Listening to a music compilation of suggested tracks I came across Kristina Train and was rather taken by this :

Great voice! The video had me for a moment as I thought the actress was Inger Stevens, who was on Hang 'Em High with Clint Eastwood, but the actress is actually Catherine Deneuve.

That was great, but it has me jumping back in time and place, so I've got my French hat on (and I may have to go run my 'Mistral'

Listening to some of my favourite French female singers.  While it's a cover of the incomparable Barbara, this rendition of 'Göttingen' by Julie Fuchs is beautiful, just right to slow you down after work.  I so want to be sitting outside a lovely French Cafe, sipping my coffee right now

Unfortunately, I can't access your video.

Wonder if it's this one

Something else that popped up whilst I was listening to my Daily Recommendation from Tidal.

I like this but I'm not at all sure what others will make of it. It's a band with an interesting but chequered history.

Just one thing.........stick with it :

I'm glad you wrote that, or I'd have swerved it after a couple of minutes. Some great harmonies, she has a powerful voice. The guitar sound wasn't right for me - I think it may have sounded better on a Les Paul

In a word "fabulous"! Guitar was fine for me (Gibson E175 semi-acoustic - I think).

PS Catherine Deneuve of course @kusojiji ! I thought she was someone I should know from the music video but couldn't think who. Does anyone remember the film "The Hunger"? Still working today at 82 - following a mild stroke.

The only two Lighthouse songs I know.

Not a band I know @kusojiji , but a quick check on the internet revealed a surprise in that their sax player went on to become a sought after film soundtrack composer namely Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings etc.). I preferred the first song.

Tim

Same here. Not a band I am at all familiar with.

It won't make any playlists of mine but very listenable.

Thank you for sharing.

A selection of 'Broken Peach' who @Trainfish put me onto.
Here's one in 'plain clothes' i.e. not in costume. Some very good harmonies

I did not know that. Pretty cool!

A selection of old (in some cases, very old) Genesis including this quite rarely played track which I happen to have on 45

Love this...
