I think Peter Sarstedt played bass in his brother's band: Eden Kane [i.e. Richard Sarstedt] & the Downbeats.

The look of love. Beautiful song, beautifully sung.

I chose this last year for my 94 year old aunt's funeral - she used to holiday in the South of France in the 50s through to the early 70s when foreign travel was unheard of for most of us. Very cool song.

Her delivery was sublime. The story behind the recording of Dusty in Memphis is well worth looking up if you don't already know it. And this track from that album is a favourite - check out the snare accent, on the two every second bar. Makes the song move beautifully.

Yup, Dusty was a one off. Always been a fan of her, but singing this song in particular, and gone are the days when all a solo had to do was mimic the vocal melody line. Same as on Girl from Ipanema, understated, but so perfect.

Fleetwood Mac  - Need your love so bad

Another amazing love song by Syd Barrett, but this time a really beautiful and not silly at all one (first take guitar solo by the way, by Syd as well, that fitted in perfectly when played back and in reverse, which gives is a unique haunting quality that fits the track perfectly), from his second solo album :

May be a Love Song about relationship with Heroin but love song just the same

and one of my favorites overall

 

Also some nice Bass playing by a favorite Fernando Saunders
