  • Sad that the synch of the video to music is all out - otherwise one of my favourite oldies. She has such a unique voice and just love the twirl she does silhouetted against the moon.

  • cheers for the vid,great roady tune!

  • seen this lady in concert f'nking brillant!!!

  • Like Jennifer Rush, she has a voice that raises the hairs on the back of your neck...

  • Toni Childs is beautiful and so is her music.

  • "Union" is one of my ten favorite albums of all time & that's no small praise (I'm lucky to have about 6500 albums in my collection). The whole thing is BRILLIANT: the music, the lyrics, the voice. People so often bandy about the term "unique" ; well, this album is the rare one to actually deserve that descriptive. It sounds like no other album before or since. If you don't own it, do yourself a favor & invest in it [you can score a copy on Amazon for 1 cent plus the price of shipping!].

  • I love this song!

  • @carinthian1974 Toni Childs, one of my greatest musical loves, is launching a new track and trying to establish a revolutionary new recipe for artistic integrity and independence in the music biz. If you love her like I do, check it out toni childs dot com

  • I want this played at my funeral! A nice message to go out on!

    It would be nice to live by but few people do.

  • Love it!! :)

  • Loved this song way back when. Still love it, laidback summer song. So sweet. "Can you lay me down and talk to me about things"

  • I haven't heard this in years and forgot how much I loved her voice!!!! I could play this over and over. Great song!

  • @TheKaronlong Do you perhaps have the accoustic chords to this song, or know ehere I can get it?

  • thanks for adding Malturios!

  • Been looking all over for this! Many thanks indeed.. brings back the 80's

  • Thanks

    That showed the other side to this film clip.

  • Thanks

    

  • Thankyou for putting this up; my mum has been asking me to find it for AGES! :)

  • @oOoMELLILDoOo Your mum has great taste

    G Day from Perth Australia

  • @duffster32 And G'day from NSW Haha :)

  • What a voice so sorry she has been in ill health until recent, wish the weather had been a little better to see her Tonight in Nambucca Heads NSW AU

  • does anyone else think she bares aslight resemblance to octomum?? rofl :P

  • album partially recorded in South Africa, great producers/ songwriters David Baerwald and David Ricketts - the shortlived David & David duo ["Welcome To The Boomtown"] underrated vocalist in her home country, but this was a massive hit here in S.A and elsewhere, received a Grammy Rock Vocal performance nomination for "Don't Walk Away".

  • So so so underrated, her voice is fantastic. I have been a fan for years

  • Grossartiges Lied. Hat mir über die Jahre viele Male über dunkle Stunden hinweggeholfen. Habe die cd schon mehrfach verschenkt (immer gekauft)

    Die Lady sollte ihre grossartige Stimme mal an paar guten covers versuchen...

  • awesome singer my dad loved her

  • Wow!

  • I love this song

  • Just an orsome song and a great voice. Well done Toni. Like i told my partner - her time will come lol.

  • class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • class!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • Fair play to you uploading this song ,you stud muffin..

  • Her voice is so so so so ...someone help me here... magically beautiful

  • AWESOME SONG, SO MANY MEMORIES OF BEING YOUNG, MAKES ME HAPPY

  • Grew up listening to Union. This album influenced me into appreciating African music. Thank you Toni Childs.

  • I love this song! TY for posting! I had this CD and I loved it.

  • Special voices come and go.

    I don't like it when they go, especially if we don't get it on record.

    Toni Childs, Macy Gray, Paul Robeson, Susan Boyle, Joseph Shmidt, etc, etc, etc, etc.

    Why do I look so sad?

    The sky can be perfect blue, and voices aren't all we've come up with. Humanity has done much more. Good efforts on all fronts should be appreciated.

    I'll stop my fussing and hope a time will come.

    I, too, hope we can see it all in our lifetime.

  • love this song even though it reminds me of my parents arguing when i was younger,i suppose im emotionallly connected to this song...

  • einfach super alles wie immer beegees gruß opa ricky

  • HELLO

  • I love this song! :)

  • Amazing voice ! Great lyrics!!

  • I just love that bit with her silhoutted against the moon when she hikes her dress and lifts her legs backwards. What a great song. One of my favourites. Pity about the video and music being out of sync with each other.

  • I just finished supporting Toni on her recent Australian tour. It's was awesome. She is one amazing women. Keep the Faith her new album has some beautiful Songs on there.

  • C'est pro...

    Comment faire pour parlé

    Sinon c'est un bon petit son, on dirait du bily joel

  • boa musica!!!

  • Saw her on the weekend she sound the same and is still amazing!!

  • great song, i love it!

  • my soul mate introduced me to her and for that I will always love D.Fitch...

  • Das Lied erinnert mich an einen total "banane" Abend...das war so geil die Zeit ;-)))))))))))))))

  • Marvel, marvel...

  • ataaaaahua

  • WOW ! This is amazing!~

  • she did this last night on her last melbourne gig ...she is bette than ever ..!!!

  • Love it...

  • alte erinnerungen werden wach, einfach cool

  • what about ,,,wheres the ocean,,,please put it up if you have it,,,,shes the greatest ,,,the greatest,,,,i love her so ,,from 80s,,,,

  • Thanks for the upload.

    Song brings back wierd feelings of nostalgia.

    Oh the memories come flooding back.

  • I have also noticed another song of toni childs isn't up on youtube either Keep the faith isn't up.... if anyone has it could they upload it. as i love that song thanks in adv.

  • einfach supi, freu mich es hier zu finden

  • Ist und bleibt ein toller Song.

    Super Stimme die Frau.

    So etwas muss mal in unserem Land gefunden werden.

  • ki fo'i hiva 'elo tama!!!!!!!!!

  • She sang this song first up last night at a concert in NSW. Still a brilliant and powerful voice....

  • Brilliant Song... Brilliant Women

  • not bad!!!!!

  • The music is ENTIRELY out of sync with the vid, or vice versa. But either way, it's a good song and thanks for posting it. :)

  • I remember this song I was 18 or 19, I was going through a lot of bad things. I listened to this song; I do not know how, but it made me realize to be selective of what to worry about. Life is to short to worry about "Everything" that life throws your way

  • To wit, she was underappreciated even though "Don't Walk Away" made 63 on Billboard and she was nominated for Grammys. I remember seeing her on the David Letterman Show when this album came out and the audience loved her, but yeah, apparently NZ and Australia loved her more. Smart folks. ;)

  • Yeah baby, toni is touring in Auatralia, doing country area's away from the big cities, she is fantastic, what a voice, if you get a chance go see her in concert go mate. Australia would gladly call her our gift from above, and what a wonderful lady to talk to, she deserves to be back on top, go you good thing !

  • Saw her this week myself and totally agree with what you said. If you think her records sound good hearing her live is just amazing still gives me goosebumps.

  • This is from the excellent album "Union" in 1988. Such a unique beautiful voice. Thank you so much for posting this video.

  • Thanks for this song. I been trying to find it for a long time now

  • I googled her because of this post and just found out a minute ago she's playing at Castle Hill RSL (in Aust), about 3 k's from my place on 31 Oct. This just keeps gettin better and better. I'm there because I found this post. Again many thanks to Malturios.

  • Well Malturios, no one is gladder than me you noticed this song wasn't on youtube and posted it. A real gem. Many thanks.

  • great song!

  • excellent

  • das Lied und Ihre Stimme ist einfach suuuper !!!

  • einfach eine super Stimme !!

  • one of the best reasons why the 80s and  90s ROCKED!!!!!....what a talent!!!

  • Love this song............love her voice really....great post..

  • A wonderfull Song. Thak you so much!!

    Ein SUPER Lied. Danke dafür, Toni

  • Give a little.. maybe you should give a lot!)))

  • ESTÁ MUY BUENA LA ROLA!!

  • QUE BUENA CANCIÓN!!

  • My father searched the half of his live for this song. It's really great! (:

  • That gonna be the nicest song

  • A beautiful song by a beautiful singer...

  • Ahhhhh~~~ That is so nice! Relaxed~~+=))))))Cheers!!!!

    Thanks again and agaaain!

  • I had this album.. She has a very beautiful voice! Thanks..

  • Just the most fabulous fabulous song to get those earth vibes happening. I have loved this song for years, and is still my fav. Thank you Toni

  • Its her rich raspy voice that sets her apart from todays manufactured female vocals.

  • dame dis song still rocks havent hurd dis since i was a kid

  • good song :) havent heard this song in ages!

  • Just imagine her on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, in the evening as the sun starts to go down. I think that that would be something special

  • They just don't make em like this anymore

  • thanks!!!

  • dis is da meanest song ma favrite wn i was a kid

  • One of my favourite songs ever - this was a big hit in South Africa. And she's gorgeous to boot!

  • My favorite album of '89. It's no wonder she is more popular down under. Her sound has a primal earthy vibe. Will never forget her performing on the grammy's and up for best new artist. She lost to Tracy Chapman but blew everyone away with Don't Walk Away.

  • while my first time and shortly before Berlin's wall falling! - best rememberance!

  • Outstanding! Unique! A beautiful sound!!

  • it was a hit in our country and I like it. had it on LP and now on CD. thanks for loading it up. never've seen that video :).

  • Wasn't she in Auckland a few weeks ago as support for Mellencamp?

    Stop Your Fussin' one of my alltime faves.

  • haha i was born in the 80s my older brother and sisters got me in to this music, i really like it.

    :D go Toni!! come do a show in New Zealand please.

  • I wish she would come to MIsssoula, there are a lot of people here that would appreciate her . And the summer's here are perfect for the outdoor concerts.

  • My Goodness, I have loved this song since the first time I heard it in the 80's

    Not everyone has the earthly rhythm in their blood, and for me, it leaves more for me. I am a born nomad, and this music is my language.

  • What an awesome comment. I was a child when Toni Childs recorded this song. I didn't like it. I love it now.

  • don't stop your wenking, boy - yourshy girl waits for you!

  • Why don't you Americans like her? Here in Australia and New Zealand she's been sooo much more successful, with about 5-6 top 40 hits in each country.

  • Many Americans do like her, but unfortunately, she was never really marketed to be heard by the mainstream population.

    Many people like me had to luck on a video or song on a rare VH1 clip or on the easy listening station YEARS after the song was recorded.

  • Oh. I wonder why, do you know? That's weird.

    Here in Australia, this song, "Don't Walk Away", "I've Got To Go Now", "House of Hope" and "Many Rivers to Cross" are classics. They all made the top 40, and "Ive Got to Go Now" was one of the highest singles of the 90's.

    Did she even have any top 40 hit's in the U.S?

  • Gotta say, the Marketing in both the U.S & U.K hit me as being very ignorant, biased or just very strange at the very least.

    This is why i preferred the reputation of hit references based on what was big in

    Australia, i found they did'nt discriminate by country & were'nt biased, if it was a good hit, they got it no matter where it was from !

    As for Australian / NZ hit music exporting, well, it pretty much got ignored ! - yet many were classed as huge & still remain unknown universally

  • Thnx 4 postin this....been lukin around youtube n cudn't find it.....this is still 1 of my fav songs n artist*_*

    She has lost none of the power and beauty in her singing. She seemed a little nervous. I hope it's evaporating. The sell out crowd adored her.
