Al Stewart - Lori, Don't Go Right Now

Simply, one of the most beautiful pop songs of all time: I googled the words "sad girl" to find pics for this video. Hope you like it. This is the first track of Al's "Russians and Americans" album from 1984.

First, thank you all for your kind comments and I gotta say I have another favorite from this album: "Rumours of War". What'd you comment on that one?

There are so many great Al Stewart songs I wish I could find more albums other than year of the cat.

@davidatheist I am also looking for a song Gerry Rafferty released around 1991, it's the style of Baker Street without the famous saxo alto

What kind of keyboard are they using.? Sounds great. Al has never been one to let his sound get old and its no different here.

[hammertoejoe]

@daddyb60056 yeah the keyboard sound is not the best, but the melody line is unique

I've listened to Stewart on/off thru the years and just heard this for the 1st time..What a pretty and great words/music..Really under rated artist..jm

Tks for this song, one of my forever favorites !!! Love Al, he always is on my mind. Please, anybody knows that he´s on the road, o singing alive? Im from Spain, let me know. Tks.

Loved Time Passages and Year of the Cat ...... this song is written by Al in conjunction with his regular partner Peter White. Released as a single in the UK in 1984 but sadly, in spite of decent airplay, failed to chart. Nonetheless a superb song that deserved to be a hit. Well done Al and many thanks to hammertoejoe for an excellent video!!

davidatheist, the Gerry Rafferty song could be Don't Speak Of My Heart from the album On A Wing & A Prayer, a far better song than Baker St

Music penetrates and resonates in perfect unison with ones soul

Re: daddyb's comment about the keyboard sound. I agree, but it's the sound he used throughout Russians and Americans. Not the best, but I chalk it up to the 80's.

It's still a very nice song. For another lesser known gem, check out "Sampan" from the "Between the Wars" album. And of course, "End of the Day" from Time Passages.

This wasn't on the original LP. It first appeared when Russians And Americans was released on CD. It's an awesome song. Peter White was still playing with Stewart at the time.
