Many Rivers to Cross - Toni Childs

[SuperOlikat]

This song touches my soul so deeply the chapters of my book of life are so filled with joy and much sorrow that are so expressed in her voice and lyrics.

[jenerrific713]

OMG, I can't believe I found this song!!!!! LOVED the movie Lost Angels and this music, along with the movie always made me cry. Beautiful song, haunting lyrics... the best!!!! Thanks for posting it.

I absolutely LOVE her version of this song ... such a beautiful voice!!! <3 1 of my faves! :o)

[13druid13]

Jimmy Cliff original is a million times better sorry. This woman's voice is like nails on a a chalkboard, yikes. That's just my opinion, don't shoot me.

[cfhincal]

arohanui toni ur sound will always 4 eva.C.H.O.I.C.E.!!!!!!

[wase10032]

nice song, thanks for posting mate. all the time i thought this a male voice today by watching this video i discoverd that mater of fact the singer is a lady, by the way great song and great voice

[lasoo88]

There is a 2nd music video for this song. It's the same as this one except it includes some clips from the film Lost Angels. I still have it on VHS from 1996.

[liquidfreak]

funny voice

[PeaceUnityLoveLife01]

The best cover of this song i reckon

[MsCaz007]

@PeaceUnityLoveLife01 I believe she does this cover the best too. An amazing voice and she is she same live. Have been very lucky to see her twice in concert. Her music touches us deep inside. She makes this world a better place.

[farrusco27]

I think this is the best version,of all

[bloozedaddy]

just like UB40 the music doesn't match the sentiment of the lyrc.....sometimes it's about the song...not the artist.

[600lester]

Sorry but UB40 is a lot better !!!

[1ok4u]

Been a fan for years...she is a diamond in the stones...Thanks for the song Jimmy

[Anthonyfuckingmartin]

It doesn't matter if you are Aussie/Kiwi/American/African/K­orean etc....etc..... she is a true gem xo

[fredafred27]

nice song and voice

[chrisp4211]

This song and "Dont walk away" bring back lots of memories of the eighties sort of makes you wish for the good old days, gees must be gettin old ha ha

[darepow]

Will be seeing Toni next week in Melbourne Australia. Eat you hearts out! lol

[80ssounds]

i cant believe shes coming to new zealand and playing in christchurch i snapped up front row seats,its such a small theatre shes playing at,almost seems like an insult to her talent,she either loves new zealand or shes lost some popularity either way i feel very priviledged and cant wait to see her and i hope we make her feel at home

[SuperTonichilds]

@80ssounds Toni Childs, one of my greatest musical loves, is launching a new track and trying to establish a revolutionary new recipe for artistic integrity and independence in the music biz. If you love her like I do, check it out toni childs dot com

[humphreybbare]

I' going to her concert in October! Yay 2nd row seats... Can't wait :D

[ransmyr]

Toni, please come to Sweden!

[09gunny]

WOW i finally found out who sings this versionToni you make this song soooo beautiful i LOVE it.... thank u Malturios : ) im gonna buy the cd tomorrow

[whichypoohs]

....beautiful voice...why haven't we heard of her here in the UK....WONDERFUL i LOVE HER X

[BoogarBeans]

A stunning genius. Other worldly and amazing.

[wdsr5]

wow I've been looking for this version of "many rivers to cross" since I heard this some playing at the end of the movie "Lost Angels" back in the early 90's

thanks for posting

[plimsoul222]

@wdsr5 I fell in love with this song when I watched that movie too. Went out and bought the soundtrack right after the movie. Fell in love with the Pogues during the same movie. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

[taurusgal1983]

Im aussie as well and love her voice. When you hear her sing you know who she is. Its distinct and that is what makes her great!!

[DelrainFarm]

Dee...I in Australia too, and I thing she if fabulous, love her voice and her songs

[bigbrobbboi]

toni childs brings a tear to my eye, stirs deep feelings. i LOVE her voice thank you toni thank you Malturios

[Venu337]

I love her voice very folksy and soulful. Its all abt personal taste. I love "vocalist" rather than singers who utilize there voices in a divergent manner (Tracy Chapman,Randy Crawford,etc. This is a musician. You can have your pop tarts give me a artist

[dontkillnipper]

i'm Australian and i can't stand her! Don't really think it has anything to do with where you come from, more of what you personally like, and for me, this ain't it.

[mt4bp]

then why are you commenting on her song

[dontkillnipper]

i have heard her speak, she sound completely normal. i dont understand why she feels the need to sing like this. its stupiddd!

[floydmatt987]

@dontkillnipper A lot of people like this, it's very distinct and original. We Aussies and Kiwis have always appreciated her more than anyone else though.

[hikurukutai]

@floydmatt987 right on she is da bomb yea we do know our sounds

[elvenwishes]

@floydmatt987 I so agree I love her voice and now she is on Rock Wiz...quite ironic that I am watching her on TV and listening to this my fave song...Yes us Aussies have good taste :).....

[floydmatt987]

@elvenwishes I so agree. I didn't know she was on Rock Wiz. Crap, I would have watched it. Hopefully it gets replayed.

[elvenwishes]

@floydmatt987 I didn't know it was her till Tania intro'd her.... look up rock wiz and it has the episode which is 86 enjoy it I will again :)

[80ssounds]

@floydmatt987 dam straight brother i was just commenting earlier how people keep talking about her as if she was a nobody in new zealand she was huge i say it again she was up there with the best of all the eighties artists she reminds me alot of jennifer rush hope that doesnt offend anyone

[candicepierce]

@floydmatt987 Too true. I'm a Kiwi. Saw her in concert recently. Awesome!!

[SvendBosanvovski]

@floydmatt987 Possibly because this was used as the TV theme for the Olympic Games broadcast in, I think, 1996. Isn't she Canadian?

[Vamp1963]

@SvendBosanvovski Born in California...

[SvendBosanvovski]

@Vamp1963 Thank you. She has a beautiful face, strong and proud.  Is she Native American?

[tall32guy]

@SvendBosanvovski I think she's part Italian and part Black. Native American, I am not sure. Possibly...

[Deekonmix23]

@floydmatt987 Thats true...she is amazing!!!

[gayelpaso]

Great. The more I hear Toni sing, the more I want.

[dumbutt3000]

Why does she sing in that comical voice? Many rarrvars to crarrse, brarr rarr drarr.

[welchsuccess1]

Toni we want more from you please!! Love ya, love ya.....love ya!

[flyingtewks]

Just saw Toni in concert tonight. The voice is still full and powerful. Awesome.

[lillLHT253]

[naganokumas]

Every now and then a voice comes along that endears you to it.

Toni Childs is one.

Dare I mention others with Toni's voice in your head.

Macy Gray comes to mind.

[Zeebo89]

i will never stop being amazed at the power in this beautiful womans voice...Toni Childs wow what a legend!

[ha11ett323]

Love it......love her voice.........great post

[xshalashaska]

finally found the good version of this song.

all the others are gay and slow

thanks for uploading!

[bushdidit2u911]

Reminds me of my brothers and little sister.

[matt1234au]

The ad was the National Australia Bank (NAB) and it came out during the Commonwealth games

[crazygirl3077]

If this is the only song you have heard of Toni Childs, you are MISSING OUT! ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!

[octogarden72]

Why did she chose to sell this song to a bank in australia for cash? Is this for the dolphins?

[InkaPeru]

this song takes me back to 1996

[manflory]

Unparalleled talent!

[RainBeauRhyder]

John Lennon & Harry Nilsson did a good version too-----I think of liking versions of songs like foods....I like some for different reasons and try to find something in each that brings me back.

[wayne511219]

i saw her live tonight in shepparton VIC, this clips great! but she will knock your socks off when she is standing infront of you. what an amazing woman. we love you toni. i left her concert realising lifes not about diamond rings and fancy things.. its just so good to be me. here with you, and you , and you. x

[tqsuited]

do u remember an old tv ad using this song? It had this girl doing swimming lessons, aspiring swimming star, i cant remember the business.. maybe a bank. but the punchline was something like "don't give up on your dreams, we won't"

[Bustanez]

I bet the stupid Shakira copied her style to sing,

[foxxyfierro]

what a voice!!!

[foxxyfierro]

stephen, its a cover of a very old song, she does it well

[stephenjamescrowther]

wow this lady has a different voice I alway's remember her for her voice and how she sings did she write this song or is it a cover from her? sounds great five stars given sj.

[Indigobush]

very good song

[donnadpr]

How could you forget Toni Childs, she's unique.

I put her in the same category as Tracy Chapman, love them both.

[thermality]

Thank you so much for uploading this video. I'd kinda forgotten about Toni since the Union album, and now I'm hooked all over again.

[only1McBoyd]

[JollyMunkie]

Where are the rest of your song, you sell out.

[ANDREWMUZAK]
