Jennifer Warnes was a fantastic singer (maybe, still is?). What a pure voice! But also freakin' hot and sexy in her shy, natural way! This is how it's done ladies.
Well said and well put ! I've always loved her voice and her looks ! I find her incredibly attractive ! And from what I've read she's still performing & recording ! Good for her ! THANX for your comment ! :-)
Jennifer Warnes is the only woman who has sung on three compositions that went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song...from “An Officer And a Gentleman”, “Dirty Dancing” and “Norma Rae”.
Since this was early 1982, I have to guess that she got the phone call not long after this that invited her to sing the theme song with Joe Cocker to an upcoming film that was going to be called "An Officer and a Gentleman" and would give her one of her biggest hits.
I can't say enough good about Ms Warnes. Deep respect and fondness. A fabulous person and up with the best of female voices, in her own right. Fell in love when I heard her do "I know a heartache when i see one" long after I'd seen her on Smother's Brothers TV show. So you see, it a solid-root thing, long time thing, her and me.
Loved most of what you said, especially since "I Know A Heartache" is my favourite song of Jennifer's .. But your "her and me" comment was just way out of line .. Don't you know she's all mine ? 😉😄
@@wayne_twentyfive At this point, the woman had sung an Oscar-winning song in a big movie (Norma Rae), and here had to share the stage with a patronizing moron who proceeds to lecture her on Lawrence Welk. Pathetic interview.
Folks, the great singer's great songs here were "Could It Be Love" and "I'm Restless." She did a charming strange dance during "Could It Be Love." It ended up being on a compilation, not a fully new album. As usual we can't see the performances for some copyright clearance rights reason, right? How much would I need to pay to buy a DVD with the songs as well as the interview?
She only did one album in the 80s but had singles and music in four movies between 1978 and 1988. The 80s album was a tribute to Leonard Cohen because in the 70s she toured with him and was on several of his records. The album she talks about was never made or if made not released. Her only 80s album was released in 1986. I just read her biography. Jim Ed Norman, the alleged producer of the album that never got released, was also a singer and president of Warner Brothers Country Music division in Nashville in the 80s to 2004. He produced a lot of Anne Murray albums and Glenn Frey's No Fun Aloud. Because he was in Nashville he worked with Country artists. Everyone from Faith Hill, Dwight Yoakam, Beth Nielsen, Big & Rich and Hank Williams Jr to Kenny Rogers, Michael Martin Murphy, Randy Travis, Crystal Gayle, Brenda Lee, Gary Morris and Clay Walker. Jennifer's film songs were in Norma Rae, Ragtime, An Officer and a Gentleman, Dirty Dancing, and The Growing Pains theme even though an alternative version was used in later seasons with B.J. Thomas performing with a different woman. She did as mentioned work on a three Leonard Cohen albums in the 80s writing and performing with him. We Take Manhattan with Cohen was on her tribute album but later added to his album. 1993 was her next album, The Hunter, after the Famous Blue Raincoat album in 1986. In the 90s released only two albums. P.S. In another interview around 1987 she stated that she made albums including the one she mentions here but they were never released. That is ashame. To finish up she did have a best of album in 1982 but it was a compilation of 10 songs not any new releases although she put some singles in there.
I believe this was from the early part of 1982, which would have been before "Up Where We Belong" in An Officer and a Gentleman, which was released in summer 1982, and the song eventually peaked at #1 that November.
You mean 1986's "Famous Blue Raincoat." She is referring to "Could it Be Love" being one of two new songs on her "Best Of Jennifer Warnes" album, released later that year in 1982. Arista apparently told her they wanted a compilation album pronto with a bit of new material.
Such an asinine interview: “This is Lawrence Welk’s piano. Right? Ok, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with my current guest, I’m going to lecture her on Lawrence Welk before I let her talk.”
Two-and-a-half-minute clip and nearly a minute into it before Dick Clark stops rambling on to let Jennifer talk. He was always so amateurish when it came to conducting interviews with these musical performers on this show, like he had no idea how to do it.
Ask the Lennon Sisters about Lawrence Welk and the FACT that for all those years they appeared on his show that he never any of them more than "scale" (the minimum pay for someone to appear on t.v.). They made him millions, he paid then nothing. I'm sure they have stories to tell.
His lack of preparation was deeply unprofessional. What did Lawrence Welk have to do with anything? He says "This is Lawrence Welk's piano" and then has to ask the stage manager if that's true?
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic this is only a part of the interview and your comments are inane. You clearly don’t comprehend the point of appreciation but that of ignorance
His mansplaining to her about Lawrence Welk was bizarre, then he abruptly realizes that she's a guest on the show and he might want to ask her a question or two about HER appearance or upcoming work. It's incredible that such unprofessionalism was acceptable. He was consistently one of the most unskilled interviewers I've ever seen. His interview with ABBA was terrible.
The more of his interviews with musical guests I watch, the more it becomes apparent of how awful he was at it. Just look at him at 1:00: he’s off on some random monologue about Lawrence Welk and he starts wagging his finger at her as if he’s lecturing a kid. She should have slammed that piano lid on his fingers and pushed him off that bench.
If you think this is bad, watch his bumbling and laughably unprofessional attempt to interview ABBA in 1975. A high schooler could have done a better job.

She was one of the most underrated vocalists in history.
Jennifer Warnes is one of my favorite female singers. She has a beautiful voice. I just love her. 😍 ❤

I've always felt she was way underrated. Great singer.

Of course she still is…:-) just promoted her new album here...www.flickr.com/photos/emotiroi/28339701277/in/dateposted-public/

New album out!
Beth Till: Yes indeed, its lovely, I hope it does very well for her! :-)
Larry Welk's show taped at ABC Hollywood from 1971-82.
Great voice! Good singer!
I heartily concur !!
She has the distinction of being a singer on three Academy Award winning songs

Since this was early 1982, I have to guess that she got the phone call not long after this that invited her to sing the theme song with Joe Cocker to an upcoming film that was going to be called "An Officer and a Gentleman" and would give her one of her biggest hits.
Only other singer I know that has multiple Oscar award winning songs is Irene Cara(Fame and Flashdance)
The song from Ragtime mentioned was also on Oscar nominee

Just a real cutey pie! Easy to fall in love with her, frankly.
I have always wondered why Jennifer Warnes isn’t better known and a bigger star.

i didn't know she had such a long carreer
She was cute.

80s fashion!!!!
You can tell she cant see shit without her glasses! 😂😂 I just love her! 💕
What album is Jennifer referring to? She didn't release her next album until 1987.
You mean 1986's "Famous Blue Raincoat." She is referring to "Could it Be Love" being one of two new songs on her "Best Of Jennifer Warnes" album, released later that year in 1982. Arista apparently told her they wanted a compilation album pronto with a bit of new material.
Shes a pretty lady
Jenn was hanging with John Cale and Leonard cohen not Lawrence welk 😂😂😂😂
Such an asinine interview: “This is Lawrence Welk’s piano. Right? Ok, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with my current guest, I’m going to lecture her on Lawrence Welk before I let her talk.”
aint an interview when the host does all the talking
Two-and-a-half-minute clip and nearly a minute into it before Dick Clark stops rambling on to let Jennifer talk. He was always so amateurish when it came to conducting interviews with these musical performers on this show, like he had no idea how to do it.
I love Jennifer Warnes! This interview with more time given to Lawrence Welk is so deeply cringy!
Ask the Lennon Sisters about Lawrence Welk and the FACT that for all those years they appeared on his show that he never any of them more than "scale" (the minimum pay for someone to appear on t.v.). They made him millions, he paid then nothing. I'm sure they have stories to tell.
Why ?
His lack of preparation was deeply unprofessional. What did Lawrence Welk have to do with anything? He says "This is Lawrence Welk's piano" and then has to ask the stage manager if that's true?
Jennifer looks at him like he's a bug. She wasn't far off.
He is a Dick
wtf is that supposed to mean?
I think you misunderstood the entire interview
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic That's possible. I may have misinterpreted Clark's inane questions and apparent lack of preparation.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic this is only a part of the interview and your comments are inane. You clearly don’t comprehend the point of appreciation but that of ignorance
could be the worst interviewer ever
His mansplaining to her about Lawrence Welk was bizarre, then he abruptly realizes that she's a guest on the show and he might want to ask her a question or two about HER appearance or upcoming work. It's incredible that such unprofessionalism was acceptable. He was consistently one of the most unskilled interviewers I've ever seen. His interview with ABBA was terrible.

Dick Clark LOUSY interviewer !!
If you think this is bad, watch his bumbling and laughably unprofessional attempt to interview ABBA in 1975. A high schooler could have done a better job.
Around 0:55, she’s looking at him the way someone would look at a rambling drunk at a bar somewhere. He was embarrassing!
See 0:50 to 1:07 for a textbook example of "mansplaining." Embarrassing.
