omg bonnie i actually sang with you in 1972. you invited me on stage. my school sang at orchestra hall with a college. we then went to mayor daley's house to sing for his family. you heard me in the audience up front. great to see you. you look and sound fantastic

[StJouish]

OMG. I remembered that line about "we were just following our noses," and just a random notion whatever happened to Bonnie Koloc. and here she is on YouTube. I used to live in Chicago at 1510 North Dearborn and we could walk over to the Earol of Old Town and saw Bonnie in person a few times. Remember when she sang for McDonalds?

[lightofathousand]

@StJouish YES!  I knew I wasn't the only one who recognized her voice in the America's Meat and Potatoes campaign.

@StJouish well, thats better than bonnie pimping her ass around town.... but only just so.

[StJouish]

@atfatw RE:well, thats better than bonnie pimping her ass around town.

Why be vulgar? That's YOUR assumption that I think less of Bonnie Koloc for putting her beautiful, uplifting voice on TV. I am not sure why Judy Collins (who hit a lot of sour notes in her time), Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez entered the mainstream successfully and Bonnie never did. A shame.

Love Bonnie! Does anyone remember her acapella song about the moon

big and yellow over the Tippicanoe {sp.) Would to connect again, Thanks , Briar

I remember her singing "Both Sides Now" at a show in Evanston, Il in the 60s. I never before experienced an audience in complete silence.

[MsJCBurke]

Hey Bonnie, I used to do your spread sheets when I worked for you accountant! Hope you're doing great!

[MsJCBurke]

@MsJCBurke typo: your accountant

[booper2363]

Bonnie you have always been an inspirtation and always will be. Your voice is a gift from God. Sweet as an angel. From "Earl" till 2010 a legend in time.

Love and peace to you always.

Thanks for your music.

I heard Bonnie Koloc and Steve Goodman perform at the college I attended in Minnesota in 1973. My heart belonged to Bonnie for many weeks after!

[stumptown123]

Outstanding!

Thanks for posting

One of Chicago's finest female folk singers.....Saw her at Harry Hopes in Cary, IL back in the 70's......she's great...........

[pegapup]

One of my favorite singers/songs growing up. I've found some of her stuff on iTunes, but not this song, sadly.

[menashadude]

I love this song because Eileen loved it.....I think I know now what this song means and who she thought this was about.....very sweet and innocent.

[stumptown123]

Classic Music. Great Video

Bonnie Koloc is an amazingly gifted artist. I've seen her at the Old Town School of Folk Music and Fitzgerald's and she never fails to thrill me. She is a gracious and brilliant artist. Treasure her music.

[unclebobunclebob]

What's wrong with her music now? Pretty damned good, I'd say. Don't get caught in a musical time machine when someone's a great artist.

[karenaperville]

Such a beautiful song and voice. How I loved listening to her music in the 70s.

[youcantusethatname]

One of the finest songs ever written. One of the most gifted singers ever to grace a stage. An privilege to hear her. Echoing xciteful's comment below -- this song had a profound influence on me at a critical time in my youth. Still works magic after all these years.

[quinnpj]

WHAT a voice and such a sweet person..In the 70s I saw her every time she was in New York..the last time was at the club where woody allen played on monday nites..i waited around after the show and gave her a ride to gramercy park or was i just dreaming.....tears come to my eyes every time i hear her sing this song....

[xciteful]

My mom bought one of her albums at a yard sale in 1980. It shaped my early years more than I can even describe. Her voice reminds me of those formative years. Brings tears......

[timetravel101]

Thanks for posting this!! I love this song -- I heard Bonnie perform it twice, once at Ravinia and once at the late great Amazing Grace. I also love I Wish I Had A River That I Could Skate Away On.

[lennycohenfan]

More Bonnie!  Please!

[nightofathousand]

Bonnie Koloc came to Chicago in about 1972 and began performing at the Earl of Old Town at North and North Wells Streets.  I heard her there once in 1978, but at that time she wasn't singing this one, or my favorite, Angel from Montgomery. I still have all her LPs.

[RioShooter]

I've been listening to her for 30 years. She is one of the best singer/songwriters ever. Sadly, I never saw her in concert.

[vcaleca]

I love Bonnie Koloc -- one of the best concerts I've ever seen was a show she did with Steve Goodman at the College of DuPage (outside Chicago) in 1974. It was magic. For me, this song was always a highlight of her live shows. It's a shame she didn't get a wider audience.

[jsc1227]

All her early albums were great. I still have my copies. She should have gotten even more fame for her music
