The people that disliked this song should get covid test done , because one of the major symptoms is no taste
facts
Its simply because they have no enough education to listen.
Boom roasted
😅🤣😂
Great comment
You can see that guy behind her literally falling in love. She is amazing.
The guy in the background is mesmerized with tears in his eyes! He was awestruck! How incredible it must have been to sit that close to greatness!
It’s has always been a mystery to me why someone with such talent didn’t become a bigger star. That gorgeous voice never fails to send chills down my back.
ditto💕
I know and Noone has her voice
Think about it... We sadly live in a racist world... :(
That's simple.....Oleta is God-Fearing.
The Music Industry worships a little "g" god.
@@dennisryan6370 That's rubbish. Throughout every genre, not every single artist or group reaches super stardom (globally or in certain regions). It's for various reasons. Sometimes it's lack of appeal to a broader audience (for various reasons), lack of promotion from record label, poor management, not picking the right singles, etc. I've seen artists lose steam due to having an outdated sound, or being completely ignored in one country while achieving fame in another.
Just because you're a great artist doesn't mean you automatically have all the ingredients to be a star. That requires having the right team behind you who KNOWS exactly what to do to maximize your strengths, appeal and exposure. I don't care if you believe in Leprechauns, that doesn't mean your album is going gold! You can believe in every single GOD from the beginning of time, that doesn't mean you're going to be a multi-platinum force that wins a Pulitzer prize for being the best thing since sliced bread.
Oleta may not have super star status, but she's been nominated for four Grammy awards and had two top 10 albums in the UK. That alone means a lot!
I originally posted this 4 years ago. We're about to celebrate our 30th anniversary, now. Still love the sone just as much.
I can't thank Oleta enough for this song. I had been married 4 months, when my Marine Unit was deployed because of the 1st Gulf War. About halfway through the deployment, my wife sent a tape with this song leading off the other songs she sent. We're about to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and during my career I have often had to travel for work. Every time I have to leave, I hear Ms. Adam's song encouraging me to get home.
+Jonathon Aumann :-)
that's truly beautiful
Beautiful connection to the song.
+Jonathon Aumann god bless you and your family.
beautiful connection to the song mate....brought a tear to my eye
To think we went from Oleta to Cardi B and Meg the Stallion. You are awesome Oleta....much love!
Followed her when she was a feature at Crown Center in Kansas city.
Good question. The funny thing is that in a decade’s time, we will probably get more artist that are even worse than Cardi B and Meg the Stallion
Wonderful Oleta as usual, she is so soulful... but let's not forget that Brenda Russell wrote this song and she is also a superb musician and songwriter.
Good point
Very good point About Brenda Russell ❤
YES. But Oleta put that special stamp on it.
How can anybody dislike this. The world is so full of hate an ignorance they don't even recognize real talent anymore smh
The musician sitting behind her is having the experience of a lifetime literally sitting within the incredible energy and love that Oleta is pouring into this performance. It looks like he's in pure bliss!🙏❤
Yes for sure I thought somebody else caught that!
he thinks he has the best job on earth, and he probably does.
I thought the same thing. He’s having a ball
He's about one note from a tear.
Jim Carrey look-a-like
Guy in the background at 0:59 is so beautifully in awe by what he sees and hears XD :)
I love the man sitting near the piano with headphones. His eyes glaring with tears tell the story of this song
When you are in the presence of greatness, it happens.
😂
To be able to control ones voice with such clarity above all those instruments is just sheer talent. Beautiful
I'd be honored if some fans of 80s ballads would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of GET HERE (If You Can) by Oleta Adams and JUST ONCE by James Ingram & Quincy Jones on my channel in tribute to the era. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
I was in high school when this came out I was about 17. I have been in foster homes and tools home until I was sixteen. I haven't seen my mother in a while so I took a bus and went to Galveston to look for my mom and my grandmother. Before I found my mom this song will play and I was just wishing and hoping that I can see her. Estate has taken me and my sisters and brothers because of abuse. And I still love my mother and I'm glad I found her. This song Encourage me to look at my mother and the rest of my family look for
them no matter what.
Being in the state custody I thought they'll never find my family. Unfortunately my mother died cancer why she was only 44 years old.
@Dino Buckhoy Thank you. God bless you
Faith Williams thank you for being you and sharing
Faith Williams hello dear sweet beautiful girl. ♥️ Thank you for letting us in on your story. I’m so sorry for the painful journey, and that your mom has passed. How are you today? Are you okay? Do you have an extended family?
Oleta is blessed with one of the most powerful voices on earth!
stormyday eugo I so agree
stormyday eugo yes she has a very powerful,and strong voice.
Omigosh, yes
Power..?
I don't hear that..
🐕🦺✌️🕶️
I saw Oleta in 1984 in Kansas City, before she made the big time. My wife I I went out 3-4 nights a week, listening to many great bands at Country Club Plaza. There were several amazing female singers. But Oleta’s manager, Gary Mack, told me one night that Oleta was the only one that would make it. Incredible voice, unique style - she was the one that had IT. Gary was right. I’m so proud of you Oleta. And so pleased to be able to say, I knew you way back then!
I didn't know she got her start in KC. So many great artists in that area.
In tears because her singing is so perfect and beautiful.
AMEN SISTA. AMEN 🙏🏾
@@lesant7659 согласен)))
IM IN TEARS RIGHT NOW! I LOVE THIS SONG!🎉🎉🎉And LOVE HER...
I was too! I thought I was the only one affected that way! This was so awesome! It made me love her even more! I believe Get Here was the first song that connected me with her so it may remain my favorite. I love others as well, but this was just superb!
Got me through the Gulf War
Thank you I'm kuwaiti and I appreciate your service
Hey TD! my brother, words are not enough to tell you how thankful i am for your service there. You are a hero. Thank you so much. My wife is a Major in the Air Force and just came back from 6 months in Kuwait so i appreciate you all. the gulf war is what made this song famous. thank you again TD. to hell with those that don't appreciate the military. they are idiots. i tried to get in back then but was denied due to my back. thanks again
Thank you so much for your support, WE really appreciate that :)
Respect! xx
td much respect!!
I think the guy behind Oleta is getting teary eyed. Also, she has really nice white teeth. :D
Beautiful lady, yes he is crying beautiful song
What a moment... What a Great Song!...
He looked mesmerized & Teary eyed. Mrs. Oleta Adams is Quite Lovely. My 6 year old daughter said mom I want to go to the dentist Everyday like Mrs. Oleta Adams! #Blessings
He is 😭😭😭😢😢❤️
I think the guy behind Oleta has the most Beautiful Eyes. I couldn’t help but notice his expressions . Such soulful eyes he has. Plus watching & hearing Oletas VOICE sort of had him in a trance I think.😍🙏
This is my love song to the soul mate of my life who hasn’t arrived yet……”I don’t care how you get here, get here if you can💥” Beautiful song styling artistry from Oleta Adams, that sound is catapulting me into the orbit of DIVINE!!!! Whoohoooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I feel the same ,when i find that person that we need each other so much you don't care how they get there. Ya Oleta has power at the right spots to drive the song to be true classic...LOVE IT
I am still waiting as well..............is she really out there ?
@@debnbhuy Not yet. I think it's a dream to find . Have you found that person ? If so cool.
I am just here for you my love, always and forever will! ❤
I am just here for you my love, always and forever will! ❤
Dear Lord, this is amazing!!!!!!!
She hasn't aged and her voice is amazing!
Angie Price yeah
She has aged , voice is amazing.
... VERY true! 👌🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🔥
Ms. Adams has that same magical musical ear as Whitney Houston did. She is freewheeling at the end to one of her most iconic hits. But she does it while listening to and while guiding an entire orchestra through her interpretation and timing. Amazing!
eric79boz Could not agree more. To be able to sing with an orchestra behind you, as Whitney, Aretha, Barbra could...makes you a musical genius. Even Diana Ross slayed it when she sang with an orchestra and the Three Tenors in Vienna.
chasenip2 there are many vocalists that “can” sing with an orchestra behind them. Not to take away anything from anyone you mentioned, however, as I enjoy all of them.
AMEN!!!
I wish people would stop always bringing up Whitney. But yes, re everything else
Ability to play piano 🎹 helps you with that
This song is so beautiful and she sounds incredible. The guy in the background is all of us.
WOW! Where has this woman been all of my life?
Fantastic performance. OA was class all the way.
And let's not forget to give credit to Brenda Russell for writing this masterpiece.
thank you I had always wondered who wrote this phenomenal song thank you for the information
I think this song single handily kept the country together during the first Gulf war . I know It gave us a sense of what's important and that was loved ones .
Nothing to say, Oletha Adams sings the sentiment ! God is good.
This & Whitney’s National Anthem.
You might be right. This, and Whitney
@@chasenip2 a lot of WH songs
2021
♥️♥️♥️ her pronunciations are so on point! That voice and the orchestra give me goosebumps! #onrepeat
Me too... I'm in awe!
When Roland Orzabal has produced you thats what happens.
This song got me through Army Basic Training in 1994 .. I missed my husband and family so much ! On our way back on the bus from
BRM a fellow Soldier would sing this for us 😘🇺🇸❣️
I burst into tears whenever I hear that song. It gives me chills.
Me too Mo, me too! It hits you in the heart!!
Mohammed El Mouâtaz the same with me even if im happy when i hear this song sad memories flash . . .
Sorry man 👍
I just have to watch and listen to that amazing performance from 2014 and I gush. Great for for a good eye flush.
This is just one of those beautiful timeless songs ❤️ 🎶
Love the song and a fantastic performance by the wonderful Oletta Adams. A great event, I wish the world can be peaceful one day before it's too late.
"Cross the desert like an Arab man" the imagery is immediate and visceral, and there's poetry to it, how delightful to watch her perform it live, unbelievable...
Credit the imagery in the poetry to Brenda Russell who originally wrote and recorded the song.
simply beautiful song, with lovely words,truly great hit,means so much.....❤thanks oleta.......
t
Came out during the Gulf war along with middlers wing beneath your winds ... Oh nope twas backwards lol. Still getting sand out of the undies wtf
One of the most powerfully talented artists of our time, but she consistently flies under the radar of mainstream popularity...why the hell is that?
Homertoeclipper maybe she doesnt want it. i was a working vocalist for nine years, i wouldnt have taken mainstream fame if you handed it to me
lm sandy Well, that may be it...we all have different levels of comfort in our motivations. Good on you for your accomplishments and traveled path.
Homertoeclipper I allways wondered the same.... I think peaple (the Mass) is not yet musically prepared.... she is one of the most talentous singer we may listen
maybe she didn't want to sell her self unlike others who have no talent and sell sex to make it big. Mrs Adams is a real talent us music fans long for.
Because she doesn't show all her Goodies and she is classy and Respectable and she has True Talent she doesn't need all the voice enhancement. Like All the other Studio singers out here. She sounds like her record live which many just cannot do. She is truly gifted with the gift of Music. A Real Talent and real Lady.
Wow! This took me back to my husband's deployment from Ft. Benning, GA to the Gulf War. This was my "hold on song", and I will never forget the strength that God blessed me with every time I heard this song, until my husband got home. Thank you Oleta! What a blessing your song was to me and the many military spouses who were waiting for their spouses to get there to them.
This song did help Military Soilders and Sailors make it home
+Kevin Dickson Kevin, I am so glad that the soldiers found comfort in this beautiful song! Thank you for your service! 👍
Thank you for sharing this...
God bless you ALL husbands AND wives for your service and sacrifice!!💕💕💕
@@1966kdickson to
Beautiful, after all of these years, it has brought me to tears. She, her vocals, her eyes, her face, her hair, her teeth, her poise, her gown, the orchestra, the raw emotions, the class, the style and cohesiveness of it all is not an easy task and I just gave her a standing ovation right here in my living room! Brava! Brava Ms. Adams!
Beautiful in every way.o
What i wouldn't give to have such a voice! God must be lovin it!
love how the musician in the orchestra is getting his life! he looks like he has tears in his eyes
He does have tears very emotional
His thoughts: "I can't believe I'm getting paid for this".
Oh, yeah..trumpetist show his emotions he felt in this songs..But, Oleta maybe is just a lil cold, isn t ?
@@thomasx58 yeah, guy who played trumet or trombone, I pressume has a Soul..! Oleta sing lil cold ..Such a pity..
Who is the fellow directly behind Oleta with headsets and what is his role?
What a rich voice. She rates among my favorite smooth jazz female vocalist along with Anita Baker and Chaka Khan.
a DIVINE song. One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE songs. And Oleta`s voice just DOES something to me. AND - I`m captivated by the guy in the orchestra. He totally gets it. He is SOOO cute to be sooo emotional!!!
I've never heard a live performance of this. But wow... this is absolutely stunning. What an incredible talent.
I love this song,,,, this is the last song that played before my mom died
I'm so sorry
Awwwww...so sorry man. I lost my mom too. I never got over that. Just learned to live with it.
Sorry honey 💝💝💝💝 God bless you 🙏🙏
So sorry about your Mom.
My Mom died in 2017, (Dad died in 1976, I was 11), so I know what it's like to lose your parents.
It's been over 3 years now, & I still miss the old beast.
So sorry for your loss. I've lost both my parents already. We loved music in my family. My Dad played the guitar & my Mom sang. Just lost my lil brother 2 yrs ago he was also a musician. Just remember we are just passing through & someday we'll all be reunited. Blessings 🙏🏻🌹
Miles may separate us right now, but my heart knows no distance. I've loved you for decades, so I'm ready for you to Get Here.
And she seems to be having the time of her life!
Magnificent! All the reasons why we chose her music for our wedding day. Simply wonderful...
oleta adams was the warm up artist for luther vandross at g mex in manchester in the 90s and this is as good now as was then.happy times.x
Get Here gives me goosebumps when she sings. I love Brenda Russell also.
Brenda wrote it, what talent Brenda is.
30 Years a go....the Album Evolution sleeps with my other CDs and I hear the Songs today......Woow a wonderfull Music. Thanks Oleta i love you!!!😅
What an incredible talent. Listening to her just hum would be a thousand times better than what most singers posses.
What a great singer and pianist is Oleta! 👍
Absolutely outstanding performance, watching the guy behind Oleta just tear up and be in the moment says it all. Stunning
Lord almighty Have Mercy 🥺
She's is amazing 👏 Just Magnificent..
Even make my soul cry out loud 😭
Access my memories library 😢😢😢
Most of local performer here in philipine sing this song . Stil requested song ,now 2024 i still playing this beautiful song .thank u miss Oleta
I'm just finding out about her, and can't understand why she hasn't been more popular. Every bit as talented and entertaining as many other that have more exposure...She's a tremendous talent. Everything from voice control, range... and she's not bad on the piano either. Simply fantastic !!
Watch her playing with tears for fears, Brilliant. Woman in chains the song.
take johns advice lol love them
AIR FORCE
There are levels that musicians have to go through in order to be successful in the music industry. It’s just like working in any other job.
How popular do you need her to be? You literally watched this video her performing at the "Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) bringing top artists from (former) conflict areas together on one stage, supported by the renowned Metropole Orkest." I call that a HUGE success.
OMG...seeing her perform this live would be amazing!
this is a very powerful song, And the sax player solo gives me goose bumps, wish he could play it a little longer. Songs in concert always bring out the beauty of the song.
Every time I hear this song, I thank God for reuniting me with my two sister's after 40 years of separation! I miss you Carolyn And Ameenah, your Big sister Millie Loves you!
This is really amazing.. Not many singer have this kind of talent.. Sing the song sincerely beautiful 🌺😌
love this song, one for all generations
She makes you feel as if she is singing only to the listener !
!
I'm pretty sure that in Heaven's waiting room, Oleta Adams is playing thru the speakers.
To be able to remain controlled and in charge while being up against loud instruments seemingly competing against your voice is AMAZING!!! The music was too loud and you could read it in her face. BUT she pulled it off like the Queen she is!! Kudos to Oleta. A musical genius in performance. I wonder was the music that loud during rehearsal because someone should be called to the carpet!!
Her voice has become more beautiful.
This is a performance of a lifetime. XO
My soul says thank you. ❤
as if i couldn't love the song more, Oleta slowed the tempo down and made me feel everything anew. i saw Oleta Adams perform this back in (i think) 1995 at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, CA. She truly is a masterpiece.
makes me cry. Beautiful song and powerful performance
Gets me thru the military now after a divorce it gets me thru being gone all the time over the road trucking away from my kids and mom who just passed ❤
Hello I've never met you but Oletta you are my cousin I was born and raised in Arkansas but reside in North Carolina bueatiful voice from you cousin with love im sitting in my front room listening to you old album my grandmother Sarah Jones loved you RIP my grandma im her oldest grandchild.
2021 who is still listening ?
🙋♀️🇨🇵
Such a powerful and beautiful song!!!!!! The horn section and entire orchestra is outstanding!!!!!
Oleta thank you very much! You saved me! God bles you. I love you .
I knew that she was a Taurus woman! Absolutely too much passion, poise, and sensuality not to be lol...Yet, still so real and accessible and she gets moved by the music at 3:40 and looks imploringly at the audience as if to say "you must feel this too!" Amazing.
Good Observation! Taurus are known to be very artistic in nature. Those that followed into career are often so successful and passionate. The list of musicians include Cher, Adele, Barbara.
her vocals her range of voice and notes is phenomenal she is one of the most outstanding singers of her time
Roland and Curt found this diamond in the rough. And she sure has beautifully shined ever since. Such awesome talent.
Amazing yet; beautiful vocals! Oleta Adams, and her Orgestra is simply magnificent!! ⭐💯⭐
One of my favorite songs ever!!!!
this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard this song is phenomenal amazing and beautiful she is one of the most outstanding and most wonderful singers of all time glad this song was posted haven't heard it such a long time great just fabulous
Oleta you're song got me through the Gulf War thank you so much

How anyone can give that incredible performance a thumbs down amazes me!
I get goosebumps.
She is so beautiful. Love this song ❤
SO Beautiful i tear whenever i hear it 😢
This woman is extraordinary singer she has a voice unbelievable this was the music back in the day talking about real love that's what it was about and if man really is one for you there's nothing he won't do to be where you are because you know that it's meant to be Thanks Mrs Adams for this incredible song
I played this song so many times when my husband was away working aboard Amtrak when I played this song he was there with me.
in my top 100 songs any category of all time.. epic... wondrous performance... cheers for upload... I got here
Just look at the talent. Number 900,900,999 reasons we need music in the schools.
Mrs. Oleta Adams looks like a mature Barbie to me. Like if Barbie had a mom she would look like this. Oh and she can tear the roof off a building with her Voice.
One of the rare voice the world has ever produced, truly sublime!!!
It’s 2020 and this is still amazing.
Hello, how are you doing today I hope you doing ok and having a great day 👋👋
She just needed this one to tell everybody about Love!!! One of the greatest songs of all times.. in my top 10💪🏾💯🔥
just joyful tears as heartlady recovers from a serious heart attack worse than a stroke - THX Oleta
5:05 the musician almost melt in tears...
I have loved this song since I was a child. This performance was magnificent! Her voice is just as rich as it was years ago. This song, accompanied by the orchestra, is BEAUTIFUL!
Musicians face in back of her awestruck...Thats how i feel when i hear this song
This song still kills me xxxxx
Phenomenal woman that sings Phenomenally.
Beautiful song sang by a beautiful woman 🙂
A song for this pandemic time when love ones are separated, but I believe God in Christ Jesus IS closer even as we hear this song and words. Be blessed in 2021!
Can't understand why someone would dislike this song, just goes to shows that they either don't have any emotions and feelings in their boring life or have no taste for bloody good music. Or both!
