Anyone else think that pressing the 'like' button is going out of fashion? Over a quarter of a million views and just over one thousand 'likes.' Annie is superb here by the way.Thanks for putting it up!
Dear Annie, Raine Carosin here and can you believe, at 48 I didn't hear you before this night and I fell in love... your voice is tonic, healing, uplifting, enlightening... thank you so much for sharing yourself, as it was, tonight was a bit of a downer but when I heard you singing, (93.8fm south africa, leon economedes (dj)), I was suddenly transported away from the pain which became like a memory, and I found life... sorry so emotional, but you know how us females wish for total expression!
First time I've heard this lady, such a beautiful singer, reminds me of Jamie Lee Curtis, and she sounds like the lady in Steeleye Span, what an amazing voice - "Love it !" ☺️💜
QUEEN ANNIE....QUEEN ANNIE QUEEN ANNIE QUEEN ANNIE QUEEN ANNIE QUEEN ANNIE QUEEN ANNIE...... What MORE needs to be said! Even the poor audio quality can't disguise the voice of angelic chorus!..... I'd ask you to marry me, Queen Annie, but there must be a better man than me, for you out there, and a QUEEN should only have the BEST.... I'm eternally grateful that you allow us mere mortals to enjoy your singing..... Can you tell I like yur music?!....
Annie played NYC last night and she was awesome. There is NO one like her - her voice is extraordinary - she has a 5-octave range. In her encore grand finale she went one entire octave in one shot and sustained that note FOREVER!!! Go RENAISSANCE 2009!
Just discovered Annie and Renaissance thru youtube. When ever I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes. Such a wonderful angelic voice. I can almost see in my mind the greengrass lands of the UK, and Stonehenge. This could be soundtrack of 2012 and the rebirth of humanity. Citizens of the planet. No more war. No more divisions between us all. Maybe I'm dreaming. I can see it possible when I hear this song. Thanks Annie. We all love you!!!
I love Annie, I have been buying her records/Renaissance records since I was an early teenager, 1976, when this song was a smash hit. I was at this concert of hers in Philly in '97 and, as at nearly every single one of her PHENOMINAL, BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC concerts I have been fortunate enough to attend over the years, I have always noticed an audience ratio of about 80%-20% Men to Women, lol. The guys just can't seem to stay away, Annie, as I cannot; you are simply one of the best!
What a voice. And on top of that, she saved legendary bassist John Wetton's life as he was less than a month from dying due to alcohol-induced liver failure. ❤
I 1st saw Renaissance at a free show on the waterfront in Philadelphia in 1977. Fell in love with Annie the moment she hit the stage! She's still incredible!
Great to find videos by Annie here, as well as Renaissance. I listened to them so much in the seventies. Annie is still one of my favorite female vocalists..the voice of an angel.
I wonder if people hearing Annie sing for the first time feel what we long-time fans feel. At the TOWER Theater in Phila year ago I ran up to the stage and handed her a special flower, a "Bird Of Paradise." She loved it, held onto it, and used it as a pointer as she introduced her band. I was in heaven!
Stunning vocal technic !!! Amazing how constant and beautiful her voice is while performing a lot for many years ...I would definitely love to learn about her vocal exercises ... LUV 4 ALL
I seen Renaissance open for Al Stewart around 1974 at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia I was instantly hooked
Fell in love with her voice at 10 years old driving about with my dad in his old truck, I think pn 8 track but not sue, then seen her on tv in 76 and been in love with her since.
My pappy was from Morrisville and we occasionally visit. I think I am going to have to make tracks for Doylestown the next time we hit Bucks County. This is talent. And she must have a lot of guts, too..surviving breast cancer. Tom in Utica NY
Qué linda voz y que buenas melodías tiene esta formidable mujer, admirable por su lucha contra un cáncer que le aquejaba. Además de ser una excelente cantante, ha sido pintora y diseñadora de modas.
Nunca esqueci as musicas do Rennaissance...a cara da minha adolescencia! E Carpet of the Sun era uma das q mais curtia...muito bom ver,ouvir e relembrar!
@Seahawkwes - OMG. I have to go. If I have to drive out of state. I absolutely can't miss them again. My heart is racing right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I thought a couple years ago was to be their last tour and I missed it because I was in Costa Rica.
2011 Fall tour starts in September ! Check the Site for info and tickets. I got mine tonight! My seat is 3rd row at Infinity Theater in CT on 9/16/11 . (There weren't any front row seats open.... but I have a feeling that I'll enjoy the experience anyway) !
I do still listen to Renaissance, by any measurement, probably my favorite band of all. The world has changed, but their music can still pull me back to center. ("Lost the way in my confusion, an illusion") Austin, Houston, in the '70s but this upcoming tour is most welcome news! I will certainly try to make it, to see and hear them at least once more. My girlfriend and I made it backstage in Houston. That was so, so wonderful to meet all of them in person. I will always cherish that experience.
I could not agree more! I saw them back in the 70's with Strawbs. 2 awesome bands. I wish I had known Renaissance were at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA in Oct. 2012. I'd love to have seen them. Sad to hear about Michael Dunford.

Stevie Nicks could not hold a candle to this woman! Annie Haslam is the BEST!
Why would you even mention Stevie Nicks!? She has sounded as if she is mumbling for years.
For shame! Evening mentioning Nicks in the same sentence is a crime.
Ya no hacen música como está...que hermosa voz !!
Music is not a competition!
Amen! Voice has been shot and "covered" since 1980!@forcelifeforce
Annie..godness
OMG! Even if Annie is a few years older, she's still gorgeous and has a voice like an angel.
Professionally trumpeting the high notes. That’s not a “voice” … That’s a divine instrument!

One of the best voices since the phonograph has been created!

What memories. One of the best female voices in folk.
And prog Rock 🤟☮️
Wonderful voice and very charming lady.

One of the people who trusted UA-cam in the back old days
Oh my GOD...she sounds EXACTLY the same. :-O what an amazing God given talent.

An absolute amazing performance from one of the great female vocalist's of all time.
Prog rock queen! Her voice is still Gorgeous
What a incredible voice, amazing , it's like more than 40 years ago. Wonderful...💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Great voice.
Nice vibrato......
Class.....
This is the 5 octave voice I fell in love with back in the 70's! Fabulous, Just Fabulous!
I saw them live in 1976. You wouldn't believe how she sounds live. Just stunning.
What a voice. And on top of that, she saved legendary bassist John Wetton's life as he was less than a month from dying due to alcohol-induced liver failure. ❤
Nobody hits those high notes like Annie
@janjean1186: Yeah. I especially love that sweet wiggle in her voice in certain parts of the song. Wonderful.
what a beautiful song
Wonderful. Was such a pleasure meeting you a few years ago ! Annie, you're the best!
Became a fan instantly.
Coming to Rochester NY Oct 8 and I can't wait to see her again after 20+ years!
Great pipes!
Annie's amazing seen her in 1975 sounds the same today
La voix d·Annie ,une exception qui m·aura toujours attiré ,Quel groupe agréable des années 65/70...Magique ...
My memory awakens sand my Annie is there. Some of the most beautiful music ever song and recorded.
I am so in love with this song. I can feel the sunshine on my face. It's impossible to imagine another voice besides Annie's singing this.
oh my God she sounds and looks unbelievable!! dare I say, even more so than the 70s/80s
She just gets better and better. What an artist...
I 1st saw Renaissance at a free show on the waterfront in Philadelphia in 1977. Fell in love with Annie the moment she hit the stage! She's still incredible!
I was at this show
Great to find videos by Annie here, as well as Renaissance. I listened to them so much in the seventies. Annie is still one of my favorite female vocalists..the voice of an angel.
Annie your truly amazing...!! I will always love this band and the many great songs they've produced over the years.
Oh my. I was into them in the late 70s, but I never paid too much attention to how she's really singing. Great unique talent.
And just like that 40 years fall away...amazing!
but we were here...SHE was here, we shared, we lived, we laughed and cried but WE WERE HERE damn it, we were it. :-)
♥ ♥ ♥....yes we were !! ♥ ♥ ♥
What a pleasure to listen to this wonderful voice....The time has any effect on her ....
Annie is a superb singer.
I was fortunate to see them twicein 1977.....what a beautiful lady then...and now. :)
Annie ist eigentlich immer und überall super.Schön ,daß sie auch auf You Tube zu sehen ist...
Part of the world that you 're living, you are the part that you 're giving
My all time favourite Hippy chick!!..love you Annie
What an amazing voice Annie has wow love her
I wonder if people hearing Annie sing for the first time feel what we long-time fans feel.

I went for a 3 year round the world on my 35ft sailboat and this song among many more of her songs helped me back in 1982.
Wow.....she still has the same awesome voice.
Annie is great ;)
What voice! What a song! How wonderful to be able to see and hear this goddess.👍🇧🇷✌️😊😎
The best ever female singer....No contest!
Wrong. Karen Carpenter and Alison Krauss
Heavenly voice
Bravo Bravissimo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Can't believe the sound engineers have a pitch correction set up on her - you can hear it kicking in unless it's just a bad recording?
Uno de los vídeos más antiguos de youtube!!
Sto lat Anno! Sto lat!!
Voice of a angel love the music
wonderful music with the wonderful voice of Annie Haslam
greatest female singing of all time nobody comes close
Fantastic Singer though The Late Karen Carpenter was also very special..
Thumbs-down! Karen Carpenter and Alison Krauss
From my home town - Bolton❤
Another great song written by Betty Thatcher. She wrote most of the lyrics & posted them for the band to work on in the studio.
'Super Annie ' !!..great voice and backup group ..
Raymond U.S.A.
Amazing...still ...amazing.
Qué linda voz y que buenas melodías tiene esta formidable mujer, admirable por su lucha contra un cáncer que le aquejaba. Además de ser una excelente cantante, ha sido pintora y diseñadora de modas.
Se recuperó del cáncer? , espero que si... 🇪🇸😍
