I heard this song on Miami Vice back in the eighties and thought it was amazing. I have since been looking for the song, thinking it was a male vocalist. Saturday afternoon I'm watching Miami Vice reruns and the scene with this song plays. My wife says "oh, that's Joan Armatrading". I cannot find the song on any of her albums. Anyone have a clue? And by the way, music (talent) like this cannot be diminished by inadequate sound.

Hi, This song is on "Willow- Joan Armatrading Collection" which is still on sale at Amazon UK, so I imagine also in other countries.

Also on "Secret Secrets Album.

It is also on iTunes

How is it possible for such a wonderful talent as Joan Armatrading to have such a crappy sound system and keyboard? Ruined the whole performance for me.

I was at this live performance at NEC, and the sound was good for such a large venue. The BBC recorded the show, which was recorded by me on VHS tape, then from VHS to Camcorder, then on to computer to convert to a suitable format for Youtube. Then of course, how good is the amp and speakers on your listening system.

I love you all. God bless you all!

@jhstudio64 Yes, definitely on the Secret Secrets album from the 80's, and the Willow - Joan Armatrading Collection is the best bet nowadays. Last week (Nov '11) this song was attempted on guitar at a local amateur open mic night in a wine bar in Northampton (the recording is on our channel). Obviously, Love By You sounds a lot better with piano, and with Joan! Thank you so much for putting this original NEC live recording up.

This song takes me back to a time in my life, yes, in the late '80s, that was very painful, but the memory of Joan's music then, and hearing it again now, makes it beautiful.

@13Esmarelda I love this woman. Your right about her singing. I would love to see her in person. I have tried to find her tour page but haven't yet.

If you do one thing in this life, let Joan Armatrading seep into your heart and soul. Her music is just the most incredible jewels of pure universal beauty that you will ever hear. There is a song for every moment, every emotion and you can use them to help you smile or to cry. I first found this lady when I was 16 and at 42 my love of her music has not diminished. Every concert I have been to see her in, she sat patiently and signed everyones items who waited and there were some long queues!

For me this is one of the most emotional Miami Vice moments I can remember, too. Another one is Larry Zito being found dead in the shower musically accompanied by Steve Winwoods "There's A River". Even decades later those moments are so clear in my mind. Miami Vice truly was the first TV Show promoting amazing songs I never had heard before at that time but still are important parts of my music collection nowadays.
