Esther & Abi sing Cottons Fields live. If you know what year please tell me.

Also, I know this video has already been posted. I posted this because it is longer, and the sound is clearer.

  • Kenne ich von Udo Jürgens.

  • what is this?

  • @Pitfossil I don't see why not. unless i've misunderstood something again

  • @raisin212k You prove me right by misunderstanding my comment. Singing in a foreign tongue instead of shouting at the restaurant personal in one´s own - my hat off to them...do we stay friends?

  • @Pitfossil While I do agree with your statement, sir, I am speaking of the aesthetics of musical harmony, and not of the pride on one's nationality when speaking a foreign tongue. You almost certainly understand, as a human being, that there are reasons we like some versions of a song rather than others. This is my only case regarding accents here. Cheers.

  • @raisin212k Both of them are fluent in German. And, matey - anyone who is ashamed to speak with a home accent needs his head banged against something solid.

  • Esther and Abi Ofarim were born in Israel. Esthers career started with an US-Movie, Exodus. 1963 both took part at the Eurovision Song Contest, they sung the swiss cotribution. 1965 they made a concert tour through Germany.

    It should not be possible, that Esther and Abi sing a goofy German accent ;)

    If you listen to Esther in German, she also is singing with an accent. I never had the opinion, that this accent sounds goofy!

  • Wunderbar

  • It's a little hokey, but not bad... good thing Esther's voice is louder than Abi's. You simply cannot sing this song with a goofy German accent and be taken seriously. No disrespect toward Germans. Just saying, music-wise, you know...

  • No just No! The USA can only feel this song black or white. People across the pond have simply can't feel it. Gimmick city all the way with this performance :(
