I've never heard it by anyone else. Didn't know he'd done it. Must track that down.

Here it is..I love it, so sad :cry:

 

 

that's a beautiful version, Beautiful Angel. And very sad too, Billy's voice does it justice.

It sure does, doesn't it Robbie? I agree :thumbup:

actually i much prefer sandy posy 'single girl', similar subject but a much more wistful lament to the track, not so much the 'wo is me', self pitying type thing.

Oh yeah, love Single Girl too. Anyone remember At Seventeen by Janis Ian?

I have a copy of it on the original Major Minor label.

It was this Sheffield girl's only hit.

 

The story is about a blind orphan boy, nobody wanted to adopt him because he was blind.

 

She just missed out though with a previous single, a cover of Cher's US '9 hit You Better Sit Down Kids.

 

She also bubbled under with the follow-up to Nobody's Child - Allentown Jail

 

Don't get mixed up with the US disco singer who had a minor hit with Hot Shot in the late 70s

 

Here's Sandy Posey's other minor hit, Born A Woman. Get the sexist lyrics! :o

Sandy had 3 UK hits

 

Born A Woman - #24

Single Girl - #15

What A Woman In Love Won't Do - #48

 

Single Girl was re-issued in 1975 peaking at #35

 

Sandy also recorded the original version of Sunglasses which was a #18 hit in 1984 for Tracey Ullman

 

This was when country music charted in the UK - right up to the 80s.

The subject is quite different than that of Nobody's Child

 

Single Girl is about a girl who couldn't find anyone to marry her because of her looks.
