I've been in love with sandy since first hearing her when aged 17 'ish, I still start crying at various points of listening to that fucking amazing voice , big love sandy from hoghead 0619 x
"Tell me what you see in me" has always been my favorite from Sandy. This song just gives me goosebumps every time I hear it! What a very distinguished, unique voice she had!
Sandy how we miss you so much you were unique in every way and we miss you so much I wish you were still here with that beautiful voice I hope you are still singing in heaven my beautiful one LOVE YOU SANDY DENNYXXX
Along with Nick Drake , another underrated artist when alive, and both died tragically well before their time. Definitely and quintessentially the "Best of British" .
Sandy Denny touches my heart like no other singer. Her songs "No End" and "One More Chance" are my favorite songs. When I saw her live, tears streamed down the moment she started singing and I said out loud to myself, "only you do this to me."
It must have been wonderful to see her sing live. The solo piano version of 'No End' and other songs such as 'Nothing More' and 'Listen Listen' are masterpieces.
What I love particularly is her solo rendering of "One More Chance", just her signing and playing the piano, which is a bonus track to the CD edition of "Rising for the Moon". And there is a very slight variation to the melody when she get to "Naked tree of winter seems to stand so proud / Lording the poor mortal as it goes". Absolutely gives me goosebumps every single time.
Thanks for posting.. got to see Sandy perform twice in the U.S. and so many memorable pieces.. Autopsy, Nothing More,Winter Winds, Man of Iron, Pass of Arms, the Lady, plus the Jackson C. Frank songs, Next time Around, and the list goes on for me. and like so many, made the pilgrimage to see her gravesite in Putney Vale (The Lady // Alexandra Elene // MacLean Lucas).. agree with comment below that it was memorable to see Georgia Lucas in the audience .. I also greatly admired her father, Trevor Lucas, such a special occasion and thank you BBC for selecting her to the Folk Hall of Fame!
Wow, i was so glad during this tribute as it unfolded to find out Sandy had a daughter, i was thinking at first how sad because Sandy didnt have children or so i thought, then as they said her daughter was there my heart soared. Then as the band assembled Fairport i was a little bummed that a male singer was going to sing, boy was i wrong Rufus sang it beautifully as it could be other than Sandy singing it. Most special tribute thanks for sharing it. RIP Sandy.
Re: Georgia Rose Lucas, her father Trevor Lucas died in 1989 and was a great Australian balad singer and co-member of Fotheringay and Fairport, and Georgia's website post indicates she is a mother of three, a DJ, artist, producer and cancer survivor and figher and is 44.. ..also at this table at the folk awards was Linda Thompson (who was a best friend of Sandy going back to 1966 and sung with Sandy on the Bunch album)... Thea Gilmore put to music words written by Sandy Denny about her daughter Georgia and called Georgia.. very very sad to listen to given Sandy was in very bad shape during that time in 1977 when she had Georgia before falling down the stairs at her mother's house and perhaps a second time at her friend's house after delaying treatment for the first fall.
Sandy Denny's songs definitely grow on you over time; as Lavinia Blackwall points out here, it is probably due to the unusual arrangements and harmonies. I think that is probably the reason that her songs never achieved mainstream approval. Most people tend to listen to a song once, and then that is it. The coded lyrics with obscure references also make it difficult for the casual listener to get it the first time. I have to admit that despite being in awe of her beautiful voice for many years, it was only after purchasing some of the box sets a few years ago, and hearing the home demos, that the beauty of masterpieces such as 'No End', really struck me. Her solo albums mostly feel overproduced. I feel that Sandy Denny is very much still with us, as she influenced so many other artists, and her wonderful songs are still relevant today.
Agreed, for me it's her emotional intelligence that shines through. It it so evident in Sandy's writing, the phrasing and of course her singing. I firmly believe that she had such a heightened sense of emotional intelligence that it weighed heavily on her. Obviously she was gifted, a genius if you will.
Personally I don't get it. I find Sandy much more accessible, listenable and easy to understand than Kate Bush or Joanna Newsome, both of whom have had far more commercial success.
Thank you Rufus Wainwright for the best cover of Who Knows Where The Time Goes I've ever heard. I'm sure Sandy would have really enjoyed your interpretation of her most famous song.
It's a shame Rufus Wainwright missed singing the ever-so poignant line, "Who knows how my love grows .." in the last chorus, otherwise this is a well played, well sung and heartfelt rendition. Great live sound, too! Despite its apparent simplicity, this is a song that in so many ways challenges the performer(s) to do it justice. It's not that easy.
I don't know. This song just needs Sandy's voice. The original recording is incredibly simple. Sandy for almost the entire song sticks with its simple melody, she uses almost no ornaments, but at no point does the tension diminish. So it is very hard to appreciate anyone else's rendering of the song, however well made it may be.
@@jochannan7379 the best 60s singer songwriters divide up into "sounds better when someone else sings it" (Dylan, Cohen) or "only the original will do" (Mitchell, Denny)
Sandy’s gift was that she: • nullified herself to the song, then • added extra value with her superb ornamentation, phrasing and the smoky pristine quality of voice. She deserves better than Rupert.
Aw, it's lovely that Sandy's daughter Georgia was in the audience.

The only voice that can instantly reduce me to tears...sometimes almost too painful to listen to given her sad passing... but always worth it.
Thank you só much, beloved Sandy...RIP, PLEASE

Lovely tribute. Overdue.
perhaps greatest richest female voice in her many genres from britain!

The Queen of Evermore !!!
Nadie, nunca nadie cantó igual que Sandy en "The Battle of ever more" nadie como ella, sin ella esa canción no tiene magia.
Love her voice ♥️
So well deserved. And Georgia and Joe Boyd too!

Yes Sandy did have the one child. Unfortunately Georgia was only about nine months old when Sandy died, so she would have no memory of her mum.

Even she was added to hall of fame but still, she is underrated
Nobody who heard Sandy ever underrated her.
maybe the best female vocalists of all time.!!!!!!!!
Not maybe, definitely.
I don't know. Someone else than Sandy with her magic voice singing "Who knows where the time goes" just doesn't cut it.
Sandy was too good for this world.
Fantastic vocal by Wainwright. I'm positive that SD would have more than approved.
Thank you Rufus Wainwright for the best cover of Who Knows Where The Time Goes I've ever heard. I'm sure Sandy would have really enjoyed your interpretation of her most famous song.
Except it's krap.
Rufus TOTALLY mailed it- I got chills
I guess you never heard Judy Collins version?
She needed this respect when she was alive.She never got all this fuss then bit like Nick Drake.

A beautiful tribute.

• added extra value with her
superb ornamentation, phrasing
and the smoky pristine quality of
voice.
She deserves better than Rupert.
Was Richard Thompson not available
to sing this?!?
This song was for Sandy Denny, not for this man.
Very reverent !
Was Rufus inebriated, or just ecstatic ?
Sounds like TV Talent dross.
o my
Sorry but Rufus' version was bloody awful.
Lol 😂
Yeh he's a bit one dimensional
That song of Sandy`s is not for a man...........!
I agree, but a woman singing it would be more directly compared to Sandy herself and always found wanting.
But he's not a proper man! Hold your horses, just kidding. I thought he nailed it for both genders or all billion of them.
Maybe, maybe not, but I thought he did it quite well.
