Here is a woman that stood up to the suits (not just men but women too), took control of her career, sacrificed sales and popularity to stay true to her work and vision ... and is rarely recognized for her work or for the fact that she is still going strong despite any support from Radio or a strong commercial outlet .. SHE deserves all the life time achievement awards that the Music Industry has to offer - She is Rock n' Roll Royalty and She is Pop Culture ... She is, Cyndi Lauper.
I remember when it was released in the late 60s. I was boy in grade school listening on the radio during a road trip with my parents. It brings many happy memories.
I’ve never heard this covered where the cover is as good or better than the Beatles version but I’m am witnessing it now. Let’s not forget the excellence of the musicians and the composer who arranged it so Cyndi’s vocals are showcased. Beautifully done. 🎼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❗️
Cyndi, queen of my heart, you make John Lennon proud with such an awesome rendition of this song♥. More reasons to love Cyndi♥. And R.I.P. John, I always cry when I hear this song♥. :'(
I love this Lady and her music. I know I will enjoy this. From the beginning, this is all about the music. Super Talent. Actually got to see her live in Kings Park WA. Live is so much better than recordings.
again, we have the commenters who believe music is a competition......and one artist has to "win" and one "lose"......these people have no clue how musical talent is expressed or discovered.....it's called INNOVATION ....so sad that so many can't comprehend that concept
Absolute brilliance... her version would be exactly what John may have loved, because he want fond of his version (in his words). At this moment in time she channeled him and the world needed his words more than ever October 2001. Intense
This is the cream of the crop when it comes to Beatles covers along with Sean's covers of his dad's stuff. He did a kickass job on Julia and Dear Prudence. Cyndi and her band are amazing in this performance! Love the dulcimer too. My grandma played one back in the day. Julian finally gave in recently after refusing to record cover songs written by John for years and did a cover of Imagine that sounds better than the original for a fundraiser to help Ukrainian war refugees.
Cyndi Lauper has an amazing voice! so beautiful & Unique I saw this live!? And I freaking luv the Beatles as well sad to say but there r no True Female mainstream rock icons today that can touch her rock & roll kick ass talent?
This song ALWAYS reminds me of 911.... and the fear I had even weeks later. I remember being scared and having to be strong for my little Brothers and sisters. I was a child.
It is beyond my comprehension how Cyndi could sing this song on that spot where Lennon used to walk everyday and not cry. How does this woman mustard the courage to keep it together ??? How ??
I had met Cyndi when she was starting, and I took vocal lessons with the woman who has been her teacher for over 40 years (Katie Agresta)...Cyndi still takes vocal coaching. Her voice is ridiculously better than Madonna's...she only wishes she could have the range, control, and pitch that Cyndi has. There is no comparison. Complete apple and orange. I do give to Madonna credit for is her business saavy and her dancing. She is truly an icon, but solely on the fact that she knew how to merchandise herself. Cyndi will always be better vocalist...still to this day. Saw her recently 2 years ago, and she still sounds incredible! Listen to her song with Blue Angel (her first band) called "Maybe He'll Know"...she can still hit those notes.

Truth!
Always loved her way more than her contemporary, M. Head over heels better.
@@roxannenaydan5362 She was and still is the talented one
@@roxannenaydan5362 YES!!! 100% and Cyndi is so much more grounded than M. No haughty airs or fake British accents. She's just real.
So well said. I totally agree
Massive beatles fan here. She did that so well ❤❤❤
I haven't heard a better interpretation of the song......she sang it beautifully.
John's original?
@@elidolo6993 It's Johns' song his is #1
Listen to Noel Gallagher covering this song.
Cyndi's version here gives me chills. She clearly admires John. It's so clear by the way she approaches it and breathes a part of herself in it.
@@elidolo6993 You can't paint the Mona Lisa twice. ;)
Come Together: A Night for John Lennon's Words and Music was a 2001 television program tribute to John Lennon aired on both TNT and The WB.
I've always liked Cyndi Lauper, but this rendition of this song just put her on a whole new super level
Cyndi Lauper & Kate Bush very beatiful people and great singers and composers too.(from Jujuy,Argentina)
I can't believe that this was twenty years ago. I still remember watching this on TV way back in 2001.
Cyndi Lauper soo beautiful Unique One of the most talented muscicians, no mainstream artists today can touch her talent
I remember when it was released in the late 60s. I was boy in grade school listening on the radio during a road trip with my parents. It brings many happy memories.
Cyndi was a teenager in the 60s
This is a beautiful interpretation
Rest In Peace John Lennon. You have changed this world for the better.
REALLY!

🎼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❗️
No offensive but I’m not way is this as good or better than the original Strawberry Fields Forever, lay off the LSD 🤩 💊
It's good but no way better than original
Oasis has a much better cover version of Strawberry fields.
They gotta give Cindi a hell of a lot more credit! There's no other American singer like her!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Cyndi, queen of my heart, you make John Lennon proud with such an awesome rendition of this song♥. More reasons to love Cyndi♥. And R.I.P. John, I always cry when I hear this song♥. :'(
Tear Waterfalls......cried when I saw this Live, still do the same when I hear this recording now.
This is by far the best cover I've heard of this song.
Cyndi est vraiment unique et incroyable. Magnifique reprise. Quelle voix !
The greatest song ever written!
I love this Lady and her music. I know I will enjoy this. From the beginning, this is all about the music. Super Talent. Actually got to see her live in Kings Park WA.
Live is so much better than recordings.
Beautiful and unique voice x
A beautiful, moving cover from a life time Beatles fan. I still miss John very much!
Randy R me too brother
again, we have the commenters who believe music is a competition......and one artist has to "win" and one "lose"......these people have no clue how musical talent is expressed or discovered.....it's called INNOVATION ....so sad that so many can't comprehend that concept
I'm a Zappa, Captain Beefheart, King Crimson... listener, but I loved this woman's music
GET CLOSER
RYUICHI SAKAMOTO!
MORE!MORE!
Beautiful woman, beautiful leather jacket, and beautiful rendition!!!!!
Ten years and still nobody is talking about the place where she sung this lovely song, few can recognize or remembered this place thought.
where is it?
@@harryjohn1979 central park
Central Park, about 100 yards from the Dakota where John was taken from us, the entrance is on W. 72St and Central Park West
Cyndi,,,, la de que mi corazón se adueñó...❤❤❤❤
Talk about making a song her own. Just wow!
Cyndi Lauper é um ícone da música internacional
Song totally suits her voice and style.
Amazing version!
Way to go Cyndi, you knocked it out of the park.
Best tribute ever ! 👍
Absolute brilliance... her version would be exactly what John may have loved, because he want fond of his version (in his words). At this moment in time she channeled him and the world needed his words more than ever October 2001. Intense
Cyndi, forever young!!!
Hermosa interpretación!! Magnífica voz.
IMAGINE, JOHN LENON is in Heaven with George. ❤
I 💙 this lady!
