Jean Redpath lived in the house directly opposite our house in Lower Largo in Scotland. We didn't see her all that often because she was away touring a lot of the time, but she was a lovely lady. Always very friendly and she had a lovely smile.
I too miss Jean very much. I attended several Summer Schools at Stirling and was born in Airthrey Castle where they were held. A beautiful voice stilled .
"Some Kind of Love"is alovely song by John Stewart , former banjo player of the Kingston Trio. Writer of many fine songs including, "July, You're a Woman" and the megahit "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees
@@rosemma34 He continued performing through thick and thin....even while requiring oxygen. His "Scotch and Soda" was always in demand, and, I think, he will be remembered as the voice of The Trio.
The first time I heard Jean was at the Burns Festival in Ayr, Scotland. She was doing a joint performance with BBC actor John Cairney . She came over to Edinburgh University later on and sat on the floor of my dorm under the sink and sang for us until the wee small hours. She later came to Virginia and sang at ODU and stayed with me. No one like her.
Now WHO is the nasty person who gave this lovely lady a thumbs-down? Shame on you. Jean Redpath died in 2014, after a long glorious history of singing the finest Scottish songs.
A unique and beautiful voice . A lost to Scotland . I believe in traditional music , as the true history of Scotland . No internet ,phone , we made our songs and music and passed time with music .Sadly this too is fading . however Jean Redpath was the most beautiful and influenced somewhere their must be a voice who can carry out our traditional songs ,
Beautiful spirit, beautiful voice. I didn't know she had died. I first found her in a serendipitous record choice in San Francisco library in 80's. Best serendipity ever.

I first heard Jean Redpath on the Jimmy Mac programme BBC Scotland singing an English love song and was smitten once and forever. I am totally grieving her loss.
Such a lovely grouping of songs.They prove to me that this lady possessed great versatility.Scotland and the world has lost e true gem in this lady. Great talent. Lovely voice. Sadly missed. R.I.P. Jean. You are greatly missed my many.
I saw her in concert in San Francisco in the 1970's. Not only did she sing a beautiful concert, but she taught the audience the wonderful round I still teach my students: "I sat next to the Duchess At Tea". It's on UA-cam and a teacher is teaching it so you can learn it.
I’m Japanese. This singer is really wonderful. Her voice is heart-warming. I feel her singing voice is She expresses and conveys the heart of Scotland. 何度聞いても、 素晴らしいです。
IF YOU COULD WAIT (Shay Healy) If you could wait a moment longer, The sun would rise before the morn. The shadows from the skies would vanish, And the day be twice as long. Every minute be an hour, Every hour a loving kiss, Every kiss a fresh spring flower, Sparkling in the morning mist. If you were here again beside me, The running waters I would hold. And turn their flow to you, my lover, To wash your feet, your hair of gold. Every drop a silver crystal, Every crystal all aglow, Every glow a breath of beauty, From your skin like dimple (?) snow. But since you've gone, the light has faded, Birds are silent in the wood. The grass still trampled in a hollow, Marks the spot on which you stood. Every tree a sad reminder, Every branch a memory bare (?), Every memory tinged with sorrow That you are gone and I still care.
What a beautiful collection of beautiful songs
Sung by a very great artist of proud people and their love of music

The best female Scottish singer ever, no question.

John also is no longer with us.
Bob Shane died recently, so all 4 of the trio''s original members are gone.

You lucky lucky person. Redpath's indescribable voice!!!!
Katherine Pollard: how lucky you were to keep that memory for life and for sharing it with us. Absolutely, no one like her.

I always loved Jean Redpath’s gorgeous singing of the songs of Scotland

were those the folk song duets?
@@evelynmoyer9069 I do not recall duets, seems just her lone voice.
@@chrisg307 The album Dad brought home was Jean and another woman singing American folk songs with beautifully tight harmonies.

Wonderful singer R I P

Blessings forever to dear, sweet glorious Jean.
Ne'er saw her in concert, so I wonder now if he'en I shall e'er see!

I am so sorry I never got to see this wonderful singer in person. Her autobiography is very interesting.
I miss Jean Redpath so very much every day...
I wish Jean could have stuck to Scottish traditional songs, Americana just do not suit Jean Redpath's range and excellence.
The playlist isn't showing unfortunately. What is the name of the first song? It's beautiful. I'm Scottish, and proud when I hear such talent!
It is an Irish song by Danny Doyle.
IF YOU COULD WAIT
(Shay Healy)
If you could wait a moment longer,
The sun would rise before the morn.
The shadows from the skies would vanish,
And the day be twice as long.
Every minute be an hour,
Every hour a loving kiss,
Every kiss a fresh spring flower,
Sparkling in the morning mist.
If you were here again beside me,
The running waters I would hold.
And turn their flow to you, my lover,
To wash your feet, your hair of gold.
Every drop a silver crystal,
Every crystal all aglow,
Every glow a breath of beauty,
From your skin like dimple (?) snow.
But since you've gone, the light has faded,
Birds are silent in the wood.
The grass still trampled in a hollow,
Marks the spot on which you stood.
Every tree a sad reminder,
Every branch a memory bare (?),
Every memory tinged with sorrow
That you are gone and I still care.
@@kadoguy Danny also died recently; RIP
@@kadoguy Danny has passed away. He was a real gentleman,mand a great performer. I toured Ireland with a group led by Danny. Very modest guy.
How did I not know about her! This might be the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
