She’s right up there as one of our best ladies , effortlessly talented, so cool , somehow makes every song she sings seems like she is the only one to record it 💋
Always adored this beautiful, haunting song! I was 10 years old when it charted in 1978. That singular, gentle oboe on the courus still sends shivvers down my spine, as does the sparkling quality of Elkie's gorgeous voice. Weird thing is a grew up to be a Metal head & techno lover. Elkie had such elegance & class. Lovely memories!
Jeff Buckley brought me here . But i remember this version as a kid , She also knocked this song out of the park , what a voice and version of this song .
Can’t believe only so few likes . Obviously don’t know how talented and how powerful beautiful her voice is just amazing always played this song over and over amazing lady and a Manchester girl ❤️🤗
I just got back from seeing Elkie live for the first time, I was prepared for a bit of wear and tear in her voice I WAS WRONG!!!!, she was absolutely, unbelievably, superb as was her band, if you get the chance you should try to get a ticket to see her during the rest of her tour.
One of the very few who can deliver a cover version a thousand miles ahead of the original. I saw her live in performance only a few years ago (I'm writing in 2021) and she was wonderful, completely technically excellent, but, most importantly, she delivered every emotional moment as she always, always, does.
Excellent quality I think! One of my favourite songs sung beautifully by a beautiful lady with, in my opinion, one of the greatest voices ever. She puts everything into this song but doesn't overdo it and holds those notes amazingly well. Thank you kindly for this!
I lost myself on a cool damp night Gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Lost my heart in its recipe Made me see what I want to see Be what I want to be But I think more than I ought to think And do things I never should do I drink much more that I ought to drink Because it brings me back you Lilac wine is sweet and heady Like my love Lilac wine, I feel unsteady Like my love Listen to me I cannot see clearly Isn't that he coming to me Nearly here? Lilac wine is sweet and heady Where's my love? Lilac wine, I feel unsteady Where's my love? Listen to me Why is everything so hazy? Isn't that he Or am I going crazy, dear? Lilac wine, I feel I'm ready For my love Feel I'm ready For my love.

Listening in August ‘23 still sounds amazing
Almost 74 years old and this is the first time I've heard this song on 9*1*1. Absolutely moving. Elkie Brooks' voice is amazing.
Puts all of today's "singers" well and truly in the shade....75 today and still hitting the notes....
Happy Birthday Elkie. 💝
👍👏👏👏❤️
Agreed, to much emphasis on visuals ,rather than the sound,listen to a well produced/recording and it's literally like stepping into another reality
Just wonderful Elkie,thank you.
Best British female voice ever!
Incredible. Timeless.
Elkie is an awesome singer. She needs more exposure, I think she is amazing.
Elkie is one of the best singers this country has ever produced. This is my favourite song of hers. Total class.
In my opinion, the best.
Never got the recognition she deserved.
I keep returning to this every few months, it’s fab, I agree.
Ellie is the top of all singers
England?

Been lucky enough to have seen Elkie sing this live, fantastic
Saw her live in EDINBURG Scotland
1981 [I think] Usher Hall
She fronted Vinegar Joe
Great voice
Best blues singer ever….please come to Wexford Opera House in Ireland.❤
Apart from the obvious emotion and powerful performance by Elkie this song always makes me sad when I hear it
Fabulous ❤️
Very atmospheric
What a fantastic voice
Love this song. 🌸🌺🌸
Beautiful girl,only 33 years old here.
Awesome. What a singer. Pure Class.

This song from Elkie has me in tears too.
Beautiful singer
Magnificent voice .... and hair!
A brilliant performance of my favourite song by Elkie.
The ending is sublime.
That's how to perform a song on stage. I pity the act that had to follow that on TOTP.
Pure talent
Unbelievable, the very best power ballad ever.
Classic 🎉
great great song love it so much love Elkie brooks
Just outstanding 👏
Absolutely superb.
Still awesome in 2022
Adore this song and how Elkie performs it.

Who did the original Phillip? Have heard quite a few covers but never the original, be interesting to compare them.

Shes just superb,no other words needed
There are many great versions but I have to say that this one is my fav.
fannycraddock99
I totally agree.
Absolutely awesome performance, wonderful singer, wonderful song, seen her do it live.
Songs like this make Ellie stand out from the rest
Beautiful powerful voice
My favourite song, Pearls a Singer coming in a close 2nd
First time I have listened to this since buying the extended version in the early 80's. Beautiful song.
Habe Sie soeben entdeckt. Misses Brooks, Sie haben einen neuen Fan.
Vinegar Joe- honky tonk woman - no wonder she made it ❤️❤️❤️👍👍
saw her enjoyable show at the Tottenham Court Road (Odeon, I think....).....45 years ago !......Lilac wine, indeed....
What a voice.
Excellent quality I think! One of my favourite songs sung beautifully by a beautiful lady with, in my opinion, one of the greatest voices ever. She puts everything into this song but doesn't overdo it and holds those notes amazingly well. Thank you kindly for this!
Bernard M If you like her version, try listening to Jeff Buckley’s version, if you haven’t already. His is the only one that comes close to this one.
The definitive lilac wine ❤
Sublime.
Christmas 22.12 2223 Brilliant Elkes one of the best ❤
Superb as always !!💗🌷
fabulous singer
Netflix One Day rekindled a memory and brought me here....
And me, exactly the same, had totally forgotten this existed.
Me too. Until One Day I had not properly listened to the lyrics.
Beautiful
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Lost my heart in its recipe
Made me see what I want to see
Be what I want to be
But I think more than I ought to think
And do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Like my love
Listen to me
I cannot see clearly
Isn't that he coming to me
Nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Where's my love?
Listen to me
Why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that he
Or am I going crazy, dear?
Lilac wine, I feel I'm ready
For my love
Feel I'm ready
For my love.
I can sing that lovely song
best male rendition of the song: Jeff Beck...Elkie just amazing.
Absolute class
I keep watching this , powerful !
Class!!!
Wonderful. Evocative ❤
I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that she has Italian genes. Beautiful lady, voice, song!
She is Jewish - real name Elaine Bookbinder
Yes. But weirdly not in Wikipedia's list of Jewish singers.
Magic .x
Masterpiece
Elkie Brooks sings this song better than anyone else in the world! Saw her perform this in Cheltenham a couple of years ago and she was AMAZING :)
yes she is from the Shirley Bassey school when they sing a song they put everything into it
Stunning.
One of my mums fav song. Was brought up on her. Know her words to tge tee x
