Truly amazing performer. Not just the strong voice but the natural way she is in front of the audience, no shyness or awkwardness. Others look as though they have been trained but Lena is so natural. What a shame her health took her life.
I remember seeing this live. I remember exactly where I was. I was 8 years old and enthralled by this little girl with a big woman voice. I only heard the song that one time but still remembered it all these years later.
What an incredible talent!!! No one ever sang "Mama..." better than L.Z. She would have won AGT, Idol, or any of these current talent shows. Lena you are missed.
i come back on my memory when i hear this song, i had te single disc, black of vinil, oh, i gonna cry, i was twenty in 1974 and i discovered lena, and now, internet let me found this jewells and the sadness of to know she, a star, is on a star. God bless her soul.
I was obsessed when I was a kid. I found the full record at garage sale for 25 cents in the 70’s. Funny how I haven’t heard these songs since I was 7 or 8, Annie in my 50’s and I still remember every word of all of these songs. Brilliant singer
wow what a great voice lena had. watching this brings back memories of seeing lena on opportunity knocks and lena was about 2 years older than me and oh boy i was in love with her and has always been my first love crush r.i.p lena your still sadly missed xxxx
We are the same age,we have the same first name.I cried that no one had my name and I hated it. My mother found Lena Zavaroni album and,I was the happiest girl in the world. We even had the same Buffy dress!

I remember seeing the on tv back then ! Just found out now she died in 1999 , very sad she had quite a set of pipes not like the trash music of today , biebs and drippy drake and k-9 west all suck !
That poor little girl, horribly pimped and exploited by adults, who ruined and ended her life at just 35. Her parents could and should have protected her. RIP sweet Lena.
She was so beautiful and talented! It is very sad that she passed so young 😥
She was a greatsinger

Listen to the difference in the applause when Lena is introduced versus when she finishes her number. She had them on their feet. R.I.P. Lena.
iI saw this performance when I was just about Lena's ge. I have never forgotten how spectacular she was.
I remember watching this live, I was 13, and I thought she was the most amazing thing!! I can’t believe she died so young. 😢
Very powerful voice despite young age 😮😍

She had real power in her voice didn't she? Even when she was older.
I remember this so well. I think every little girl tried to sing like her into their hairbrush.
Such a talented, beautiful girl. 💞

Jerry is such a darling... love him!!
Unbelievable talent, such a shame she was so young. It would not be the same now …..
Ha remember it we'll
Shame no one knew what anarexia was in the 70's x😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
When I was a child entertainer on a much smaller scale living rooms pubs birthday parties I had to sing that song but replace he with she.
My ears are bleeding
@RobertEllis2010
I agree. And she is only 10 on this clip.
I remember seeing the on tv back then ! Just found out now she died in 1999 , very sad she had quite a set of pipes not like the trash music of today , biebs and drippy drake and k-9 west all suck !
"If you close your eyes"? Is he straight up calling her ugly?
A very sad ending to her life . Depression and lobotomy and died weeks later in 1999 .
That poor little girl, horribly pimped and exploited by adults, who ruined and ended her life at just 35. Her parents could and should have protected her. RIP sweet Lena.
Britney spears sounded just like her when she was really young. But she changed her style and voice later on.
Britney Spears although a great talent has nothing on Lena Zavaroni . No comparison
Show me a video where Britney sounded anywhere near as good as that?
She hated this song bless her
It is a truly awful song.
Lena was great- Jerry was always a jerk.
i dont like how she sings swingin on a star
Absolutely Awful.
Says someone who does fk all with their life
Naya Rivera is much better than her
Child, please!
