    One of the best songs in the history of R&B or jazz, and her voice's timbre, soulfulness, power, emotion, and agility--along with her piano playing--are LUSCIOUS, poignant, and awe-inspiring. Oleta and this song stop me in my tracks every time. If I met her, I'd bow and kiss her hand. She and the song are bliss and joy.

    This song reminds me of my first love, he was from another country across the world and went home every summer & then returnd in fall. For 5 years I would wait months. When this gorgeous heartbreaking song plays it brings it all back. Oleta sang it like no other could have except maybe Whitney. Just beautiful & bittersweet. Thanks for the memories.

  • @lamusiclover2264
    @lamusiclover2264 Год назад +7

    Oleta was a background singer and pianist for "Tears for Fears", and they decided she needed an album of her own, after she was signed to a record deal, they helped to produce the album. Her career just didn't take off after that for some reason, thought she did sell better in the UK.

    • @normandavidtidiman9918
      @normandavidtidiman9918 Год назад +3

      That's not really quite true. In 1985, Adams was discovered by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, the two members of Tears for Fears, while she was performing in the Peppercorn Duck Club at the Hyatt Hotel in Kansas City. while they were on a US tour. In 1987, Orzabal and Smith contacted her to invite her to join their band as a singer and pianist on their next album, The Seeds of Love.
      In 1989, the album was released and the single "Woman in Chains", sung as a duet by Adams and Orzabal was a hit.
      This led to her being offered a recording contract by their record label, Fontana Records. After meeting with various producers,Roland Orzabal ended up producing the record 'Circle of Life' himself.

This song has been sung by a Swedish singer at my wedding in Sweden and has been always part of my life as you can see. For me the most undervalued artist in the world.

    This is such a weird memory to have but hearing this song reminds me of when a few friends of mine convinced me to cut out of school early one day during my junior year of HS (1991) and my friend was singing this song as if she was putting on a concert in the backseat of my other friend's car as we were driving away from the school parking lot. I wish we had camera phones back then because it was hilarious.

She was covering jimmy cliffs Many Rivers to Cross. It was so moving. Check it out. Also Circle of One, I Just Had to Hear Your Voice,Rhythm of Life, I Knew You When, Love Begins at Home.
