Welshman Andy Fairweather Low began his singing career with the band Amen Corner. He later became one of the world's most sought-after session musicians, and solo performers.
I always think of AFL as an 'unsung hero' of British music. He's still working at 77 years old. This is a modern-ish version of his 1969 hit 'If Paradise is Half as Nice'.
He does quite a good version here of 'Paradise.' Although in that same concert gig he attempted my favourite AFL song 'Natural Sinner' of which the original version had an amazing almost Gospel like backing chorus. So I knew he wouldn't attempt it. It really is a fantastic song.
ReplyDeleteI also remember 'Wide Eyed and Legless.'
