Lulu - Cry Me a River

Lulu with Jeff Beck, Peter King (sax),
Jon Cleary (piano).
This came from Red White & Blues: www.pbs.org/theblues/aboutfilm...
The live Abbey Road sessions were the best part of the dvd but unfortunately there wasn't enough material included on it and a lot of it was cut.

I love Lulu singing this. Her 75th Birthday today I think. What a legend and Jeff Beck and everyone on here. Sublime

[@BagginsAtSea]

What a gem - and what a jam. Lulu's voice was never in doubt right back to 'Shout' but with these musicians on Scorsese's Blues set. Simply magic.

[@scorpianred]

This is just the best. Love Lulu and this version

[@MichaelBriggs-dc3yz]

Embarrassed to say I never heard of her until 2 weeks ago. So nice!

[@jazzamoureux]

It simply does not get any better than this!

[@Juelda]

One of the best versions I have ever heard of this song!!

[@jiftupop]

Absolutely beautiful . I' m speechless .

[@CelticFrostFan]

My mom went to high school with her in Glasgow. Said she was a really nice girl. Awesome song.

I might have already posted a comment about this video. But, an update is mandatory. The song had my rapt attention at the instrumental intro. I hear immaculate jazz guitar, and look for someone who's well-known a master at it. But, when I focus on the guitarist in the background, I see the late Jeff Beck. What? The rock music player? Oh, heck yeah, I missed that one alright. After playing his rock and other guitar styles for years, he said jazz guitar--or something more-specifically known as 'jazz fusion'--was a natural next step. Bravo. Great job. It couldn't have been any better. Now, as to the lead vocal by Lulu, it would have been a shame to start with a great guitar part like this, thenahave it get a flat tire on the vocal. Not to worry. This is a brilliant performance in every way, exhuding an utterly haunting vocal, with everything packed so tight, you couldn't sneak in a micro-trace of unwanted residue if you sprayed it with a whole can of WD40. Thank you one and all for your rendition of this song. It's either going to drift me off to a blissful sleep, or have me up all night, wondering what might have happened, if I'd never heard it. RIP Jeff Beck. I wish I could have had a few guitar lessons from you.

[@gmanjam]

wow, this was a real gem. who would have thought that the gal who made the pop hit "To Sir With Love" could belt out such a soulful jazz rendition of "Cry Me A River?" i love it!!!

[@jennyrust7]

RIP JEFF BECK. Your talent 🎉is amazing

[@ASTROHOTROD]

Just found this and again,,you are the one lady.

[@ThinPicks]

Beautiful, I saw this on TV years ago. What a beautiful vibrato she's got in her voice, and a great sax solo too. They also had Tom Jones singing Love Letters Straight From Your Heart, also amazing.

[@railwalker1]

Who Knew ? I just happened up on this--she looks fantastic and her Voice is the perfect blend of strength and weariness this song needs..She's sure not sweet,little Petula Clark thinking her teacher anymore--she's got bigger and better things to sing about now..Thanks for Posting this.I'll be looking for her now..

[@Burnsomatic]

Wonderful. Such wonderful musicians! All.

[@fathairyarab]

outstanding no other words can describe.

[@KempyClassic]

Fan Tas Tic! Lulu, Simply wonderfull darlin. You do Scotland PROUD!

[@ThisIsRuthie]

I love Lulu.

[@AZDynamics]

Masterpiece.

[@mickknight6963]

Never heard before, nice. And there's John Cleary.....✌️

[@acadianscorpio]

I only knew her from to sir with love,this is a great song. Thank you jemf999.

[@dafsaer]

Holy shit! Where did that come from? I just did a search for John Cleary, who I love. Just done a few gigs with a drummer who played with him in NO years ago when he'd just moved from the UK. They say everyone in the world is just 5 people removed from everyone else. Not that that's relevant... but what a bunch of musicians! Superb, and boy can Lulu sing.

[@Allergie66]

wow, so good

[@Chris.Biard42]

great!!!! Chris

[@GenericGene]

Beautiful Lulu - Great Post jemf999

[@tellit2]

Glasgow's finest,a blue eyed bomb shell

ジェフの優しいギター🎸Nice

I use Real player to download the videos. You can burn off to audio cd with the freebie version, or if you subscribe you can convert to mp3. I noticed there's an advert on this page now for a converter - probably because of your request. AVS converter.

[@Kramkat]

Class. . .. "gaun yersel' hen' X

[@pkappel006]

yes she really put lots into this tune....what I can't figure out how LuLu got ahold of a Iowa State Cylone t-shirt when she lives half way across the world in england??? Oh well, I live in Minnesota which is right below us state wise.........

[@jemf999]

No more songs together - on this DVD anyway, unfortunately.

[@waynebrasler]

Arrangement very close to the Julie London original; vocal totally different. Lulu has always taken every song and made it her own. She is immensly talented.

[@mufasamusic]

All these fools arguing about Lulu...who cares? This song is all about jeff Beck.

[@ThinPicks]

I hardly think so.

[@lindastarr1551]

Arguing? No one's arguing. And it's about ensemble anyway.

[@thewordofgord]

brits and the blues...

[@DWNicolo]

So you have never heard of the song To Sir With Love? To bad so sad.

[@jemf999]

That's the sort of comment you see scrawled on public lavatories. Comments have already been passed soiling Lulu's name without enlarging on the circumstances and when she's not here to defend herself. Public defamation often has to do with jealousy and plastering more and more insults of this type all over this section in dirty language makes it all less credible. Enough is enough.

[@sonwamac]

Yeah...she sounds good...Lulu is underated...Dusty Springfield (of whom I'm a major fan)was always the most celebrated of the British "soul" singers in the 60s but she didn't have quite as much "grit" as this lady

[@RamblinGirl57]

Well Lulu has never done anything to me I just say it's all about the music sit back listen and enjoy!

[@lucyblue1951]

Voce calda e graffiante, interpretazione adorabile, anche per la parte strumentale.Qualcuno saprebbe dirmi dove trovo notizie di Lulu?

[@titchport1]

Good example of fine whiskey matured and got sexier with age.

[@viking199k]

I agree the American Idol gig was the wrong style. She sang To Sir on PBS Britsh Beat like the original only better. She just keeps getting better. She sings so much better than Simpson & Spears it's not even in the same league. Lulu will you meet me in Palm Springs?

[@camlerer]

Get the original Julie London version ... nobody does it better.

[@Karcsubey]

terryclary Hey! Don't forget Diana Krall......

[@jonpetry]

Beautiful but this song is owned by Julie London

[@gayboylaca]

I wish she could sing it fast with soul "Joe Cocker" style.

[@marijuanabe]

this is so delicious...

[@peters855]

a very close 2nd to julie london and a better back up band

[@trumpetbeek]

Does Jeff Beck dye his hair or is that a German WW2 helmet?

[@jackdoebler3531]

SIGH.............

[@jemf999]

I've deleted a lot of irrelevant comments between what appears to be a gang-up anti-Lulu group of loonies and I've left a few to reveal the personalities behind. You're blocked, like your mates.
