Linda Lewis - I'd be surprisingly good for you 1979

[kaiserinsissi1898]

I would murder any director who did a version like this in the musical... But on its own out of context IT'S AMAZING! :D

[channelcambridge]

i love this song...jimmy savile presents r.i.p

[rees276]

she has a great voice but this is AWFUL!!!

[TheThreerotteneggs]

This is supposed to be a seductive song... but she sang still it's like an S & M version with leather and whips.

[xxpiggystardustxx]

linda sang backing vocals on bowies alladin sane album

[Kumtekmeon]

This was really a SOLID performance.

[CrazyNatalia936]

Finally! I love this because it's just the singing part that I like. No "Colonel Peron?"

"Eva- Duarte?" *fake rrrroll of RRRR's* No, I love her now. Lovelovelove.

[rialgo2003]

what a great voice ...i didn´t know her...thanks a lot

[squirell1952]

IS SHE STILL IN SHOWBIZ? IS SHE MARRIED WITH TEN KIDS AND A HUNDRED GRANDKIDS? DOES SHE SIT IN THE CORNER, KNITTING FOR HER OFFSPRING? SHE REALLY SHOULD BE IN SHOWBIZ. JUNE 26, 2011.

[AcuteAngelito]

Awesome! Something wicked about this version that's surprisingly good!!!

[alpinefinland49]

sounds like another Mike Batt production. Why wasnt it a hit? Lots of competition in 1979 though, some great music about

[Enerjee]

I remember her performing this on a youth show for school leavers looking for work and college opportunities in 1979 which she also presented with a good-looking Cockney guy. I think it was probably live and her performance didn't come over too well - it was quite strained. Maybe that's why it didn't sell.

[BillMCA]

Great song, great performance and superb vocal

[fannycraddock99]

Such a great song. Should have been a massive hit!

[MattBlueBirds]

brill song

[Multi1628]

Thank you for posting this classic Linda Lewis track - Check Evita by Festival LP as well, and Linda's "It's Good," from The Stud soundtrack. PEACE... DAVEDJ 

[Jolie028]

GREAT!

[Grensoorlog]

She's gorgeous

[MrJakko22]

Donald Duck's version is better than Madonna's

[rowley1950]

@MrJakko22 Great reply - one of the funniest I heard yet, well done!! Can I pinch it and use it on all the other crappy stuff on youtube?

[hoppinhowler]

This is the first time ive heard this version! Its surprisingly waaaay better than Madonna's version...Love it!

[rochellelover]

I've always loved this song. This is my favourite version and Linda was so beautiful. I can't believe it only got to No 40 in the UK.

[iLuvPhantom15]

ew. elaine paige is soooooo much better. 

[ibehollymarie]

I think I like this version better than Madonna's. It's more upbeat, and it's fun to listen to. :P

[babe031468]

the audience is the most retarded I have ever seen live.

[nomadawn]

Love this song - this is far the best version and Linda Lewis is much underrated!

[poppys309]

love it. xxxxxxxx

[filthygorgeous86]

where can i find the mp3 for this???

[OasisEnLaLunna]

It's retarded...the song is on iTunes BUT...you have to buy the entire Andrew Lloyd Weber collection to get it. They obviously know how many people want this amazing cover of Evita.

[octrosie20]

Looked for this for ages - thanks.

[criscoxxx]

I have the Italian disco mix of Evita. Shiley Bassey watch out!

[dismith]

PLEASE POST IT!

[anthoniie92]

lov it!

[jeremyjr48]

I hadn't heard this version for thirty years !

Thanks for posting it. Great version !!

[actonmr]

Love this version, but the audience seem so staid. They should have offered them a round.

[jewishprincess08]

she has a good voice but hate the song being fast i prefer it as a ballad in evita!

[antoinemonot]

This song is surprisingly good for me!

[43763248967029357432]

@antoinemonot Yes indeed!

[crawfordlives]

I've had this single in my record collection since 1979, and when I get all my friends together and we have a 'singles party' ie 45s not as in people, everyone screams with joy! I love this version of this song, better than the musical...

[iriear]

Linda is England's best kept secret.

[steps1]

This reminds me of when i was pregnant with my twins.

Happy times,,

Dot

[DistantCousin]

Heard this for the first time the other day on Radio 2 - LOVE IT! Big Evita fan and this is a great version!!

[Jupiter205]

Oh the wonder of Popmaster lol

[ralpius]

Fabulous, absolutely fabulous. One of the greatest and most underestimated popular singers that this country's produced.

(I'm a bit of a fan y'know).

[TheBeltane]

This was a single in it's own right. Reached the Top 40 in the UK in 1979. Linda is an excellent artist.... her self-penned early work is some of the best I've heard. Check out Reach for the Truth cd. x x

[kazxena]

Whoa wasn't this on the flip side of "its in his kiss". Thanks for the memories

[Multi1628]

@kazxena "Walk About" is the 'B' side I have of "It's In His Kiss," & "Best Days of My Life" is the 'B' side I have of this "I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You" classic track - hope this is helpful - DAVEDJ

[kazxena]

@Multi1628 thanks
