We were listening to Joan Armatrading singing Love and Affection today and were reminded of the first time we had heard anything by her which was actually in a movie theater. It was in the fall of 1976 and Becky and I went to a movie. I don't remember the movie but I vividly remember that before the movie came on there was a short promotional video on the screen of Joan Armatrading performing Love and Affection which was a song from her upcoming album being promoted. We both loved the song and shortly after seeing that clip I bought the album. This was long before MTV.
It turned out to be a wonderful record that had many amazing songs. Over the next year or so I went back and bought her previous album and then got her new albums over the years as they were released. I think I have 15 of her albums.
She has many wonderful songs across all of those albums. Some of my other favorite songs include
- Down To Zero
- Show Some Emotion
- Rosie
- The Weakness In Me
- Me Myself and I
- I'm Lucky
- All The Way From America
- I Love It When You Call Me Names
And so many more...
The following clip is the promotional video we saw in the movie theater in 1976.
