  1. Anybody see the Elkie Brooks thing on BBC4 last night? I loved seeing Vinegar Joe, fronted by Robert Palmer and Brooks around 1973. Proud To Be (A Honky Woman) rocks! #VinegarJoe #ElkieBrooks

  2. Elkie Brooks proving that you can have a career in popular music that spanned the 60s and 70s and still be coherent and able to remember it in 2026 🙂

  18. "Saved" - Elkie Brooks

    It's a bit musical theatre, this. Ought to come from Jesus Crikey Superstore, or Codspill.

    Elkie proves that she can do the upbeat tunes as well as the deep ballads.

  19. "Lilac wine" - Elkie Brooks

    The feeling when you're drunk and completely oblivious to the pains of the world.

    Written by James Shelton in 1950, and covered by such stars as Eartha Kitt, Helen Merrill, Nina Simone, and Jeff Buckley. More recent performers include Katie Melua, Susan Boyle, and Dave Gahan (!).

    Elkie's is the only hit version, and it's not entirely clear why she's performing it while cosplaying as a toilet roll cover.

  20. Elkie Brooks - "No more the fool"

    The vid features Elkie in a candlelit chapel, thinking about a man in an office with big windows. The song is a massive up yours to the man who walked away from her, written by Russ Ballard.

    In a quiet week for new music, this is an excellent choice - not just because it's a good song, but because it's a *long* song.

  21. A 35-minute show won't fit into a 30-minute slot. Snipped for time: five minutes of Elkie Brooks over-emoting on "Nights in white satin".

  23. Elkie Brooks coming to the end of her Imperial Phase, "Don't cry out loud" her fourth top 20 hit in eighteen months.

    It's smooth and inoffensive listening, the sort of well-sung tune I'll always associate with Jimmy Young burbling while mother did something houseworky. #TOTP #ElkieBrooks

  24. @EuropeanSon
    I saw her a couple of nights ago at The Concorde Room in Eastleigh. She really is phenomenal. Her cover of Prince's Purple Rain was amazing and the fact that she can still deliver songs like Sunshine After the Rain and Fool if You Think it's Over as flawlessly as she did 40 years ago is astonishing. I'm beginning to think she made a pact with Satan at some point! #ElkieBrooks
