    More than legitimate version, but I prefer the faster original. :/

    Well, the original version is the benchmark, isn't it? A transatlantic hit, a standard in the live set ever since and very moving enyway, both with Carrack and Roachford singing.


    But it's nice to learn that BA Robertson also makes music on his own. I also wasn't aware!

    cheers

    He had several solo hits in the UK in the late 70's, Cool in the Kaftan, Bang Bang being 2 I remember.

  • Additional info for those who don't know: He's credited as BA Robertson to avoid confusion with the other Brain Robertson, a Thin Lizzy member at the time he first appeared.
