- A classic boy/girl duet with Joe Jackson on his Body & Soul LP....the sweet pop lalala's are offset with a lyrical dusting of longing and cynicism ... and Joe dressed in a pastiche of a Blue Note Sonny Rollins' sleeve and Miz E. in one of his suits ...
- Hudba
Joe Jackson is sheer genius. His ability as a modern-day composer is unsurpassed and his decision to do this work as a duet with the powerful female accompaniment of Elaine Caswell, truly rates this song as among his very best!
Just bought this single on vinyl, another gem, in my collection !
懐かしい〜！
これは初めて見た！
ジョーが大好きであの頃…
One of the best male/female duets ever !!
A whole album of this would have been perfection.
Elaine! I’ve loved this song for 40 years and I’m so happy I can tell you this. Your voice adds so much to this brilliant song. ❤
このバ---ジョンの映像は何なんですか??84年から今まで一回も見た事がないです‼️これは運命の神の采配と言うべきモノか⁉️今の私の心は幸せで一杯です‼️
Why am I suddenly 35 years younger
Vincent Carrot; Isn't it amazing how Joe Jackson's music always makes you feel that way. Well said Sir!
Their voices compliment each other so well.
2019 and still this song sounds fresh! Love it :*
Guess what: this song will still sound fresh in 2080, if anyone lives up to see that year despite the "work" of the moronic chemistry, automoblie, energy and pharma industry, or whatever shit will have come up by then.
A wonderful mid 80’s gem from the incredible Joe Jackson. Great duet.
Oh my goodness!!! Just about cried when I heard this incredibly nostalgic and brilliant song after 38 years. Forgot all about it until it popped up on my Spotify. Freaked out big time. Thank you for your brilliant vocals Elaine - I could barely make those high notes as I was cleaning the house (albeit slightly out of tune!! :) Superb job with Joe. I am a happy girl today, thank you!
One of my alltime favourite female voices, together with the legendary Joe Jackson!! Love this track!!
England can be proud of this great artist. (from Italy).
I listened Joe Jackson every day for the past two weeks it was a great pleasure but this song I have not listened to for 38 years. I don't understand how I could have forgotten it. It gave me great pleasure to listen to it again "waw effect" and it made me want to watch this masterpiece. it is magnificent what Joe Jackson has done for all of his work. his music has never left my ears and my heart since I discovered him in the early 80s.
I can't believe only 14,600 views. We need to share this treasure. Digging Elaine's eye makeup in this video.
Just ran across this song the other day. Blew me away. Elaine sure holds her own on this one.
What a great song after all these years! One of the best examples of two voices which together make that 1+1 become 3! Masterpiece!
Excellent tune that never received the attention and airplay or should have.
pretty popular in my homeland...
Voor mij is dit het mooiste duet wat er ooit is gemaakt. Klasse!!!
I already enjoyed. When I heard this Elaine's voice blew me away when I first listened to it when I brought the vinyl home. This song would feature as a bookmark on events in my life.
Same - from a very Bohemian period of my lfe...
Now this is a cracking song! Loved it in 84 and I still love it in 2020 during a pandemic. Now gonna search for Loisadia!
In my view one of his best songs. Great duet with Elaine.
The extremely Talented and Beautiful Elaine Caswell
Ah, I loved this and bought the single at the time. I was gutted when it missed the Top 40. One of my faves of '84. :-)
I absolutely love this music.I still listen at least once a week.
Pop & Jazz ; always a good combo!!!!!
☮💞What a visionary song... reminds me of George Orwell´s 1984... the content is soooo up-to-date in these crazy days full of fear, hate, lies, manipulation, fake news etc.... the real and only thruth is... WE ALL WANT A HAPPY ENDING 🥰😍 Thank you for this video .... and greetings from Germany.
Still love this song
この人天才だな。
Always loved this, one of the best duets I've heard. Every second of this is perfect, absolutely love it!
Without this amazing female voice-which is outstanding-this whole song wouldn't work at all... what a tiny big lady! Thanks ELAINE, this is superb... ( just 2 days away from a Joe Jackson concert in Berlin/ Germany )...shall I stay ( at home ) or shall I really going out with him...? :)
One of my fave song in '85..
84…
A mon enterrement il y aura cette chanson
What a gorgeous, sweet, poignant duet you did with Joe Jackson 40 years ago! Hearing Night and Day changed my life and his follow-up Body and Soul was an equally brilliant album that showcases his songwriting chops. Happy Ending was a true highlight.
I cant believe how much this siong still resonates with people…it was supposed to be the single with an accompanying video ,all live footage in Rotterdam..pretty cool..but Joe wouldn’t release the video after he wrote an ‘ anti’-video’ letter to Billboard ..at that time MTV was huge and that would kill a song ..oh well.that wasn;t a happy ending bit the song lives on & Im for ever grateful for having the opportunity to work with a great artist like Joe Jackson. I will forever be a fan .
Always a fan of Joe's,your voice is amazing on this❤
J'adore cette chanson.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great song and a great duet by Joe and Elaine . I love her hat !
曲名がわからなくてずっと探していたのがやっと見つかった。
This is perfection!
It's amazing how music has the power to bring memories to life. 'Happy Ending' will always hold a special place in my heart.
Thank you for this! I was 6 years old.
1984年にリリースされたこの曲。
かの有名なジョージ・オーウェルの小説タイトルと同年代というのに、意味深いものを感じます
What a beatyful, wonderful song❤❤❤❤
Beautiful duo, amazing song.
an exceptional piece with a duo of singers who agree wonderfully well, the sound of the video is just excellent.
What a sound, and what a sound on the whole album. Pure JJ magic, not a wrinkle not far from 40 yrs later.
Beautiful
Love this song 💟💟💟
Great song. I can't help thinking of The Wiggles when I look at Joe's band.
Permanent place on my playlist! One of the best duets ever!
What a truly inspirational song
I love you both and this song
Some really great close ups on Elaine, and of course, fabulous vocals too. Thanks for posting.
I've sang this song for years, so glad to find your channel Elaine and enjoy this great video!
Fantastic song from a fantastic album. Check out all of Body and Soul
Great song/duet, and especially when Elaine comes in with the 2nd verse - love it :)
I don t understand how this beautiful song has only 48 k views !
Exaltant.
Elaine! What a perfect caption you have for a perfect song--one of my favorites after all these years!
What a fabulous video. Love this song so and to find it has a video to wonderfully present it is a gift. Elaine, you are so beautiful and talented. I wish you the best.
This song is an unsung masterpiece! I love the sax and horn solo, too.
unsung?
What a beautiful song 😍🥰😘
What a stange clash of fashions there. Still, easily one of Jackson's best songs (beaten out for me only by 'Hometown').
俺はこの曲を何千回聞けば飽きるのだろうか？ 1:55 からサックスのところが好きでいつもリピートしちゃいます
憶測ですが､貴方の人生終わる日迄ずっと聴き続ける事になるでしょう。
それ程迄にこの曲は魅力的だから｡
私は1984年から今に至るまでずっとこの曲に囚われたままです。
such a great song and performance
Stunning
Fantastici!!
Onorato, Elaine!
Celestial
He,s billiant still
Snapshot from my life

This song sounds like it belongs in a Broadway musical.
Pour toi mon frère tout là haut
Just lovely.🙂
Awesome gig forever

Love This Song! Artsy, but not, you know...
Right! It's kind of Broadway too.
Absolutely brilliant!
Excellent

How is this NOT great...
A red mushrom !
How tall is Joe?
Great song and awesome performance. Autotune BTFO
Smiling and happy in a video? Playing instruments? What’s up with this?
It is a televised pre-recorded live performance. We had a lot of these before we knew any better.
Hatte sie den Hut von Boy George geklaut? Ich glaube es nicht!
i don't understand her outfit, but elaine caswell otherwise looks and sounds great
Is she really singing songs with him?
Why??? Do I keep thinking: Penny and Sheldon?
yeah that's on you dude
Warum läuft sie herum wie ein chinesischer Mandarin ?
Elaine > Celine
Hearing it again - no, the guy at the bottom of the page was quite right - this is an absolutely dreadful song.
Is that Graham Maby on bass in the background?
