Anybody that listens to this and doesn't hear and feel the pain of a lost love, has never felt the pain of love at all.

When Ricki performs live and the audience is just right, she'll let you in with a spellbinding performance like this. No one in the world remotely like her.💗

Saw her do this back on SNL in 79. Went out and bought the cassette and fell in love with her music. Listening to this 42 years later moves me just as much as it did back then.

How is it Rickie was only 25 years old when she performed this song? Somber. Deep. That soulful sax. A masterpiece.

Ricki is the only singer, that can make a barely audible whisper make the hair on your neck stand up, and at the same time, evoke so much emotion....Incredible, unique and timeless talent.

Nuance! That is big. The difference between good music and great music, in my opinion, is nuance.
@echowalker2153

Yes nuance is that poetic ability to write in such a way that the listener/reader sees something new every time they 👂 or 👀. MS. Jones had that ability. So rare. J and b and me sounds close but it ain't the same...new meaning now that I look back. Wish I knew then what I kinda sorta know now. JB is still the essence of Coolsville. 1st love is just that way.

@ijustwannabe21 I like the darker stuff she does. Last Chance Texaco and this from her first album just blow me away. Company is good. So too "On Saturday Afternoons in 1963". Girl was a total hipster and belonged in the Beat era of the late fifties.

This is brilliant. I immediatley thought of Laura Nyro - and how her immensely personal songs became universal pop hits. In a diiferent time the same could have been true for Rickie Lee.
