    I first listened to this in 1974 as a Highschool Freshman, and by graduation, I must have played it 5,000 times. The music and vocals are as perfect as can be.

    I also love clare torry's version of this tune. It's hard to believe a person can say so much without actually articulating words. You can literally taste the despair, regret, angst, lunacy; or is it just my own feelings reflected back by the music.

    It's sad that there had to be a law suite.
    However, in my opinion she deserved every penny she got.
    I firmly believe that this album would be much less the classic that it is, without this track.

    I was a 15 year old girl the first time I heard this song. I'm 48 now and it still moves me. I've heard many versions but Clare's still the best.

    Clare took a photograph of me at Stu Leathwood's funeral (The Koobas). I bet she treasures it.

    I don't know that she ever toured with them back in the early '70s when this album was released, but that would be some awesome footage - if it existed...

  • According to ...

    According to wikipedia, "She reprised her Pink Floyd appearance during a few 1980s concerts with Roger Waters' band, and also contributed to Waters' 1986 soundtrack When the Wind Blows and to his 1987 album Radio K.A.O.S.. She sang with the David Gilmour-led Pink Floyd at a 1990 concert at Knebworth."

    So maybe, probably, there's footage of her singing with at least two versions of the Floyd.

    I think it was more like $60 - or in England, £30. And she sued and won. It always goes back to money, sadly.

  • Is it true she was ...

    Is it true she was paid about 300.00 US, to track this....or even less, and then had to sue the boys to get some proper pay for laying down one of the best vocal solo performances I will take to my last breath? Hope she got paid in the end..job well done, I have never heard it done better.
