Singer/songwriter Sharon O’Neill did Los Angeles inspired, mid-70s pop/rock as well as many of her contemporaries in California — but it’s hard to imagine opening lines as striking as these ones coming from that West Coast. ‘Words’ was the first single from her second, self-titled album, which won her Album of the Year and Best Female Vocalist at the 1980 NZ Music Awards. After years behind the keyboards, O’Neill shines in this video filmed at Wellington venue The Last Resort, with a band that includes Wayne Mason, Simon Morris and drummer Steve Garden.
