Poor tragic Alma was at one time the highest paid female recording artiste in Britain and topped the annual NME reader's poll as "Outstanding British Female Singer" four times between 1956 and 1960. Like so many of her generation her popularity declined in the 60s but the Beatles were good friends and it has been strongly suggested that although eight years his senior she had a "strong romance" with John Lennon. Paul McCartney first played the melody of "Yesterday" on Alma's piano and indeed she subsequently covered the song. In 1966, in failing health, she collapsed during a tour of Sweden and later died from ovarian cancer.

Crikey I saw her live in the early 60s at some theatre in Blackpool where she was doing a summer season |

Sounds as if she was as brilliant as Dusty, but her rise into the rock genre was sadly cut short...
A better audio ....of her cover of Ticket To Ride..

Brilliant version of Gimme Shelter from Patti, LK - I notice that she turned 69 the other day. The guitar intro though seems to resemble more that from Jumping Jack Flash. I can never understand why the Stones never made it into a single - perhaps the lyrics were thought to be a little too dark....even for them. Come to think of it, their singles were almost always non-album tracks (in the UK sense) - though Aftermath was an exception.
I've always liked this version from U2 and two rather special guest vocalists:

Not too shabby o' lineup!
