Powerful voice and song. Entered the UK Top 40 shortly before Christmas 1986 and blew up big after the turn of year,going on to spend three weeks at number 5 between the middle of January and start of February 1987. The last,unfortunately,of her major hits,it attained her highest chart position,beating Pearl's a Singer,Sunshine After the Rain,Lilac Wine,Don't Cry Out Loud (all 1977-78) and her cover of Chris Rea's Fool if You Think It's Over (1982).

@@ljanery6749emotional pain is often difficult to understand and explain, it’s something we may have but just can’t get to the bottom of. Song lyrics often put into words emotions that we have been feeling but can’t explain especially to ourselves. Music, the medium for the lyrics , is one of the greatest mood enhancers - either up or down. It nearly always helps us in difficult times.

She has had considerable recognition and success. Until Adele, Elkie was the biggest selling British female artist in the US. That's for almost four decades.
