My favourite song...ever. From The Poppy Family's 1971 album 'Poppy Seeds' featuring Canada's finest singer, Susan Jacks. Vinyl Heaven.

  • I have had this song on my Ipod for a while know and listen to it every day. I would like to know the background of the song? What a remarkable gift she has. Only a hand full of voices like Susan's in the world. If she ever makes it anywhere near Idaho I will buy the first ticket.

  • @DLHUMB Thank you for your comments.This is one of the few songs that The Poppy Family recorded that was not written by Terry Jacks.The only background to it that I know is that it was sent by the composer to Terry on a worn tape and was sung with no instrumental accompaniment.Terry immediately saw the beauty that Susan's amazing vocals could bring to the quite stunning lyrics.

  • Truly the voice of an angel. Thank you. (and the beauty of an angel as well !) I've been listening to a lot of Poppy Family stuff on Youtube and Susan's voice is just amazing - her diction phenomenal - something quite a few "singers" nowadays could try to emulate (but I doubt they could match). The bit starting at 1.23 is just beautiful. Do you think you could send her to Australia for a tour?

  • @chygwelanmeneth Thank you for seeking out this video.Indeed she does have the voice of an angel and if I could get her to Australia believe me I would,but just remember...we need her in England first.

  • this is one of my all-time favorite songs. i really appreciate your sharing this. will now share it with everybody i know. thank you.

  • @HotKit Thank you for your comments. I want the whole world to hear and appreciate this beautiful song and Susan's incredible voice.
