You come up with some great stuff, Jack. Nice choice this week.

Thanks. This song, and the whole later album "The Shouting Stage," will always haunt me (in a good way).

Yes, thanks Jack. Joan is a great talent - tender, tough, always heartfelt - and this wonderful tune and performance is one of my favorites, both then and now.

Thanks, Jack.
I saw her perform this live in the 70s. Had a crappy seat but her singing this made up for it big time.
I bought the album right after seeing a trailer version of this song on the screen at Cinema 21 back in the summer of '77.
I think this is a seminal work and probably paved the way for Sade and a number of other women artists.
