Elkie Brooks - I was discussing this version of Chris Rea's song with friend the other night. One of those occasions when a cover is better than the original, imho.

great singer

Indeed she is - I saw her back in the day (1980's) when she had hits with Lilac Wine and Pearl's a Singer - both good songs - but for me 'Fool if you....' is the masterpiece from her. Just the perfect amount of yearning in the voice - it is perfection in the shape of a '45. I know she can do bluesier and rockier stuff but the reading of this song in it's own restrained way is quite brilliant.

I get that, but oddly, because I love the programme, her singing the intro to A Very Peculiar Practice is what I love most

Like The Simpsons another programme that has passed me by. I will find this tune and give it a listen.

For Claudio, only because it came on my iPod as I was reading his words of love to Leicester. But it's apt, and yes, I've linked to it before.
