Dear Sam, I was born in 1968. I was 20 years old when I served in the army of the 63rd Parachute Brigade in the former Yugoslavia in 1988. When I first heard your song, Stop, that beautiful song has been engraved in my heart ever since and I confess I was in love with you. I'm glad that thanks to the Internet I can tell you that now. You are truly unique, and the song "Stop" has remained unsurpassed to this day, I will listen to it for the rest of my life. And yes, until now, I am remained unmarried, I think it's your fault. hahahaha. My deep respect.

[JerzeiBalowski]

Horse to the water. Concert for George. Simply brilliant!

[BoiledOctopus]

The Pink Floyd vocals are on another level, out of this world. Every time I listen to it, it sends chills down my spine.

[JacksonPM]

Sam Brown at Pulse was some of the best singing I've heard in my life

[chevypreps]

A very talented and lovely lady. Thank you for all the enjoyment you have given us. Your performance with Pink Floyd was incredible. I very much understand the sadness of losing your voice. To lose such a wonderful gift would be difficult to accept.

[ColmMcD]

So great to see Sam in such a great place now after the devastation of losing THAT voice. I always loved her early work. All of the Jools Holland & Pink Floyd work just passed me by at the time so I was delighted to find it all down a YouTube Rabbit hole a few years back. An amazing singer with such a great voice, as an audience we are lucky to have access to all those great performances.

[stevem-h]

Thank you for all you taught me, my friend. It was an honour sharing a stage with you.

[colinlee]

An amazing and inspirational lady. One of the best. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent Sam.

[GuitarRock]

I loved her when she was on stage in "The Great Gig in the Sky" with Pink Floyd. She was astonashing. Thank you Sam, thank you!

[Prod-]

Fellow muso here, massive Pink Floyd van (I saw you twice on the 1994) tour.

You utterly nailed GGITS. Great to see you back in action.

[adolfomartinezcarazo]

For Sam Brown. He blew me away in the Harrison tribute with the song "Horse to the water." I hear her almost every day with her pianist. I'm not an expert in music or voices, but there are many who call themselves "singers" who don't sing, speak or play very low notes or have a nice tone of voice and make a lot of money. I don't want to give names. You gave notes that went up to Everest and did what you wanted with your voice. Now it will continue to sing within different margins. It's fantastic how he sings and makes music. Good luck in life to you and your children. From Spain.

[bungopony]

One of the best singers I've ever heard. If "Wait a while" with Jon Lord and Sam doesn't pull your heart strings, you're probably just dead inside.

[BeckyGard]

Sam browne just brought me to tears.
Life can give you these unexpected heart breaking disasters that change your life....in ways that dont feel good.
How do yoh come back??
Much love

[hoffy]

Sam Brown at The Concert for George was fantastic. Horse to The Water. Damn great vocal.

[klistarf]

Number 8 is a truly stunning album. As soon as it was released and i first heard it, i loved it. Whilst i fully understand the obvious frustration that Sam feels at not being able to sing the way she always has, i am so happy that she has discovered a way to continue to be incredibly creative, and i hope that she will keep on writing, recording and releasing her wonderful material. That being said, i truly hope and pray that the voice returns. Either way, Sam is amazing and such a lovely human being and we will continue to support her however things pan out. Keep rockin', Sam
🤟🏻🤩

[mokumhammer]

Brutal, frank & honest interview Sam. Thank you - I wish you all the very best.

[r.nylokken]

Hi.
I always will love Sam Brown, with or without a voice. What a story in music and stunning vocal
she has been giving us.
Love from Norway, high up in the mountains.

[airgead]

I think that if Sam would have only preformed in the great gig in the sky she already succeeded 100% in life. That performance is so incredible in all kind of ways.

[Martynjs]

I heard Sam live for the first time at a Floyd gig at Earls Court in '94. PHENOMENAL! She took me to another world and from that moment I was hooked!! There is something very unique in Sam's songwriting and performing. I am pleased Sam has found a different way to evolve and bring her undeniable talent to the world. Much love.

[raymondodelmundo]

Hey Sam, got to say a big thank you for all the great music over the years, and I'm glad to see that you have found another creative avenue. You're like a fine wine, getting better with time!
