One of my favorite ballads sung by one of England's finest singer-songwriters, Sandy Denny. More info on Sandy can be found at these various sites: en.wikipedia.o... en.wikipedia.o... en.wikipedia.o...
Thanks to Sandy Denny tho gone too soon her songs still and will forever bring beauty to the world . Long time fan , Tom Daytona Beach , FL . 29, March 2024 .
Which Fairport are you referring to? The Fairport of Thompson, Nicole, Hutchings, Lamble/Mattacks,Swarbrick never slipped up with regard to giving Denny room to be heard. I would say they were very deferential - even when she shared the vocals with Ian Macdonald. Fairport Mark 1 should never be confused with later 'Fairports'.
So interesting reading the comments of long time fans! I don't know her work well enough, but I do love how the other singers and players complement her. The image that comes to mind is of a brilliant white diamond set in a black velvet box, opened to the light
she is the one, Sandy Denny is THE singer for me , such a pure voice...simply the best
Pure voice, that's it really ♥
Beautiful song, and well done on the photos of Sandy - the best I have seen - what a gorgeous woman she was!
The song itself is wonderful and Sandy Denny brings me to tears. Thanks.
What beautiful images of the Wonderful Sandy Denny, thank you 💖
A million and one versions of this song....and who's got the one? You guessed it...SD Spectacular!
This is real class, beautiful.
Heard Kate Rusby sing this last night, but I had to come back to the definitive version...
I'll have to give that a listen, thank you
I do feel for the other female folk singers. They do their best, but you can't improve on perfection.

enjoying the beautiful natural scenery while listening to music it feels very cool in my heart ... thank you for the music..
This is really beautiful
love this! Thank you.
Really beautiful version of this song. By far the best I’ve ever heard. Nice visuals. Pictures of Suilven etc. We have no bears in Scotland though. !
There is a white bear on a private estate there; will have to try to remember whose....
I've got all the bears here around me in these mountains

So moving .

Wonderful Sandy. Great version. Byrds also made a fine version of this song. Love both versions
She was a treasure
Precious
I love the way Trevor and the others aren't trying to compete with her voice or the song. Think that's where Fairport slipped up at times.
Such a good point!

Perfection in an imperfect world.
