She was the first female singer that got to my soul. Before then as a youth, Cat Stevens, Donovan, Bob Dylan, The Beatles. Then, through listening to Joan Armatrading I read an article about her where mention was made of Joni Mitchell and Carole King and a new dimension was made open to me. God Bless you, Joan.
I agree-I am from America-came of age around 1983. I remember hearing about Joan and the critics seemed to love her, but she wasn’t really pushed forward by the American music industry. She didn’t fit into a simply defined category, so they didn’t know what to do with her. It’s a shame. But I am glad that finally, as an adult with finer tastes I got to experience all her music thanks to the internet; etc. I wonder if she ever wrote songs for any other performers?
There's still time. People come out of their decades of stupor and WHAM! Joan Armatrading? How come I didn't hear about her way back when? Well, you were under some silly spell with the masses. Now, pay attention. You will get an "A" in this class, forever.
She had big hits in the 70s and 80s including two of the songs on here. If you were around during that time you'll have heard these songs on the radio a lot. It's her later material that really isn't that popular.
I was first introduced to Miss Armatradings music and incredible lyrics in 1977. To this very day she still overwhelms me. Joan is a true artist in every way.
Superb singer, song writer, have been a fan from'70s& i'd buy any of her albums knowing i'd not be disappointed.May have been underrated & seldom played on mainstream radio, but her fans love&are loyal to her.ThankYou JOAN.👍♥️

2021, live, thank you you took me dancing cross the floor cheek to cheek , if I can feel the sun on my face why can't I make love with affection this time with a little bit of dedication, once more sing sing sing it,
Watching this has made me more intent to see JA live ASAP. I was due to see her in 1986 and the concert (Oxford Apollo) never happened. Love her songs, love her voice, love her guitar playing.
Hello Joan-Thanks for the new music!!! I have the comedy show French and Saunders to thank for introducing me to your music. That episode you did during their first season was so cute-that old lady dragging you all through London! I was laughing. Then you did the number “Killing Time”-and you totally rocked that show! And then when you were done they cut to that little audience of a dozen old ladies! It was so funny. But that song stuck with me-downloaded it and several others I liked-“Me Myself I” is the perfect anthem for introverts! Keep it up as long as it makes you happy-we are blessed to have you.
Unparalleled. Every time. Gratitude, always, for the Great and Grand Joan Armatrading.
The amazing joan armatrading. Never got the recognition she so richly deserved. National treasure in my opinion.

Legend! 40 years later. One of the best.
Very important music in my teenage years. She is totally underrated in my opinion.
I was first introduced to Miss Armatradings music and incredible lyrics in 1977.
To this very day she still overwhelms me.
Joan is a true artist in every way.
She is 71 here if this was recorded in 2021. Still as gorgeous as she ever was and an amazing talent.
