k.d. lang is a Canadian treasure... she is widely known as a singers singer and has won 4 grammys. Tony Bennett which she did several duets with called her the best singer in the world. Her album Ingenue is one of the best ever according to Rolling Stone and several other publications. She started out as a honky tonk country singer who worshipped Patsy Cline but with her extremely powerful voice soon mainstream took notice. After her first appearance on the Tonight Show she quickly became one of Johnny Carson's favorites and he had her perform regularly. If you want to hear her range and control..her performance of Hallelujah at the opening ceremonies in Vancouver 2010 Olympics is iconic. I have seen her live many times and she is better live than on record. My favorite song of hers is Barefoot which is hauntingly beautiful. She had a #1 hit with Constant Craving. She is an amazing song writer and unmatched vocalist. Glad you got introduced to her.
Constant Craving was on her Ingenue album. My parents came to visit me while k.d. was in town for that tour. I had to run down to the Opera House to get 2 more tickets. Third row, center! My dad left in love, my mom walked out enthralled. They both told me they never thought I had the best taste in music (back to my Janis Joplin days). It was a night we talked about often before they died.
I saw K.D. At Walden’s lounge in Edmonton when she was in the very beginning of her career! She was wearing a dress and cowboy boots! Hair in pigtails. I love how controversial she is. She is from Southern Alberta, Canada. She’s a vegetarian that used to piss off the ranching community in Southern Alberta, when she would denounce meat. 😂😂😂 Her voice goes straight to my soul. Love K.D.❤❤👏👏👏💫💫🥮🥰🇨🇦🇨🇦
I'm a Canadian woman the same age as k.d. and my appreciation of her in every aspect has only grown over the years. She is exceptionally talented, brave, and intelligently outspoken on matters of importance.
Sir, you were just SCHOOLED for your sass! kd lang is one of the best voices to ever have graced this earth. That is why Roy Orbison had her duet the song with him in the '80. Please, dive deeper into the kd lang rabbit hole. You will be amazed.
@@sandrareynolds3003Here I am, sitting in Canada... when he said "where did you come from?"... I answered out loud Canada... When he asked "what else do you do?"... I answered Hallelujah! 😅❤
K.D. showing her chops here for the one and only Roy Orbison - she sang in concert with Roy backing him up on this and this time she let's it fly ....... strong vocal indeed.
Made her a star. Already a star. Of all the singers in the world, he asked Kd to record Crying as a duet with him. Love how she looks to the sky and said thank you Roy.
KD LANG IS AN ICON AND A LEGEND. I HAVE FOLLOWED HER FOR YEARS. SHE HAS ONE OF THE TOP 5 VOICES OF ALL TIME. REAL, AUTHENTIC, AND ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
to me, the worst of his self-congratulatory hype (I was there! It made me big!) was saying this made KD a star. She was ALREADY an enduring star or she wouldn't have been performing there.
I After hearing KD Lang singing “Crying” for the first time I just couldn’t stop playing it again and again until my grandson noticed it and told me “Grandma, you’re obsessed!”😟😄😄😄 “”
k.d.lang is a powerhouse of a singer her version of Leonard Cohens Hallelujah is fabulous he said no one else need to cover the song as she has sung it to its ultimate state of perfection it can be put to bed ❤ some suggestions from her early cow punk days Turn Me Round/Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray you can see them both on the Johnny Carson show video, Write Me in Care of the Blues, Bopalena, Hanky Panky, Big Boned Gal some later k.d her biggest hit Constant Craving, You’re Ok, The Mind of Love, Miss Chatelaine, Sexuality, Barefoot her wolf howls are spine chilling, even later k.d I Confess, Sleeping Alone, Asleep With No Dreaming, Sugar Buzz, Perfect Word, Blue Velvet with Tony Bennett is sublime ❤❤ Willie Nelson’s nickname for her is ‘PIPES’ you can see why ❤ she consider herself semi retired now xx love love love k.d ❤❤
I am so happy that Kd Lang is being [rediscovered]? by as many people as possible. I am writing this from Calgary Alberta Canada. at 12:30 am after a Beethoven concert. I first saw KD in Vancouver in a tiny,and I mean tiny bar in Vancouver called the Railway car in 1978. We all knew she was destined for stardom. I have been listening for 48 years now. The reason she is great [and this is from an interview with her] is very simple. She LOOOOVES to sing and you can't fake that. Chills every time. She is from a small Alberta town and has not forgotten her roots.that's part of who she is but she really belongs to the world, generation after generation. You must listen to her live performance of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah at the Canadian Juno awards in 2005 [still on line.] honouring his lifetime achievements. . He was in the front row and she sang directly to him and once again brought the house down. So this is the long of it to let you who she is and where she comes from. Great to see your reaction if a little sceptical at first. Thank you for that version of crying. Take good care now PS used to live in NYC
Willy Nelson called KD Lang pipes....Canada's finest....you need to watch her perform Hallelujah live at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver....jaw dropping ❤🇨🇦
Had the opportunity to see her live in Providence, RI several years ago. After a remarkable show featuring a selection of her own tunes, “ Cryin’ “ came along. What occurred next was, in my opinion, the performance of a lifetime. Not only were the background singers and band first rate, KD Lang’s voice was sublime. During the song her tone started like a smooth fine wine and as the song progressed her voice grew until as the song approached its’ climax, looking around the audience there honestly was not a dry eye in the house along with many couples in warm embrace and weeping. Truly an incredible experience and surely one not to be missed. One of the most remarkable singers of our time.
Do you have any idea how talented you have to be, to hold a note with that much strength and power for a full 20 seconds??? A lot of artists can do it, but with a much softer note by closing off the back of their throat. She is one of the few, if perhaps, the only one who can use her full open throat.
Kd Lang also has the best version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Yes my black Jamaican family agrees. We listen to music a lot. Sir, Kd Lang is wicked!!!
K.D. Lang. Possibly the BEST combination of Beautiful Pipes and Soulful, Beautiful, interpretation. She is utterly unique. People in her audiences just shut the !@#$ up and listen, spellbound. AMAZING ❤😂
Canada's gift to the world. for those young people who are only now being introduced to KD Lang ... I suggest you purchase her album entitled. Shadowland. it is one of the most beautifully produced recordings ever.
I watched it on tv that night. Brought tears. Best performance of the night. I liked how she looked up and said “thank you, Roy” Roy Orbison gone way too soon, but this night was a great tribute to him.
Four minute standing ovation. The audience was full of talented musians, bands, singers etc who knew the song and appreciated. Listen to "constant craving" and Hallelujah.
When K D Lang was much younger than she is here in this video, she was a backup singer for Roy Orbison. So I can only imagine how much singing this song meant to her. I have several of her albums. Her voice is indescribable!
someone once wrote a movie for her called 'salmonberries' and she sings the main song in it 'barefoot'. it is haunting and beautiful and she howls like a wolf in it. not to be missed.
I am willing to argue that k.d. Lang is the best female vocalist ever :)
No argument here.
I've always loved her voice, mellow beyond belief.
Don't have to argue with me. I agree with you.
Effiee Pasaro
I'm a straight woman, but every time I see/hear K.D. from the 90's perform, like every other straight woman, my knees buckle.

Looks like a man
Her version of Hallelujah live at the Olympics will knock your socks off
Her version of Hallelujah at The Logies May 2010 will do even more.
Like out of this world knock your socks off!!!😍😍
My favourite KD song for sure X
Just what I was gonna say...❤❤❤❤
If you dont know Patsy Cline...kids hero and ck out Mandy Barnett...they channel her
Sir, you were just SCHOOLED for your sass! kd lang is one of the best voices to ever have graced this earth. That is why Roy Orbison had her duet the song with him in the '80. Please, dive deeper into the kd lang rabbit hole. You will be amazed.
Yahoo!
I saw that performance! WOW! First time I heard KD sing, and never forgot it. Excellent duet!
I cannot think of anyone past or present that will ever ever outdo her version ❤
💯
Her voice is beyond description, she gives me goosebumps from start to finish, simply amazing!
One of the best vocalists of the last 25 years. Control, power, tone, delivery. She is the envy of every singer.
Yes, one of THE BEST singers of all time! ANOTHER...CANADIAN!
Canada has a plethera of talent out there in the world and she is one of our shining gems.💎💎
@@sandrareynolds3003Here I am, sitting in Canada... when he said "where did you come from?"... I answered out loud Canada... When he asked "what else do you do?"... I answered Hallelujah! 😅❤
She received a 4 minute standing ovation for Crying, one of Roy Orbison’s best songs!!!
"made her a star" ??? She was already a star!
Heidi. Correct. She was there because she was a star
totally
Yes but she wasn't a superstar like him
Exactly.For years.
Her version of " Hallelujah" is so perfect and almost painfully beautiful. I had only ever heard Roy Orbison sing " Crying" but this is masterful.
There's a video of her & Roy doing a duet, which is brilliant.
there duet is even better
Glenn Campbell did Crying also. He also did a great job.
She has the most beautiful voice. Much RESPECT
She takes my breath away everytime I hear her voice. Her voice is just such a gift that she shares with us.
Hallelujah is AMAZING!
Live, at The Logies May 2010, best version.
Love how she looked up and said "thank you, Roy." Never saw a combination of raw power and total control like that before. Brilliant!
In my humble opinion, I think she's the best female singer ever.
Definitely THE BEST
Jeanne C. Riley and Bonnie Raitt.
Powerfully talented song birds with natural power and gifted voices, along with K. d. Lang. ,❤
I would have to agree!! ❤
She hit country in the 80s and blew it up!! She had the golden voice. Her voice is amazing.
wish she'd had more music, no matter how much. we need more. She had an iconic voice, just extraordinerY!
The incomparable k.d. lang
The duet of Roy Orbison and K D Lang is eerily haunting, the best performance of Crying l have ever heard.
So incredibly beautiful‼️
She is so OUTSTANDING!!
Hallelujah.
Oh, yes! If he loves "Crying", he'll definitely LOVE "Hallelujah"!!
K.d. Lang is wonderful. No criticism
Wow! I had no idea she was so great! Flawless amazing! A real artist!❤
K.D. showing her chops here for the one and only Roy Orbison - she sang in concert with Roy backing him up on this and this time she let's it fly ....... strong vocal indeed.

She’s spectacular.
She is a complete artist. Anything she performed is worthy.
Every time I heard her sing this song,, it gives me huge GOOSEBUMPS. KD Lang is amazing

Constant Craving has been my favorite by her.
Oh, my gosh, YES!
Mine too
She has an incredibly pure voice.
I'm loving your reactions and comments to KD Lang singing (Cring) by Roy Orbison!❤
Her version of this on MTV Unplugged is even better. KD is amazing, no matter what she sings.
Hallelujah at the 2010 Winter Olympics is fantastic.
Yeah, the MTV Unplugged version is moving. Should have watched that one.
MTV version is unbelievable. The pain in her voice is heartbreaking. No one on this planet does emotion as well a K.D.
I sit tranfixed when I watch her sing at the Olympics
Very proud of KD....she's a Canadian girl from Alberta.....love her
Amazing breath control and lotsssss of emotions in her voice
Well she slayed that one.
KD Lang is a national treasure. Amazing talent and a beautiful soul. Her voice always gives me goosebumps. Love her!!
Her voice is a power house!
She does an absolutely 💯 brilliant version of Neil Young's "Helpless ", she apparently filled in at a concert he couldn't make

You should watch KD Lang sing Hallelujah from the 2010 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies in Vancouver Canada. Absolutely astounding.
She is absolutely a brilliant singer ❤
Hallelujah at the Montreal Olympics…🔥🔥🔥
Vancouver Olympics, not Montreal

And incredibly humble, too. Her voice strikes a chord so deep in my soul, I cannot help crying every time I hear her sing anything.
there are no words to describe her voice. just music, glorious music. heart and soul speaking to the divine.
K.S. Lang is one of our Canadian gems. She has the most remarkable voice. Has sung with a multitude of artists. Google her
