JOE JACKSON Featuring ELAINE CASWELL- HAPPY ENDING (Audio Enhanced)
Рет қаралды 138,613
8 жыл бұрынA classic boy/girl duet with Joe Jackson on his Body & Soul LP....the sweet pop lalala's are offset with a lyrical dusting of longing and cynicism ... and Joe dressed in a pastiche of a Blue Note Sonny Rollins' sleeve and Miz E. in one of his suits ...

Joe Jackson is sheer genius. His ability as a modern-day composer is unsurpassed and his decision to do this work as a duet with the powerful female accompaniment of Elaine Caswell, truly rates this song as among his very best!

I listened Joe Jackson every day for the past two weeks it was a great pleasure but this song I have not listened to for 38 years. I don't understand how I could have forgotten it. It gave me great pleasure to listen to it again "waw effect" and it made me want to watch this masterpiece. it is magnificent what Joe Jackson has done for all of his work. his music has never left my ears and my heart since I discovered him in the early 80s.

Oh my goodness!!! Just about cried when I heard this incredibly nostalgic and brilliant song after 38 years. Forgot all about it until it popped up on my Spotify. Freaked out big time. Thank you for your brilliant vocals Elaine - I could barely make those high notes as I was cleaning the house (albeit slightly out of tune!! :) Superb job with Joe. I am a happy girl today, thank you!

Guess what: this song will still sound fresh in 2080, if anyone lives up to see that year despite the "work" of the moronic chemistry, automoblie, energy and pharma industry, or whatever shit will have come up by then.

What a gorgeous, sweet, poignant duet you did with Joe Jackson 40 years ago! Hearing Night and Day changed my life and his follow-up Body and Soul was an equally brilliant album that showcases his songwriting chops. Happy Ending was a true highlight.

I cant believe how much this siong still resonates with people…it was supposed to be the single with an accompanying video ,all live footage in Rotterdam..pretty cool..but Joe wouldn’t release the video after he wrote an ‘ anti’-video’ letter to Billboard ..at that time MTV was huge and that would kill a song ..oh well.that wasn;t a happy ending bit the song lives on & Im for ever grateful for having the opportunity to work with a great artist like Joe Jackson. I will forever be a fan .
