I have been looking for this song for 17 years ... cause the first song i've shared with my wife (was may girl friend at that time)

[wiguy3]

@belspace what a sweet story. Hope you enjoy many more years of happiness and hours of enjoying miss Jane.

[ildiko1pa]

LOVE IT!

[argylewriter]

I so love Jane Olivor. Her voice, this song

[RickGould2]

I,ve always loved this song. Noone does it better. I also have never felt it more than today-08/10/2011. Especially when I look at the news about the recall elections in Wisconsin and whats currently happening in England. Anyone have any hopeful words???

[bethspivak]

Jane is a heart singer. She feels every note and makes you feel it to. Just wonderful.

[oofahman]

Looking for the video, if available of "Where There Is Love"...gorgeous song!

[wiguy3]

She's so fabulous. Does any one have a posting for her song Pretty Girl"?

[thatsalligot2say]

I wouldn't mind going back either

[dylandollyspud]

Wonderful stuff!

[sfmarklh]

magnificent!

[dakwa1]

When she sings, she is so emotional, and not just her words, but every aspect of her. She becomes so much of the song she is singing that it just carries so much stronger.

[lmike1918]

My only dream, a dish of vanilla ice cream... sigh

[asskearl]

Hi Jane...How about a ride down memory lane. 1976 a sunny day at Hialeah race track and you riding Bojoco down a tree shaded lane. Your song gives me back the world I remember.

[sushifromthemoon]

Her voice is just so pure. She could sing the Munchkin song from Wizard of Oz and make it exceptional.

[dakwa1]

When you hear Jane sing, her best songs are those that require a high level of emotion in them. This is the type of siger she is, a very strong emotional voice that can express the needed emotions of a song to its fullness.

That is not an easy style to perform, and yet she makes it look so easy!

[goneatlast]

What a passionate gift Jane offers.

Thanks for this wonderful video, Geneva.

[arcanacoelestia]

Geneva, thanks for posting this truly remarkable song -- the finest ever written by Neil Sedaka (who is, BTW, a Sephardic Jew from Brooklyn, New York). Jane Olivor's performance is stunning, but my all-time favorite is still the one by Rick Comeaux of the Texas-based duo Atwood & Comeaux. (You can find that one on YouTube too.)

[platoboy]

ever notice she leans over into the audience...body language she wants to convey to audience...most performers now stand on stage and isolate themselves from the audience, they stand off. I see it all the time. A kind of immaturaty

[aviix]

This song is my top of the tops, the best song ever made...Thanks for sharing

[briansky10]

I could care less who wrote this song. As far as I'm concerned, it's Jane Olivor's song. Nobody could possibly do ONE MORE RIDE ON THE MERRY GO ROUND as good as she can. Janie's a pro!

[harfuch1]

You should care about who wrote it. (Mr. Sedaka from Canada ascendent from middle east)

it takes brains to write songs like this one.

[jofanincan]

I think you're mixing up Mr Sedaka (from Canada?? Don't think so!) with Paul Anka. Janie's version is fantastic! So passionate.

[harfuch1]

No, no, no, is backward Mr. Neil Sedaka is from New York and Mr. Paul Anka is from Canada.

[Barbraesque]

@harfuch1 Sedaka is a New Yorker and Anka is a Canadian

[harfuch1]

@Barbraesque That's exactly what my comment says.

Sedaka is from New York and Anka from Canada.

Both are descent from Middle east.

[Barbraesque]

@harfuch1 You are correct. Sorry, I read so many comments, I must have clicked on the reply to the wrong person. My Apologies.

Thank You. Love Both Neil and Paul!

[harfuch1]

@Barbraesque Not a problem my friend, I accept your apologize.

I love both too.

I had the opotunity to see both in Mexico City back in the 60's

I attended to Paul Anka's Concert

and I shake Mr Sedaka's hand.

Memories.

Saludos desde Houston, Tx.

[Barbraesque]

@harfuch1

Gracias!Veo que estan en Houston. Yo tambien. Tienen una gran tarde!

P.S. Perdona la falta de adecuada Puntuacion espanol. Mi teclado no tiene los charcters.

[harfuch1]

@Barbraesque Si vivo en Houston desde hace 30 anos.

Is nice to know that you also live here in Houston.

I love and collect music from 60's 70's and some 50's.

saludos

[Barbraesque]

@harfuch1 Veo.I was born here. Nice to know I'm not the Only one,LOL! Love music from the late '60s and '70s, + some '80s. Good Stuff!

[Theaterfan5]

Have you watched Rick Comeaux's version? Check it out.

[Barbraesque]

@Theaterfan5 I know Jerry and Rick. I have sung with them both. Love Jerry and Rick! Saw Jerry last Friday.

[erniemajor]

It's so interesting , now to compare this with the later version...a different kind of passion infuses the later one....both are ..inimitable in her unique way...

[erniemajor]

and so...the souls climb back onto the Great Wheel...

[peeterpoon]

Jane is not Peggy Lee on this one but it's not bad...

[stematfisnyc]

You're right Peggy Lee was much duller with a lot less heart. I prefer the less comatose when it comes to the art necessary to be able to sing a song. Please, Not bad? Are you kidding?

[courtneyy3892]

I'm so excited!!! I'm going to see her perform at the Berkelee Center in Boston on the 20th!! I saw her in concert twice in the seventies.

[mikel3363]

I had the pleasure of seeing Jane Olivor in concert in 1982. She really was a very special and wonderful singer and performer. Intimate, magical and emotionally exquisite***

[zik6983]

Merci pour cette vidéo.

je suis vraiment fan de Jane Olivor depuis 1977.

[LoisVacanti]

I was looking for Jane Olivers OLD songs but couldn't find any on Youtube. What happened to them?

[AkbarRaja]

You mean videos, isn't ?

[faithhoprtrust]

As in everything she sings, she absouletly makes it her own. Terrific!!

[lmike1918]

In 197? my Mother would play this album repeatedly. As a young rock fan I would try to ignore it until one day I found myself humming Jane's version of Vincent. It was soon put into the ELO, Genesis, Steve Miller LP rotation.

Great stuff

[alaric59]

Isn't it incredible that we as parents turned our children on to such eclectic performers who were for lack of a better word FABULOUS. I aplaud your mom for playing it each day. About 77-78

[skfanincan]

This song is great. Jane sings it in such a haunting way. Many thanks for posting!
