- This number is from Lena's 1981 TV series and without a doubt Lena's greatest performance ! This is so brilliant , emotionally moving and Lena gives herself completely to this performance! This is the greatest performance by any one artist ever filmed , no one could ever come close to Lena's brilliance!

You can tell that she's not only performing this song, she feels every word & you can see it in her eyes. Especially at the end where she is still there in that world until the applause snaps her out of it. Such a tragic story of a beautiful & talented woman who was taken far too soon because of the pressure.
we will never find talent like this on x factor
I have watched and rewatched this footage. I can feel that she was in so much pain and couldnt see a way out. Rest in peace to a very special lady. x
Zavaroni would have been one of the true greats without her demons. This is worthy of Garland, Streisand, Franklin,or Bassey. This is an epic performance. There is no recording of this, it is only available on UA-cam. In 1981 she was 18.
This girl was streets ahead of Shirley Bassey. She had a versatility and technical ability that went way beyond her years.
Gives me goosebumps. Her talent was so very extraordinary but instead of thrusting her into the limelight with all it’s pressures, maybe she’d have been happier on the tiny, remote Scottish island she called home.
An amazing vocalist....who puts so much emotion into a song and can sing pitch perfect...you can hear and understand every word......and where are the required ear pieces that today's artists can't sing without ...even though i lived through her era i never realised what an amazing singer she was......but now i do !!!!
Just like me. Lived through that time and never realized how great she was.
I was so in love with her as a kid. Makes me cry.You can see her soul come through.Everyone used her. So sad.
Lena was a wonderful talent with such a superb voice. Watching this gave me goosebumps. Her voice control, pitch and interpretation of this song is amazing. Her life was so tragic.. forced to diet from a young age as a child, relentlessly over worked and exploited by a pushy showbiz agent throughout her career, Lena was an overnight child star whose gentle soul couldnt cope with the immense fame. She was one of the most talented entertainers in the UK and her early death was just heartbreaking.
Pure class I could listen to Lena zavaroni all day gosh what a voice gone but never forgotten ❤️❤️😢
Cannot believe this only has 30 comments. This is just unbelievable.
It's 2023 I think we're all going nowhere blast out some lena❤
My mom loved her , great voice she would be about 60 years old today & would still have her her great voice 🙏
Beautiful RIP❤
bless her tender heart
She should be mentioned more in our entertainment circuit. She shouldnt be forgotten
The Brightest Star of Britain. One of the Best anywhere. RIP sweet, Pretty and such a nice person Lena.
I interviewed Lena (for radio) at the Playhouse Theatre in Edinburgh back in 1980. I got the impression that she was bit of a lost soul. At the time I felt she needed a big hug, and to be told that she was loved.
Such an exceptional talent.
R.I.P. Lena. You're missed.
She was someone special for sure
Yes today where are our children going to day , in a world without Guidance in2023
Lena was haunted singing this song you could tell it’s her crying out for help, the confusion and going nowhere in her little mind!
What a performance ...she left this world too soon 😥
There will NEVER be anyone to compare with LENA the lady was someone unique RIP beautiful lena,I would've sold my soul to the devil just to have met you ❤
Recorded in April 1981 - over 40 years ago - Lives forever ❤️❤️❤️
wonderful, she was a true artist ...
i am sad everytime i am listining to this but glad she is is not forgotten...
fantastic voice
LOST FOR WORDS 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Fascinating to those who don't sing.
However there often has to be a need for a singer to sing a song and I think the AOR (artist and repertoire person) knew exactly what they were doing. She really taps into the psychology and intent of the song (remember we are watching someone in their teens, you ask where is that intuitive knowingness coming from...) Neil Sadaka wrote from a different era though we all see the signs displaying themselves right now. A cry for help these days is never heard, just one less mouth to feed cynically. Let this song not be a song of hopelessness but a chance to stop "Going Nowhere!. I really really miss her........, " Very Deeply ".
I love this song keep rewathing x
She was so talented.
I never appreciated her at the time but, damn, she was good!
I love her performance of this song best. Rest in peace you flawless angel.
Truly Brilliant ❤️ !!!
She just so loved singing. What a wonderful smile at the end. ❤
Brilliant.
It's such a sad and troubling story about Lena. Nowadays I don't think it would be allowed to take such a young little girl out of her home environment. She wasn't allowed to be a child. 💔💔💔💔💔
I agree but at the same time we should all be grateful her gift was spead to the world whem she had such pure and innocently powerful voice at an early age.
@@wondrousmindtrick8450 yes that's true and I did think she was a very special little girl. A bit like Judy Garland and her early days in Hollywood.
Thank you Lena for this and many songs. forever in our thoughts and prayers. Love always ♥️
13000 views should be 13000,000
1000 of them are mine...I watch this almost every day :)
Fabulous
Darling girl….so amazing and emotive…god bless you x
OTD 4 November 1963, you were born, a special, beautiful and powerful soul that felt too deeply and saw too far ahead ,
Wow!
Pure.I cannot speak.
Such a beautiful talented person to loose. X
How the heck I just come across this I don’t know ,what a performance!she lives that song at about the 4 minute mark you can see her eyes snap out of a trance like state and to think she died of anorexia a few short years later!! Rip Lena what a waste and a dam shame!!!!
It's sad her music is not available and most people don't know her
Love her x
I wonder if Neil got to hear Lena's version.
Lena Zavaroni was singing about her own struggles in her life, in this song 🎵 & you felt that was coming, through. Very dramatic like Shirley Bassey she not only sang but she was dramatic alongside it, a great tragedy like Janis Joplin, & Amy Winehouse, they left us too soon.
A lot of comments from people who don't know anything. I like to think that Lisa knew her own body/mind.
Lisa????
And her name, probably.
DIED FROM EATING DISORDER.....SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED BY THOSE VERY CLOSE TO HER BUT WASN'T....LOVE IS NOT JUST A WORD IT'S WORDS PUT INTO ACTIONS......R.I.P. ANGEL LENA.......BOB S. FOX, USA
Sadly people's nearest and dearest often are completely unable to save their loved ones whether it's from drugs alcohol or mental illnesses like eating disorders, if families could save them there would be very few drug addicts and alcoholics and mental health wards would be almost empty.
It’s clear they did try, though. Ultimately the only person who could help Lena was Lena.
Idiotic and ignorant comment.
I wonder if Lena recognised how poignant these words were to her own sad situation, an innocent child pushed and shoved about….for financial gain of t😁
