Polly Brown - I Can't Go On Living Without You 1973 HD Rare

This PB rarity was penned by Elton John & Bernie Taupin. An obscure but very nice pop record from 1973. Polly always sounds like a cross between Dionne Warwick & Jean Terrell (of the 70s Supremes). The video shows Polly in some of her various incarnations.

One of the great white soul vocalists of the 1970s. What a wondrous decade for SOUL music.

In retrospect...a popular song otherwise quickly dismissed by the songwriters themselves.

Polly's recording was released on 15 June 1973 on the PYE label.

In addition, four years previously; the song was covered by Stewart A. Brown and released 21 March 1969 on the RCA label.

Stu Brown (if you recall) was the former lead singer of Bluesology, along with Reg Dwight.

You have done a fine job capturing the essence of Polly Brown.  She has always deserved more recognition.

I remember everything from the 70s (nothing from yesterday), but I don't remember Polly. She does sound a lot like Dionne.
