Vikki is amazing! She's just 27 years old here with perfect power, pitch, control, and beauty!! And she's not afraid to tell the world how much she loves her man. BRAVO!
Vikki Carr and Barbra Streisand had the same vocal coach. How do I know this? I had her, too. Her name was Judy Davis, and Barbra even mentions her in her autobiography.
Vikki is one of the most underrated lady vocalists in the last 60 years. Powerful voice, nearly perfect pitch, and very expressive. This is a gem of a performance! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for posting the underrated “ comment “ that can be found on every music video. Vikki Carr won 3 Grammys, the Lifetime Achievement Award, appeared on Johnny Carson over 30 times and referred to by Dean Martin as the the best in the business. Oh yeah she has a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yeah I would say she’s underrated
@@Tony-r7v In today's world? You'd better believe she's underrated. In fact she's all but forgotten by the masses. While I agree that Vikki was a huge star in her day I'd bet that if you asked 100 people under the age of 30 who Vikki Carr is you'd get 100 blank stares. Therefore underrated and under appreciated.
My parents would play this on the stereo and dance in the living room. I always loved this song, but to be honest after seeing her on TV I had a huge crush on her.
Absolutely ... great musicians, terrific song, and an artist of unbelievable talent when compared to today's enhanced AI technology .. not that I'm saying that's a bad thing ... everything for a time and a time for everything 😊
What an awesome gut wrenching performance!! Song still hits home and pulls at my heart strings even after all these years, but it also reminds me I did make it, I picked the pieces off the floor, I put my heart on the shelf again. You really can survive a broken heart. You never forget, but you learn to live with it.
The mark of a true talent is how he or she performs live. I've had the privilege of seeing her perform live a dozen or more times. Even today she doesn't disappoint.
A true lady of the song and the scene in the United States and Latin America. Possessing a prodigious voice, although she began her career singing in English in the 60's, in the 70's she returned to her origins (she is of Mexican descent, as she is still alive) and began recording in Spanish both alone and with emerging and established stars such as Julio Iglesias, Ana Gabriel or Danny Rivera, helping to cement the growing musical presence of Latin artists or artists of Latin origin on the stages of the United States.
The original song written by Gilbert Becaud from France is called SEUL SUR SON ETOILE.....BUT....Mr Becaud loved the way Vikki Carr sang his song and he recorded the song in English and he called it IT MUST BE HER.
I almost forgot what a great singer she is. She also released several albums in Spanish that were really great. She was really popular in the 60’s and 70’s. I believe she is considered one of the most successful Latin artists of that time period.
Ms VIKKI has been my favorite lady singer since I was18. I'm 78 now and still enjoy spinning my vinel 331/3. I have most of her english records. Still the best voice.
Ms. Carr was a cryer . I was always entranced by her expression of sincere emotion . She and Judy Garland were so similar as vocalist. Both had indefinable talent .
Oh well, life before answering machines and cell phones. My mom used to do the funniest "take" on this song - it kept me in stitches as a young kid. Mom is now 86, and in dementia - I so I enjoy the memories. P.S. Vikki Carr was (and still is) wonderful.
Glad to see it! Ed mentioned this performance when introducing "With Pen in Hand" a few weeks ago. Ed also said it was written by Gilbert Bécaud. Originally, it was "Seul Sur Son Étoile" (Alone on your Star) with French lyrics by Maurice Vidalin. The English lyrics are by Mack David who was the brother of Hal David of Bacharach/David fame. Most famously, Mack also did the English lyrics for Piaf's "La Vie En Rose" and was much praised for that effort.
Great song. Describes how I felt when I was in a relationship in high school. Teenagers have such strong feelings! TY for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.
There has never been anybody who could sing this song as well as Vikki and for sure there will never be anybody who can sing it better than her. This is truly her song. The reason that this is such a great song is because of the incredible energy and passion that she sang this song with. She sang this song like her life depended on it. She was not only incredibly talented but also beautiful. Only someone very special could inspire such a song about them. Most of us can only dream about someday having somebody who loves us in such an unconditional manner.
Having a major nostalgic moment are we? I was about 8 when this song came out, but the lyrics are melodramatic nonsense but sung by an excellent singer. The Carpenters came out a few years later and did much better...then Whitney in the 80s, Mariah in the 90s. The list of amazing singers is long.
h 00:21, : In color or in black and white, Vikki Carr has a rare charm, to be found in the variegated musical World.- ( Aldo from Verona, Italy ).-🇮🇪 ❤️❤️❤️.-
Vikki Carr is sooo under appreciated by our fickle American Culture, or lack of it. And Sullivan's adult audience applauded nicely when they should have been on their feet cheering.
One of the greatest vocal performances in modern pop music. I can’t even imagine how difficult this song must be to sing, and yet she belts it out without even breaking a sweat.
Beyond "iconic", beyond "signature". I recall at that time, many others tried singing this song, but nobody came close to Vikki Carr. Further, although she sang some other songs, no other came close to being her greatest hit.
I am old enough to remember when this was the Ed Sullivan which we saw every Sunday . And one of my aunts was a swinger in my old hometown of NYC during the Mad Men era of the 1960s. She went to discotheques and nightclubs in Times Square! 😊
Ladies and gentleman, the great Florencia Vicenta de Casillas Martínez Cardona teaching a lesson not only on how to sing, but how to make you feel emotions with her music!
So much really GREAT music such as this used to be played all the time! It's unbelieveable how bad modern music is today, Young people today just don't even know what good music is.
Very simple they actually could sing then. These early artist put in thousands of hours growing up to getting their vocal cords to hit these notes. Do you think they do that today? Ya right good luck with that!
My grandmother Hildy loved this song. It’s why I love old music! I remember her playing it… amazing what we remember. I was about 7 at the time. RIP grandmom. Rest in Love! 1924-2007!
Magnificent. The incomparable Miss Vikki Carr singing her signature million seller. Thank you so much for this great upload. Now ... please give us more of the legendary Connie Francis!!!!
Her song might bring tears to my eyes, but I feel good when I listen to that song. She sang it with complete gusto. I felt like Vikki Carr put a lot of feeling into her song. The song is worth listening to. Her song on the Ed Sullivan show was played 3 days before I was born. I was born on January 3, 1968. I could feel the sensuality out of her mouth when she sings that song. It's her song I can't ignore.
“ truly the angel’s best “ Vikki stunning beauty and the voice of an angel. Instantly able to transition from Spanish into English and back in perfect form.
I was at this show at the Ed Ullivan Theater. I was allowed to spend the entire week watching rehearsals and the final showing Sunday afternoon. The primary performers that week was Steve Lawrence and Eedie Gorme. On that show were (my favorite) The Lenin Sisters, the cast of the play "Hair", and an act that I thought would never make it. They were The Muppets. My 2 friends and I were the only people in the Theater during the entire week of rehearsals. Edie Gorme yelled at me for whispering during her rehearsal of the song LOVE. Memories.
I Fell for this Beautiful Lady and Her Voice Years ago while in the later part of My Teens. She was being Harshly Criticized for Her Raw Emotions during Her Performances. This I found to be Ridiculous and Insaine. What Wonderful Emotional Performances Time and Time again. Makes me Wonder how things haven't Changed all that Much with Critics. They chastised Miss Carr for Her Emotions while they call a So called Pop Star that Sounds like A Bearing going out in a Motor a World Wide Icon. No Judge for Taste or Talent. Thank You Miss Carr for Your Music and God Given Talent❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For me Vicky Carr is the only singer that can give justice to this song...this is her signature song....shes great.
Bravo Vikki ont t'aime beaucoup gros bec et calins Montréal Québec ❤❤❤❤🎉
No one else should sing it.
@@benedictopatriana5563 It was originally written by Bobby Goldsboro to be sung by a man asking his soon to be former wife about raising their son.
@@angelman51266 It was written by Bobby Goldsboro to be sung by a man. And anyone should be able to sing it.
@@mikewebber2637 Bobby Goldsboro is great!! Did not know he wrote this. And yes, anyone with a fabulous voice should sing it. Thanks, Mike!
Vikki is amazing! She's just 27 years old here with perfect power, pitch, control, and beauty!! And she's not afraid to tell the world how much she loves her man. BRAVO!
When it comes to such great old music. Thank goodness for the internet.
The most underrated singer ever, Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, no match for this lady, I love you Vickky!
Vikki is incomparable! Love her!

Well, she's widely recognized in Latin America because of her songs in Spanish, a truly icon. 🎉

Pre Aotutune . . . those were the days.
Thankfully we have the internet to teach us just how things have gone awry.
yeah no auto tune here
No mic, so she was lip syncing but she is a great singer.
What an awesome gut wrenching performance!! Song still hits home and pulls at my heart strings even after all these years, but it also reminds me I did make it, I picked the pieces off the floor, I put my heart on the shelf again. You really can survive a broken heart. You never forget, but you learn to live with it.
So true
likewise..
Oh my! Vikki's live performance is better than the studio version. Vikki's got the pipes and the phrasing is perfection! 🤩
The mark of a true talent is how he or she performs live. I've had the privilege of seeing her perform live a dozen or more times. Even today she doesn't disappoint.
the strength of her voice reminds me of Shirley Bassey...two legends on our time. Awesome performance...one of my favorite songs
I like her voice more its sweet but powerful
Yes a bit of Shirley, another talented lovely lady !!
Just a killer chorus that really hits home. What a New Years Eve treat for the audience in 1967.
Rhythm section right out front, the way it should be.
Realmente, muy afortunados el público que pudo ver tanto talento aquella vez
What a bone-chilling performance. She really knows how to take a song to it's limits
A beautiful woman with an outstanding voice and knockout natural vocal style.
She sings like an angel, real emotion!

Eydie Gorme, of Sephardic Jewish ancestry is still a much loved singer in Spanish.
@@poetcomic1She definitely is as well. I always thought she was Mexican too, how cool. She is amazing with Trío Los Panchos!
She is 83 (2024) and still sings beautiful .

Watched the movie "Moonstruck" several times just to hear this song
Vicky was a great singer ! Beautiful & Classy !
Mexican American beauty !!

What an emotional performance. I'm a 67yr old chap with a tear in my eye. ❤
Since I first saw her on Ed Sullivan all those years ago, I’ve thought she was a gorgeous woman with a gorgeous voice!
The use of her performance of this song in the movie Moonstuck is iconic!
Iconic 🤣
That’s how I found out who Vicki was. The woman’s voice was so impressive I had to find out who sung it!
She has a special place in Heaven
She is a proud Mexican American. Her voice is as strong as another 🇲🇽🇺🇸 Linda Ronstadt!
Whitney Houston, Vikki Carr, Shirley Bassey OMG these ladies were the electric sound for me ❤️
Breathtakingly good live singing performance. Not sure I've ever seen a better one in fact. She was up there with the absolute best.
In the 1960s, my mom listened to easy listening WRTH in St.Louis in the evening, and this song always seemed to be playing.
what an incredibly intense and beautiful voice.
Glad to see it! Ed mentioned this performance when introducing "With Pen in Hand" a few weeks ago. Ed also said it was written by Gilbert Bécaud.

It is one of those cases in which when the adaptation is made, the lyrics change completely, moving away from the original...
@@edufau815 Oui, the French lyrics are much darker.
She is simply magnificent!
yes she is!
I remember watching this when I was a child. I loved it and remembered all the words to this song. So great hearing it again.
I always think of the movie "Moon Struck" when Cher's father plays this song everytime he would return home in the movie.....:)!
Talent.
Great song. Describes how I felt when I was in a relationship in high school. Teenagers have such strong feelings! TY for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.
Had her record played it over and over
What a Babe! I always loved seeing her on TV back in the day … I had a massive crush on her. Who didn’t?
Vikki carr and Shirley Bassey,just two of my all time favourite singers, I love them both.
Elle chante avec son coeur
I was 11 years old and had a huge crush on her when this song was released. What a singer and beautiful woman.
my mother had this on the LP stereo non-stop it seemed when I was 7 yrs old. It was her favorite song.
esa forma de cantar tiene...........un capricho del cielo.........................................................
I'm in love with her voice; she enunciates perfectly!
Heard her live in Tijuana back in the day. She has family there. Fantastic.

What a classy lady. Where has it all gone?
Vikki Carr is sooo under appreciated by our fickle American Culture, or lack of it. And Sullivan's adult audience applauded nicely when they should have been on their feet cheering.
The audience must have been tone deaf not to appreciate the quality of this lady's singing.
I always loved this song, only i was a kid at the time 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the greatest vocal performances in modern pop music. I can’t even imagine how difficult this song must be to sing, and yet she belts it out without even breaking a sweat.
