Absolutely best version, hearing her singing over the choral parts really completes the song.

I love the older crowd goovin' on this young music. Folk and Gospel make a good combo...

although famed music critic Albert Goldman once compared her to a Qewpee doll she was an interesting singer with the collaspe of acid rock due to the fact that its leading exemplars were all dead she and similar folkies? croce and steve goodman, bonnie koloc, took over the music scene until the advent of disco which like so many vile, evil, horrible and useless things came from england

Never would have expected it but this gave me chills. Fantastic.

This video is utterly fantastic all the way through, but it builds and builds to a moment of just pure joy between about 4:13 and 4:40 . . . the joy of an artist in command of her music just jammin' with her friends.

Like stevie nicks of the sixties, brilliant!!!!!!!

41 years later, I (18 y.o.) hear this song for the first time. I am absolutely astonished by hear voice, too bad I was born too late!

[Russomon]

That audience is freaking me out! It looks like the vast majority of them are in their 60’s. And when they clap, they clap on every beat instead of on the 2 and 4! (the way the choir is clapping) I think the term they would have used was “Square”, but it comes off much worse than that today!

The Edwin Hawkin singers are really kicking it! Great performance!

[gitchigoomi]

Hey is that J.J on the right at 1:56?



[lasktguy]

@Guitarhack5 I disagree with you completely. In no way would I ever describe her singins as yelling. She has a beautiful voice and just because she's singing the song with alot of power behind her voice that doesn't mean she's yelling. Oh yeah, and the Edwin Hawkin singers were amazing too.

@Guitarhack5 Have to agree that the choir is brilliant. I have a cd with a very long version of this which is brilliant. Shame it was always cut
