Jeff Buckley brought me here . But i remember this version as a kid , She also knocked this song out of the park , what a voice and version of this song .
Elkie, probably the most underrated female vocalist ever, and not just in the UK, you know who it is when this Lady sings, what a voice, what a woman!!!
Always adored this beautiful, haunting song! I was 10 years old when it charted in 1978. That singular, gentle oboe on the courus still sends shivvers down my spine, as does the sparkling quality of Elkie's gorgeous voice. Weird thing is a grew up to be a Metal head & techno lover. Elkie had such elegance & class. Lovely memories!
She’s right up there as one of our best ladies , effortlessly talented, so cool , somehow makes every song she sings seems like she is the only one to record it 💋
Can’t believe only so few likes . Obviously don’t know how talented and how powerful beautiful her voice is just amazing always played this song over and over amazing lady and a Manchester girl ❤️🤗
I just got back from seeing Elkie live for the first time, I was prepared for a bit of wear and tear in her voice I WAS WRONG!!!!, she was absolutely, unbelievably, superb as was her band, if you get the chance you should try to get a ticket to see her during the rest of her tour.
One of the very few who can deliver a cover version a thousand miles ahead of the original. I saw her live in performance only a few years ago (I'm writing in 2021) and she was wonderful, completely technically excellent, but, most importantly, she delivered every emotional moment as she always, always, does.
Excellent quality I think! One of my favourite songs sung beautifully by a beautiful lady with, in my opinion, one of the greatest voices ever. She puts everything into this song but doesn't overdo it and holds those notes amazingly well. Thank you kindly for this!

Jeff Buckley brought me here . But i remember this version as a kid , She also knocked this song out of the park , what a voice and version of this song .
I didn't know this song existed until 2 weeks ago. It's absolutely amazing...what a voice!
Listen to Jeff Buckleys version 😢
Yes Elkie Brooks version is the BEST
Amazing, and she still sings fabulous voice ❤️
Elkie, probably the most underrated female vocalist ever, and not just in the UK, you know who it is when this Lady sings, what a voice, what a woman!!!
This isn't Elkie Brooks. It's Imelda May. Nevertheless, you're absolutely right about Elkie.
Could not agree more and she is beautiful
@@2222isabellaWTF . This IS Elkie Brooks .
@@Jake-jr2zh You`re absolutely right. My comment belongs to another video. No idea why it appears here. Shouldn't have happened. My apologies.
É verdade, uma das maiores cantoras de todos os tempos.
Elkie is one of the best singers this country has ever produced. This is my favourite song of hers. Total class.
In my opinion, the best.
Never got the recognition she deserved.
I keep returning to this every few months, it’s fab, I agree.
Ellie is the top of all singers
England?
Powerful and Classy.
Incredible. Timeless.

Almost 74 years old and this is the first time I've heard this song on 9*1*1. Absolutely moving. Elkie Brooks' voice is amazing.
Still makes my hair stand on end after all these years beautiful lady
One of my go to songs I belt out,when I'm confused like a newt,love it 🙀 take care all xxxx
Brilliant best song ever
This is my favourite song of all time xx
Amazing!
I'm 66 years old and haved loved this song forever ❤
Have you herd Jeff Buckley's version?
Elkie is an awesome singer. She needs more exposure, I think she is amazing.
Being 16at the time this is still my song,nicely done by Jeff Buckley but Elkie’s got it❤
2024 Always followed Elkie. Fabulous singer but even better live. I've been fortunate enough to see her live many times.
She is still gigging in 2025, go if you can!
She’s right up there as one of our best ladies , effortlessly talented, so cool , somehow makes every song she sings seems like she is the only one to record it 💋
The vibrato is amazing. Such control. Always been a favourite of mine.
What a marvellous performance she really is something so special
Puts all of today's "singers" well and truly in the shade....75 today and still hitting the notes....
Happy Birthday Elkie. 💝
👍👏👏👏❤️
Agreed, to much emphasis on visuals ,rather than the sound,listen to a well produced/recording and it's literally like stepping into another reality
Gorgeous and so talented
Ms.Brooks bringing a touch of class to Top of The Pops.
Outstanding performance by beautiful Ellie Brooks.
Really beautiful voice, my childhoods returns.
love this melancholic song very much. Thank you, Elkie!
what a gorgeous looking woman and a voice to match
Fabulous voice. Been fortunate to have seen Elkie 4 times live in concert.
Can’t believe only so few likes . Obviously don’t know how talented and how powerful beautiful her voice is just amazing always played this song over and over amazing lady and a Manchester girl ❤️🤗

Who did the original Phillip? Have heard quite a few covers but never the original, be interesting to compare them.

Netflix One Day rekindled a memory and brought me here....

Me too. Until One Day I had not properly listened to the lyrics.
Classic 🎉
A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice

Best version ever..
Songs like this make Ellie stand out from the rest
My favourite song, Pearls a Singer coming in a close 2nd
Love this song. 🌸🌺🌸
great great song love it so much love Elkie brooks
Excellent quality I think! One of my favourite songs sung beautifully by a beautiful lady with, in my opinion, one of the greatest voices ever. She puts everything into this song but doesn't overdo it and holds those notes amazingly well. Thank you kindly for this!
Bernard M If you like her version, try listening to Jeff Buckley’s version, if you haven’t already. His is the only one that comes close to this one.
The definitive lilac wine ❤
Wonderful. Evocative ❤
Adore this song and how Elkie performs it.
