I have to honestly say I was disappointed if not a tad underwhelmed with Dame Shirley's studio version of this fab Tom Baxer song. The live version is far superior, expressive.....

Typical Shirley delivering a fantastic version. Once again apologies for the audio being slightly out, however feel this does distract too much from the delivery!

Hi Folk's... sorry the audio is slightly out. Will try and upload a cleaner version

Absolutely breathtaking performance.

Watching this on BBC, earlier in the year, my youngest son commented that I'd stopped breathing, I was staring at the TV, and there were tears running down my cheeks.

Had me thinking of my late wife, and my son's mother.

Soppy, I know.

I know Tom, I've seen him live many times, and I, hand on heart, have to say Tom Baxter is one of the best live performers I've ever seen. I was so pissed off when I saw that Shirley was singing it, not because it's Shirley because she is an icon, but because it's one of my favourite songs but take a second to look at Tom's face, sheer pride, quite rightly. Beautiful song.

We already know Shirley has a powerful and strong voice but when there is a live audience in front of her it's like the adrenline is going and she's in the moment and her vocals just soars. I always wanted to hear her live because there is just something about a song from one of her albums that you can't get as you do when you see and hear a live performance from her.

I hope she continues to sing this song in her future live concerts too because I love it alot!!

So much better than the album, but then again, she is always better live. I think the actual band and the electricity of the crowd fuels her passions, hence the delivery is often staggering. Makes Kylie look like a realy budgie.

hear the music alone----perfect!!! see her perform with all the emotions----the best!!! just perfect talent. i love you mam, for me your the best!
