  • I love this! I think Abe Sylvia is really talented...

  • Love gone astray,oh how I wish I could revist yesterday.

  • Wow a 10 all around very well put together. I'm like how am I JUST seeing this great clip?

  • I keep coming back to this one. When the guy drops his paper at the end and has his "oh, shit," moment... I've had that feeling. If you're married to someone you don't love, it'll come to you , too.

  • on the serious down low

  • Nancy is the queen of class...as a 12 year old boy, I loved her--fell asleep listening to she and Cannonball, one of the great all time albums. I LOVE HER,

    Larry

  • @LarryStaples Yeah, I got that one. I LOVE it. Too bad this one wasn't on there. I heard this when I was 12 yrs old and loved her since!! Shes AWESOME

  • A Great song! Excellent dancing! Nice Film.

  • amazing performance indeed.

  • is this about gay cheating?

  • @JosephStarVideos Definitely!

  • What a nice video and the song is so relaxing and peaceful

  • man this song and clip is awesome!

  • I loved this song at an Alvin Ailey dance show went to! It took forever to find it online but it was so worth it!

  • Beth Chorneau owns this song.

  • Beth Chorneau ons this song.

  • Too bad the point is revealed half way through...

  • @guitariano: That's the beauty of the song. :-)

  • love this music Nancy is Excellent this IS Real Music !!!!!!!

  • WHEW!! One heckuva' video to go perfectly with this timeless melody. Thanks for the song by Nancy and the interpretation by these beautiful actors.

  • singing this in choir. It sucks.

  • A modern day twist on a classic>

    I LOVE IT!

  • she's so smooth

  • This is great. well done 

  • all men are dogs!!! lol...

  • as much as i've listened to this superb song, i never in a million years would have thought of the husband turning out to be gay; i've always thought about this song as a wife stumbling onto the fact that her husband was creepin' w/another woman but the gay twist in this video puts this song on a whole new level.

  • @darchylde612 I must admit, I was shocked...But this is a great video!!!

  • I think I was 9 when I discovered Nancy Wilson listening to the oldies station in my Mee Maw's kitchen ... then when I was 14 and sang for a local producer to do back-up on a rap song he said he couldn't use me and had no idea what to do with me since I was a little white girl that sang jazz, LOL! I have never been normal! Thanks Nancy for your gift and your influence :-)

  • she is a wonderful singer i love this song.

  • I have listen to this song for years I even have the CD but never seen this video until tonight. What an eye opener. All this time I thought it was another woman!

  • @lambjan

    This was a project and the creator put his/her spin to it. 

  • Down low white mens....SMH

  • Classic American Standard, but FU Video

  • What a ridiculous video for such a beautiful tune. It looks loke drama from school.

  • I'll Be Damm!!!..lol lol I never new this song was about this type of situation, Ive known this song since I was a little girl, What a Gift to have U-Tube to experience such wonderful History and Understanding of this Beautiful Era!! Having said that,...Brillant!!!! Now it really has more meaning, for the good.....smiles...I Adore Nancy Wilson!!!!!!!!

  • @zZ22z2 Let's be clear. This song was never written about "this type of situation." It's been "adapted to speak directly to the heart and experience of the listener."

  • The way the lyrics and notes pass through Nancy Wilson's lips like curling, drifting smoke is just genius. I will always prefer her to Ella Fitzgerald.

  • Bittersweet!

  • @niceguy6967 yes indeed!

  • She is truly timeless, I listened as my mother played her. I saw her a few months ago and she is still a professional.

  • @555119688 lucky you.

  • Dear GOD are you an ENGLISH major? Shit!!!!!!!! Yappppp.... Yapppp..... Yapppp...

    Take it for what it is... gooooood ole' fashioned singing! She has heart and "soul", maybe life experience! This song is about a woman that yes... happens to be a 1950's-60's housewife that finds her days idle and boring. So, she goes shopping and wants a bite to eat at a "french cafe' and bar" then witnesses her husband and his Mistress having an affair. Then, to have the balls to come home like..........

  • Is the video implying the husband has a gay lover?

  • @undapar1 That's what I got too....There is a movie, "Far from heaven" that stars Dennis Quaid and Julienne Moore, that is very much this video...Was wondering if this is where they got the idea for the video...Very interesting movie...If you never seen it before, rent it...

  • Su-bloody-perb. This is exquisite, both musically and visually.

  • Great story. Who wrote this and who is the trio behind her?

  • I'd love to see the husband's face, when it comes to the "punchline" I saw you

  • This is one of the best videos on YouTube! I wonder why the ratings have been disabled. (???)

  • This is the first time I've listened to this great song since becoming separated from my husband of 17 years. While I still adore the lyrics and, of course, Nancy, after now having lived through a similar betrayal of trust and fidelity...well, let's just say the song takes on a biting resonance to which I wish I didn't relate to so strongly.

    I'm definately listening to this little gem on my way to the divorce lawyer too.

  • Such an amazing video. I already loved the song and the video really brought it to life. Such great choreography too. Those guys are awesome.

  • Amazing song--amazing and very well done video--tres appropos.

  • Great video! I love the way she sings the phrase ". . .quick martini."

    I feel like I am watching "Mad Men." :)

  • love this song -- makes me sad though, that people pretend to be something to you that they are not -- or more succinctly -- they pretend you are something to them, that you are not . Nancy Reigns!!!!

  • This is wonderfully done, thanks for bringing this song to my ears for the first time as well as your choreography/video production. For my gentle contribution to your interaction below with manila, I would suggest the possibility that his/her reversal of opinion is a testament to the transformative power of art within the hands of the observer. Don't suffer to answer their slings or arrows, just let them mull it over. Your job was only to make the beautiful video, and then to keep dreaming. xo

  • On of my old time favorites! I love Nancy Wilson! This song cut deeply and it hurts so good!

  • This is a brilliant piece of work... 

  • Really - Manila?

    So - why did you have to mention your stance at all?

    Why not just comment on the song - and call it a day?

  • When I first viewed this video a month ago, I did not like it. I realize now it was because I didn't like seeing two men in an intimate embrace. However, I am very much an advocate for gay rights--quite a liberal. I did think, after viewing it several times that PattiwhackPics did a good job of bringing the Nancy Wilson song to life. I liked the performance of the characters and especially the choreography. Will future productions along this theme make money for their creators?

  • would have loved it if she threw the drink in dude's face at the end

  • Nice choreography with the three of them there at the end.

  • Great video. My congratulations....

  • @sisifusar WHAT'S WITH THE GUYS DANCING? DO THE SODOMITES HAVE RUIN EVERYTHING!

  • I like this. I'll never hear this song again in the same way. Thx for opening my mind.

  • dang... i knew the song but I didn't see that one coming>

  • Only Miss Nancy can make me cry --with her haunting --heartbreaking, rendition. Nancy, GBY for this masterpiece of real singing. Wolfsky9

  • a beautiful song from the 60's--totally ruined by the two male lovers. We didn't have this frame of reference in the 60's

  • hate to burst your bubble, but there were gay people in the 60's

  • Wow, gotta love this lady.

  • Yes there were homosexuals in the 60's. But for some reason they just do not fit in here--from an artistic point of view. This song belongs to young women from an different era. Half of the world's current population had not even been born yet and may not understand. But here it is:  In listening to this dark, haunting tale in 1962, we women pictured the husband with another WOMAN--not a man!. Sorry we were so backward.

  • There were plenty of housewives in the 60's who went through exactly this -- who shared this "frame of reference." The lyrics don't mention the sex of the lover -- just "two people at the bar who were so in love" and that the narrator had never "been so shocked before."

  • I'm talking about artistic expression and interpretation--not statistics.

  • I was only responding to your initial statistical claim that there was no frame of reference for homosexuality for women in the 60's -- if you would like to have a conversation about artistic expression -- speaking as the artist who created this video, I am more than happy to have a debate as to what belongs and does not belong in my work.

  • ...I suppose the wonderful thing about a song like this is that it speaks directly to the heart and experience of the listener -- and what each person's experience of it is, is just that, personal....

  • You suggest that whatever personal thoughts this "haunting tale" conjures for anyone else is invalid, or, as you said, just doesn't "fit." I saw Nancy Wilson in concert last year -- I assure you, the Queen is Timeless -- she belongs to no one, save the ages. It is a testament to the power of the song that it moves you so deeply and personally -- I do not begrudge you that. So please don't begrudge my experience of it.

  • Experience it any way you like. And give me the same right. We're all different.

  • Oh Nancy, you made a Masterpiece with this one! Heartbreaking & Gorgeous. Wolfsky9

  • A Vocal masterpiece from a Lady who knows how to sing from the heart. Oh Nancy, this is timeless. Wolfsky9, 63 y/o

  • Great work, Amazing.

  • Mariah Carey, Withney Houston, Beyonce, and any other female artist with just one ounce of talent is well-familiar with 'Fancy Miss Nancy" as well they should be--because they couldn't carry her 'jock strap'', on their best day, and she doesn't even need one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ladies and gentlemen I would like to dedicate this song to Mr Tiger Woods !!!!

  • God bless my Dad I woouldn't know anything about Nancy Wilson if he didn't shiw me.

  • @haterule Your dad is tha bomb ...( i wish my dad was more like yours lol_)

  • Pay more attention to your husband and stop!

  • Great song and video (with a twist)...

  • Awesome voice and song

  • This is nancy's original version....my favorite

  • @mrstrings65 WOW!!!!!!!!

  • i just stumbled onto this video while i was looking for nancy wilson singing it live.  the song is heart breaking to begin with...but this video brought it to the next level...devastating. i love it.

  • Voice of a Seraphim Angel... I love her music...

  • Great video

  • such a beautiful song

  • ohhhhhh wow didnt see tat coming

  • WOW!

    I have always loved the way Nancy does this song; Very good the video was just as it sometimes happen in REAL LIFE.....I loved it.

  • this video is just the best. 5 stars to the whole team woking on this master peice

  • Beautiful! Great lighting, art direction, and camera moves... the woman gave a really wonderful, nuanced "silent film" performance and the dancing was also subtle and beautiful. Impressive!

  • Great twist on a brillian classic from Nancy Wilson! Bravo!

  • Didn't see that one coming...loved it:)

  • Comment removed

  • Love her sensuous velvelty voice.

  • that was WOW great video

  • Amazing

  • Nancy's version of this song is the best I have ever heard. She is an amazing talent and her interpretation takes the listener through her experiencing infedelity. Great job Nancy! This video is a modern day spin on the traditional man/women scenario. This happens as well as women cheating with other women. It still doesnt diminish the hurt the other partner feels being cheated on. Kudos to Nancy for singing this topic with style and class and not having to bust the windows out his car. ;-)

  • Even flashing beaver got no response from these two...... The decided to travess the Hershy highway of love, and I bet they all ready had there SHIT PACKED.

  • this is the very first song and first time i ever heard nancy wilson sing and she blew me away because beside her wonderful voice and this great song she was the first singer i ever heard articulate so clearly.

  • This is very, very nice. Great job!

    Love,

    Mama

  • This is my favorite son by Nancy...Nice to see the image of what went down...

  • Nice Job to a classic Nancy Wilson song.

  • I agree.

  • That is great.

  • Wow, great job! Delightful to watch. Amazing mise-en-scène and cinematography!

  • What a wonderful modern interpretation of this timeless song by Nancy Wilson. The lyrics are indeed gender neutral- I never envisioned this. Wonderful!!! What can you do with "The Masquerade is over"

  • Funny you mention Masquerade... that is, hands down, my favorite recording of hers.

  • What a wonderful modern interpretation of this timeless song by Nancy Wilson. The lyrics are indeed gender neutral- I never envisioned this. Wonderful!!!

  • NANCY - FABULOUS!

    Finally, I can quit grieving over getting rid of my old LP's. I missed listening to Nancy Wilson, especially this selection. Thank you, so much, for sharing.

  • que pasa ..pasa quebrada !!

  • Outstanding. What an interesting interpretation of this amazing song. Nancy Wilson's voice is like none other. Excellent work on the video production. Thank you for sharing your work. Please keep it up!

  • Wonderful! Thank you so much for such a beautiful and thoughtful production.

  • Oh my God! This was unbelievably fabulous. The choreography, the incredible Nancy Wilson (who happens to be my neighbor). Thank you, it was wondderful!

  • Wow is she really your neighbor?

  • 5 Stars!!!!!!!!

    Great.

  • This is simply outstanding. Congratulations, and please, don't stop here. MORE!

  • WOW! Outstanding! Very cool. Thanks for the post! Clark

  • This is wonderful! Bravo!

  • BUSTED!!

  • WOW.

  • FIVE STARS!

  • Jazz vocalist are different from the rest and this lady was one of the all time best. She was the last of a breed of singers that leaned on phrasing and nuance. Notice there are no vocal harmonies or call and response instead you get excellent tone and diction. She's like another instrument. If you're not into this lady you don't know what you're missing.

  • This song is amazing!!!! I heard it about 7 years ago in the car on my way to get pizza. Had to pull over at the end when she says "I Saw You...." She did that right there. One of my favorite tunes. Period. Great job, Miss Wilson.

  • It's a pity that so many great American standards are credited to their PERFORMERS rather than their CREATORS. This classic was created by Murray Grand and Elisse Boyd for that ground-breaking, star-making revue: NEW FACES OF 1952. Thanks for posting this

    intriguing version.

  • i love when she takes her apron

  • HES GAY?!!!

    i always thought he was at the bar with some chick but now it makes sentce

    "iv never been so Shocked before"

    LMFAO!!

    xD

  • It's just this film's interpretation of the song. He could be with anyone, I guess.

  • whenever i hear this song i always imagine a small movie like this, although i must admit, the two male lovers adds a twist that is slightly unexpected, just like the last line of the song.

  • Cool my teacher is Wynn Padula, we watched this today. He did this at UCLA

  • Wynn is a great DP!

  • This was STUNNING! Beautifully done, love the "twist". Love her dress. Too bad the ratings are disabled.

  • Wow, a new twist on one of my favorite classics. I have always enjoyed just listening to this song and envisioned what type of video would go alongside it. This is not what I expected; it was better. Well done! My favorite part is about 2:51-2:53 on the passing through part of the song, but overall there is a nice flow to the video.

  • WoW!

  • this done so classy

  • wow....it is sorta funny

  • I think your the only one who has this version of Nancy's song on Youtube. Great video too by the way. The twist of the story was very clever too.

  • xDDD Gay?? Okay!! That was a great little twist!! No wonder he kept shruggin' her off in the beggining of the video. I LOVED IT!!

  • If he's smart, he won't touch that second martini!!!

  • I know No One Sings This Song Like Nancy Wilson. But For All Of You That Like It Please, Listen To CHANTE MOORE'S Version Of It. I Guarantee You Will "LOVE" It!!!!! It's On Her New CD Love The Woman

    Check It Out!!!

    ShortieQue

  • She has an interesting version, Chante.

  • Nancy Wilson great singer of jazz/pop 5 ***** Marc Jones Vocalist U.S.A.

  • very nicely done...make some more vids, please.

  • I wasn't expecting this twist in the video at all. CRACKED ME UP. I'm still laughing . . . Thanks.

  • It's so nice to see something like this, in contrast to the political scene, the economy. Thank you. We all need to find that small, hidden-away, place, where life is magical.

  • I should hate this song — my first ex-wife caught me in a smoky, dark restaurant just like the one Nancy sings about — but I love this video. She didn't wait until i got home to bust me, though.

  • haha, this is absolutely brilliant!!!

  • BRAVO! I am speechless.

  • OMG

  • Nancy singing one of her best! video, on the down low! Great work poster!

  • wow, what a great video! I didn't expect that but that's actually what you're supposed to feel when you are listening to that song.

  • soooo goood

  • I just can't say enough... what a brilliant song, what an amazing singer and performance, and the video is the best I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning.

  • FANTASTIC! Great work.

  • one raw great music video!

  • A totally unexpected GEM. Thank You for sharing this, PattiwhackPics!

  • WOW. That was unexpected. This is was quite good. Beuatiful choreography. Of course, I've always imagined that someone singing this song so cooly, probably poisoned her husband's drink. I could just imagine him slumping over on the sofa as she sang the last three words, "I saw you."

  • I love this song it is one of my favorites by Nancy... She has an amazing voice...

  • This was great! I love this song, and the video gave it a whole new spin.

    Why can't they make music like this today?

  • OMG!!!!! YOU BETTER WORK, GIRL...

  • Wonderful!

  • Magnificent - wow, the song is great all by itself with Nancy Wilson singing, but the video with the great choreography and oerfect timing to the music just blew me away. The dancers/actors were superb and the story line was excellent, Pattiewhackpics, thank you for sharing. Who actually made the video?

  • i have been listening to this song since i was born and this was GREAT!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!the best on you tube hands down and i never comment on nothing trust me!! bravo!!!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful job... I have never seen a video do this song such justice.

  • Very clever film, the timing is spot on and the art direction brilliant so that the sets of the past and present merge - the gay twist was absoultely hilarious - a "most attractive French cafe and bar" eh? Was it called "Le Garcon" by any chance?!

  • nancy wilson is fabulous, there will never be another

  • OH MY GOD!!!!! THAT Was genius!!! I LOVE this song an did'nt expect this dramatic rendition......BRAVO,BRAVO,BRA­VO!!!!!

  • Great...

  • I loved this song years ago when I first heard it - and then saw this short film when it was part of 2005 Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco. Where DID you find a copy of it?

  • WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is a WONDERFUL VIDEO! Very original, thoughtful, and creative. Thank you for this wonderful treat!

  • I did NOT see that coming!

    BRAVO!!!

  • Stephan, I'm STILL cracking up! Didn't expect that all at . . . excellent!!

  • This is most marvelous, interesting song in the world to me! I love you tube! Lord knows this is so hard to find! Absoulutely awesome! Nancy sound like a hummingbird! It's so mysterious until the end when it all falls down! (I hear ya Kanye!) Superb!

  • I first heard this song in 1987 at a show choir camp in Denton, Texas. Thanks PattwhackPic.

  • Daft....no relation.
