  • I'm here because of the movie 2012

  • Why the hell are people nitpicking about the sound quality? Sure, the guitar's a little fuzzy but overall it's not any worse than most youtube videos, and her voice is in perfect shape- at its soaring, fluid best. It's a beautifully uplifting song, and I say she does it justice, and not just by virtue of being her but by sounding bloody good out here. As for the video quality, when you can listen, does it really matter? 84 dislikes, pah!

  • Pass around the peace pipe...

  • No top coment? My time to shine  :D

  • ~I am a true Fan of Joan Baez. I have collected all of her music, that was recorded, on vinyl, throughout the years.

    However, this presentation is awful, in audio and video!~ Please replace it with something, that will do this talented Artist, justice! Thank You!

  • OMG Joan Baez. I just gouged my ear drums out with a rusty screwdriver to make this stop. I still hear this in my head....somebody please kill me now.

  • We called them Segregationists. Now they're Conservatives. Same people, but they've now figured out new tricks, like how to kill us legally, with "health care".

    Remember that businesses reap huge rewards and pay virtually no tax--while we finance over 4 million miles of roads to haul their freight, educate their pool of workers, put out their fires, guard their resources, build dams to power their industry, etc. They don't pay nearly enough for all of these things.

  • It's pretty obvious that you guys are young, It's a peace song morphed into a political cry to fight segregation. Imagine 200,000 civil-rights protestors singing this together, very slowly, growing louder with each verse--until the sound waves vibrate everything and your whole body becomes and ear. It will make your hair stand up and your nipples hard duckies--and it turns the bigots' bowels to water thinking what would happen if all that power boiled over.

  • SNOW890 sniffs too much of her product

  • shove it

  • Toujours aussi belle et la même voix qu'il y a... quelques lustres. Merci pour ce beau chant des Esclaves devenus plus ou moins libres...

  • This may be a banal song lyrically but if you take delight in beautiful harmonies listen to the Australian folk group The Seekers sing this. Lead singer Judith Durham is a great vocal talent.

  • hahahaha im just sat drinking booze on ma own singing kummm byaaaa hhaha just singing kl

  • 「主よここに来て下さい。泣いている人がいるから。」

  • Thumbs up if u know this song from 2012 movie xD

  • Joan Baez invented autotune.

  • "Physical" ~"Kumbaya"~ would be ~"Divine Intervention"~ which ~"happens"~ from time to time. It has ~"happened"~ to me. What could/would it ~“do”~ to ~“everyone’s”~ ~“attitude”~ about ~“everything”~ to see ~“evidence”~ of ~“proof”~ of ~“God”~ in the ~“structure”~ of the ~“text”~ of my ~“book”~ ~ “DIVINE 9/11 INTERVENTION” ~. It's FREE and online. Click on "a77white" on the lower left corner for info. ~“Feeling”~ ~“led”~ almost ~“compelled”~ to ~“write”~ my ~“book”~ like ~"this"~ I ~"discovered..

  • "a mighty wind " , the satirical film by Christopher Guest is based on this kind of  earnest honky crap.

  • Such rudeness, by some, in their comments - may they someday find themselves on their knees before the lord, and explain themselves...

  • Oh Christ!!!!!!....my ears are bleeding......

    Strange.....I suddenly have an urge for a big bowl of granola......

  • To: all my friends on the Mediteranean

    yafa shoham

  • I jedziemy!

  • Sorry, but this version is sounds no better than a cat squealing

  • so boring ...

  • хуета блеать

  • There are heartless fascists around the world sadly not just in the USA! The UK has far too many.

  • what happened to the night they burned ole dixie down ?

  • Beautiful! JAE

  • I home this whole group got hit with a bomb the moment this video ended.

  • Okauy, GOP, you are the HATE party. I understand that. Too bad that you have soured your lives that way.

  • wtf i thought this would be cool but this sucks ass!

  • ei kai tuohon muuta osaa sanoa, ei Kumbayhaa voi tuon paremmin enää laulaa

  • TRULLY THE BEST VERSION1111

  • Love you Joan !.your the best..

  • The Only thing i can understand is kumbaya

  • Lets all gather together to defeat out hangovers to this joyus song

  • @Blaxot why watch it then you idiot?

  • mmmmh Emmylou Harris. It's amazing that I have never heard of her since I grew up in Georgia. Does look good, though.

  • The definitve version of this song is done by the great Judith Durham with the Australian folk group The Seekers. Whether you like the song or not,it's worth a listen

  • @forsburgers the definitive version of this song is when people sing it together from their souls

  • the song mr. sumthing from the movie 2012 is talking about, lol

  • Beautiful! She is like a precious face of Mother Mary to me right now.

  • This is the theme song to Vatican II.

  • I have to say it. Joan Baez was super hot, back in the day, but she really isn't a great singer. Listen to this, then try Streisand or Karen Carpenter. It's just a different world. Again, Joan Baez was super hot, so I don't want to hear from the feminists.

  • @alandavidsanders I don't think she was super hot... she was just an average girl, but a very good singer. I much prefer Emmylou Harris, though. And Emmylou was a really beautiful woman.

  • @DiegoElArbol EmmyLou is still looking good but her stuff after Gram parsons died, has been dull.

  • How sad that the world is so full of hate - yet, 250 000 people wanted to view this song, so perhaps we should merely pity those narrow minded haters. Lovely song, thank you for sharing.

  • horrible song

  • some one's singin Lord that should be closer to thee my Lord please Lord for the greatrer good take her to thy boosom now my Lord

  • I love this song. We used to sing this song as a part of a Church service and a part of a Native American ceremony by laying of stones on the ground to honor the dead and Christ. I am not religious and we did this when I was about 11 but some 40 yrs later I still very much remember that. My Church choir does sing this song but that memory still lingers. So much idealism and hope 40 yrs ago.

  • Kumbayah my Satan. Hell yeah!.

  • I can't stand this song but I love her voice.

  • very annoying! 

  • @krisaxeslinger Her voice is great its the song that is repetitive and annoying.

  • Nice voice.

    Per the question on "Kumbaya" it's Pidgin English (slurred english),

    it's literally "Come by Here"

  • Einfach nur gut

    Very well

    tres bien

    zeer goed

  • @krisaxeslinger yeah youre right

  • this song sucks dangit haha 218 people missed the dislike buttons

  • i just came to hear the song not bad commants about it

  • I like the hate filled messages about her voice.

  • I still can't figure out the lyrics to this song it's so frustrating.....

  • please...make it stop!!!!

  • too much

  • i remember this song from role model the camp guy cant sing shit

  • with mohamed ali

    but with earbuttons

  • 2 seconds of her voice is enough!!! UGH

  • @hijaabiforlife My mother is obssessed with JB. When Joan Baez sings Bob Dylan's stuff It  is frightening. It is like Listening to Maria Callas or Kiri Te kanewa sing Captain Beefheart.

  • To see this done to perfection , one has to see the performance by The Seekers on their 1993 reunion tour

  • I post this comment in honor of President Obama telling the Mexican President: "We are not defined by our borders."

  • all they say is Kumbaya and they only have one tune it actually took me 10 minutes to type this because i couldn't get the song out of my head

  • Sometimes too much vibrato isn't a good thing.

  • Joan was (is) a soaring talent, no doubt... but this version don't come within streets of Judith Durham's.

  • This reminds me of Church camp during summers when I was a kid, an excellent excuse for my parents to dump me off to fornicate somewhere in an expensive hotel.. FECK OFF KUMBAYA!!!!!!!!!! I think this camp counselor tried to touch my boobs while "baptising" me in a swimming pool =\

    I also tipped a canoe :(

    Snake bit me :*(

  • @ourloveisarmystrong Isn't camp fun!?!? LoL

  • @83pgm NO!! Lol... mentally scarred for life. Ha

  • Damn she's got some pipes!

  • @driven6996 Her "pipes" are in the water closet where all her records belong.

  • LOL THANK YOU SIR for telling the truth! I thank you Mr. Conservative douche for praising your savior Geroge Dumbass Bush, the most retarded man who makes all of America ashamed.

  • @SNOW890

    I thank you Mr. Rude Uneducated Man for thanking him. That was so mature! *clap clap clap*

  • @SNOW890 the VERY truth is that every American president over the past 60 years has waged war on some far-off poor country. They may look different for you but they are all the same for us third-worlders

  • @SNOW890 You are the kind of moron who makes all of America ashamed, it has nothing to do with your politics, just your absolute lack of any trace of intelligence...

  • @SNOW890 Retarded? You can't even spell the name. I would say you are the one retarded. Thanks for the laugh.

  • @SNOW890 So, how's all this "hope and change" been for you so far Mr. Kool-Aid drinking left wing liberal moron? Are you happy with the quasi American, pseudo president Muslim infesting the White House

  • @bonesdoc11 Quit being a little bitch. Everybody knew your boy fucked the economy so hard it was going to take more than 1 term to recover. Limbaugh shouldn't give you ditto-heads access to his computer between fluffs.

  • @bewgerman Wow, just think, it only took you two months to come up with the drivel you spouted. You have to be the dumbest little prissy fag that ever posted a comment. Bush left us with less than 5% unemployment and now, over $1,500,000,000.00 later it is close to double that and growing! That asshole in the White House thinks he can tax tax us INTO prosperity! Obviously, so do you. That means you must be one of the many losers sucking off the public dole. I'm right, aren't I? Kool-Aid any one?

  • @SNOW890 It's not Bush who brought shame upon America, it was the American's themselves to begin with... It won't help blaming a single person for that.

  • @SNOW890: 2006 called. They want their Bush Derangement Syndrome back.

  • Yeah, he made the US a better place, not the world, so don't say that.

  • i'm not one to troll or complain or anything.

    But i was expecting something...less dull

  • Damn ... What a voice ...

  • Can some1 tell me what " Kumbaya " Means ??!?!?!

  • Come by here (Gullah language).

  • one of the most annoying songs... x_x

  • @contempt77 .... to you, person77

  • @contempt77 why watch it?

  • @contempt77 - “Yet again, a product of African-American spirituality has been turned into a term of joking and derision. It’s a distortion, and it’s a sad reversal.”

    NY Times 11/20/2010

  • @contempt77 I just LOVE it

  • @contempt77 LOL agreed but which one the song or the singer?

  • @leboharold both! Joan Baez should have been sent to Siberia for good after Dylan dumped her in 1965.

  • an annoying song, by a self-righteous zealot, in an obnoxious country.  It don't any worse.

  • beautifull:)

  • It's a beautiful song and Joan always had a beautiful voice. She also always sang fantastic lyrics that were portrayed humanitarian views. Unfortunately, this song is a little contradictory. As where there is religion, there is war.

  • War is caused not by religion but lack of love. The object of all religions is love and peace. God is love. Where there is no real belief in God who is just and merciful then people become bold enough to make war. War is a selfish act of man.

  • Danielle, I love your hope. Religion is a fantastic device for disciplining the following. Always has been, and I would never disrespect it's value nor place in society, it works in a single-religion or single-race society.

  • These societies don't exist so unfortunately we have to overcome the discrepancies between religious beliefs if we are to live in harmony and true peace. Only way to do this is have one religion!!! Now, which God/religion would win? Most people have love as you suggest but only for their own. This is where your arguement falls down.

  • Humanitarianism sounds like a way forward whatever it is, but looking out for the human, whatever type he is sounds good to me.. Ps Thanks for the dialect. good to talk and share opinions,...

  • Simon, in the beginning there was only one belief (we may call it religion) and yet there was disharmony. Religion (set of beliefs in a Deity) was not the cause of disharmony but disobedience to God and man's pride. Now, you say which religion and which God? Which came first, religion or disharmony? After disharmony, other religions / gods sprouted. So, which religion will win, or let's rephrase your question, who is the true God?

  • To reduce religion as a device and the cause of the problems of the world is totally misleading. Man creates the problems, not religion. There are so many laws created by man and yet there is still no discipline. Who judges whether an act is right or wrong or humanitarian? Acts which are inherently wrong such as abortion or euthanasia are being justified as humanitarian. Where did we get our basis of humanitarian standards?

  • Who said that it is wrong to kill or steal etc...? One cannot disconnect good or bad from God's supernatural law. There must be a first cause or a first mover or an intelligent designer, a God who governs the universe. I do not only hope but I truly believe in God.

  • It is so clear for me. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day, He rose again. He ascended to Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

  • He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting, Amen. So many testimonies, miracles and proofs and yet there are still many people who do not believe. "If today you hear His voice, harden not your heart." Thank you Simon for giving the opportunity to discuss our beliefs.

  • sorry for replying, but there is no proof in the known world for anything of these things......

  • sorry, maybe in your own small world perhaps.

  • To say that war and theism always go together is a generalisation; generally one made out of fear.

    I understand, however, that it is a popular one in the current climate. It is ironic, how vigilant, atheists usually are about logical fallacies, and yet at times they can be very selective about which fallacies are allowed through.

    Here's another generalisation for you:- Atheism has become a reflexive bandwagon, and strayed from its' intellectual roots.

  • let's bomb Iran!

  • @cuoregenoatoromerda

    Iraanis/Persians are wonderful friendly cultured civilized human beings unlike most yanks.Visit Iraan and see for yourself, if you can find your way out of a paper bag that is.

  • @taariqtaariq - Agree fully!

    All the rest is for politics.

  • Sorry everything I wrote couldn't fit as one reply. I'm sure you can figure out the sequence :)

  • Thanks for reminding me of the Creed Danielle. I haven't recited it for a few months or so. Was raised a Catholic. Still hope but lack the faith these days

  • The good thing is that the seed has been planted, it just needs to be nurtured, fertilized and watered for it to bear good fruit :)

  • Believe me Danielle, well fertilised and nurtured. Producing good fruit,(I think, though they are only 7 & 10- LOL)

  • I'm sure they are :) It's better to build children than to repair men. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

  • ahhh tears fill my eyes as i recapture this wonderful activist and memories fill my heart and mind................

  • nice:)

  • Golden voice!

  • 좋구만, 쿰바야. 사랑과 평화가 함께 하기를.

  • Sorry, all you didn't get this song. War is terrorism and against all valid religions. It is the governments and the people who blindly follow them, that cause wars.

    Thanks Joan for your effort at sanity

  • Holy Cow, that is a stupid remark. War isn't terrorism; it is war. There are just wars and unjust wars. Many just wars have been fought in defense against invaders bent on total destruction of the defenders. Are you saying that those who defended themselves against the Nazis or the Soviets or the Khmer Rouge or the Taliban were acting against religious principals? Even the Dalai Lama ordered Tibetan soldiers to fight the Chinese when they invaded. Jeez!

  • Sorry, but I have to agree with tcavanan for the most part. War is a terrist attack against humanity. What you said about people fighting wars in defence is difficult though.

  • me ise la paja a este video

  • this song pisses me off!!!!

  • Fossi li ti spacco la chitarra in testa.

  • cmoon every one hold hands and sing ^.^ KUUUMBAYAA MAH LAWD KUUUMBAAAYAAAAAAAA MAH LAWD KUUUUMBAYA OOOOOOH MY LAWD

  • Comment removed

  • Then I Think You Are A Terrorist.

  • When You See Dirt In Your House And You Clean It Do U Ever Think About Where Did It Come Frome?

  • Comment removed

  • Why Terrirost People In The Middle East Exist? It Must Come Frome Somewhere!

    ill Leave You To Think About It..

    BYE!

  • Are you asking why terrorism from the middle east exists? Simple,America along with other countries that practice religious freedom along with social freedoms are looked down upon by the radical element of various islamic groups,and treated as a threat to their way of life. The rise of the western civilization in such a short time has caused a sort of paranoia to groups fearing they will lose their strong hold on those they control. Thus the use of terrorism,not to fight,but to cause fear.

  • Along with America backing Israel. A country that does not bow down to anyone. And no Im not jewish.

  • Lack of education, perhaps? O.o

  • Our*

  • I Didnt Say Americans Are Terrorists I Say The Goverment Is And You Guys Dont Pay Us To Help Us Its Cause U Need Us And If U Want All The Oil Free U Can We Cant Do Anything Bout It !
