  • It's how I feel today. I would love for that "one" to feel this for me. He won't let go of that one who had him for a few minutes...and it hurts to feel like I'll never be THAT special. I guess I try too hard....but then...I feel ''ugly''. I do love this song...it brings out those times that were good. When we were young...and enjoyed so much.

  • On this date in 1978 {Jan. 28th} "If I Can't Have You" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; on May 13th it would peak at No. 1 {for 1 week} and spent a total of 22 weeks in the Top 100!!!

    {A side note: From Dec, 24th, 1977 to May 19th, 1978; Player's "Baby Come Back" was the only No. 1 during that time period not written by a Gibb family member}

  • live???  really.....

  • esta cancion me trae muchos recuerdos, cuantos romances tuve bailando este tema gracias por recopilar las canciones de ella porque no se encuentra es muy escaso

  • linda canção!!!

    

  • This is one of my favorite 70's songs (and I was born in the 70's)

  • true artists like Yvonne are long gone, now we just have garbage like lady gaga :(

  • some of the instrumental of Brown paper bag is originally from this song, I can hear the similarities.

  • makes me want to dance the hustle...lol

  • # 1

  • One uber sexy woman.

  • Moving song , it brings me back in time...

  • I could listen to this song 100 times....okay 100 more times....... you caught me.

  • I say ''If he doesn't want youuu (Yvonne) .... he must be fuc..ing crazyyyy''

  • @0to62 Remember no matter how HOT any chick is.. there's some guy guy there that is sick of her bullshit.

  • @DeanLisi A good point to remember!

  • something about 70s music, the way it was recorded on tape and the emotion and timeless hooks and melodies are just amazing.

  • Me fascina esta canción, ya que Yvonne no solamente canto con el corazón sino que también con mucha devoción al presentarse en vivo y tener esa armonía que hoy se logra por medio de apuntadores y otros elementos electrónicos que no existía en esa época, por lo tanto a mi parecer tiene mayor mérito estos artistas que los que surgen en la actualidad

  • ESTA ROLA ME FACINA PERO JAMAS LA PONEN EN LOS EVENTOS DISCO CHALE!!!

  • she has the same name as me

  • HELLO IVONNE:

    AFTER THE ATTEMPTS OF TERRORIST 2001 TO US THE REPUBLICAN AND NEWS I CAN STILL SAY THAT YOU WERE MY FRIEND. ME THE COMPOSER OF THIS PIECE OF MUSIC. LOVE TO YOU. DEAR FRIEND. TILL NEXT.

  • She seems Magdalena in JCS, isn't it?

  • LOVE IT!!!

  • besos les mando

    a todos

  • hola como me gusta esta mucica q no pasa de moda es un clacico ayer y te la recomiendo a todos los q les gustan este tipo de mucica

  • Great tune and memories..... but this not live. She can sing live but this is the studio track. And the mouthing is VERY off. Not sure if it's her or the video.

  • Gran cantante

  • I grew up in the 90s but my parents played 60s-80s music all the time. I remembering singing this in the car with my mom lol. As a kid I imagined Yvonne as a black woman for some reason so I was surprised when I actually looked her up. It's cool, there should be more Asian Americans in mainstream media.

  • thumbs up if u agree that this was showed before Iphone created

  • buy it from chase bank? fuckers. fucking assholes. godam fucks. evelyn egurzi11/18/11 is there a network noose somewhere? buy it from wells fargo who the fuck knows. one of the two. who bought american savings? or let me guess, saihid dieleanora with coamerica bank?

  • Big Daddy bring me here

  • what could be more late 70s than this whole get up here? it wa a crazy time but it sure was fun.

  • This song is the awesome, i'm just more appreciative that fashion has evolved.

  • :)

  • Greatest voice ever!!

  • @wila4u2 lady gaga,lady gaga,lady gaga!

  • this has been messed with...not real

  • I love this song it brings good memories. By this time women artist sang from the heart and not for sex and money.

  • @RoxanaBezares Bullshit, that bitch is clearly gagging for it.

  • @angryharad

    Trolls be trolling.

  • the best song end my lif..

  • nice!

    

  • the first time i saw IVONNE i fall in loved with her, now watching this love still stands

  • Back when women and men were real, and passion was the only thing that motivated great music, not money, nor sex

  •  Why can't we bring music like this back- there was real passion- glad we still can see it on You Tube-Amen.

  • Great song...

  • im clyde and this song is awesome by yvonne elliman -if i cant have you.the first time i heard it i really liked it because the way the music was done and the lead singer! where have all the hits gone to?is yvonne elliman still around?she is a attractive looking woman.whats she doing now?

  • @hairyhothornylover1 She went back to Hawaai and di a Hawaiian Album. She still does some appearances. Has to grown children. She is 60 yrs old and still looks good.

  • The kind of voice and face that makes a man think about love.

  • she was hot and talented but was she a one hit wonder

  • back in 77, we were 18 and after school we went for drinks in a local pub and on juke box : yvonne elliman (but more often we played 'Hello, Stranger' of her, a number rather difficult to find today (eg I Tunes) and that's a pity ...

    Those where the days ...

  • makes me miss the old days..beautiful song.

  • me encanta ♥

  • Como Me Encanta Esta Cancion...If I Can Have You....

    Te Amo Yvonne Elliman.....

  • ahh memoriesand this song brings back so many love remenicing

  • A BRILLIANT BEEGEES SONG.

  • nothing can beat the 70s and 80s

  • She's georgeous!

  • "Sonny!"

  • I think so,too.Great song,great voice.

  • great post,great song

  • 70 and 80 s love it pls maje this music again!!

  • What ever happened to producing good, quality music? This song really reminds me of how much better music was back in the day!

  • I love her cute pretty chinesse eyes:3

  • Bee Gees are the heart of Disco Love

  • Oh my God if I could haveYOU!!! <3

  • I love, love, love this song. I can listen all day.

  • Beautiful woman, beautiful attire! Love the outfit and the boots! Although I had no clue Yvonne Elliman was Asian!

  • @barber747 She's Irish-Japanese-Chinese. This performance is no doubt lip-synched, which was common for the time. They had a whole orchestra on the track, including a rare french horn solo. (for a pop song) Great song and a great voice, wish she had done more music.

  • @ffjsb

    Yeah I knew that.

  • Que canción tan bonita tantos recuerdos

  • esto si es musica no como las mierdas de canciones de ahora

  • Maravilhosa!

  • that are the cutest Chinese eyes i ever seen :)

  • great voice, classic song

  • the 70's and 80's had the hottest back up singers in that order

  • @SCOTTFREE226 well maybe they're 60 years old now and still alive pay'em a visit ;)

  • @richasis, Most definitely!

  • What's the name of that song :-)

  • Yes it is still a great song. She had married Maurice Gibb who had a few kids together and are now proud grandparents :)

  • @MsCarlyn74

    For real? No shit...

  • @MsCarlyn74 Yvonne Elliman did NOT marry Maurice Gibb. She married a guy named Oakes in the early '70s and married a guy named Wade Hyman in '81, with whom she had kids.

  • Yvonne Elliman to fucking Justin Beiber and Rebecca Black? Are you fucking kidding me? What is the world fucking coming to?

  • @TheVasilisas

    Quite. This generation is lost!

  • @richasis

    You can say that again.... Un-fucking-believable!

  • I'm from the disco era and this was my #1 favorite song along with Rock Your Baby by George McCrae.

  • @sassygreeneyes01

    baby, you smooth... :)

  • ADORO A YVONNE ELLIMAN!!!. ELLA ES LO MAXIMO, UNA DE LAS MAS LINDAS VOCES DE LA MUSICA DISCO,... Y MI AMOR PLATONICO EN MI ADOLESCENCIA... DIVA!!!

  • This is a timeless classic. They don't make them like this anymore .

    Yvonne elliman has a pretty face , i like her singing voice as well .

    : )

  • @musique1975 u mean HAD a pretty face...

  • Google Adwords Needs To Fix Click Bombing and Reinstate My and Others Partnerships If They Want Boost support

  • The Bee Gees wrote it for her to sing in Saturday Night Fever, they just sang a version of it themselves later.

  • viva Americans great nation

  • @PatriotTrueAmerican Despite Glenn Beck's general assholery, he does one thing right; he refers to what we think of as "liberals" as what they really are, "progressives." Liberalism is what everyone who considers themselves an American should believe in: that every human being is equal. Liberalism hasn't destroyed our nation, it has created our it.

  • @PatriotTrueAmerican There are some hidden assumptions here that you aren't making clear, and the only person who understands it is you. If you aren't going to make yourself understood to others, then there is no point to the comment, beyond satisfying yourself. This comment is like you're masturbating, and you call out "Hey! Look at this!"

  • @PatriotTrueAmerican ...You rant about gays, liberals, and traitors over THIS song? If this were a video of a gay pride parade, of obama, of someone burning a flag, war protesters, or anything else that could conceivable fit into your categories of what gays, liberals, and traitors are, then I could see the cause of this comment. But THIS song!?

  • i love this song! <3

  • Was this performance on Soul Train?

  • @intestlol it was on THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL in 1977 or 1978.

  • beautiful song and beautiful singer.

  • I luv Yvonne!!!!

  • @PatriotTrueAmerican The Constitution of the United States implicitly states that all expressions of speech (music falls within this) are protected by the First Ammendment, within reason. An example of this limitation would be "...falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic... - Oliver W. Holmes Jr". Your opinion on whether the music of this time began the unravelling of America is your own opinion, but do your damn research when bringing the constitution into an arguement.

  • I have a few words to say to this motherfucker PatriotTrueAmerican, you fagget, if you don´t like the music, or you are a queer who have the afraid to get out of closet, dont start to sayin nonsense about the music or show you self righteous homophobia, go fuck your self, if you have doubts how much I´m piss of, the USA constitution give me the right to have a gun, got it?

  • why is so happy???

  • 2011 and that is still an awesome song!!!

  • @SmileCavy86 Totally. It defies ageing.Amazing track. Love Yvonne's voice.

  • Such a good dancing party music, a must element,

    so graet !

  • @PatriotTrueAmerican You misspelled "exploit", dipshit. Oh, and you're an idiot. :)

  • this is real music not that crap they play today!

  • PTM! como me encantan los 70s... :3 PTM! porque no fui de esa época? PTM! música... música... música... <3

  • @PatriotTrueAmerican Ssshhh, quiet down dumbass. If you don't like it, don't look at it.

  • still love this song. she wasn't a great lip syncher though.

  • Beautiful Lady_Beautiful Song

  • Love the 70's songs.

  • She looks like the girl from Dancing with the Stars!!!!!

  • LOVE the boots!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow where's the EPIC button at?

  • Fuck yes! Great song and the chick is hot too!

  • I like her performance in Jesus Christ Superstar

  • IN IN LOVE ♥ WITH THIS SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great singer !

  • she has a really beautiful voice, i'm pretty sure she sang with eric clapton.

  • I love this song, but this is definitely NOT a live performance.

  • adam lambert :)

  • Pure Gold

  • you can totally tell by these 70's singers that they're singing with all their hearts, just look at their faces. today's singers just have dollar signs in front of their eyes!

  • Inolvidables tiempos,tenia 18 years.Si pudiera volver hacia atras.Que maravilloso seria.Gracias........YOUTUBE.C­OM por hacerme recordar esos dias.

  • Regarding the comment below, Yvonne Elliman is still very much alive, perhaps you have her confused with disco diva Vicki Sue Robonson who died at age 45 in 2000. I love this video & song even though Yvonne is lip syncing this song, you can tell because it sounds EXACTLY like the record that I happen to own.

  • one of the saddest songs of the disco , makes want to save her, beautiful voice from a beautiful woman, i miss you

  • i love this lady

  • If you cant get me,go fuck your big "ego"

  • We definitely grew up in the greatest time in music: the 60's, 70's and 80's! ( Not that I don't love alot of the 50's, some 90's, and some in the new millenium!) It's just we had it all in the era's noted at the top! Peace, BobbyK

  • sabrina sato??/rs

  • Thanks for uploading this, I love This Song, I WANNA MARRY YVONNE ELLIMAN !! XD

  • live ? really ?... any way i still love it all the same 

  • clasico tema de los tantos que hubo en los 70´s

  • I feels like to dance . .

  • Thumbs of you see this in 2011:-D

  • whatever happened to her

    ?

    

  • I LOVE THIS SONG..BTW IM HIGH ASS FUCK...

  • I LOVE THIS SONG...BTW I, HIGH ASS FUCK!!!!

  • my fav part-

    Can't let go and it doesn't matter how I try,I gave it all so easily to you my love, To dreams that never will come true, Am I strong enough to see it through, Go crazy is what I will do.

  • Wow, the verses in this song are *so* smooth, little melodic hooks bubble up from underneath as the chords shift, all these great little transitions.

  • amazing, great, fantastic! love this song! Yvonne Elliman, great voice!

  • Still to this day, my favorite song of all time. And if you want to get technical about it, Polynesian

  • Beautiful voice. Jesus Christ superstar to disco. What nationality is she?

  • @enteecee  hawaiian

  • @enteecee Elliman's father was of Irish descent, and her mother shared Japanese and Chinese ancestries. She was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii - Wiki

  • @nbtsb Hers is a very classically Hawaiian -- i.e. mixed -- lineage. It's just beautiful what happens when we can all come together in love and I think both Hawaii and Yvonne personify that. :-)

  • 70´s wonderful!

  • What a song...god bless the sad sods that voted in the neg, feel sorry for em.

  • It is my opinion that the 70s and 80s were very liberated, when it came to talent of various ethnic backgrounds. The stereotypes simply were not as obvious as they are today for mainstream entertainment.

  • Me recuerda el club Parrita ,y el club de Amigos de S R ,de Alajuela y los pantalones cordoroy bien acampanados que tiempos mas bellos ..

  • brilliant number

  • Better than the Bee Gees' own version, partly due to the orchestration, but also because she's just more pleasant. The Bee Gees tend to whine.

  • @THINKTOYOTA Not exactly a fair comparison. The Bee Gees version wasn't even mixed and mastered properly, never mind orchestrated. In fact it was only a demo so it stood no chance of being better than Yvonne's version. For some odd reason the record company put it out anyway.

  • Yes, 32 people have a big ole yellow cob up their *&&!

  • 32 people are stupid idiots!

  • Oh my god!!!! Is the miley cyrus??????rsrsrrsrsrsr

  • MARY

    MMM

    THAT IS GOOD

  • Como olvidar este temazo, de finales de los 70's.

  • Como olvidar este temazo, de finales de los 70's

  • Take that stupid fuck ad off the video.

  • @celticlofts just click on the x on the top right corner.

  • @celticlofts click x

  • @celticlofts Dont the adds just get on your nerves...

    They get on mine. Cant escape the fucking things.

    I Turn the radio on and on comes an add.

    Turn the TV on and they come straight up on there.

    Come on Youtube and they pop straight up as soon as I go to listen to a song.

    Its like there fucking haunting me....

  • @mrhomerbojangles Yup, I came here for an instant disco fix and the fucking ads make me wait for it, bleh!

  • @celticlofts why don't you give her $5 for watching her video instead of bitching about a stupid ad on a free website, or should you just get to watch anything for free ? what does she get for her hard work ?

  • This music was fantastic!! Grew up with this stuff on the radio! Makes me want to go back to those days soo bad!!

  • ohhh shes lovely....n reminds me of a woman who sings this for fun...n ali you so remind me of her..both fantastic..
