Beautiful woman, lovely song, great voice. How sad it is when you find someone, and then discover they have died. Makes you think about how everything is so transitory, including ourselves.
I thought exactly the same I have loved her voice for decades and I just read the sad news she had passed away in 2010 I just cant believe It she will live in our Hearts for her talented gifts she shared with us
She was a jewel ahead of her time. Her mystical and spiritual knowledge. It was so deep and it conforms to most spiritual teachings. We read about scripture.❤
Thanks for posting this. Live footage of Lesley seems rare. I have been a fan since the 1970s when in my teens. Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. RIP Lesley.
Lovely singer songwriter, great tunes. Also backing singer for Dusty for years, see Dusty Springfield - Gonna Build A Mountain live from her 60s tv show. RIP Lesley and Dusty.
She reportedly suffered from serious stage fright and rarely performed live. You'd never know it watching and listening, as she sounds just perfectly angelic here.
She made herself known to me when I bought the Reading Festival '73 album, way back then. It's great that YT brings these imaginations to life. Sad she passed so young, but she's held in many hearts, as the comments show.
Amazing singer. And, as mentioned more than a few times in these comments, a beautiful woman, esp in that early 70’s “natural girl” sense. Plus: am I the only one who hears how much she and Natalie Merchant sound alike? Anyway, hearing “Love Song”, one of her greatest songs (duet with Elton John) and one of the best spiritual folk rock songs ever made me find this.
What a great performance. Keep coming back to this version, love the jazzy guitar intervals, just beautiful and captivating. A song of its time. The 70s produced a sound that was so cool.
Such a wonderful singer... she always has me in tears. Always play this when feeling low, but somehow it makes me feel good... maybe to let my feelings outxxxxxxx
Love the song, awesome voice. Guess that's why she did background vocals for the great Dusty Springfield. I will definitely check out more of her music.
She never really got the credit her songs and singing talent deserved, and with EVERYTHING CHANGES still unavailable on cd 40 years after its release it would seem the injustice continues after she has left us .
Her music has been reissued in a 2-part set. Her first 2 albums in 1 set, next 3 albums in a second set...and both have additional unreleased songs. Get them before they go out of print.
i think shes uk"s karen carpenter..no others seem so personal like a family member..been a fan since childhood as my mum played these records (sing children sing ect) love does have power but this about the days they thought it would change the world,,and it did,but only so far..rip lesley
I heard Elton's version of "Love Song" on the radio one day. I got "Tumbleweed Connection" for Christmas past. Great Album! Didn't know Love Song was on it. AWESOME! Did some digging, and found Lesley. Never turned back! What a great voice. Shame she passed too soon.
All my friends are travelers, we don't often get to meet But I know they're out there somewhere, and the knowin' Keeps me sweet. Now some go out in limousines, and some leave On their feet And I never really feel as if they're gone No I never really feel as if they're gone. Amanda's like my sister, and she's out there in L.A. But the wings of love fly straight and true, So we keep in touch that way, Now there's other friends less sensitive, I guess they'll Use the phone someday And we watch the wheels of life keep spinning on Yes we watch the wheels of life keep spinning on. Now the chain of love keeps growing And the world keeps getting small And soon there won't be room enough to separate us all When the voice of love grows strong enough It could break down any wall And you'll hear it call, you'll hear it call. Now sometimes when I look ahead I could cry at what I see Some say it's an easy road but it never was for me The damage is not half undone and we've all Got dues to pay But we get the help we need along the way Yes the light keeps growing stronger every day.
if my memory serves over the 30 years since i last saw this , elton john sang backing vocals at some time during this session , can`t remember on what song
I've been singing Lesley's songs since my brother introduced me to "Fine Friends" in the 70s. Does anyone know if there's a live rendition of that song anywhere?
Actually I don't ever see the piano player's face. The organ player does look like Andy Bown. That should be Chris Spedding on guitar. I assume piano is Jimmy Horowitz (her then husband). Can pinpoint bassist or drummer though.

I heard her "Love Song" on the radio when I was 22 in the army, and it helped form my perspective on life. Thank you Lesley Anne! 😇🌹

So very beautiful: wonderful song, wonderful singer. She needs to be rediscovered by a wider audience.
Just watching singer songwriters on BBC4 (UK) I like this. talented lady. I'm 47 and still discovering music
N o fake faces no lip sync just pure talent and beauty so sad she is not still with us
this is what i call a voice...Nothing flashy, Nothing powerful...but A voice !
She sang beautifully for The Alan Parsons Project in the hit 'If I Could Change Your Mind'
her best effort, of many great ones. I think it best demonstrated her great range and subtlety.
Can't stop watching this video...Great track by a wonderful singer..
God, she's beautiful. Little makeup and just naturally attractive. Superb voice.
Too bad she wasn't listed in the top 50 greatest female artists of all time. I would've included her for sure....Kate Bush also.
Something of a Melanie and Dolores O'Riordan cross up.
@@sonofadeadbeat3051 Melanie! Ugh!
They don't make them like this anymore! Wonderful singer.and a beautiful beautiful song!!
I love her voice so much I play most of her recordings every day just love Lesley she is still with us

I absolutely love this lady! Such a loss but her beautiful music lives on. xx

I've just watched this and had to look it up and play it again..Beautiful...
Love this song as well, she sings from the heart! Have troubles at the moment and this is helpingxxxx
Great upload......earth mother was one of the first records I bought and thank The Lord I still have it. I loved that woman.
If I had met this woman I would have fallen in love with her
I feel the same. Not very often that a singer appeals to me in this way. Her honesty and emotion are so attractive.
Kevin Doyle me too mate
@@buffplums You have good taste be well my friend
Me too man :(
Shame we will not get anymore songs like this from her just fantastic sad heart warming all at the same time just lovely
Wow!!! How come I never heard of her?
The light keeps getting stronger, a beautiful song of hope!
Been a fan since I first heard her 20 years ago
Love the song, awesome voice. Guess that's why she did background vocals for the great Dusty Springfield. I will definitely check out more of her music.
I liked her songs many years ago. And I still do.
Sublime. Beautiful.
Lesley was one of the backing singers on Pink Floyd’s - Dark Side of the Moon
Sluff Adlin you mean The Dark Side Of The Moon

A lovely song. Rest in peace Lesley
Discovered this artiste from the very Disturbing film.' Men'..But what a voice..
what a natural, unassuming singer
Hell. I can`t get enought of her voice.
Great recording sums up her perfection
Thank you so much for loading this. Beautiful song, beautiful performance. I missed out on her music first time round but the it lives on.
Hermosa, ella, su voz y su cancion, totalmente prendado.
Thank you!!!!!
And I never really feel as if she's gone....
Every one should leave something behind, and she left all her beautiful songs.
Lesley a magic creature.
i like this slowed down version over the speedier studio version. thanks for the upload
brilliant song & singer, thanks for uploading this performance.
Nice to see this old grey whistle performance,I think this is the very first episode,the band America performed a few tracks on this episode too
Simply beautiful x
All my friends are travelers, we don't often get to meet
But I know they're out there somewhere, and the knowin'
Keeps me sweet.
Now some go out in limousines, and some leave
On their feet
And I never really feel as if they're gone
No I never really feel as if they're gone.
Amanda's like my sister, and she's out there in L.A.
But the wings of love fly straight and true,
So we keep in touch that way,
Now there's other friends less sensitive, I guess they'll
Use the phone someday
And we watch the wheels of life keep spinning on
Yes we watch the wheels of life keep spinning on.
Now the chain of love keeps growing
And the world keeps getting small
And soon there won't be room enough to separate us all
When the voice of love grows strong enough
It could break down any wall
And you'll hear it call, you'll hear it call.
Now sometimes when I look ahead I could cry at what I see
Some say it's an easy road but it never was for me
The damage is not half undone and we've all
Got dues to pay
But we get the help we need along the way
Yes the light keeps growing stronger every day.
Thanks for the lyrics. A+
i like her singing here, nice phrasing and subtle touch.
beautiful thats it!!
Beautiful song, beautifully performed. Thanks.
Lovely song this xxx
percussion beautiful too
Beautiful
cancion con sentimiento.un 10
Lesley Duncan canta "If you could change your mind"(Alan Parsons, Eve)
Ela Era tão linda quanto sua voz!
I just love this
Love this song. Don't know about anyone else but I have the feeling that she's singing about Dusty from 1:23-2:08.
Teeside girl! Stockton.
Géniale
WOW!
Dusty Springfields backing singer…very fab.
Rip...
if my memory serves over the 30 years since i last saw this , elton john sang backing vocals at some time during this session , can`t remember on what song
essential
Just saw this on BBC4 and had to find out who she is
Ha left a comment to someone stating the same thing. Nice
I've been singing Lesley's songs since my brother introduced me to "Fine Friends" in the 70s. Does anyone know if there's a live rendition of that song anywhere?
Makes me wonder if there were other songs filmed for this session.......
Great performance!
Who are the band members?
Nicky Hopkins on organ?
Her and Bowie had an on off relationship 68
I think it´s Andy Bown on the piano but who are the other musicians backing up Lesley ?
Actually I don't ever see the piano player's face. The organ player does look like Andy Bown. That should be Chris Spedding on guitar. I assume piano is Jimmy Horowitz (her then husband). Can pinpoint bassist or drummer though.
Looks like Cat Power's mom. Sounds like Natalie Merchant's idol.
Natalie Merchant must have listened to her alot
Nicky Hopkins on the keyboards?
This is a girl. And her voise is stunning me.
Didn’t know the band is Curved Air
You are thinking of Sonja Kristina who was in Curved Air
Can't find this to download! So annoying
Tracy Husseini www.keepvid.com
Such kissable lips.
Is that in the 'biblical' sense ?
A realy coasy girl is singing a realy coasy song.
Les forgot to hide his adams apple
🙄
una de las voces británicas mas hermosas
Wow!!!
