      Aneka was criticised by some of her fans at the time as she had earned a name as a folk singer and the considered her a sell out for doing this. Is this sounding familiar?

    Brilliant song, it would never be made today with cultural appropriation. How the 80s are missed.

    Great memories from the 80's - time flies ! Miserable lot in the audience get up and dance !

    Mary has a lovely voice - she’s a Scots folk singer. This is a one-off.

      She’d been a successful singer and session musician in her own right before this - once it dropped they were forced to come up with a suitable image, cringe as it is!
      She did try and break out from its shadow and release a few songs under her own name, but they didn’t sell well.
      Mary herself wasn’t the biggest fan of her biggest hit and doesn’t sing it anymore. She’s apparently retired

      It's not a one off. She did a couple of other singles as Aneka.
