[SixteenClumsyShy]

I never heard of this singer. I am looking forward to it.

 

[Was I ever any good]

I’m over the 4cking moon

 

[BookishBoy]

I'd totally forgotten about her! Used to love this song:

 

[Phranc & Open]

Grounbreaking or earth shattering. Not sure.

 

[DagenhamDan]

Was watching her on a Bowie documentary a couple of weeks ago, lots of interesting stories about Bowie. She used to go round to see him at his mums house and was surprised at how his mum and dad were silent and it didnt seem a very happy house.

 

[Famous when dead]

Used over 2 tours in the video reel:

FWD.

 

[ACTON]

I'm ashamed, ashen-faced, aggreived and almost agitated at my abject absence of awareness of this artist. At least now we know that Moz kmows how to send e-mails.

 

[The.Boy.Racer]

Looking forward to hearing that Moz cover...!

 

[Mozscofflaw]

Wow! I don't know the singer but I do admire her remarkable ability to actually RELEASE an album! This likely is the only album announcing a release date we will see on this site for some time.

 

[Imbrie]

Wild! A good friend of mine is Dana's usual live keys player (although doesn't appear to feature on this record).

 

[Light Housework]

It’s inspiring to see an older woman going so strong, as a 60 year old myself.

 

[gashonthenail]

Moz will be chuffed. Come on, let's have some more good news in April!

 

[Malarkey]

She's won something to do with Eurovision. Either a round in the contest to represent San Marino - or she is going to represent them.

 

[The Alchemist]

I'm not my type, but I love my bed.

 

[JoeSellMozza]

Fretsore Records, for sure Morrissey‘s next label.

 

[matt]

Who is this old crone? Why would we want to hear someone older than our grans singing Gods and Monsters: "f*** yeah give it to me this is heaven what I truly want..."

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Who is this old crone? Why would we want to hear someone older than our grans singing Gods and Monsters: "f*** yeah give it to me this is heaven what I truly want..."

Completely amazing song, though.

 

[Lujan369]

She sings softly and well, I didn't know her and I don't like that kind of music, but 70.albums is a lot. That Moz song is very good, the lyrics are simple but it says it all, it's for ordinary people who work to identify. I'd like Moz to do more of these. with wittier lyrics and not protest

You're a girl. In this day and age, 60 years are like 50 years before. It also depends on the spirit of each person! Age is a number and an aspect... People should die with a young face
