    I was a mere 18 year old working in construction but earning extra shillings in the evenings as barman at a local pub.
    No car back then, I had to cycle like fury to get home for TOGWT on Tuesday nights.
    One night, I'd just got in the door and switched the TV on but missed Annie's intro so didn't catch the name of the angel who had just stepped up to the microphone and blew me (a Led Zep, Thin Lizzie, Ian Dury and Joe Jackson fan) clean away with both this and "Sports Car".
    I bought "Welcome to the Cruise" in my lunch hour, next day and have been an ardent fan, ever since.
    Ten years later, I married and raised children with a lass from London who looked more like Judy than Judy (and her name is even Judith).
    TOGWT has a LOT to answer for, LOL.

      Brilliant story, pal! I got into her - metaphorically speaking! - when I "borrowed" a mate's Welcome To The Cruise cassette back in 1992, and no sooner had I heard the silky brilliance of the opening track...jeez, I fell in love with a new and improved songstress to add to my devotion to the incomparable Steely Dan!

      @@daveshepherd1235 That opening track has gotta be one of the best introductions to a new artist, ever.
      I adore and still play all her stuff and each album has their own incomparable tracks.
      I'd be hard pressed to choose my favourite but it would likely be either WTTC or "I Am The Phoenix" which is an odd title because she never sings "I am the phoenix" but "I am the fire" (I wonder if she knows..... LOL).
      If someone held a gun to my head, I think I'd have to choose the Phoenix - if only for the hauntingly wonderful "You Were The Place" which, whenever I listen to it, stays stuck in my head for days.
      Thanks for responding (kinda feel sorry for you having missed all those years. I'd already had three kids before you even stumbled across her. But I'm guessing your probably a good bit younger than I so would have been a tad on the young side, when Jude first burst onto the scene and - sadly - was competing with the equally brilliant yet far more quirky, theatrical and TV performance friendly, Ms Kate Bush or Judie would likely have been a much bigger star, even, than she was. Not that she wasn't, anyway).

      My introduction to Judie, a mate said you have to listen to this, and threw me a cassette. 40 plus years later, still listening.

    what an incredible singer. what a voice.
    and singing so effortlessly too.
    what a joy to bring me back to that day when her album came out and i would listen endlessly to soooo many of those wonderful tracks.
    this is one of the best on that album, imo. loved it from the first moment i heard it, and it is still a wonderful song. abbasolutely wonderful lyrics.
    'fooooooooooooooool'
    this is a superb live version too.
    thanks for posting,
    love and peace to you and all,

    I'm a drummer and into bigband jazz, and grew up with Cleo Laine, Marion Montgomery, and other great names in jazz and had as a consequence little time for pop and rock singers. BUT! This beautiful woman stopped me in my tracks. Such a pure voice, and seemingly effortless technique. She was never truely appreciated unlike some lesser singers we could all name. Pure class.....❤

    Ive been listening to her from day 1 and still doing so today during the pandemic. A wonderful performer, hugely underrated except by those who know and love her and her music. Judie, thanks for 40 amazing years, keep on rocking madam!

  • @moomin151
    @moomin151 13 лет назад +5

    I have the Ritmo record and I adore it. And this song is star star star plus for me. Should have been a massive hit. Her voice is so full of emotion and meaning. I always get a powerful blast though, when i listen to the Ritmo record. I love that
    Nighthawks track. Black leather in the moonlight, and dont they look so good. Power to all the Judie Tzuke fans, we have the magic at our fingertips. Thank you

    I saw her perform an acoustic version of this song last month and her voice is still awesome. She also did wonderful acoustic versions of other songs from the first album: "Bring The Rain", "Welcome To The Cruise", "For You" and, of course, "Stay With Me 'Til Dawn".

    Generally, I was indifferent to the late 70’s and early 80’s pop music scene.
    I’d switched off at punk rock and disco.
    Artists like Judie and Annie Haslam shone out like beacons at that time and restored my faith in the genre.
