Appreciate she is the author, and it is nice, but the Cocker-Warnes cover has more life to it. I think it was meant for a duet, either way, it's better than the crap people sing these days!
@phunkyfeelone You totally said it. There's a reason this song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Movie songs like that are hardly sung (or even written) anymore.
Thank you Buffy for all the beautylul mucic(: One of your songs I hear a lot at the time
is UP WHERE WE BELONG it is from the 60 allright...but in our time I think that the Mother Earth ned so much love and so does we human beings LOVE LIFT US UP WHERE WE BELONG MUCH LOVE FROM DENMARK(:(:
Phil Driscoll also covered it. i thought he was Joe Cocker.. But in any case. I have been BRAINWASHED to hear it the other way I can barely listen to her sing it and she wrote it. I love it. I love this lady but for some reason my brain keeps hearing JOe Cocker. I hope she got paid and gets a royalty from it. her versions sorta sucks.
this is the first time i heard this version. it's beautiful. I'm listening to the cocker warnes version at the moment, and can safely say, that this is far superior.
The Cocker and Warnes version is sung like two people talking about themselves, whereas this version is sung like a godess looking down on the world and stating the words as fact.
You know, I never knew she wrote this beautiful song. I have always loved Buffy Sainte-Marie, a gifted songwriter and such a beautiful person. You can always recognize her sweet and unique voice.
classy lady beautifull song song with feeling and emotion would be interesting to know where the inspiration came from touching stuff thanks very much
Absolutely brilliant, just the other week I was listening to this and the radio started playing Joe Cockers/Jennifer Warns version just as this was ending, Their version is good but not as soul searching, this was a class performance.
Buffy wrote the original melody.Former hubby,the late great Jack Nitzsche helped her round out the music.Will Jennings wrote the lyrics.All 3 won an academy award for the song.It was written for the movie An Officer And A Gentleman.Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes had the big hit with the record.Buffy has written some of the most beautiful music for sure.If you've never heard her song The Jewels Of Hanalei find it on her Quiet Places Album/CD. And if someone can, please post it on Youtube for us.
Thanks Rudyodo for posting, thanks Buffy for writing it, shame on you Cocker for not crediting it to its author. I'm in my 50's and live in the UK and I never knew till now that Buffy wrote this classic.
Get by with a little help from your friends Cocker???
Buffy, a beautiful lady with a beautiful soul. Do you remember when you were in Daytona Beach with the Ford Caravan of stars? (1963) We met you there. 3 young Kentucky guys. Alan, Gary and Mack. You played my Dulcimer at the table in the dining room at the Howard Johnson Inn during breakfast and helped me see that peace takes real courage. Will never forget your kindness, humor, wisdom and great singing and playing. Love this song and many others that you wrote. Kind regards, Alan
I prefer this version over the one sung in the movie. (Nothing against the other artists, just my personal preference.) I think she deserved an Academy Award for Soldier Blue, too. IMO, it was at least as worthy as this song.
SHE is so beautiful. And the song. I would like to be her for a day, I think. Or even a minute. God bless her, this woman that is a friend to the world. (Bonus: She's Canadian, along with Joni Mitchell. Us Canadians need people like these).
Technically, this was an amazingly challenging song to compose. It is one that reminds me of the best Lennon-McCartney compositions. Certainly, you can imagine this on Rubber Soul almost two decadeds earlier. McCartney said in an interview that he loves this tune. Amazing music. And Joe and Jenni.fer have Oscars on their shelves. Very cool!
Although I've liked her since the 60s, I never knew Buffy wrote this song. It's nice to hear her do it after so many years of hearing the hit version. She brings kind of a 'quiet dignity' to it.
I met her yesterday and I swear, she is the the nicest person in the world! She performed here, in Dawson and I cried because it was so beautiful. The world is lucky to have her! :')
Your spirit was felt this weekend...I prayed for your journey to be nothing less than AMAZING this year!!! You deserve all the happiness, all the love, and all the gifts this life can offer. Fly soo high Aapaywasay...share your light with the world!!! Be proud and be strong! You are a beautiful Anishnabe man...Anushiik, Miigwetch!
Buffy is one of the most inspirational NATIVE AMERICANS, yet very few peoples recognize her effort ... she wears her heart on the outside fo all to see.
About Buffy Sainte-Marie "up where we belong" : I agree, she is much better than Joe and Jenny. She adds context and depth to the song and it magically becomes so much more than a "love song"...
Saw her perform this song at Heritage Park, in Mission, B.C. She was astounding. That voice of hers carried in the outdoors, surrounded by mountains. It was one of the best concerts I've been to. She was so down to earth, she was very refreshing.
Buffy Sainte-Marie in a 2008 interview claimed that she had been blacklisted. "I found out 10 years later, in the 1980s, that President Lyndon B. Johnson had been writing letters on White House stationery praising radio stations for suppressing my music"
Additionally, she claims that the distributor of the records said they had been shipped, no one seemed to know where they were.
Looks like the government got them in transit...
I always wondered why such a great talent wasn't more well known.
that's so wierd, because she really did disappear off the radar in the late 60's - at least in Australia - thank God for YouTube to hear her again - and I hope to see her in Glasgow's Celtic Connections in January.
I never heard of her... until i was looking up this Song on wikipedia, because I was absolutely sure that it was written by Joe Cocker... well it wasn't. I'm glad I found her, she is a fantastic singer with inspiring songs.
She's wonderful, from the time when she started writing songs until now. She's never stopped being talented, and she never will! You're wonderful, Buffy Sainte-Marie!!
I think many of you listeners are young folk, which is a testimony to the destiny of this beautiful world, that you will pass on the good will, for I believe listeners to great music emanate in other aspects of life. In short, I can get old in peace with you all at the helm. To all of you, if you like this song, listen to "Moonshot," incredibly soulful and beautiful.
I love Buffy Saint Marie since I found the vynil LP "Little Wheel Spin and Spin" in 1971. Her voice moved me. Then I heard her singing Circle Game in The Strawberry Statement movie. What memories!
She runs an educational program out of Norway House in northern Canada that is called something like 'Drum Beat'. She retains her heritage that that's fine.
I praise this woman for all that she has contributed to life. She has made such an impact in my life. I've not ever seen her, and many of the songs she has written I really didn't know she authored. She is such a vibrant electrifying individual, her words have soul.
She's organized a group in Norway House, Manitoba, Canada, called something like 'drum beat'. It's for the 'first nation' people to retain their heritage. She's a proud person that has the ability to do it without 'ego'. Listen to "Starwalker" and her honesty is there.
For LilliePuttin: Sorry! I hit thumbs down by mistake. I love your comment and I agree 100% with you. I have never seen Buffy, but I know people who knew her in the 1960's, in her hometown. They all agree on how great she is! I adore her music. Sorry about the mistaken rating, I clicked wrong!
To my understanding she's a Cree Indian lady from Saskatchewan Canada. And there does'nt seem to be anything wrong with her understandings of aything.
"In 1492 on October 12, that's when the Native North American people discovered Columbus"
Amen sister! "The eagles of war who's wings lent you glory were never no more than carrion crows. Pushed the wrens from their nest, stole their eggs, changed their story.."
"The mocking bird sings it; it's all that she knows..." I was in my teens (35yrs ago) when I heard this chilling song, a more accurate view of history. We may never live down that legacy.
Raw and honest as a solemn prayer!

She's organized a group in Norway House, Manitoba, Canada, called something like 'drum beat'. It's for the 'first nation' people to retain their heritage. She's a proud person that has the ability to do it without 'ego'. Listen to "Starwalker" and her honesty is there.

For LilliePuttin: Sorry! I hit thumbs down by mistake. I love your comment and I agree 100% with you. I have never seen Buffy, but I know people who knew her in the 1960's, in her hometown. They all agree on how great she is! I adore her music. Sorry about the mistaken rating, I clicked wrong!

Her version, the REAL version, has an emotional something that is lost in the other versions.

To my understanding she's a Cree Indian lady from Saskatchewan Canada. And there does'nt seem to be anything wrong with her understandings of aything.

Amen sister! "The eagles of war who's wings lent you glory were never no more than carrion crows. Pushed the wrens from their nest, stole their eggs, changed their story.."

"The mocking bird sings it; it's all that she knows..." I was in my teens (35yrs ago) when I heard this chilling song, a more accurate view of history. We may never live down that legacy.
