Lovely ballad sung by the beautiful Sonja Kristina. Curved Air were a UK Prog band but this clip mostly features their singer. This is from a Belgian music program.
This clip is a total gem. I saw Curved Air in 1973 when they played at Cardiff University. I was on the organising committee that booked them and got to meet the entire band including Sonja Kristina. She was stunningly lovely and extremely polite and gracious. The rest of the group behaved like absolute gentlemen. I will never forget that they wanted to find a tea shop, a contrast to almost every other band I encountered at the time which comprised drug-crazed, groupie-obsessed, ego-maniacs.

@@sergioruor Good lord! A reply to a comment I made 16 years ago. Amazing! Well thanks for your question. I believe CA's lineup at the time was the original one with the late Florian Pilkington-Miksa. Stewart Copeland was part of a later iteration of the band.

Back in the 60s, Sonja came to our school, in Brentwood, as a guest singer of the school's Folk Music Society. She attended the girls' school just down the road - and was Sonja Shaw back then. I had no special reason to go, so I gave it a miss. Oh how I wish I could rewind the last 55 years!

Canta autora compositora excepcional, voz angelical, belleza natural impresionante, no se ofendan cuando digo que ninguna de las cantantes populares de hoy en día (algunas hasta ridículamente calificadas como las mejores de todos los tiempos) le llega a los talones a la que considero la Mujer Pionera del Rock Progresivo, la gran Sonja Kristina y este temazo es un claro ejemplo.
