5 stars C'est la Vie / Hallowed Be Thy Name are two of the most amazing songs Emerson, Lake & Palmer ever committed to paper or vinyl... Down thru the decades reviewers have spewed vitriol all over Greg Lake's side of Works. These two songs are exceptions! Go and listen to C'est la Vie / Hallowed Be Thy Name and hear the animation of C'est la Vie's Walt Disney classic" Lady and the Tramp" spaghetti kissing scene. How romantic.

And yet " Hallowed Be Thy Name" is my favorite ELP song ever!!! The lyrics are Satan temping poetry ( New Testament style) with another animated Walt Disney meets Lord of the Rings shwing! Don't buy the vinyl single...Instead treat yourself to ELP's most under rated Album...WORKS....Carl Palmer's side is to die for, I love Keith Emerson's piano concerto, and ELP doing Aaron Copeland's "Fanfare For the Common Man" is a decadent desert served after the main course.
