You know you've made it when an audience sings your song back to you. Audiences all over the world have sung "Willow" back to Joan for years. It's always a moment of stunning beauty. She is an artist of the highest order. Keep your Lady Gaga's & Justin Beiber's. I am content, as many here are, to have Joan to remind us just how beautiful & hopeful music can be. The audience is beginning to sing to Joan as I write this...my eyes are getting misty. Happens every time. I don't mind.
Saw Joan for 1st time when she came to Adelaide Sth Aust. Absolutely brilliant, has been back 9 times and been every time. Hoping to come to UK next year or so and hope to catch a concert . She is just amazing and so special to my wife and I . Thanks Joan
I´ve been a fan of Joan since 75. Saw her at the Cornwall Colosseum in the 80s. and she is amazing. The passion with which she performs on this recording is so moving and the keyboards are the icing..
Maryanne Denley Hi Brian & Maryanne, So glad I got to share this with you. I have rediscovered Joan after many years and she is once again one of my favourites. She will be at the Metropool, Hengelo, our local Pop podium next year. Not a huge venue but gets visited by many well known artists. I will be a volunteer there from next week. I have built a heap more guitars so will send you an email with photos.
Listening to Joan Armatrading and specifically this song, I wonder how people can make such a hype about these todays plastic-like artists like Taylor Swift... may be I am to old (to young to die, to old for Rockn ´Roll.. ;-)

Have tried singing along. Every time I choke up, Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Thank you Joan.
Such a beautiful song. Can't listen to it without crying. I dedicate it to my wife who's slowly slipping away from me because of Alzheimer's.
No gimmicks, just pure talent. what a star, the love shown to Joan is amazing & warranted.
Watching in 2021. What a classic. My favourite of all time
Fantastic singing and backing is something else.

Music, now that's what I am talking about - she is pure class and just getting better as she gets older
lost track of her music for many years. It's good to have your voice back in my head. love you.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard!❤️🥰
She is the best!!!!
Greetings from a big fan
Love Joan, her humanity shines through.
Goose bumps.........................
keep coming back to this hauntingly beautiful performance by joan, band, and audience
Vilken låt, helt underbar att lyssna till. Tack Joan för din härliga röst och känsla.
Very Beautiful, makes me cry
Gets me every time. Always tear up at this song, don’t know why. Bless you Joan, cos they are tears of happiness.
Such a beautiful song introduced to me by first and maybe only love that I let go so very long ago.
yeah.. i havent heard it ina while and it gets me everytime....
Ive seen thousands of shows, but this song in Brissy in the early eighties Festival Hall, was one of the most beautifull songs Ive ever heard live.
You're right, gives chills watching and listening.....
I love this woman.
Yes, she is one of the great one's, like Van Morrison or Joan Osborne. It's God's love that they transmit.
