The problem is, people like her make it look so effortless. The modern generation think they don't need to learn the trade.... They should never have stopped singing lessons in schools. Not all of us can do it, but so what????
@macray1262 estan guardados en el corazon como el mas precioso tesoro y cuando HOY vemos o escuchamos algo hermoso... abrimos ese cofre para maravillarnos de haber vivido esos tiempos...
Why does this song bring such a pang to the my heart? Probably because I was a innocent who fell in love so disastrously and felt the words were meant for me!
The eyes are the windows to the soul. Look into the eyes. Yvonne Eliman rings true. Great, effortless, understated style, nothing forced and no overblown vocalising. I like the way that she isn't afraid to keep it simple and let the strength of the material come shining through. Great singing is much, much more than vocal power and tricks. There is such a thing as interpretative skill, working with the material rather than against it. This is a perfect fit between singer and song.
Oh, thank you for that. That would explain her looks. She must have had a hard life because of her heritage though. I know back then Americans where still hostile towards the Japanese, even if they were by all rights American!
I have a student who looks like Yvonne and she sings in my English Choir. Her name is Sheila Tovar and she's very talented like Ms. Elliman. Both have an exotic beauty and a lovely voice.
When I grew up I was taught that a Diva is a woman who takes pride in her hard work, who strives for perfection and never lets the bad get her down. A Diva was a woman who was professional and motivated. She never got her business in the streets, and even if she did she carried herself with dignity. That is a true Diva, not the shrill, egotistical, abusive snobbish trash they have out there now. This woman was a Diva!!!
She is, and its good to find a woman with strong voices who simply just sing, and don't play around with their voices to show off how good their voices are. She just lets her songs speak for itself. I think its sad that Diva's have been turned into something it is not.
I wonder was she mixed, with Korean or something? She has that beautiful oval shape to her face and slant to her eyes, I was just wondering, does anyone know?
I just realized she is wearing the consummate 70s outfit - gaucho pants, angel-sleeved blouse, and dingo boots! Wow!! Complete 1970s package!! I love it.
classy in the way that the female vocalists of the 70's were. such incredible poise and restraint. She didnt have to do all the noisey vocal gymnastics to belt this sweetly soothing song out.
@blitzgreg1 You're so right. What passes for music nowadays has become atrocious due a lot by these "vocal gymnastics" that singers in recent years have used. Yvonne Elliman and other pre '90s singers have such a great style compared to what I consider this showing off style of modern singers that makes them sound like a kid with no talent singing karaoke.
Me encanta darme una escapadita al pasado y revivir estos tiempos tan lindos donde te cantaban al oido y te hacian temblar de amor con palabras bonitas.- Mayita "Panama"
Si,te la cantaba con mucho amor y me pasaba horas cantandotela para que te durmieras,tu en Madrid y yo en Peru,te quiero mucho y hay cosas que jamas olvidaremos ni tu ni yo,y nadie jamas nos podra borrar nuestros hermosos recuerdos,un abrazo eterno,mi loquita.
No cabe duda que en realidad era muy hermosa y a muchos nos tenía tirando la baba, soñando que esta canción la cantaba para nosotros solos. Sueños de adolecente, al fin y al cabo.
YO solo tengo música,, no videos , si quieren las demás canciones me dejan su correo para enviarles, con gusto lo hago,,, confien en mi ,,, solo para coleccionistas de los CLASICOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
My Dad claims that he had sex with Yvonne and Bette Midler back in his heydey, ( being that both are from Hawaii). I laugh everytime he tells the stories. Anyway, Yvonne is hot in this video
Thanks for that... what a beautiful singer..she was dating Eric Clapton for a short time there... i wonder what happened to her? & what is she doing now?
Beautiful!!

Let it be, let it grow
Oo Love me please, just a little bit longer, together we can make it,
Our love is much to young to break it
