Today Mary gets a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022 RTE Radio 1 Folk Awards. So richly deserved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I first heard Mary Black singing in the Synge Street clubhouse in 76 or 77.I had just bought the Mcgarrigle Sisters first LP and I thought their rendition of Heart like a wheel exquisite.
That Summer’s evening Mary sang two songs unaccompanied and surpassed the Mcgarrigles.
Her singing is seraphic……a national treasure!!!

Great version of a wonderful Sandy Denny song

[@patrickambrose5372]

An exquisite voice, and backed by master musicians!

[@bobatkins9162]

Absolutely beautiful, surely the definitive version of the song, I always thought Mary never received the aclaim she deserved in England.

[@billbaggins1688]

I like it. But you know, Sandy Denny, hard to beat.

[@glennsmusicchannel]

Sandy Denny wrote this song, and never released it in her lifetime. So great to hear this treatment of it.

[@paulhennessy5627]

Goosebumps every time I hear her voice. And singing this... so sublime

[@janefriel6895]

Mary Black sings every note.Beautiful woman. A fabulous talent.☘

All class.......to the 8 thumbs down people.......you have no souls......hope you find them soon.....🇦🇺

Wow, what an intense performance. I saw Mary at Mansfield, Notts many years ago and what a performance. Also more recently at Leicester with Sharon Shannon as support. What a fantastic combination. Brilliant singer.

pure genious ! amazing ! mary black's voice and the way she uses it's warm soul is just magical ! i feel blessed to be able to listen to this !

[@feargalhogan4178]

An Irish woman, singing a song penned by an English woman, accompanied by Irish, Scottish and American musicians and singers. And the whole thing nigh on perfect

[@robertm7071]

Sandy Denny’s more wistful version is also on CZcams. Do listen to it and do Sandy justice by remembering her. Such a pure and ethereal voice yet silenced all too early.

[@beckygrajeda2402]

Denny's demo of this song always makes me cry. It gets at a nostalgia for me that I can't quite explain -- and I love it for that.

[@portcullis5622]

Nice energetic cover of one of Sandy Denny's lesser known songs-she not only had a fabulous voice,she was also a wonderful songwriter.

[@hang-sangitch]

What a beautiful song and a fabulous performance. Instruments and voices ❤️

[@brendanseanbarry]

So much music in one song

[@robinion3093]

Superb version of a lovely song

[@hellitastenfan]

Hi,...it´s a fantastic cover with great musicians.

[@lawrencebraun7050]

This is great. I love Sandy's demo version of it on the double album and also, there's an amazing version by Yo La Tengo that is beautiful

[@astromystic]

Mary at her most beautiful (although she has so many beautiful looks). She sure knows how to get her bandmates fired up and crank up the energy! I love how Mary can be so self-contained, yet able to express so much emotional power through her songs.

Nice take on a Sandy Denny classic.

[@keziahj]

Thank you!

The irish eyes have it

[@kalt5532]

My favorite version is the cover by Ke Grivois for the 1993 movie "Grief." But this is good, too.

[@steveunderdahl8929]

I love her version of this wonderful song! Is there a name for that little yip she does before the first chorus? It so perfect! She performs this with such feeling. And of course....EmmyLou!

[@janefriel6895]

The man next to Mary Declan Sinnott wrote the song.I feel the whole production is exciting. The yip maybe what we call here in Ireland the " lilt "
