Politics and Culture
Sticking with Willie Mitchell and the Memphis Sound (Al Green last week), here's Ann Peebles, live on the Scottish TV program Halfway to Paradise. I've said before that the recorded version of this is unimprovable, but still, this is a great performance. Just her and a piano…
The show ran from 1988 to 1994, so…somewhere in there, date-wise.
Thanks for this version. i first heard the song on Charlie Gillett’s Saturday morning show, looking out the window onto Mountview Road, holding my one week old daughter. i could hardly believe how good it was. this is too – more considered and persuasive than the ecstatic lament of the record. however i can only remember that, as i gave the album to O’Chi Brown (remember her?) on her fortieth birthday; PWL had not bothered to induct her into such wonders.
