    Hello Stranger is more than a classic. That song and music goes right thru you and into your soul at the same time. Summer 1963.

    There was really never anyone else quite like her. I use to just hear that she had disappeared from the music industry after a short career, but this show makes me see there was much more to it than that. I have seen some videos where she sang her hits before adoring audiences in the 21st century, and that makes me very happy. A great singer who wrote many awesome songs, and at least one self-penned is an unforgettable classic that is now familiar to everyone's ears. Hello Stranger, so unique and lovely and enduring.

    there are so many advantages of living in a you-tube period, many of the life stories I have been watching on this channel took me back to a time in my life that I was so care free, and when music though lacking in areas was still the best. listening to all the artist I have not heard in years brought tears to my eyes.

    Crazy about HELLO, STRANGER as much as the flip side THINK A LITTLE, SUGAR. Played both sides on a tinny record player my father had just bought me that had three speeds--45/33/78--that I had discs for. Loved the lines: "Don't want to talk about the past, 'cause the past has gone/I just want to sit and talk with you, baby, all about the future 'cause it's been soooo long, so just think a little, sugar." Another masterpiece was SOMEDAY WE'RE GONNA LOVE AGAIN successfully covered by The Searchers.
    I love you Barbara. It feels so good to have you back again. How long has it been? Oooh, seems like a mighty long time...

    She one of the all time great singer and how she got screwed with her money is a crying shame. A lot of record moguls did the same with thier singers and we treat them like royalty. Barbara I played your hits all the time and I think you are the greatest.

    Barbara Lewis is, without question, one of the FINEST singers ever recorded on Atlantic Records…And that’s saying a lot! 👍👍👍👍

    If Smokey Robinson and Nancy Wilson had a child she would have sounded like the magnificent Barbara Lewis. N.B. she was an early exponent of the singer songwriter genre. She penned every song on her debut album Hello Stranger. Smart girl!

    She had one of the most beautiful voices, so clear and expressive. Had she had a few more tunes on a par with her 3 most successful tunes her star would've risen higher. There were a lot of weak and junky songs getting recorded in the '60s; it wasn't all smash hits. Barbara Lewis was no doubt financially ripped off like most artists in that era but she was also the victim of lackluster songs. That's surprising because it should've been so obvious that her voice was perfect for sensual romantic tunes which she sang with transcendent elegance but their attempts to have her do "teen" songs and up-tempo cutesy-poo tunes backfired. "Puppy Love"? I didn't buy it; she had the voice of a woman, not a 15 year old. I have her Best of Barbara Lewis album on Atlantic and it's unfortunately full of tunes that have weak hooks or unappealing melodies. She was not a one hit wonder; she was a 3 hit wonder with a voice that could take your breath away... speaking of taking your breath away, check out how "Hello Stranger" was used in the Oscar winning movie "Moonlight". THAT will take your breath away too; it's an example of perfect use of a classic record used in a film.

I allso surprise chancellor it wasnt mention she was good freinds with Sharon Tate and was one of two freinds that left Tate thst after noon before her gruling death of Manson murders. That eight hours they be killled. Lot people dont know that. Not even Barbria mentions it.

    CHANCE B: I loved this detailed bio of Barbara' life. However, you didn't mention her 1968 single release "You Made Me A Woman." I remember hearing this song on the car radio on my way to school. The song made an impression on me but then I never heard the song again. The song just disappeared. I loved the song and is one of my favorite of Barbara's single releases. Funny how some good songs just don't catch on.

    Thank you. I enjoyed this very much, especially with the added insights regarding the people who surrounded Barbara's career. I have a compilation CD featuring roughly 25 of her recordings, and there's not a dud in the bunch. For anyone who has never heard it please listen to her "Come Home" which is mentioned in this video and available on RUclips < ruclips.net/video/s_Nt99E2llI/видео.html > -- My favorite of all her fine recordings. Thank you God for this wonderful, wonderful artist! BTW "Baby I'm Yours" and "Make Me Your Baby" both charted No.11 on Billboard's Top 40, and "Make Me Belong To You" (yet another great recording) charted at No. 28 on Billboard's Top 40 (1966). Love ya, Barbara!!! 🤗💚🤗💜🤗🌺🌺🌺 9/2019
