Commercial music today has nothing on this. This is not just music -- this is brilliant music. Enduring. Perfect the day it was released as it is today. Joan Armatrading is an artist. Some say they never heard of her -- yet, this woman has been recording and performing officially & with undiminished quality to loyal audiences since 1972. Pretty good track record I'd say.
When I have found myself in a time or place or state of mind to "get" Joan Armatrading: She hits harder than almost any other musical artist of last 40 years. She really does.
i listened to this song when i was 16,i am 41 now,. lost my best friend of 27 yrs 2 yrs ago this is her anniversary TONIGHT found this song an i dedicaTE THIS SONG TO HER. LOVE U WITH ALL MY SOUL BABE.X
Happy birthday Joan! Thank you for all the wonderful music over the years! I've been a fan for over 35 years and I'll never stop listening to your soulful voice!
thank you punkrkboy. I'd been begging someone might eventually upload this beauty in high quality. I pray more people get hip to this gem now. The reversed drum pattern is brilliant.
just met an African girl called Chioma.... she dedicated this to me so I checked ot out. Sounds like I'm in there from the lyrics ! ! ! Wahaaay ! ! ! Still I am a bit of a charmer for sure .....lucky me ! ! !
This song applies, in equal measure, to the four woman I have ever truly loved. I married one of them... ♫ Cos I've found the perfect who can take me in their arms and love me ♫
First introduced to Joan in 1978 with Love And affection...Always Understood her since then!
Just love this woman.

Commercial music of 2019 mostly just sucks. So glad to have all of he recorded music.
Phew - you certainly 'took the words right outta my mouth', and this isn't the ghost of Meatloaf - it's just 'the truth '. WELL DONE.
Blessings ☮️🧡🙏

Prisoner Number Nine has symbolic meaning
Prisoner Number Nine? I hear "to the big cloud Number Nine". 'Cloud 9' usually means an exalted place.
@@YaoEspirito yes, she says big cloud number 9.
