Scritti Politti - 'The Sweetest Girl' live 2007

Recorded at the Luminaire, a small club in Kilburn, in December 2007. They turned it into a Christmas party, with mince pies and a 'pass the parcel'. Even without the studio production values, Green has a unique voice and a genius for combining soul and melody. I also filmed them playing a song called 'Merry Christmas Baby' but that one needs a bit of editing as Green took about five minutes to tune up.

Ditto! And no worries on the editing - I, personally, wouldn't mind watching Green spend five minutes tuning up! :-)

Thanks for sharing! Can't get enough Scritti!!

@oldsynth This is BRILLIANT!!!!! The voice is the same even though voice gets deeper with age! Amazing!Speaking of beard,er.... where do I start? Can I give you a makeover Green????!!!! Pretty plz?!!!

I mean, come on, could u be more of a turn-off? Disgusting beard, shitty hat, lumberjack shirt!!!! You going moose hunting or what?!

You're not only very talented, but still very good looking under all that crap. Let me help.

Ps: I love Madness's version, but NOTHING beats the original.
