    How good does she look,without even trying. Not like today’s lot pumped up with fillers and false lips and lashes.

      Yeah, Ced was a great guy, we worked on a few projects together including Hazel and the Q-Tips. Sadly missed.

    Clare Hirst. I remember her in the Belle Stars. What an incredibly talented saxophonist. Hazel O’Connor her voice is so distinctive. Being a pre teen when Breaking Glass came out I went out and bought the LP. Listened to it over and over. She made a big impact on me I love her voice, and her look.

    Saddly there's cedric sharply on drums passed on few yrs ago now he deserves credit as a fantastic drummer.. But mainly for a great artist Gary Numan. Ie tubeway army toured with... This as to be the greatest balled ever written in my eyes...

    I saw Hazel preform this song at the Queens Park centre Aylesbury in the late 80s, it was accompanied with a Harp

      Hey Peter, Hazel has gone out with varying lineups over the years. You should go check out her now, she does an acoustic show with Sarah on piano and Clare on sax.

    I'm pretty sure everyone one who learns to play sax must want to master this.

    • @westyonbass511
      @westyonbass511  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Most sax players I have worked with cite the solo on this track as a must learn, it’s so iconic. Do you play Graeme?

    Clare Hirst on sax... And the vid was cut short. :-(
    Best female sax player and a very humble person.
    She was with David Bowie at Live Aid in '85.

    Wow. Beautiful movement in these chords. Such an amazing song. Love the simple and effective bass. Was this live? It's slower than I recall and the mix is different.

    • @westyonbass511
      @westyonbass511  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you. I'm afraid that it was mimed as this was a requirement on the show. But it is exactly how we played it live.

    Ced Sharpely RIP great drummer.. Love Hazel I met her 4 or 5 yrs ago I told her my mum wasn't happy with the massive Hazel poster on my wall, mum said oh is she a punk so I played her Will you my mum said what a lovely song so I told Hazel that song saved her poster on my wall 😆 Hazel said the funny thing was it wasn't gonna go on the album I'm so glad it did :-) Keep getting well Hazel x

      That's a great story about the poster and your Mum, brilliant. A great song always wins out eh?

    i have always loved this song. i saw her in the 80's at loughborough uni. the sax player was incredible, he got covered in crazy foam and just kept playing, he was just awesome. preferred his solo than this womans. although she plays well to be fair. what a great song. i went to a party a couple of years ago and the band which was a man and wife played this, he could play any instrument, violin piano drums and the sax. he played the sax solo like he was born to play it. stunning.
