The lyrics form an extremely relatable monologue that sounds like something someone would really say. Take That Look Off Your Face', screams 'musical theatre but is a piece of pop magic!
This song is in fact from a musical! Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and included in one of his stage musical plays. A brilliant pop song in its own right and a big hit single for Marti.
I was ten when this came out. Although I got into metal,I always have had a major soft spot for strong 70s/80s female vocalists. Its everything about them from the stellar singing to their look and sometimes melancholy sometimes world weary vibe. Was searching Elkie Brooks songs when this one popped up. Sublime
I never really appreciated this song untill I heard it by chance in 2020, I remembered it from long ago and googled it , and .....wow.....how did I not recognise what a masterpiece it is , the lyrics, music and singer , all brilliant,
Sadly, I miss the 70's-80's big time, but that is because I am now 70, yet I feel 20-30, which I was back then. Life is greater now since getting clean and sober.
what a great song what a beautiful voice. I never get tired to listen to this song. the message. after so manny years in august 2024 from the netherlands
I've been playing this too death, and even have Don Black's amazing lyrics. I'm from Vermont, America, and flew over the Netherlands (wanting to visit) en route to Israel. I met a number of Dutch in Israel who were volunteering along with me, and they all had a wonderful spirit about them for the Jewish people.
The absolute best version of this song. Never knew who sang it, but now I do. This voice sings my favourite version of “Tell me on a Sunday” too. Now I know the name and face of the singer. Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
SA in 1980... Kate Bush with Babooshka, Janis Ian sang Fly Too High, Marti Webb and Take That Look Off Your Face... ABBA was still on the airwaves singing Dancing Queen, and schoolchildren like myself were singing Pink Floyd's We Don't Need No Education in secret because the album had been banned here... (or maybe it was just banned by my school?) Chris de Burgh was on The Spanish Train, Joy sang the haunting Paradise Road... Ballyhoo was about to come out with Man On the Moon, and in 2 years time I would hear Depeche Mode for the first time, and life would never be the same again...
To be honest I've never been a big fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber but this is a great bit of music! I supposed it's helped by Marti Webb's unique terrific voice.
isn't it wonderful to be omniscient!as good as elaine paige and Barbara Dickson are,not in the league as marti. its as if marti experienced it,and good as the others are,they,re just doing a cover version.
"Take That Look Off Your Face" is the title of a hit song by musical theatre composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Collaborating with lyricist Don Black, it was written for the song cycle show Tell Me on a Sunday in 1978. It was sung and released by Marti Webb in 1980, and became a No.3 hit in the UK charts. The song was also popular in Ireland, and spent six weeks at number one. Later, Tell Me on a Sunday was combined with another Lloyd Webber work, Variations, to form an entire new show, Song and Dance.
You must be mistaken It couldn't have been You couldn't have seen him yesterday He's doing some deal up in Baltimore now I hate it, when he's away You must be mistaken I'm sure that you are There's more than one car with stickers on And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants And I'd know if he hadn't gone Take that look of your face (take that look of your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door Well, I've got news for you I knew before If I'm not mistaken, it started last year I'm not very clear how it began I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes As only a woman can No, I didn't dig deep (no, I didn't dig deep) I did not want to know (I did not want to know) Well, you don't interfere When you're scared of the things you might hear When he's back, you think I will end it right there and then? Well, my fair weather friend You're wrong again Take that look of your face (take that look of your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door Well, I've got news for you I knew before (Take that look of your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door Well, I've got news fo
I'm back in 1980... when music ruled.
Just watch the change in the expression in her eyes - magnificant!
Brilliant voice. Heard this for the first time as a child at singing class and her voice still gives me goosebumps.

Watched Marti sing this on the show at the West End, loved it! ❤

Back than when music was music, really love this song. So great
And perms were bad. 😆 I love her voice so much.
Love Marty Web. Great singer. Brilliant song. Very catchy.
Marti Webb what an amazing voice...... fantastic
Her understated performance fits the sentiment of the song. Less is more if you like. Class.
I never really appreciated this song untill I heard it by chance in 2020, I remembered it from long ago and googled it , and .....wow.....how did I not recognise what a masterpiece it is , the lyrics, music and singer , all brilliant,
Wonderful memories Marty Webb...nothing like this in 2024; long live the 70 - 80's...never to be repeated
Sadly, I miss the 70's-80's big time, but that is because I am now 70, yet I feel 20-30, which I was back then. Life is greater now since getting clean and sober.
Never been bettered. The best version….bar none.,
Bravo 👌👏

@@DenMore1 nice to hear. leuk om te horen.

Brilliant how marty can change her range so easily.
From the musical Tell Me On A Sunday by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
My late mother and me were fans of this
Beautiful tune
Wonderful classic ❤
Klasse Stimme !
The absolute best version of this song. Never knew who sang it, but now I do. This voice sings my favourite version of “Tell me on a Sunday” too. Now I know the name and face of the singer. Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
Tell me on a Sunday was originally written for Marti Webb. I agree, nobody else performs those songs like her.
The entire Tell Me on a Sunday album is full of great songs.
A truly excellent record.
Now that how you sing 👌❤️
Spent 4 weeks at #1 in South Africa in July 1980 and was the country's sixth-most-popular single of 1980.
Where can I find other facts about the South African charts?
That is great infomation
I love to hear stories about songs and their backstories
South Africans have great taste

Such a spellbinding song brilliantly performed
Ive been looking for this song since I lost the single 20 years ago.
I agree, this version is the best.
Beautiful song！❗❗
Fantastic voice
Now that's what I call talent she is sooooooooo good
She is! 😊 ❤x
Always felt this was the ABBA song that ABBA didn't write...😊.great voice and still working albeit a little less but she is 77 now..😊✌🇬🇧🌹
Some songs just stay with you and you have no idea why...
Guess there just great.
Thank you UA-cam algorithm to put this in my recommended vids. I forgot about this song, but I love it!
One of my guilty pleasures.
Seen her live in London in 80s. Wow!!
Greater singer Epic stage production,
Take that look off your face, I KNEW BEFORE!!!!
Blood marvellous at every level.
Very under rated singer.
Great voice.
Just heard on a Dutch pirate station on 1638 khz. Incredible unique voice

Smashing voice love it
Just perfect 👌🏻
Immaculate singer and song
my favorite version
she was a beauty
Just great.
One of my favorites
Just amazing
Best Oldie forever
Tremendous how she shifts gears from the verse to the chorus!
I like this song i remember it from the top 40
Not heard this in ages.
Some voice
Koi mil Gaya...mera Dil gaya from kuch kuch hota hai ...
Agree
Are you stupid? Take That Look Off Your Face - 1980, Koi mil Gaya - 1998
I never knew this song existed. She looks into the camera as she sings . . . like she's talking to me. Cool song, I'll remember her.
Great singing and storytelling. In her high notes sound she sounds as good as Cilla Black…
I first saw Marti sing this many years ago on the Royal Variety Performance. Never been another act as good since. Including Diana Ross.
The chorus to this song could be aimed at the BBC!
I can't get my boot on, can I borrow that shoe horn of yours?
Busted!
Seneng dengernya...
Boy can she sing !
Pretty girl and pretty voice!
Great 😉
Good music at home, I love this musical
Yep💜🧡👏👏👏👏👍👍

Still got the 45
To be honest I've never been a big fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber but this is a great bit of music! I supposed it's helped by Marti Webb's unique terrific voice.

O amigão tu tem o clipe do Michel Sullivan. cantando. international.o que eu tenho a qui não presta. o seus. vídeos e show de bola.

Elaine paigies U Ndwrstudy inEVITS INCREDIBLE VOICE
A Hindi movie copied this song and reproduced it with the title "Koi mil gaya". Even I grew up listening to that song 😂
But now we all know
Written by the brilliant Don Black, UK #3, 1980

You must be mistaken
It couldn't have been
You couldn't have seen him yesterday
He's doing some deal up in Baltimore now
I hate it, when he's away
You must be mistaken
I'm sure that you are
There's more than one car with stickers on
And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants
And I'd know if he hadn't gone
Take that look of your face (take that look of your face)
I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well, I've got news for you
I knew before
If I'm not mistaken, it started last year
I'm not very clear how it began
I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes
As only a woman can
No, I didn't dig deep (no, I didn't dig deep)
I did not want to know (I did not want to know)
Well, you don't interfere
When you're scared of the things you might hear
When he's back, you think I will end it right there and then?
Well, my fair weather friend
You're wrong again
Take that look of your face (take that look of your face)
I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well, I've got news for you
I knew before
(Take that look of your face)
I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well, I've got news fo
Bollywood copied this song and gave us Koi mil Gya
Sheffield lass
Mair Webb take the look of your faces
Koi Mil gaya
😂😂😂
Hindi version
If he's a cheater get rid of him I would.
Corduroy pants and bumper stickers? You’re well shot of him Marti..
Take that hook of your plaice anti fishing song
Take that look off your face.
