The Best 4:41 minutes I have spent listening to this Awesome Soul Touching Song!!!
Anyone else agree?
Totally agree with you bevG

Jackson Browne is an American institution. His voice has somehow gotten even richer with the years and at 70 he is the picture of aging gracefully!
totally agree
Me three
Exactly. Agreed.
Right? He's as good as he ever was & I thank him for that. What a collaboration!!
🎵🎤❤️ Heard them do this at Lake Tahoe this summer. Beautiful! 👍🌹
Been with you a long, long time now Jackson... ever since that first album... thank you so much for bringing so much meaning to my life.
So agree! First time I heard his song Looking into You it profoundly changed my life. 💕
@ Atticus's Finch Me too! Don't you just 💜 this man's music?🎶🎵🎶🎵🎹🎙🔊💜
I agree. Jackson is one of my sweetest Angels guiding me and so many others with his kind sweet soul❤
@@nightingaleofsorrow9349 I love your moniker . I once wanted mine to be “Nightingale’ after a song that was recorded but never produced on Jackson’s first album , but was recorded by The Eagles . You added “sorrow” ; how well said. I decided to go with Stargazer and I’m glad because “Nightingale of Sorrow” is so much better.
Nightingale . I had the same experience going back to the house that I grew up in. “Looking Into You”.@@nightingaleofsorrow9349
He’s always at his best when it comes from the heart. He doesn’t know me, but we’ve spent a goodly part of life together. Thanks, JB.
The current generation of musicians could learn a lot from Jackson Browne!
Today’s music is a music. It’s a bunch of noise.
I have been listening to Jackson Browne since 1976. I have seen him in concert more times than I can count. He has such a loving soul, and has been blessed with such a wonderful gift. He has never failed to sing from his heart.
Jackson Browne, May G-d bless you and keep you .
I totally agree, my favorite song is Rosie. It’s a live song about a girl willing to help.
Michele. We were probably at so many of the same shows. You story is mine. He has saved me so many times.
What a blessing to see him so many times. I have followed him through the years he’s nine years older than me. he is a storyteller he is an icon! singer songwriters in this era are one of a kind ❤️
The beauty of the man is reflected through his pain
Oh my. I guess Jackson Browne"s songs will always find a place in my heart and allow me to remember.
For A Dancer will be played at my Memorial service. We may have many songs that mean something, but the idea that a very young man could write with such profundity of thought with such simplicity of statement is incredible.
Love him so much
Incredible writing, singing....great harmony. This song is profound, poignant.
Great stuff
Oh so true, the words are spot on, all we really need is a human touch............
Every word is well chosen .
You don't paragraphs to get the message across .
Profound and poignant says it all .
xxxx
This is without a doubt one of my favorite Jackson Browne duets!the human. Touch is absolutely beautiful!!!!
Deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song
David Miller is this song in a movie?
@@bobchristopher6928 I’ll answer for David as I love to be the informant , and David hasn’t stepped up. This song was used in the documentary “5B”, a film about a hospital ward voluntarily run by brave doctors and nurses who dared to not be afraid of “Aids” and give care to the patients that people were afraid to even be near, at a time when nobody knew what it was or what caused it or how contagious it might be. Wouldn’t it be great if Jackson even got a nomination? Two other people cowrote this song with Jackson and I don’t mean to deny them any credit , but Jackson’s signature style is written all over this song.
Stargazer - thanks for the response. It truly was a confusing time. I was in my early 30s when this mysterious ailment was at its zenith. Everyone was afraid. Everyone was scared. I haven’t seen 5B, but I will certainly search it out. As for Jackson. He has literally been the soundtrack to my life. When our children were young JB was always on in the house or in the car. Those kids are grown now, but they still love Jackson Browne and they all know all of the words and all of the harmonies to every song he’s ever done. I live in Texas, but I have had the distinct honor and pleasure of meeting and conversing with him. The first time was in Richmond CA. Guess what? Jackson was doing a benefit show for an organization whose mission was to help lift up under privileged young people to try and set them on the right path to a productive life. We shook hands and I leaned into him and told him that I remembered exactly where and when I first heard “Doctor My Eyes”. He looked at me and with what seemed like genuine surprise said, “you’re kidding!” Then the next time was in San Jose CA with JB and Emmylou Harris and Joan Baez. After the benefit concert, they had a meet and greet on the stage. We got the three to autograph a t-shirt. What a precious treasure that shirt is today 10 years on. Anyway, I said all of that to underscore the fact that Jackson has always been the first to step up to use his incredible talent to help out worthy causes. He is a very kind a gentle man. He cares about the earth and the down-trodden. And yes, it would definitely be a tip of the hat to have this poignant and sadly beautiful song recognized by the motion picture society. I’ll close with this snippet from Neil Young, and my fondest wish for Jackson. “Long may you run”, Jackson Browne.
@@bobchristopher6928 Bob, what a lovely and extremely well written tribute to Jackson you have written. You should rewrite it as a comment so more people will see it.
Bob . Just to be correct, Jackson said that he only added 2 or 3 lines.I would love to know which lines and which words.
I have followed and loved the music of Jackson Browne since 1977. He inspired me to go to music school and become a professional musician. Some of his work have left me breathless, this one left me in tears. So beautiful.
Oh my. Looking at these comments I realise that I have 'wasted' 2 years. This song has been out there on youtube all this time? I can't believe it. I thought it only just arrived with the album. It is the most amazing song, lyrically and musically. It has made me cry. Such a wonderful duet. I noticed on another comment below someone who said they had been listening to Jackson since 1976. Exactly my story too. Ever since that year he has been my favourite artist. His songs have accompanied me wherever I went, and been SO important in my life. So many songs that touch me and have helped me through. Thank you Jackson. I hope we see you in the UK again soon. 2022?
JACKSON BROWNE FOREVER
Six Seven yep ❤️
If you didn’t know what the origin of this song was , would it matter ? This song is going to effect more people than you might think. My spouse spent 10 month’s in a nursing home before he died and during that time and especially after the death ( I still visit ) I have become more aware of how much the residents crave “ the human touch “. My friends and acquaintances there want to hold my hand , kiss my hand , get a hug , or give me a full body hug , much more so than the usual person , " reaching out for some connection “.
Having heard this song, I took it to the residents’ group president . Without hearing it , he was immediately interested . Then he proceeded to youtube to hear it . Now this beautiful song will be played at their next meeting. We’ll see what kind of response it gets . We are hoping that it will be affirming and healing .
Jackson Browne...we are 70...we are still here..after all we have struggled with throughout this changing world..Yes "a human touch"
Lg Mayes . Jackson will be 71, October 9 , 2019 . He once said that he had an uncle on his mother”s side who was mountain climbing at age 90.
@@stargazer6753 That's amazing..I skydived back in May...I will never see the Earth the same way...hope to be 90 one day and challenge a mountain...
@@cornstorm666 Amazing , and go ahead and challenge that mountain . Good to know you.

I did my internship, working with HIV/AIDS patients. That was different place and time, but the need for “A Human Touch” still remains. This moved me deeply.
Jackson Browne...touches my soul bringing tears to me eyes and filling my heart with sorrow ; reminding me how fragile life is.Some other times he sings"running on empty "as to call for love to "stay" to make humanity a better place for us all...Jackson Browne is a musical legacy for the 70 generation and more, surely...
I could listen to this song a hundred times and never get tired of it. Beautiful ❣️
Certainly touched My Soul as Jackson Browne never fails to do.
💓🎶💓🎶💓🎶💓🎶💋
Yes indeed.I think I’m going on 50.
Been "with" him for more than four decades. Thinking of it, I feel like an old fart. Yet, his songs, somehow, rejuvenate me. Thank you, Jackson Browne.
Please don’t use those kind of derogatory words when referring to Jackson or yourself. You should expect some self respect for yourself, I’m sure Jackson does.
He's been part of my life since High School. A poet. He's an amazing writer. I really wish I knew him as a friend.
... I spoke with him, alone, in Grand Rapids Michigan, several hours before his performance that night ...
John you and Jackson share a beautiful soul connection. These are the most beautiful connections💜
Alan Kennedy a few years ago I was lucky enough to be invited back stage to meet him and share opinions and views on politics and human nature over a few beers in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺. An empathetic and compassionate man 🙏🏼
He has always been a friend and he must know by now how much we all love him. He has bee with us so deeply and truly. Amazing grace….
Beautiful ... probably more important today than a year ago! 💖
The care and emotion is etched on his face, what a fantastic performer, singer, writer, and Human Being He is. 😎
Absolutely 👍
Jackson Browne knows how to tell it in a song. Heartfelt, soulful. Such a sweet music man.
Does anyone not tear up when they listen to this song? Especially when we know the reason it was written .. God bless you both
Been listening to Jackson for half a century…his music has always seemed to reflect a common journey he shares with us all.
Words cannot express how hauntingly beautiful this song and performance is. A new favorite. Thank you Jackson and Leslie for honoring those beautiful souls and touching my heart and soul so deeply 💜🙏💜
Amen to that Christine ❤
@@nolan8336 🙏❤🙏
I feel the same way....lots of bittersweet memories.

This song got me through the last year I was in prison. Starving for human connection and love and having nobody to turn to…. Except Jackson’s music. I’m indebted to this man.
I hope you are doing well after serving your time. God bless you❤
@@lauriepowell8376thank you so much Laurie! I love the kindness I’ve witnessed among us Jackson fans. It’s struggle to get back to my daughter after we were separated. Gonna keep fighting for that love though. Have a wonderful evening 😊
I've been listening to Jackson since 1976. I've seen him many times in concert. He is a very loving, caring, giving man. He has a gift that he has shared with his fans, and brought the evils of the world to the eyes of our citizens. He fights for what he believes in, and has shared it in his music.
first time i heard this song I actually cried ! what an epic song , so much joy JB has brought to me in my life with his music and his album For America inspired me to learn guitar and song write ! thank you jackson browne for sharing your gift
Yep, I cry every time!
Fantastic duet. As always Jackson Browne brings such sincere taste and talent to everything he does and thanks for introducing us to the wonderful Leslie Mendelson. And YES his voice just gets better and better. This was a difficult subject to handle in a short song but as always its brilliant!

I can say that I saw Jackson and Leslie perform this song live tonight at Santa Barbara Bowl. It was a treat to have two beautiful voices entertain and move us to tears and It was an incredible concert and great evening.

Jackson Browne! Leslie M! Like a soft jet flight to edge of space. Lucky to have these voices, saying what we don’t, singing what we can’t( many of us anyway)!
Such a beautiful song for our lonely times.
We are so lacking the human touch.
Can never get too much of Jackson.
you and me both, love him!
Just listen to Jackson Browne and you won't help it but feel love for your neighbor.
Jackson is amazing, but lets not forget Leslie. She does her part also to make this song and video so special. Hope they do more songs together..

so beautiful. just don't watch it in a public café...people never know how to respond to tears! a lovely tribute to the work of those upon whom we rely so heavily when everything else is stripped away. thank you!
Well written. Thank you.
Wonderful, beautiful and heartwarming ❤️
Very beautiful. You guys sing well together. Another great! 😊🌹💓
Amazingly haunting, emotional and heartwrenching. Thank you for keeping this story alive.
Jackson was the doctor who helped open my eyes to our world in ‘72 as I listened to Saturate Before Using in Vicksburg MS-a place where eyes really need to be opened
IMO one of the most beautiful songs ever written about love, relationships and friendships.
Jackson is American icon. Still sounds great.
Heartbreaking video. God bless all of our health care workers and those who suffer from illness. This song brought tears, especially during this period of isolation.This is such a poignant message. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care & God bless.🌹💕
After all the years he still writes hauntingly great music ....a fantastic performance from them both , amazing .
The gentle back-beat sounds like a heart beating. And the soulful sound of the weeping steel guitar, a Jackson Browne signature sound. He wastes no ammo with this lyrics; they always reach to the depths of my emotions, even in those songs that are collaborations. When I was a kid, I would go camping and I always took a palm-sized transistor radio. I could pick up WLS in Chicago throughout the night. I would wait for any, and every Jackson Browne song to play.
I remember listening to WLS in Chicago! I couldn't believe it since I was in Florida.
Stunning song absolutely gorgeous 👍❤️👍
The one thing we can't have at this very sad time....."A Human Touch"
Leslie Mendelson helps me to realize that there is more power in inviting things in than keeping them out!! When she sings with Jackson Browne I bow to the mysterious!
Wow, what a heart touching song. Amazing lyrics and delivery. Thank you for writing such a powerful song. ❤️
Ive had the pleasure of photographing Jackson but my photos cant even begin to capture the love of this artist, this man, this human being that has created some of the best music in all era's of all musical genres. He has the voice and can write the songs and always has the best musicians in his bands. I admire him greatly as a person and wish always the best for him
Not everybody finds it, not like the two of us" what an incredible line, there is a whole story in that one sentence. amazing.
The voices blend beautifully. 👏
Beautiful song, beautiful voices, beautiful message.
Mild spoken Jackson , just another great song . His soulful voice just brings you in for the ride. Have listened and loved since high school. And I’m old.....🎶🎼🎵🎸🎹🎤🤎
I'm 67, and wouldn't be a day younger, like all the music we 've had for all these yrs.
Why am I just hearing this now, 4 years later?
That is perhaps the best at home performance of this entire pandemic.
This is so incredibly soulful and timely even now. Thanks.
Something in my eyes.
Truly a stunning song with a performance to match......Thank you. 🙏
And here he does it again. Such a heartfelt song that touches me. Beautiful voice Leslie. 😘👌🏻
I love Jackson so much . His beautiful music always touches my heart. Rock on
So good. Brings back memories of hearing him in the early 70s. Just like those songs, this one sits in your soul and won't let go.
Fantastic song and performances, in my humble opinion. I can't stop listening to it.
I started watching him at 19 years old I'm 67 and I couldn't be happier to watch him tonight in a concert posted on Comcast 2021 New York godspeed Jackson Browne that's why my mother named me Jackson Browne after your concert that was the 7th
Jackson is one of my favorite song writer just so talented a true great voice and performer.. ✌✌
There is alot of truth in that saying "Sometimes all you need is the Human touch "
Great singing and amazing lyrics. Sometimes that's all you need as well.
Typical JB…touching my heart and soul. Offering a human touch for decades, now. Thank you Leslie, as well. I love your voice, and how you offer your voice to all those who sometimes get shouted down. Love and peace.

I took my late mum to see you at the albert hall,she loved ur music and so do i ^^
Yes, we need a "human touch", but, even more so, we need faith in the true and living God, which, in many cases, is delivered via human being, filled with His love and message.
Beautiful song, love the lyrics and your voices. Thank you two!!
Weepy eyes... wonderfully sad and lovely at the same time. Fabulous work
Beautiful and timely. Thank you.

Simply very beautiful lyrics and story, Jackson. Although can't be in person to the theater, you should know your music has touched my heart. 👋🙋💌
I have been listening to Jackson since I put the needle on the first song on his first album. I had the privilege of meeting him in 2011 at the Clearwater Hudson festival where he played solo for a small group of attendeees. What is amazing about Jackson's music is how we as listeners can equate it to something in our current lives. This song translates so well on whats going on today with Covid-19. Pain & suffering and yet the love and kindness that has been displayed by millions is extraordinary. Thank you Jackson and Leslie and all involved in crafting this prayer.
I'm speechless only just discovered this gem. Thank you Jackson and Leslie and Steve McEwan. ,God bless you guys for bringing us this special song.

I am very much impressed! I don't know the albums of Jackson Browne. So this song is one of the first songs of him I've listened to. I'm a German guitarist, so at first I listen to the chords and the melody and later I listen to the lyrics. And after I then understand the meaning of the song. It's always the same. (please excuse my bad English).
Treat yourself to his back catalogue. His first 4 or 5 albums especially. If you only want to investigate one then listen to Late For The Sky. His greatest offering of all time and I think the greatest album of all time.
I've been entranced by Jackson Browne's music since I was 15 or so, and now I'm considered old! This is beautiful and heartrending. What a great song
Another great song from great talents. You two are magic together. Thanks.
Great song especially for these times
Der Song geht unter die Haut und bewirkt etwas. Unglaubliche Emotionen in diesem wundervoll vorgetragenen Song dieser zwei unerreichten Interpreten.
Wow!
So applicable to our pandemic crisis.
Thank you!
Blessings!
This is beautiful.
it makes me cry. such a wonderful song. thanks and greetings from austria
Lord, God, Whomever, bless the nurses that showed caring and leadership.
A Human Touch, they clearly felt the need for, and for someone other than themselves. And they acted, and made change.
Jackson Browne what a wonderful person.
Just listened to this song 8 times, awesome!!!
How can someone touch my heart and soul over the years? Just because it's Jackson Browne
Damn, absolutely Beautiful. Been Loving your music since Fountain of Sorrow to present. 4 Decades + of heartfelt emotions.
Wow.....
Great Lyrics...
Great Melodies ...
Great singing....
Great, Great, Great.....
Merci From France !
Leslie’s voice makes this song soar.

You will never know the influence your music was on my life.....listening endlessly into the night...to "late for the sky"...and "the pretender" ....from my lonely room as a teenager....I eventually became the pretender...mundane job...beautiful girl...paint by number dreams...right down to the house on the highway....sometimes i thought you were a prophet...as well as the poet laureate of our times.....but you weren't to blame...for my shortcomings or the world's.....still saying a prayer for you Jackson.....and if you can, say a prayer for all of us pretenders who waited on the changes for love to bring.....and if you get some time...for your sake and mine...read over the letters in red again...just the letters in red....because you know in the end...."it is the wink of an eye"
Beautifully put my friend.
What a touching, raw song. Beautiful. I'll remember hearing it right now for the first time..not many songs do that these days.
Jackson Browne still has that great voice. Always loved his music!
My favourite Jackson Browne track - sad and beautiful entwined
Well said "sad and beautiful entwined", seems to be the magic of about 90% of his work.
Simply beautiful. Would be amazing to have you back in Europe soon, Jackson
Wow! Hauntingly beautiful! I couldn't make it halfway thru before crying. Bravo Leslie and Jackson! Bravo 💕
Nightingale . “ I can’t stop listening”.
Yes, too much for me. Cannot listen to so much. He is a genius. So sad I cannot go to his concert in Connecticut. So afraid of COVID, despite being vaccinated. Anyone, reading this- Concerts in Summer, 2021. Do not miss!!!🥲
@@pamabbey3057 Don’t let fear take over Pam. Keep living life just a little more cautiously now adays. Remember none of us live forever. Cancer strokes heart attacks car accidents are all out there. Nobody knows when it’s our time so live life my friend and share it with those you Love 💕
