Phil was surely one of the most creative and talented writers to be linked to the heavy rock scene .He was a lyricist without a peer and he was capable of writing successfully over a wide and varied scope of modern popular musical fields .IE From folk to heavy rock and from melodic ballads to high energy songs .Add to this his 'star' quality and his abilities as a front man performer and band leader/ visionary , then we begin to realise what a force Phil was .His music lives on !

Trivia buffs: of the four people seen miming here on TOTP, only one - Thin Lizzy's main man, Philip Lynott - is on the actual recording of the song that you hear. The drummer in the video is Clive Edwards, who was playing with the British rock band Wild Horses at the time, while the drums on the actual song are played by New York City's Mark Nauseef, who collaborated on a number of songs with Lynott. All of the guitars on the song are played by the Belfast guitar legend, Gary Moore, yet the two guitarists in the video are Lizzy's Scott Gorham and Dave Flett, the latter of whom replaced Moore briefly in the band and had also played with Manfred Mann's Earth Band in the seventies. Finally, if you listen very closely, you will hear a bluesy harmonica being played in the background. No harmonica player is seen in the video, but what you hear is being played by none other than Huey Lewis, who went on to have major success in the US in the eighties with his band Huey Lewis and the News. Cheers!

Phil actually wrote another song years before, also called "Sarah," which was about his grandmother who had raised him when he was seven years old. The version on Black Rose was written about, yes, his daughter who in turn was named for his grandmother. There is also the rare harmonica here, performed by Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis & the News fame. By this time, Lewis's previous group, Clover (who had opened for Thin Lizzy a few times after moving to Britain from San Francisco to find more success), had broken up, with Lewis and keyboardist Sean Hopper forming a new band called Huey Lewis & the News, while guitarist and fiddler John McFee joined the Doobie Brothers to replace Jeff "Skunk" Baxter.

Baby Sarah is now 40+. It's great that even her younger sister Kathleen got her own song from their dad ... … and just for the record, the song is called "Sarah" from Thin Lizzy's 1979 album named "Black Rose" (I have the original vinyl version) 😊.
@ClassicTVMan1981X
2 жыл бұрын
What's confusing is that he had written another song called "Sarah" for Thin Lizzy's second album Shades of a Blue Orphanage (the title of that album, released in 1972, was a homage to founding guitarist Eric Bell's and drummer Brian Downey's previous groups, Shades of Blue and Orphanage, respectively); in that case, the subject of the song was about his grandmother, who took up raising Phil at age seven, after his mom had been constantly ridiculed for doing so. That is why this 1979 song is sometimes called "My Sarah."
@kallek919
2 жыл бұрын
You are right that the song "Sarah" is on "Shades of a Blue Orphanage" from 1972 but when you follow the link from that album you get, confusingly enough, the same song. If it's a completely different "Sarah" song from 1972, it's hard to find. In any case, "Sarah" on "Black Rose" is at least undoubtedly dedicated to his daughter. The daughter's mother was apparently very careful that even the little sister Kathleen would also get a specific song dedicated to her, which as you know happened on one of Phil's solo albums. If you happen to know how to reach the song from 1972, I'm very interesting to hear it.
