I saw her in concert in Cardiff about 4 weeks ago. what a trooper. Her voice is still there. No compromises. She pinned the audience in their seats with its power. Catch her if you can. She is still on tour. The Long Goodbye Tour. The best gig I have been to in the past 5 years or more.
Love “The Elk” Fantastic Live Perfoemances always note & Pitch perfect dynamic concerts a truly beautiful soul - Proud to be the First Original Elk-a-Holic Love Elk & her Boys. Elk is grossly under rated and having contributed so much to the music industry is well OVERDUE her “Damehood - Go see Elk Live - Will be your best Show ever - Elk-a-Holic til I die x x x
A very nice rendition of a difficult song. Chris wrote this for his younger sister...brotherly love.Her voice is more direct than the original and the lead guitar is exceptional.
Hello hello Miss. Brooks ! 👋🤓 Well done, for a lady to sing this master piece of Chris Rea, is quite a pleasure to listen to. 👌👀 ..great voice, and I can certainly hear the emotion is there.🤞😇 U go girl ! 💃 From Stallion.🏇 ..pretty girl.👁️
i left the uk in 1999 and the cassette player in my car had a tape or Elkie stuck in the player the whole journey was Elkie , it was the the best trip of my life i ended up in Spain what a trip , in the words of ABBA thank you for the music.
Love to know the meaning of this song how it wS intended. Over the years I've interpreted many meanings. Whats began? ... heartheart, sorrow, a crap life with a narcissist? Well good luck girls and guys there's a lot of liars in the world. Wolves dressed in sheeps clothing.
Esta mujer tiene un gran estilo y lo lleva a la canción de Chris Rea, me encanta, tiene un estilo y una voz muy sensual, muy provocadora, y sus músicos son muy buenos. Él de la guitarra, se acopla excelente a la versión, un abrazo a Elkie
I have watched this clip over 100 times over the years and put on a CD so I could listen to it in my car since 2012. Years later I still love this version and the great performance. Thanks as I go to Salford quite often...
They are both great, but ironically Elkie’s version charted better than Chris’s original in 1978 that he had written for his teenage sister at the time.
Claro que não , na interpretação dos dois ficou muito bom. Seria mais uma questão de gosto mesmo. Eu prefiro na voz de Chris Rea , mas com ela ficou muito bom
I have just discovered Elkie Brooks today and she is awesome ❤️❤️👍👍🤸🤸
There’s just something about this song. It clings on to hope with the fingernails. She absolutely nails it!!!
How has this only got 103K views? This is an absolute classic! It's time Elkie was rediscovered.

Brings tears to my eyes thinking back to 1980. As good as Chris Rea.
Lata night driving around Vice City...
Her & Chris should've dueted this.
I broke up with my other half after 15 years, he posted this through my door.. We are still here 20 years later... Lv ur music so much.. Xx
Took my teenage son to see Elkie in Sussex, had to keep it quiet, did not go with his night clubbing image at the time. He loved her like I do. 🤩🥰🤩

Wonderful voice brings back memories of my life in 1980s-90s. A star!!!

How could you forget dear ok elkie brooks. Ahh gody luv and yous you tubeyseess
No, no, no, no
this is song! u have to sing but u're just saying words of composition...
Yes we know that Chris Rea had a bigger hit with his version. I mean the guy wrote the song, but Elkies version is very good too.
Actually it was Elkie who had a bigger hit in the UK then Chis.
Шэтэл
Nice but ,no way close like Chris
It’s better.
Me quedo con la de Cris
Me quedo con la de Elkie .
she doesn't touch chris rea's version i'm sorry
Don't be sorry, it's so true !
There isn’t any musician that can touch Chris Rea’s versions of fool!
She takes it to a higher level. Even Chis Rea loved it .
@@Jake-jr2zhYes he apparently posed as a fan backstage on her 1982 Top of the Pops performance of the song to get her autograph.
Chris rea is way better
Elkie does it better.
They are both great, but ironically Elkie’s version charted better than Chris’s original in 1978 that he had written for his teenage sister at the time.
She sings better than the original singer
Sad she sings a flat note at 2.43. Apart from that it’s really good, but sorry, it’s not as good as the original, musically or vocally.
If it was good enough for Chris Rea , it’s good for me .
Cris REA is better
Claro que não , na interpretação dos dois ficou muito bom.
Seria mais uma questão de gosto mesmo.
Eu prefiro na voz de Chris Rea , mas com ela ficou muito bom
I prefer this Version.
Amazing voice
