Sharon Robinson - Summertime - with Javier Mas, Helsinki 2008

[Scheherezades]

Mesmerizing - I just love her voice. 

[savedfaves]

A relative unknown. Known to those who know her as Leonard Cohen's backup singer. Without even trying she's better than anyone who ever competed or won American Idol.

Just beautiful

Life is so unfair sometimes, a wonderful tatent like this is virtually unheard of while the likes of Cheryl Bloody Cole, Justin Bieber, 50 Cent etc get the fame & fortune. No justice

@phillabels Yu are spot on mate, she's amazing, effortlessly classy - makes no sense!

[phillabels]

Just beautiful

[MarshPark]

Sharon Robinson is a singer and a star in her own right. Thank you for posting this performance.

[moonwarrior5]

a very gifted and beautiful lady

Diana Ross was lucky to have songs written for her by this incredibly talented woman. This song was on her 1987 album Red Hot Rhythm and Blues. Sharon Robinson also co-wrote Cross My Heart.

This performance by Sharon Robinson and Javier Mas is absolutely blissful - and should be a 'master class' to so many performers who over-sing and over-play in an attempt to sound impressive.

[TeletubbiesGiallo]

A beautiful song co-written by Sharon and the superb Leonard Cohen.

[frincho]

this is so soft...

who wouldn't want her to be their mother, singing them a bedtime lullaby?

or what man wouldn't have his eyes glued to her when she sings with this warmth?...

[SunnyMcTribe]

Pure beauty.

[katarrina11]

Genialne !!!

[missingmarina]

[Mamba2105]

She is excellent. Voice of an angel. Just lovely and haunting.

[bloodgorged]

Sharon is heavenly.Not only her voice,but also her beauty.I'd love to marry Sharon Robinson,and have lots of kids with her,and feed her cream cakes.

[Kombajncek]

She is divine

[sturgess66]

Beautiful!

[garaganaful]

I haven't recently heard something as beautiful as this

[macflyfilm]

One of these days these natural performers will get a chance again. Like they used to.

[oldeblueboy]

Again, please remember the name - Sharon Robinson. She makes a tremendous contribution to Cohen's successful 2008/09 tour. Her solo CD featured in this clip is outstanding. Beautiful words, beautiful voice and simply beautiful lady.

[strandwolf]

Did she sing "Uncle Sam" back in 1969? Or was that another S. R.?

Thanks for posting this!  I had not heard this song before. I have watched this several times now, and I see that you have some errors in the lyrics you wrote in the description:

"from breaking over here" should be "from breaking over him"

"to ease the outer pain" should be "to ease me out of bed"

"and I wanna it dry forever" should be "and I want to drive forever"

[Dunflyin]

A beautiful lady with an exquisite voice & a masterful guitarist performing an achingly lovely song with more feeling and class than I have heard in a long time. Thank you all for this wonderful posting. How can I burn this onto a DVD so that I can have it forever?

[ssavoia]
