sent the lads with pick-axe handles after Kiki Dee's bodyguards on his show on Piccadilly 261 one day..)

But I digress; she's still around, and him and the lads are still probably sitting drunk in the 'Peveril of the Peak'

But Elkie is rather good, don't you think..?

[dizzi0000]

Best female singer from the U.K.

[nicophobia]

@dizzi0000 The 2nd actually, you forgot Dusty Springfield. How?

[RUTHWEB98]

not to bad

[49wingrider]

nice, thanks Ruth

[polmaccaba]

fuck off..pathos?? this is life, this is life sung, and it sounds ok 2 me....

[BarrySingsSwing]

Elkie's slightly husky voice certainly adds something special to this song; so sensitively sung, so full of pathos.

[billycfclub7962]

my sister is briliant at singing this great song

[beefmageditor]

What a FANTASTIC VOICE this chick has. Wow.

[dizzi0000]

I agree Elkie has a fantastic voice. P.S. love your pics...

[shalcass]

perfect brilliant song

[fyun16]

I have such lovely memories of this song! My dad used to play it in his car when i was little. Pure class!! Her voice is amazing, wish there were more artists like her these days!

Total legend!!

[KatrinaLove]

love it

[VeniVidi]

Marvellous.

Thanks, dedo andro.

[fluffypechey]

Thanks for sharing I love this song and am singing along out loud!

[luvtoact08]

kwl

[XxXxMissPaigeGeeXxXx]

love this songg :) xxx

[edmundo172]

Best female singer to come out of the U.K.

[ukgolfa]

...you need to investigate Dusty Springfield, my friend...

Cheers mate.

[fiona1580]

I agree with Edmundo.Yes, Dusty has a lovely voice, but ELKIE has that rock sound that not many female singers have.

[cathst]

what a a lovely, emotive song .. it draws you deep in !!!

[11thwund]

Och...so beautiful!
