That is the most patient little kid I've ever met. I know too many kids who would want to run off to the playground while their mother is singing about their sorrows.
hey guys im cortez a music artist with a vengeance you guys i waited a long time to sing and this is my year im going to come out and take the world be storm am a all around artist that sings dances rap whatever i also produce music and stuff so if you tired of people doing the same shit on youtube singing the same songs check out my videos you will be freaking shocked and amazed by my craziness plz sub and comment
IIRC, she was a housekeeper at the hotel where the musical director was working and she was singing in the background, and the director asked her to audition and sing this song. She got the role easily.
This packed theaters in DC Dupont Circle at release. The surround sound on this song was the best sound for the best perfrormance I have ever seen on screen. It literally drained everyone in the theater but there were still spontaneous cheers at it's end, sometimes earlier. This song cuts glass.
LOL, please pay attention to the woman in the bench, she appears and disappears at will... pretty fcking funny. I do agree by the way, that this is one of the best vocal performance in the history of cinema .
Not just freakin' talented, but a genuinely beautiful woman. No plastic surgery, Botox, or anything. And she's even got all her clothes on. Sighhh, I miss those days.
Supposedly she knocked this out in one take----At the end of the movie, shouldn't the gravestone say Claude Hooper Bukowski instead of George Berger since they traded places and all.
I had an opportunity to be in a stage production of Hair. Was one of the most memorable experiences in my life. I have since bought the DVD and revisit it regularly with people in my life. This song has always stuck in my mind and I catch myself singing it at certain moments.
Amazing song. Amazing voice. Check out the woman sitting on the bench in the long shots. First shes there, then not there, then.....there again. Made me chuckle.....
It is a pretty amazing song. It helps the musical show both sides of the movement, not just glorify it. Sure, there's peace and love for the world, but taking care of the rest of the world can equal NOT taking care of your own little corner (at least, when you've gone to the extreme like these kids have). Gotta love the depth, here.
What a woman, what a voice! Certainly the highlight of the movie, this song and its interpretation goes deep into my heart. It really plucks my heartstrings like not many other songs.
I love this song because it's so true. How can people be so cruel and unfeeling towards people they personally know, when they claim that they want justice and righteousness for society? If you can't get your own life in order, shut your fuckin' face. Real acts of charity and kindness towards individuals we actually know is so much more important than our political policy and will be a true step towards the wider social justice we all yearn for. Peace and love, to *everybody*.
I haven't seen this movie in a while, but I think that this might be the most important song in the musical. Kind of reminds me of how the intellectuals of today can content themselves with the fact that they "care about social injustice," but they are still cold and cruel. Apathy is more evil than ignorance. This song is powerful because it is always relevant.
I always found this one of the most poignant moments in that movie. There were all kinds of people dropping out of life and joining the counter-culture for various political and personal reasons, both selfish and respectable, but this was the one moment when the story focused on how dropping out affected the people they were abandoning in the process.
I can watch this clip time and time over, this is the best quality posting I've seen, many thanks.
An interesting aside, regarding continuity, watch the users of the park bench, they are there then gone then back again and see the woman in the brown coat walking towards shot, then we then see a gentleman, finally the woman again, perhaps they were all on something in the cutting room, I can't see any reason not to have put these shots in a sensible order. It doesn't distract my enjoyment.
I wish I was half as strong as she. She doesn’t cry for herself while I´m crying just watching her.
On the other side she says „You know I'm hung up on you.“ I wouldn´t want to stay with a man who was able to scream such things, push me etc. My brain may forgive a rudeness, but my heart and body may be never „full of love“ again. Maybe I am stupid, but I am afraid I can’t change it.
Always loved this song, but she performed it memorably. The little boy, with tears, staring silently after his father is a heart-breaker moment. Thank you!
1) How did she not even get an Oscar nomination for this - hell, she should have WON!!!! This is the single greatest musical vocal performance in the history of cinema!!!
2) What the HELL happened to Cheryl Barnes. This, then several years later she won Star Search, then she disappeared. She could have been bigger than Whitney Houston!!!!
This woman can definitely sing. I love this song. The stage version is different, but this scene is touching and definitely makes a statement about what it must have been like to have responsibilities and then just walk away.
This woman could really teach some of these American Idol contestants a thing or two. This woman should have been a star. One of the best musical scenes ever.
I like the film version of this musical more now than I did 30 years ago. This is a masterful scene, clashing the stereotypical controlling Black male ego against the "peace and love" vibe he tries to maintain with his friends. He is shamed, she calls him on his shit, and his new friends are left not knowing who he is.
@LiteraryWriter i couldn't agree more twith what you say about this woman.she is amazing in everyway.i've seen this film hundreds of times but always failed to find out what she is called.can you shed any light on who she is for me please.thanks.
@LiteraryWriter YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT SHE IS ONE OF A KIND. THIS SONG HAS BEEN MY SALVATION FOR DECADES! THANX FORUNDERSTANING THE RICHNESS OF THESE CLASSICA;L SONGS
@sweetredredwine yea, her diamond needs a setting to hold her up,, she's so proud, today's black women would have beat the shit out of the white chick and then gone after the dude. lmao. regardless, she's a amazing singer,
@LiteraryWriter i know what u mean, but if u listen to the song, she is tellin him she needs him, not that proud. lOL I would have told him to shit in his hat. that does not take away the fact that she is a amazing performer
@har9020 Totally agree! I saw it a couple months ago. Caissie is amazing. Thought it is a completely different context and executed in a much different way.
The only thing I will say about this scene is that if this your wifes(?) reaction to you possibly impregnating someone else...you really shouldn't yell at her...so few people I know react this well...
I love how this movie portrays both sides of the hippie movement, the good and the bad. And this scene is perfect. Fantastic performance, I can barely believe her voice!
igen, yes, ja, da...its that i always talk about-thats why i love this movie and saw more then 20 times and never got bored :-) and yes, i love all the characters, but C B 's voice is fantastic
I ja się Ciebie kiedyś zapytałam, a teraz powtórzę pytanie w inny sposób, bo w wirtualu: czy jestem Twoją dziewczyną czy nie, Zbyszko71 ? ;-) W wirtualu jeszcze nie pytałam!
every time i see that scene i also start crying, it is by far the most important and moving scene i have ever scene in any movie, she is amazing, i just say it on direct tv . i have the same reaction for over 30 years. best movie of all time. period
I was a teenager when the original Three Dog Night version came out. That sounded like nothing compared to this woman. Whe I first saw this movie, hearing this song was like being hit with a bolt of lightning. I never get tired of it. And she does it without chewing the scenery - she just stand there & lets it rip. Amazing, incredible voice & performance.
what a beautiful song sung well and a sad scene for both women and the little boy i heard this song last night in church and i agree with annasala many for get there own family but charity should begin at home..
Cheryl Barnes is great. This scene, this song and the way she sings it gets to me every time. Without even saying a word, the little boy is a class act too.
amazing...that after all these years.....i still can watch this..over and over again...Cheryl Barnes...is wonderful....stunning performance....and yes...my favourite song from Hair......

Whe I first saw this movie, hearing this song was like being hit with a bolt of lightning. I never get tired of it. And she does it without chewing the scenery - she just stand there & lets it rip. Amazing, incredible voice & performance.

It breaks my heart when the little boy starts to cry because he doesn't understand.

i guess this version of the song works, but i prefer how it is in the stage version with shelia singing it.

i can relate to this scene so well..
how is it that especially those who say they care about others forget about their own family???
a friend of mine just told me I should not fall in love with "metaphysical men" any more lol
beautiful scene - love the singing

Cheryl Barnes is great. This scene, this song and the way she sings it gets to me every time. Without even saying a word, the little boy is a class act too.

I thought that the movie had all of the best versions of the songs from Hair.
And that is after having over 10 years of numerous artists doing covers.
