As an older man and occasional misogynist I find this song totally brilliant...and against my occasional better judgement a great testament to female perspective of many relationships. Also she is one of the best female talents ever. I occasionally frequented her cousins club in Manchester where, unfortunately, my marriage went awry ...but that's another story ...no hard feelings Chris Thompson if your still around ( I know that's a bit saddo )

Darn right, many USA divas need to listen & learn, beautifully controlled voice instead of their obsession with yelling & trying to impress by holding a note for silly lengths of time. As you rightly say, this is talent :)
Elkie is still alive and amazing. 80 next February 2025. So many many many happy returns. Thankyou for superb songs and memories still stirring emotions.
Elkie was doing this long before the screaching and screaming modern singers. Even now she shows them how to do it at theaters around the country. Every word heard and pronounced, perfect, articulate. No monotone nonsense.

Certainly in my top 3. I first heard this one on my car radio, drove straight to a record shop and purchased the vinyl, back in late 1970's I think it was.
I love this song. The lyrics summed up a time for me when I was treated very badly. Sometimes it's not just men who cheat on their partners. No more the fool.
It's also not just men that are violent neither as I found out to my cost. 46yrs and I've never hit a woman yet, thankfully thats still the same. So glad I had the strength to walk away
So underrated. Elkie Brooks, has an expansive career in the UK. I remember the first time I heard her voice, as a little kid in the 70's. Her vocals stopped me in my tracks.
Probably the best English female singer of all time and remember this is live ! Let us also remember the person who wrote this beautiful song, the great Russ Ballard, who wrote for Elkie and many other great artists of the 70/80s. The keyboards on this song are incredible and compliment Elkie’s powerful voice. Just classic. ❤
"Live" in the 80s only meant the artist was there not that they were singing live, they could be lip syncing which was the norm for TV performances at the time. Even the live TV show top of the pops the performers were lip syncing, though that was old news as it had been lip synced from the very first episode. Don't get me wrong she was a powerful singer, that can not be denied. Many artist did it on protest or they would not get the air play and TV promotion if they did not sadly.
I can't believe how unresponsive that audience was , to what in my mind was one of the greatest ever singing of a song , they just sat back and barely clapped at the end , but to me , they should have been on their feet and giving Elkie the recognition she never got , but fully deserved , but you see Madonna getting worshipped , maybe I' m just getting old , but in my eyes ,in Elkie you have one great singer
Back then a good singer was listened to. No squealing, whooping, showing yourself up and being a bloody nuisance. Man I miss those days. A live audience seems to be full of twats that just absolutely must throw something at the performers these days.
Managed to catch Elkie at The Sage, Gateshead a couple of years ago. Absolutely brilliant performance by a lovely and humble lady. At the beginning Elkie just walked on the stage, no long drawn out introduction, she just walked on to a standing ovation and greated her audience with a "thumbs up". Great night I will never forget. Thanks Elkie.
Remembering and missing these wonderful songs that meant so much to so many people. Beautifully sang by really talented singers. Now we get ten word lyrics repeated twenty plus times that try to pass as hit material but we know better, we've had the best times of music. Elkie, you are one of the true talents. Thanks.
After all these years I still love listening to Elkie sing her music always brings back many wonderful memories ❤️🌹👏 thankyou Elkie ⭐💥 for your incredible voice ⭐🌹❤️
Elkie Brooks, peels back the years to a better time when singers really sang songs people wanted to listen to, Good times golden days long gone now, But we were there
OMG .. totally NOTE PERFECT!!! She performed in Bridlington at the SPA and my ex went ... I missed it! What an amazing lady!! Grew up listening to her ... she is a GODDESS!! xx
If your going to sing, sing in tune. Tone, pace, power almost perfect...There are a few (only a few) that can hold an audience spell-bound, this is one of those performances.
Totally underrated and overlooked as a female artist
Only by you as we knew about her in the UK.
Really !!! UK born and bred and my opinion that she's been sadly overlooked by many

Why do i love this song so much 💔
I love this woman to the soles of her boots. She's amazing ❤
She is singing live here.
Kids take note. THIS is talent.
Was lucky enough to see her with my mum and sister 2 years ago. I was 34. She is by far the best person I have seen live.
A russ ballard song i think, and a good one

True
Yes, no studio manipulation here.
Elkie is still alive and amazing.
80 next February 2025.
So many many many happy returns.
Thankyou for superb songs and memories still stirring emotions.
Class!
Just brill as always

Magical
From the Heart ❤
Love this song. Played it when I decided I'd had enough of marriage and left. Thank you Elkie this song made up my mind.
CLass
Bless yo. Hope all is good for you now
Snap!
My word I forgot how good this is. Beautiful.
This powerful song helped me to escape a very toxic relationship. Thanks Elkie.
Keep strong ❤
Amazing Elkie Brooks !!! Yes underrated Talent ..
Younger generation take note 🎵🎶🎶
Without a doubt, the best British female artist of all time.
Totally agree
As I've already said elsewhere, I'm not so sure about that. I'd certainly put her on a par with Dusty Springfield and Shirley Bassey though.
Alisson Moyet is to Join this narrow club@@DavidAWheeler56
What a love song, the words! So true
shes great.
Beautiful voice ❤
She’s amazing
This song will never fail to both haunt and inspire.
A singer who played a very important part in my life after my marriage ended. I player her records endlessly. Sensational singer.
My mother, my birth mother, would listen to Elkie Brooks. Sunshine after the rain is just…..awesome. Merry Christmas 🎄
Mine also,Christine.x

Just seen her tonight, absolutely amazing concert, didn't sing this song but she was still fantastic
She's a brilliant artist.😊
Saw her last night at Shrewsbury, yes still fantastic even if she didn't sing this classic
Her greatest song by far. Absolutely spine tingling emotion. She put her soul into the lyrics.
O yes
Certainly in my top 3. I first heard this one on my car radio, drove straight to a record shop and purchased the vinyl, back in late 1970's I think it was.
She is amazing they should play it more on the radio ❤❤❤
Killer song.
Beautiful lady & singer .
What a voice?? So under rated!! A true star!
I second that thought a superstar underrated ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Seen her would make you wet your pants brilliant
Perfection 🥰💔
She's the real deal, I love her as did my late wife. There's no one better.
Brlliant !
I love this song. The lyrics summed up a time for me when I was treated very badly. Sometimes it's not just men who cheat on their partners. No more the fool.
I here you there fella.
I’m a woman. I know exactly what you’re saying.
It's also not just men that are violent neither as I found out to my cost. 46yrs and I've never hit a woman yet, thankfully thats still the same. So glad I had the strength to walk away
With you there mate, life is much better now i re married
Agreed ,
She LIVES the song !!!!
What a voice !! Fantastic!
omg what a voice
Fierce. One of the UK's most undervalued singers.
Remarkable vocalist... (Peggy Lee thought so too.) BRAVO!
So underrated. Elkie Brooks, has an expansive career in the UK. I remember the first time I heard her voice, as a little kid in the 70's. Her vocals stopped me in my tracks.
I only want to listen to her cxxxx
Wow masterpiece❤❤

I think this song never suited her at all
She can't sing it live

that's one lady who can sing live, nice one Elkie.
Legend!
Look up Vinegar Joe.
No more the fool for me NEVER
WOW. What a performance !
Absolutely love her she's amazing.x
Absolutely amazing,love to see Elkie 1 day,come to London please Elkie

I was just thinking the same thing. It's like they all took a Xanax before turning up!!

I need to go back to UK just to see my favourite British vocalist. Not seen her since 1976/77 Live and intimate. She is sensational.
Amazing as a singer and incredible woman and in her private life so polite and friendly.
Simply stunning, puts to shame so many of the current crop of singers
Great singer, one of our unfeted jewels.
