If you only have to have one hit record in your lifetime, I feel blessed that it was Wildflower.. Thanks for the kind words, Bj
Too bad the band didn't meet with more success. There was potential.
I discovered this just recently - way late. But I'd like to let you know you're an incredible singer and your redition of 'Woodstock' has all the proof of a gifted vocalist. Thank you. BTW I live in Thailand so Swaddee.
Bj, You really were and still are a great performer. Skylark has been a band that I have loved since I was a young kid and the music more than stands the test of time.
no auto tune there ..bitches! That's pure talent. Kinda partial to her. ..she's my Mom!!
Hello Tamre do u you still wright songs? your mom is great singer btw
Tamre Winger yes, that's some great singing; wasn't she pregnant with Amy there? 8 1/2 months if I remember correctly. Amy's done a lot with Michael Buble.
She got some tubes for sure. The harmonies were fantastic. It's not easy t do that live like that! I love the album I used to have with Saying Goodbye and She's A Lady....( I was in my 20's) wow what great songs, production and singing. I have to get back to that album!
I really like the guitar solo in this version
this shit bangin .let love =moon and peace=star be your soul=sun.
Great! Skylark was excellent live!
In my opinion this version of Woodstock is the best! Thank you Skylark! You are one amazing band!
Wow, I've never heard this cover before. Fantastic!
great tune great vocals from BJ Cook , awesome band .
LOVE YOU BJ - thank you for sharing your beautifulness inside and out with the world and me
I met Your Mum and Dad in My hometown of Boston in 1973 when they were showcasing with the Rasberries for Capital Records..
You have no idea how much that means to me. Like a lot of people my age, we protested and met many young men who came here, to avoid that war.. Hearing that you were there and that you made it back, my heart truly sings.. Now there are another crop of kids fighting a war we don't understand, but this time Canada is right in the thick of it, we are losing our young men too.. Thank you so much for this, I truly hope your life is good and that you've found peace.. God bless, most sincerely, Bj
wonderful times
superb!!
Great take on this tune! BJ owns it. Terrific harmonies and instrumental arrangement.
My dad had Skylark's music in his massive collection of 45's when I was just a kid. Through him I learned a greater appreciation for the work of many artists. But even after all this time I still won't admit to him he had great taste in music. I would never hear the end of it :-P
I love the original version but this is hot ....i love both now..good post
I love Skylark. I would love to make a trip to Canada just to meet any surviving members.
Oh babe...it's soo hot..
my first time to hear this song..
damn good!
When Vancouver had a great music scene musicians like this were around!
Skylark were one of the best and most underrated band's, EVER! I really enjoyed this track.
fantastic band all round, great singing, bass, guitar, everything.
not surprising though.
hope the other musicians in this band are doing well.
Actually this footage was pulled from a local Victoria documentary (2004) called, "BJ Cook: A Life Without Compromise" by Steve Poole who also meticulously restored the audio and video of this footage from a badly beat up VHS video tape.
David Foster on keyboard...
@MsGroovalicious Hi there, my friend gave me an entire set of the Midnight Special, and unfortunately, Skylark was not part of it, which is weird, it was a great show, Gladys Knight hosted, even John Prine was part of the line up. I've heard they are doing some more segments, so lets hope Skylark will be included. Take care, Bj
Oh I've thought about it many times.. if you listen to those lyrics, they still apply today.... In that video I'm pregnant, and that baby is now a very successful songwriter.. she wrote both of Michael Buble's hits and in Oct her first book will be released. Coincidentally my daugther's favorite writer has always been Joni Mitchell.. Thanks for the message.. hope all is well in your life.. cheers, Bj
Maybe if I heard this song on an album or '45 I may not have taken to it so quick, fortunately I watched the video first. You can tell they put their hearts into this performance and that is one of the reasons why it is such a great song.
(con't)
Someone just sent this to me again.. I agree we did kick some serious Canadian Arse! By the way, I'm pregnant with Amy (Foster).. she just happened to co-write all three of Michael Buble's hits. So, it's true.. the beat does go on.. cheers, Bj
@stilrockn
You also sound a lot like that lead singer from Jefferson's Airplane [loved that late '60s hit 'Somebody To Love'.
The Hitman. BJ could belt it!
Ronnie, thanks for posting this. I am almost 8 months pregnant with Amy, who by the way.. co-wrote both Michael Buble's hits... and the beat goes on! Happy New Year my old friend.. big hugs, till then, BJ
@MsGroovalicious
Well, there's a number of clip converter websites. Just enter 'clip converter' into the various search engines out there. Hope that helps. ;D
How can I get a version of this footage??? How did you post it? If it is from the show and not the shows dvd's, where did you get it? I am desperate. I would like a copy of the Woodstock song. Let me know, Please.
Please, can you tell me what episode or album I can find this version of Woodstock. It rocks!!!! Which Midnight Special # is it????
Yes
Man, I wish that they could make a Karaoke song in this version!!
this is my mom...i just love her sooo much and never prouder...she is 75 this yr...
Please tell her how much I have appreciated her work!
Was that you in her belly? :)
MsGroovalicious no, she was pregnant with Amy there.
wow
Hey stilrockn, just read an interesting story on your life...glad things are going well!
wow and not so wow. the music rips but her voice is like what Julie Driscoll did to Brian Auger (at times) somewhat bittersweet. In either case, a fantastic treat - thanks for the upload.
They seem to have altered the lyrics a little bit, especially the 'we are billion year old carbon' part of the corus, anyone know what they are singing instead, just curious? Also, this is amazing!
I just read your message to me, and thought that whoever posted it has it kind of screwed up.. Donny Gerrard was pretty much the lead singer in Skylark. There was 3 "frontmen" and each of us were featured, but Donny did most of the leads. He's actually still on the road and touring with Mavis Staples.. If you want to see them you can google her and see her touring schedule... cheers, Bj
Is that David Foster on keys?
Yes
@stilrockn
You kinda remind me of Adele [British soul singer/songwriter... appearance-wise and vocally, of course. You were a beautiful woman... and energetic for being in your 3rd trimester w/ your unborn child. Outta all of David's wives [except Rebecca, who I've never seen] you were the most attractive. ;D
Where is this?
I never knew that Skylark did a version of this CSN&Y song. Cdn groups like Skylark are in Canadians hearts forever. God bless the 70's, everyone that was there and everyone that appreciates this music to this day. P.S. Disco and Rap are both crap.
javelin1010 don't act like that...theres good and bad in all music ...whats is important in any art form is the messages. I love all music all over the world, every artist has a lesson
I am hoping that you're only joking about not telling your father that it was his love of music and exposing you to all of it, that has given you your appreciation and love for it? Good music is good music.. Wildflower is over 30 yrs old and people still play it and love it.. I'm thinking your Dad was right on the money! Take care.. BJ
I still love "I'll Have To Go Away". The melody, arrangement, vocal interpretation.
yupe.. LOL
wow
