I’ve had the original concept LP since it came out, 40+ years ago. Some wonderful songs. My late brother, Chris, loved it too. He worked with Maggie in Panto. Thanks for posting.

I just bought this on vinyl, after searching for info re this for 40 years, since I heard it in my 20s & bought the album...

One of my favorites of Lynn's. I watch the Starsky and Hutch episode that this is in a lot. I was 13 when it came out. My mom had just gotten the album.❤

Absolutely a timeless classic. Very moving lyrics and sung beautifully. My favourite is Orange County its such a warm welcoming song

One of must beautiful songs ❤️

BACK AGAIN in 2022 to restate the OBVIOUS.......this is PRISTINE POP @IT'S BEST!!!. Shhhhh...don't ALERT Gay, she'll only get upset!. Besides, she's probably got her mouth full given her monika!!.

Love Marti Webb but she did have to sing some crappy songs..and this is one of them.'Getting It Right ' she didn't.

"too big for Spotify"... that's why we need to rip it off youtube.

What a singer What a song Great POWER

Starsky e Hutch

SUPER

👏🏻❤

That fairground synth organ sound with reverb, the strong backing vocals, the workman drums, and a killer vocal on top. Another "written and produced by Alan Tarney" great! Unfortunately, this single doesn't seem to be on any Elkie Brooks album and you can't (?) buy a download or stream it 😢. Take my money, Ms. Brooks! (Update: it's on her UK greatest hits CD "Master Series"released by A&M.) Check out "Once in a While" by Leo Sayer (and Cliff Richards') version. ALAN TARNEY!

this song went to #12 on the country charts in 1977!!!

am here for starsky

Beautiful Music.1+1 MTat

Peter Oliver (ex-New Seekers) recorded one of the best tracks on this album, Sleeping Like A Baby Now.

I've still got this on a 7'' single, at the time I just had to buy it, so haunting and so dramatic. His vocals and the amazing backing singers, this should have been a hit! Think it's so much better than Making Up Again.

This song would be fabulous for the "Dot Cotton sings" collection ...

A great song - one of my favourites from Elkie!

This was my very 1st country album I Purchased at the age of 14

I still have my single of this. It was played on Radio One at the time but sadly was not a hit. A good song that still sounds just as good.

1st country album I ever bought at the age of 15

Love it 40years

R I P Always will love your music.

omg omg omg I lost the album but remember every lyric. thank you for the upload.

One of my favourites!

This track is actually available on CD -tucked away on an A&M compliation of Elk`s hits called the Master Series (1997)-along with a few other singles "B" side gems that have rarely (if ever) featured on CD. It was deliberately recorded in mono by Alan Tarney I`ve read..and have never heard of a stereo version

Written by Smokie for Racey

Still have the same opinion, reinforced each time i hear it, POP CLASSIC!.

Smokie- cover ?

Should have been a hit indeed !!! annoying that the single was in mono.

you can hear this song in "Starsky & Hutch" Episode "Long Walk Down a Short Dirt Road" Season 2

Love this song! Dedicated to the one I LOVE .

RIP Lynn!Gone much too soon!

I love this track - weirdly not available anywhere to buy, and my (knackered) 7" is a MONO pressing; lovely to hear it in stereo - thank you!

GREAT pop toon.... should indeed have been a hit. As for "Gayalert"?....save y breath dearie.....WE'RE EVERYWHERE!!.

Dull

I love this song:)

Thanks for posting this never heard anymore gem!

What a great song! Love the way Marti hits the high notes at around 2:40 and at the song's climax.

I bought the album back in the seventies. And for some reason never forgot this particular tune about the agony aunt with problems of her own. So beautifully sung by Maggie Moon.

the show was called Dear Anyone castalbums.org/shows/Dear-Anyone/1844/

I've had the album since it was released....some really good songs.

He played great records; Crazy on You by Heart, Black Rose by Sad Cafe, Harden My Heart by Quarterflash etc etc

Written by Tony McAuley and Don Black.

This is a great song and I so glad you posted it. Been looking for this for ages and never thought it would be here.

my name is evan o'hare. i recorded 10. Don't stop him if you've heard it, the little boy speaking.. i think this could be one of the first forms of rap.. it was an experience that has never left me, . Don Black is not only genius but generous and a power house of talent. when i grow up i want to be just like him.the album is a time capsul. elaine stritch!! thanks for letting me talk a bit on this album.

if anyone has the "not that kind of girl" album, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE upload. thanks

Quiet an amazing cast list really, but a bit on the heavy side, worth the listen though.
