^Cool!
I’ve chosen this version because of the remarkable 26 second sustain which as far as I know remains unequalled, and it's a fab live take in any event. It’s not Phil Lynott singing, for obvious reasons - this was recorded in 1992, released in 1993. I’m not sure who’s on vocals here and whether it is indeed Andy Pyle as indicated in the YT credits which are sometimes not accurate.
Written by Gary Moore (popular opinion says he nicked it from Kenny Dorham’s “Blue Bossa”) and Phil Lynott and with references to the latter’s absent father, Cecil Parris who was born in 1949 (which I hadn’t known before but now do).
Moore’s signature song …
