I first heard the Corrie Folk Trio & Paddie Bell in 1963 as a young student in Edinburgh. Loved them, especially Paddie. Sorry that Bill & Paddie left the group..although the Corries remained great, especially Roy and his (posthumous) recordings. They were an essential part of an era, of Scotland, and one's youth. Lovely memories.

There was once a music critic who referred to the "achingly pure soprano" of an American folk singer from the '60's. Obviously he'd not heard Paddie Bell at the time, or he would have saved his praise for her. And what wounderful harmonies the three braw laddies provided her! Thanks so much for sharing song and pictures!

Paddie Bell with the Corrie Folk Trio first came to my notice in '60s TV series, I seem to recall they were "A Cellar Full of Folk" and "The Hoot'nanny Show". I was captivated by Paddie's beautiful flawless singing voice then, as I still am.

I don't know how many times I have played this album since I bought it in the '60s and this is my favorite song on the album. Too bad they left it off of the CD I have.

PADDIE WAS much underated singer because she sang folk which was going out of favour ,but in any other field of music she would have been a great success such a pure soprano voice

I don't think folk was going out of favour, certainly not in Scotland. Everything else is fleeting, but this lasts. My feeling about Paddie from what I have read is that had after she left the trio to have a child and the CFT subsequently broke up, she never developed the self-confidence for a solo career. Even when she finally ventured a comeback, she didn't seem sure of her success. That the solo albums she made were nice but nothing that stood out was another problem. The selections were not purely folk, but neither were they pop. Also, she would have needed someone to market her, and I doubt she would have taken to that

@@Arkybark there is some truth in what you say. It should of course be remembered that Paddie had medical problems which complicated life for her. I had the great pleasure and privilege of being her accompanist on several gigs when she made her all to short ""comeback". She was an amazing lady, and one of the few people about whom nobody ever had a disparaging word to say. I still visit with her husband Sandy from time to time, and we natter about the old days.

@@renardgriseIt all depends on which period of his life we think, if we think of the young him he definitly deserved it. Him after 1750 didn't. After all he became a bitter and depressed fat alcoholic due to being unable to deal with the disappointment and guilt. Also his alcoholism caused him to become violent, paranoic and have rapid mood swings. At least he was able to get out of his decades long drepression after he moved back to Rome and stopped drinking in the last few years of his life and glimmers of the person he once was were able to appear again and he was able to develop a good relationship with his daugther and fix his relationship with his brother.

I think there's probably more sung about totalitarian politics figures with personality cults, like Stalin, Mao, or Kim Il Sung. Then if you count Jesus as a historical figure he'd definitely be in the running

Yes! Remember the victors write the history books. The way he is portrayed in modern media is a direct product of the hanoverian propaganda that was put out directly following Culloden. The govt isn't going to tell you the other dudes truth. Charlie was carrying out his whole life's mission. Had the chiefs not voted against him at derby they'd have attacked London. But alas. He tried. He was the rightful king an I find it disrespectful that we are supposed to believe our ancestors were a bunch of buffoons following an Italian toft. When they themselves were Germans. That everything that went wrong is his fault. Including Culloden which they didn't choose to fight on. To Murray turning back on the night march the night before Culloden right as Charlie's party got within ear shot of Cumberlands camp. He gets the blame for all of that. He even gets the blame for the clearances an acts of proscription. As if the English gold an Scottish lairds who betrayed their clansmen for that gold had nothing to do with it. Taking the Hanoverian govt off the hook for the butchery am cultural genocide of post Culloden highlands. Charles was doing exactly what he was supposed to be doing. He was a warrior prince. No buffoon, no Italian accent, he saw himself as British, had a British accent as he was tutored in the exiled Stuart court by English an Scots tutors. There's many a deliberate lie to smear him now well believed by modern Scots today an is sad to me. It was over Catholicism, the majority of the crank an file an a few of the leaders in the Jacobite army were non juring episcopalians. Protestant. They fought to dissolve the union an restore the Stuart monarchy.
