Always loved Johnny and The Tonight Show. It felt like Johnny had a fatherly affection for kd and really appreciated here astounding voice. I remember seeing "Two Cigarettes In An Ashtray" when it air the first time on The Tonight Show and being completely blown away myself by kd. I knew who she was but didn't know the power of her voice at the time. She shared, with my own Mother, a great love of Patsy Cline. I caught the bug later and listen to Patsy and kd fairly regularly. Such great talents!! Keeping a thought for Mr. Carson tonight.
the song simple has feed my spirit during the last four years of helping take care of my alzhiemers stricken father. his journey is done now and i walk a different path. thank you kd
First time hearing this Beautiful song!! KD is Amazing !! Such a unique, smooth ,voice ! Nobody like her !! Johnny Carson gave KD Lang some of her first air time on a popular show ! He loved KD's beautiful voice as well !
Johnny had such a respect for kdlang, he loved kd and gave her an open invitation to his show to come on anytime. I am so glad kd came on and did this tribute song to Johnny. Beautiful song, Johnny would’ve been proud Jay Leno has no class. He wouldn’t know legend voice if it bit him in the butt. kdlang is one of the best voices of our generation, hands-down!❤️
I pray that there is a God and a Heaven. When I die I want to hear this voice for eternity. It is a lot to ask, but that is what I want. To fall into darkness and hear K.D. sing forever. And this is not a sad request.
Walter Mirren I agree, from the first moment I heard her sing I have been amazed by her talent. It really couldn't BE heaven if there is no k.d. singing!
Yes, that CD is absolutely amazing. Always felt she should have gotten the GG Award for that album. Time has passed, and now she’s gotten the GG award for her body of work. ❤️
Agreed. He was exceptionally rude to a personal friend of mine in public that was uncalled for, but when it came to talent, he brought us the best of the best and he helped up-and-coming singers and comics make it to the next level.
Love love this woman. Shes went to the outer banks to be the woman she is ..and has meet more celebrities than i can name as lady Diana as one so many. Love u Katie
Johnny Carson would have loved to hear her sing that to him. He would have had tears in his eyes. I hope he was looking down from above when this show was aired.
I was on the road and away from home for many years. This album, and this song, were absolutely a comfort and I ran to it whenever I missed home. What an absolute gift! 🖤
I was up and watching The Tonight Show that first time she appeared. Johnny Carson was visibly blown away, and he's seen and heard them all. Normally a new performer (singer, stand up comic) just took a bow when they were finished and the show moves on unless it's an extraordinary circumstance and K.D. Lang was one of those. Carson waved with his out stretched arm for her to come and take a seat. He was grinning ear to ear.
"I am calm in oblivion, calm as I ever can be..." this song is so beautiful. absolute perfection. every time I think I have a favorite k.d. song, well, I just don't. if I really was pressed to say, I think it would have to be, love is everything. class act is right, Arthur Dale:)
This was the end of a Tribute show for Johnny Carson who had passed away recently, she closed the show with this beautiful song. I wish I could have seen the entire show to see who else was on. When you are out of time, you are out of time.
@misspad7282 agreed. A little harsh. The on air talent has little say to the timing of commercials. Even worse on a tribute show where things can run long...Beautiful song by KD❤
Leno was nothing like Carson & k.d. lang was one of the best (extraordinary) singers I've ever heard.
KD blows everyone away. She sings with more feeling & emotion than anybody I've heard,& I'm 78.
gorgeous!

What a sublime singer
Totally agree!
What a great word. Perfect.
Couldn't be better
her voice, phrasing mesmerizing
She does not sing a song. She becomes the song.
Hear! Hear! 👏🏾
What beautifully #succinct comment #bravo 🥰
That is one of the best comments ever and so true kd has immense feelings and sensitivity
A perfect ending for a Tribute show to the late and great Johnny Carson.
Wowed everytime
Simply the best !!! Johnny knew she was a star right from the beginning !!!
That playful smirk when she finishes the song…❤
Her voice is the beauty of authenticity.

Dale Blake What an Angel she is Mr. Blake. DAMN! THAT VOICE! Thank you Sir.
Walter Mirren
I agree, from the first moment I heard her sing I have been amazed by her talent. It really couldn't BE heaven if there is no k.d. singing!
UNDENIABLE Proof There Is A God And It LOVES US ALL DEEPLY... 😊
I agree. To hear her voice forever would be wonderful. Love you k.d.
Beautiful song
It's amazing , - The depth and intellect blended with high musical intuition that's grossly under appreciated ...Pearls before ...
How beautiful.
Beautiful song, beautiful singer. I've played my "Hymns of 49th Parallel" CD to death and played this song during my wedding ceremony. Thank you k.d.
Yes, that CD is absolutely amazing. Always felt she should have gotten the GG Award for that album. Time has passed, and now she’s gotten the GG award for her body of work. ❤️
She couldn’t put a foot wrong, wonderfull.
One person I would love to meet . You are a beautiful person and you put your heart in everything you do.
Johnny Carson may have been a lot of things but that man could detect talent and he nurtured it. God bless him and kd lang!
Agreed. He was exceptionally rude to a personal friend of mine in public that was uncalled for, but when it came to talent, he brought us the best of the best and he helped up-and-coming singers and comics make it to the next level.

Totally loved the Hymns of the 49th Parallel. 4 ever in my heart!
Sad, gorgeous - we should all have such a tribute!
Johnny Carson would have loved to hear her sing that to him. He would have had tears in his eyes. I hope he was looking down from above when this show was aired.
I was on the road and away from home for many years. This album, and this song, were absolutely a comfort and I ran to it whenever I missed home. What an absolute gift! 🖤
It’s one of my favourite albums. Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since it’s been released.
k.d. *NEVER* disappoints!
Beautiful song, inspirational
Awesome song from my favorite artist ... thanks so much for this upload
The most true person within herself AND such a most beautiful voice…heartfelt.
This was my husbands and mine wedding song in 2002. It was beautiful.

Beautiful voice :) Thank you for sharing
I was looking for this song since I saw this specific show...
We played this song at our wedding a few years back. Absolutely beautiful and perfect sentiment for the day.
It was our wedding song too (2002). Walking down the aisle to this song was one beautiful experience.
Ours too, first dance 2012! This year we celebrate 11 years 💝
Just beautiful...
Forever miss John

🖤 I WORSHIP YR TENACITY,
THIS BEAUTIFUL STRUGGKE WE'RE IN. 🥹
I wish this vid included the interview.
if you mean with kd, there was no interview, they ran out of time.
I see, thanks for the info

k.d. holds an audience in her hand.....
🤯❤️👍
I am so glad Jay is off air now. No respect to the greatest female vocal of the century.
Why do you say that? This is just a clip of k.d. lang singing and he hugged her at the end.
@misspad7282 agreed. A little harsh. The on air talent has little say to the timing of commercials. Even worse on a tribute show where things can run long...Beautiful song by KD❤
So beautiful.
