Happy Rhodes - How It Should Be

Happy Rhodes performing her song "How It Should Be". This song was never released in America. It only appeared on the European CDs of "Many Worlds Are Born Tonight".

Featuring Kevin Bartlett on guitar, Carl Adami on bass and Kelly Bird on vocals.

Videotaped at the Tin Angel in Philadelpha, PA with a Sony Hi8 camcorder. Sorry about the blown-out video on Happy's face - the camcorder only had an eyepiece viewfinder and I had no opportunity to get things adjusted correctly.

Great backup singer for Happy!

I think the album version is "calmer" because this sounds almost rushed without being rushed, but I definitely still love it.

Its pretty much me then, but  I do love this song so much, probably because its Happy in a different vein, 'cos I do love her music so much.

This has just stuck in my head all of the Christmas season. Picking up pieces of turkey, wrapping, hell all. I love this song!!

Just listened again to the studio audio version I got via xenussister - I think this live version is better - much more spirit to it.

thanks to Vickie for giving the ability to compare!!

This is another one of Happy Rhodes songs that I could see being a really big commercial hit, given the treatment. The song and the hook are first class.

I can almost imagine someone like the Sugababes doing a stonking version of this. Hope this isn't heresy, but I think Happy has a quality of songwriting that sometimes she is not the artist to fully best realise. In so much of her other work of course she and she alone makes the song.

This was 2 years before the song was recorded. We never did find out why the song wasn't released in America.
