Great song about a woman being physically and emotionally abused by her man but no matter what she still loves him and because of that can't leave him. It's the story of Irma Thomas, the original singer in 1964. This song was also used in a couple of Black Mirror episodes.
I think it works with black mirror in a sense (this is gonna sound like I'm reading to far into it) but technology is often a thing that corrupts people, privacy, and ethics, but people still want it so i think it's fitting
This has become one of my go to videos, I have put it on Facebook a few times too. That little sparrow of a woman with that big fantastic emotional voice! The song is sublime anyway but with her and the lovely, passionate male voiced choir, the location..I think it is a work of Art!
Samantha's voice holds such depth, and interestingly beautiful qualities. And Tge Chapps Choir...what a treat! They are one voice, and embody themselves into the music. To say well-done is simply trite.
I remember the original as a (VERY YOUNG) kid and this is an AMAZING remake of Irma's original!!! I was lucky enough to see Samantha in London and she has a truly beautiful and an extraordinary voice!!
I think this is just really weird, the main vocal ruins the sensitivity that this song in the original intended, freaky bad, but what do i know, i only produced and released over 100 releases by myself and performed over a couple thousand times for huge crowds and festivals, i know nothing, but my gutt knows everything. Nice try though, try again
One of the most moving and perfect performances I have seen or heard in over 50 years. Nothing has moved me quite like this in a long time. After witnessing hundreds of up close and personal live shows by the greatest artists of our time from every genre this still chills me to the bone. A masterpiece !👌
I've recently started binge watching Black Mirror and this song has been in my head all week. What an awesome version especially when her voice goes to the next level towards the end!
Hello Cousin across the pond. I remember you asking me to get this for you (needing a UK post for the physical copy). If I know you, you kept it in its original packaging, correct?
I do not wish to demean your comment Sally,but i would say it is of equal excellence to the Irma Thomas original,of which i came here after i was listening to that,that in itself is a great compliment to Samantha and Chaps choir,loved it!,oh and i have never watched black mirror,my first time hearing this version.And Hi from England!
Beautifully crafted and produced! Like most people I was brought here eventually because of Jessica Brown-Findlay's gorgeous rendition of this emotional song. I have listened to as many versions of this as I could find. Seal also gave it a good go. Then......this popped up. Excellent. Samantha Whates with Chaps Choir. Made for each other.
First heard this on 6Music last year. I tend to not spend money on digital music (I'm more of a physical copy person myself) but had to get the song from the moment it hit my ears!
this deserves 15 million views

lady irma...
Wow, thanks for teeing that up for everyone, Dick Tracy.
It is so rare, to find a cover version that is as much as poweful as the original - Irma Thomas' version. Just ordered the 7" Single.
ROEE KALEV thank you! We loved being part of this cover

8 years later this cover still criminally underrated. Why why? This is unacceptable!!
some pleasures are meant to be a secret
it's lacking some layers of sound and rhythm, IMHO
What I wouldn't give to be part of that choir. Thank you Black Mirror.
15 million merits. Black Mirror. Great episode.
My favorite version of this hauntingly beautiful song. Beautiful voices.
Samantha's voice holds such depth, and interestingly beautiful qualities. And Tge Chapps Choir...what a treat! They are one voice, and embody themselves into the music. To say well-done is simply trite.

This is beyond beautiful
Singer knocked this out of the park.
Freakin love this! Was lucky enough to be in the choir backing the talented Ms Whates. p.s. check out more Chaps Choir songs!
I think you're the only chap who has commented !
Well Adam woodhall sir! That was bloody marvellous. Looked like great fun to me.
