I just discovered this singer. I’m on a binge. Thank God for YouTube. No one ages here or goes away. They are constantly brand new to any generation. This dear lady is phenomenal…..meaningfully sincere and all with an angels voice.

Barbara Dickson has one of the clearest, most pure voices I've ever heard. My dad loves her and when I was a little girl, I used to love singing along to her - a real Scottish Treasure.

I was fortunate enough to see Barbara Dickson playing the lead in Blood Brothers 3 times in the 1980s. She made the musical.

I saw it too. I always thought Barbara was good... but she was amazing in Blood Brothers.

If you just read the lyrics, this song is fairly simple, but hearing Barbara Dickson sing it (plus the musical arrangement) - it's absolutely stunning! Wow - sensational!

@TomIdelson

she's just so good, isn't she? her voice is so natural- it seems like she just opens her mouth and it comes out.. so beautifully.. so effortless.. Amazing!

@mistyo2158

Her voice when she sings this song gives me goosebumps time and time again...I've seen Blood Brothers three times yet sadly am too young to have seen it with her in which I bitterly regret but I was born in 1990.

I've never been so moved by any song in a lifetime of going to the theatre. I saw Barbara Dickson many times when she was still part-time on the Scottish folk scene and now I can sing with her at Mass since we belong to the same parish. 🎵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥰

@DerekRoss1958

1y↑6

Yes, Annette. And the question is "Why hasn't Blood Brothers been made into a movie?". Good question.

@JoshBilo

1y↑5

Willy Russell has always been adamant that he wouldn’t let Blood Brothers become a film. The writing and story lends itself to stage, and wouldn’t transfer across well on to film e.g the same actors playing Mickey and Eddie all the way through their lives, the narrator appearing throughout, just things that would seem out of place in terms of a movie and would lessen the emotional impact and shock the story has on you, and tbh I fully agree.

I saw Barbara sing this at the opening night of Blood Brothers at the Liverpool Playhouse more years ago than i care to admit to. I cried then and have cried every other time (about15) i've seen it....... STILL my favourite musical of all time. Wish there was a movie.

I went to see this musical for the first time ever yesterday and I just couldn't believe how good it was. The storyline was fantastic, the songs were beautiful, the set was amazingly interpurated into every scene and there were lots of hilarious parts in the middle. Then I cried my eyes out at the end. I just want to go and see it over and over again. Definatly the best musical I've ever been to.

@joycehunter3676

The astounding vocal genius of Barbara Dixon and a wonderfully emotional song beautifully written and delivered. All things considered, a perfect 3 minutes 22 seconds of music.

@rogergibbins5775

I saw the early performance of Blood Brothers in Liverpool many years ago and whilst I am sure no one would suggest Barbara has a classic voice she clearly echoed the pain of loss of a loved one. The audience was in tears and perhaps was appropriate for a city that lost so many loved ones at Hillsborough. I have seen other singers perform this song but Barbara's version did I think reflect the tough times evident in the city and many others of the era

@FelisTerras

I went to see Blood Brothers in London..my friends were totally shocked when I broke into tears at this part..since I'm not prone to cry in public -or at all. But then again, it was splendidly acted out, and just imaginating the mother's pain at this point about broke my heart. The tune got stuck in my brain the first time I heard it; so ty for putting it up!^^

My 2nd favourite musical of all time (after Little Shop of Horrors). This song gets me every time - I worked as an usherette (as we were called then) at a theatre many years ago when Linda Nolan played the Mum character and I cried at every performance. Willy Russell is a genius (The Wrong Boy is one of my favourite ever books).

Saw Blood Brothers in Sydney in '89 with Chrissy Amphlette & Russell Crowe. One of the best musicals ever and Chrissy's performance was superlative. Makes me teary-eyed just hearing the music again.

@johnking6550

There is an audio recording on youtube of Chrissy and the ensemble doing this song. The recording quality is not the best but one can get a sense of just how beautiful her voice was. Chrissy was quite unique. jtk

Sadly, it appears to have been recently removed but I get a rush of emotion just watching the short tv spot.

You've obviously not seen Barbara playing the part. I've not seen any other actress come anywhere near her portrayal... the critics raved about her performance and with just cause. Even Willy Russell has admitted that she was the definitive Mrs Johnstone.
