It’s because she is a Christian. A devout Christian. We are living in a Godless society. Trust me, watch how many horrific hateful comments I get. God bless her! I am devoted to her works.
This performance is mesmerizing! You can't get enough of it. Between the lovely, amazing voice of Oleta Adams and the incredible musical sounds of Metropole Orkest, the enjoyment of it is off the charts.
One of my favorites by her,she is such a talented vocalist,and to have an orchestra like this one behind her is totally awesome.Her voice is so unique,she is an underated angel in full flight,happily still listening in 2020💖💖
Her voice is everything,smooth,classy,sexy,moving,what we need today instead of this crap we hear now,classy lady with the big voice,luv me some Oleta Adams💖💖
She is beyond phenomenal! Her background singers are KILLING IT! Whoever hits that note in the line "his pockets are jammed" should have been given a gold medal at the end of this performance!
I own this DVD & it is INCREDIBLE!!! I Love it so. If we can get past this Covid-19 I will have her autograph it for me. I was Blessed to have seen he preform LIVE outside under the star. It was so Special......I purchased a few cd's to add to my collection & she autographed Every single cd & took an Amazing picture with my hubby & myself. #Blessings
My.godbrother & I went to see Oleta in concert here in New Jersey at the SOPAC ( South Orange Performing Arts Center) a few years ago & she was FANTASTIC!! Would love to see her perform again!! She is AWESOME!! 🎹
Smooth Jazz radio stations introduced me to Oleta Adams back in the good old days when great songs were still being written. ( Love94 Smooth Jazz ) Miami Florida.
I seriously can't stop listening to this version! Each time I listen to it, I discover a whole different element to the song. The violin section is completely ethereal at the 2:48 mark!
Note perfection and actually a phenomenal vocal physical specimen. Bringing the whole orchestra along with her. An artist for the ages. Non comparable sil tu plait ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After nearly THIRTY YEARS, I still have no idea what the lyrics to this song are. All online lyrics claim it's: "Within the rhythm of life My mind's made up Lucy's sign is a Chinese dragon..." That CAN'T BE RIGHT. WHO THE HELL IS 'LUCY' SUPPOSED TO BE?!?!?
![[FULL] Oleta Adams - Rhythm Of Life (12" Version By William Orbit)](/img/1.gif)
If there is a more unheralded, more underrated vocalist in music history, I can't think of their name.
Amen! To that!!!
Totally agree Carey !
Oleta and Rachelle!!!!!!
Oletha Adams
Love her! Always heard a little Donny Hathaway in her.
It's unfortunate in the US we don't cherish artists or music like this. We're stuck in a pop culture world of entertainment and most of it's crappy 😕
Well said!!!
That’s why we do these things in the Netherlands, we won’t forget and bring concerts like the Ladies of Soul.
Its because there are too many.
Agreed. Oleta is a legend but this arrangement just takes her and the song to another level!
It’s because she is a Christian. A devout Christian. We are living in a Godless society. Trust me, watch how many horrific hateful comments I get. God bless her! I am devoted to her works.
This performance is mesmerizing! You can't get enough of it. Between the lovely, amazing voice of Oleta Adams and the incredible musical sounds of Metropole Orkest, the enjoyment of it is off the charts.
She is absolutely amazing
She comes to Colorado almost every year and she's simply amazing!
Who's here in 2020 Covid and unrest! Thanks Oleta!
One of my favorites by her,she is such a talented vocalist,and to have an orchestra like this one behind her is totally awesome.Her voice is so unique,she is an underated angel in full flight,happily still listening in 2020💖💖
This song was always magnificent so it fantastic to finally run across a live performance.
Right! I just stumbled across this now. Listening to it through my headphones. Love every instrument I can hear.
you can hear her albums, every second...and you don't get boring...wonderful
Her voice is everything,smooth,classy,sexy,moving,what we need today instead of this crap we hear now,classy lady with the big voice,luv me some Oleta Adams💖💖
Oleta is a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice ... never forget 🎶🎤
I was fresh out of high school when she released this song. Twenty-seven year later and I could still listen to it for hours on end. ❤
🎶 " Give the girl a future, give her what she needs! " 🎶 🎤 And she's still going strong at seventy years old. 👏🏾💫💖
Sheer class....love this album still.....
She is beyond phenomenal! Her background singers are KILLING IT! Whoever hits that note in the line "his pockets are jammed" should have been given a gold medal at the end of this performance!
I heard Olita was discovered by Tears for Fears Roland Orzobal & if so WHAT A DISCOVERY!!!.
@@davidmorland4046 just so happens, Roland Orzabal is one of the writers of this song.
2:12 ain't no joke!
I've ALWAYS thought she's GOT TO BE 1of the BEST singers I've ever heard.
The whole thing is bloody marvelous!
LOVE THAT VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oleta Adams is simple the best! Thank you very much Oleta. From Brazil Ok?
I miss 80,s and 90,s music.
What about 2000s?
All repackaged from the 70s
Genius!
What a voice!!!She’s so great.
You can tell she enjoys her craft. Beautiful music
I've noticed whoever sings with the Metropole Orchestra seems to enjoy the experience immensely. Check out Gregory Porter with then.
I love this album, her voice, band, and beautiful soul.
Beautiful live performance!

Smooth Jazz radio stations introduced me to Oleta Adams back in the good old days when great songs were still being written. ( Love94 Smooth Jazz ) Miami Florida.
They're still being written.
I love her!!!!

One of my favorites? Such a powerful but sweet voice 💖
Australia 🕊️
I seriously can't stop listening to this version! Each time I listen to it, I discover a whole different element to the song. The violin section is completely ethereal at the 2:48 mark!
Dreaming about to watch full concert!!
Note perfection and actually a phenomenal vocal physical specimen. Bringing the whole orchestra along with her. An artist for the ages. Non comparable sil tu plait ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I agree with Dáryl. She and her background singers are exceptionally good. GOD blessed this girl with a beautiful gift.
Fantastic!

Hang on for the ride! What a fantastic combination of musicians. I've liked Oleta since her days with Salsoul Orchestra, and Metropole is top notch.
Het maakt niet uit, met welk instrument dat men bespeelt.. In dit orkest, zit men gebeiteld.... Grote klasse..

Oleta is Amazing. This version is slightly too fast in my opinion but brilliant
Waw she's so great!
She is very talented performer
é impressionante la padronanza della voce che ha.
Love it but should've definitely slowed it down to grasp the full effect of the song. Not meant to be rushed..
After nearly THIRTY YEARS, I still have no idea what the lyrics to this song are.
All online lyrics claim it's:
"Within the rhythm of life
My mind's made up
Lucy's sign is a Chinese dragon..."
That CAN'T BE RIGHT.
WHO THE HELL IS 'LUCY' SUPPOSED TO BE?!?!?
Great talent
Gorgeous
💓
HAPPY 69TH BIRTHDAY
