This song, spesially song by Nancy, was absolute the all time favorite of a real close friend of mine. 'Though he was a real "Genesis guy" he ever admited that Nance had a beautiful voice and the he simply fell in love with it..... Sadly my pall passend away two years ago, but his whistling along and his laughter still lingers in my ears. My "good ol' mate".... Keep it up YOU TUBE...don 't ever remove this beautiful song form the channel!! . When I hear the song, it sometimes makes me cry...my "good old mate" Cass.
Except for that it wasn't Bach who wrote that beautiful little minuet. It has been found out that this is written by (from wiki): Christian Petzold (1677-1733), German composer and organist. The melody was in Bach's wife's notebook, where they had gathered some of their favourite melodies
I'd never heard of this singer, either, so I looked her up. Nancy Boyd is the stage name of a Belgian singer whose real name is Nancy Bruinooge. She had some success in the late 1980s and early 1990s working with the Dutch record label BR Music and is principally known for her cover versions of popular songs. On this one she was backed by her group The Capello's and released this as a single in 1987 (Dutch record company BR Music, 45 RPM single Catalogue #: 56037). It was also on a CD and an LP album titled "Let's Hang On", also released in 1987 (BR Music catalogue #: BRLP 96, track 12 on the CD and Side 2, track 06 on the LP) I don't know if it ever charted, but it should have. I've heard many covers of this song, but was unfamiliar with this one, so I had to listen and I was impressed. It Rocks. She took some liberty with the lyrics in a couple of places, but I don't care. She hit it out of the park with this one (my opinion). Personally, I think this record should be resurrected and she and BR Music (if they still exist) should re-release it today, because it blows the doors off of 95% of the work being released by current artists and played on the radio stations today. With the faster tempo and more defined beat, she might just have a hit with it today, especially if it was released internationally and pushed by some top radio stations (once again, my opinion).
This is one of the best covers of the original yet. I've loved this song since 1965 when the Toys hit #2 on the Billboard chart. My other favorite cover is by Kelly Chen, check it out if you haven't heard it. This is really a beautiful song, thank you J.S. Bach, for the "Minuet in G major"
snap, I was surprised none of the other versions did it justice, though nothing beats the classical rendition. Still, love having this on in the background, a nice antedote to my dislike of most pop music
@Daryl W: Nor did I until a few weeks ago. Her birth name is Nancy Bruinooge. She is Belgian and was successful in the 1980s and 1990s. What a pity she disappeared from the musical scene. IMO she has a world-class voice.
The Lennon Sisters did an upbeat, happy version of this song . I really enjoyed Nancy Boyd's too. She has a nice voice; this is the first time I have ever heard her.
@@gustaaf1892 Thanks for that crucial piece of info, as I had never even heard of The Toys (beautiful women, by the way). Having listened to several vocal versions of A Lover's Concerto, I am also very fond of The Supremes' rendition.
Hi Cobus, Thanks for posting Nancy Boyd's songs. In the USA, you can sometimes find news about a person on the internet like where they live, but not sure about Belgium. These UA-cam videos kind of immortalize Nancy and the Capellos . When you think about it, she and the Capellos are in their late 50s now. Maybe even Grandparents. Anyway ... she and the Capellos were terrific and I enjoy listening to their upbeat tempo. Makes mountain biking more enjoyable. Thanks again.
Well you found her. I am sure there are others out there waiting to be found. You might like Halfway to where by Jefferson. I'm not wild about the cover.
@@ericbond5276I find new stuff all the time. Been on a bit of a rockabilly binge lately. Seems to be a hot item for European bands now. I'm still finding stuff from my growing up years (60s & 70s) that I somehow missed.
Perfect version of this 60s classic song. Well produced in the 80s. I like the voice of Nancy and the harmony at the end with backing vocals of famous dutch backing singer Jody Pijper.
@@reanult457 Yeper It's an earworm for sure. About the time it's out of your head someone else records it. I'm getting old and it's always been that way.
How gentle is the rain that falls softly on the meadow 초원 위로 떨어지는 빗방울은 얼마나 부드러운지 Birds high up on the trees 나무 위로 높이 나는 새들은 Serenade the flowers with thier melodies oh~ 꽃을 향해 사랑의 노래를 불러주네요 See there beyond the hill 저 언덕 너머를 보세요 The bright colors of the rainbow 저 밝은 무지개의 빛깔을 Some magic from above made this day for us 위로 부터 어떤 마법이 이 날을 만들어준거에요 Just to fall in love 사랑에 빠지도록 Now I belong to you 나는 이제 당신의 사람이에요. From this day until forever 오늘부터 영원히 Just love me tenderly 나를 부드럽게 사랑해주세요 And I'll give to you every part of me oh~ 그러면 내 모두를 당신께 드릴게요 Don't ever make me cry 날 울게 하지 말아요 Through long lonely nights without love 사랑없는 길고 외로운 밤 동안 Be always true to me 내게 언제나 진실해줘요 keep it stay in your heart eternally 당신의 마음에 그 진실함을 간직해요 영원히 Someday we shall return to this place upon the meadow 언젠가 우리 다시 돌아올 거에요 이 곳 초원으로 We'll walk out in the rain 우리는 빗 속을 걷겠지요 Hear the birsd's above singing once again oh~ 새들이 지저귀는 소리를 다시 들으며 You'll hold me in your arms 당신은 나를 당신의 품에 안고 And say once again you love me 다시 한번 내게 사랑한다 말하겠지요 And if your love is true 당신의 사랑이 진실되다면 Everything will be just as wonderful 모든 것이 너무 멋질 거에요
I only found this not Long ago. Has to be my favorite rendition of this old tune. Nice and lively and their European accents just add something extra. They added new life to a few old American classics. Would have loved to take in one of their live shows.
This is a very difficult song to sing. This is because this song changes keys three different times. The song keeps getting higher and higher! After you have learned this, this is really a enjoyable song to sing. Have you heard Miller's version? 🤔🤗👍
@@defensorlibertatis9342 yes I can. The singer was on " Mrs Miller's greatest hits" I believe is on capital records. You can also hear the album here on You tube! Play the entire album it is hilarious! 🤗🤭😅
Love her singing apart from the wrong lyrics here and there . The rain should fall softly on the meadow not the window , but its probably not her fault .
Probably adapted the lyrics, to suit the audience in Europe. it should be; that falls softly on the meadow and not window. I dont think her english is very good either.
The Toys have the edge over every one, the Supremes are just behind the Toys, this was a nice version 👍
BEST COVER VERSION
Beautiful!!!! Great way to start the morning 🌅! Happy Friday to all!!! God bless America!

Top singer, fabulous version of this great song.
yes i love that song , ❤ ever since i was youngboy
Have listened to so many versions of this song , but this takes some beating
Nancy BoyD felicidades por sus canciones bonitas saludos 😊
Best version of this song.
J.S. Bach is smiling in heaven.
You've obviously never heard The Toys rendition. ...No comparison.

@@p.skadell3149 thank you very much.
every music has it's story.........
Next to the toys, cella black and this young lady did an amazing job!
Very happy song!
Nancy and the group have made this version, one of the all time go to songs for any occasion.....love it

Thanks for the background information on this singer. I agree she is really good
She's just great
I really wish I would have found her sooner.

@@mountaincam3520 Indeed a great tune. However, the original piece was in fact composed in the early 1700's by German organist Christian Petzold.
Beautiful little singer
This is the best rendition of this beautiful song
@Alky, still The Toys, but i like this, so I will not argue.
snap, I was surprised none of the other versions did it justice, though nothing beats the classical rendition. Still, love having this on in the background, a nice antedote to my dislike of most pop music
I don’t agree this little girl is absolutely awesome 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️💕💐🌹
Never heard of this singer, this is an awesome version of a classic.
Not a bad version. Quite a few singers covered this song, the original is still the best.

Belgian chick
Excellent version 5 *****
Very beautiful sing ❤
Wonderful song I liked ! It is very popular in Korea and Japan. Appreciated
Music is a universal language
You're right.
I rate this the best version I have heard yet of A LOVER'S CONCERTO. Thanks for sharing, Cobus
She did a good job, but I can't go past the original from the The Toys.
@@gustaaf1892 Thanks for that crucial piece of info, as I had never even heard of The Toys (beautiful women, by the way). Having listened to several vocal versions of A Lover's Concerto, I am also very fond of The Supremes' rendition.
Sarah Vaughan also did this one justice.
The Lennon Sisters did an upbeat, happy version of this song too.
@@gustaaf1892 Sarah Collins does a nice version.
Sound liike radioklassisk❤

Wish I would have found her a long time ago. Would have loved to see her in concert.
I fully agree!
So would I

Outstanding!!
I've always liked this song. A Lover's Concerto is Bach's Minuet in G with words. The Toys originally sang this in 1965 or so.
So good Love this song
Easy listening and nice to hear.
Best rendition yet. Love it.
This rendition is like a brainwash song, always in your head.
@@reanult457 Yeper
It's an earworm for sure. About the time it's out of your head someone else records it. I'm getting old and it's always been that way.
Awesome liked it
Good!
How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow?
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the flowers with their melodies
Nice ! Really nice version! Just one question what happened to music like this ?
Love what she does with this song and some other old covers could be her slight accent.
Beautiful Unique Voice that's Nancy!!!!
Me gusta mucho con nancy
How gentle is the rain that falls softly on the meadow
초원 위로 떨어지는 빗방울은 얼마나 부드러운지
Birds high up on the trees
나무 위로 높이 나는 새들은
Serenade the flowers with thier melodies oh~
꽃을 향해 사랑의 노래를 불러주네요
See there beyond the hill
저 언덕 너머를 보세요
The bright colors of the rainbow
저 밝은 무지개의 빛깔을
Some magic from above made this day for us
위로 부터 어떤 마법이 이 날을 만들어준거에요
Just to fall in love
사랑에 빠지도록
Now I belong to you
나는 이제 당신의 사람이에요.
From this day until forever
오늘부터 영원히
Just love me tenderly
나를 부드럽게 사랑해주세요
And I'll give to you every part of me oh~
그러면 내 모두를 당신께 드릴게요
Don't ever make me cry
날 울게 하지 말아요
Through long lonely nights without love
사랑없는 길고 외로운 밤 동안
Be always true to me
내게 언제나 진실해줘요
keep it stay in your heart eternally
당신의 마음에 그 진실함을 간직해요 영원히
Someday we shall return to this place upon the meadow
언젠가 우리 다시 돌아올 거에요 이 곳 초원으로
We'll walk out in the rain
우리는 빗 속을 걷겠지요
Hear the birsd's above singing once again oh~
새들이 지저귀는 소리를 다시 들으며
You'll hold me in your arms
당신은 나를 당신의 품에 안고
And say once again you love me
다시 한번 내게 사랑한다 말하겠지요
And if your love is true
당신의 사랑이 진실되다면
Everything will be just as wonderful
모든 것이 너무 멋질 거에요
Better than the Toys. This lady would have had a smash number 1 hit with this.
she is better than black toys
I only found this not Long ago. Has to be my favorite rendition of this old tune. Nice and lively and their European accents just add something extra. They added new life to a few old American classics. Would have loved to take in one of their live shows.
이제는 이 노래 미워요
best remix ever make cx
Great version of one of my favourite songs, love it.
Thank you for posting
energetic love this
How many times has this song been removed from YT... Why.. She's a great singer and the song is a standard..
Tris Isela a wonderful song and the singer made a really the most pretty
Great rendition. This has always been a difficult song for me to sing. She did a fantastic job. xx
Agree

Harmony heaven @2:07
Not familiar with the singer. But she did a great job performing this song. Really enjoyed it.
agree 동감 !
She breathed new life into quite a few American classics in the late eighties. Great on all of them.
Good
Found it on Spotify but a different version. I prefer this one
Me same
goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice !
Nice smooth arrangement.
Purrrrect
I like this version too, the Supremes r good too
A Lover's Concerto is a pop song written by American songwriters Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell, and recorded in 1965 by The Toys
Great number and with the riff originally written by classic J.S Bach
Now commonly accepted that Christian Petzold wrote it and Bach lifted it.
Really? Hmm, interesting. I will have to explore that. Perhaps Bach was actually the first to cover it.
@@Appleholic1 Well, did you find out the true story yet?
@@Vinterfrid Yes it is true according to wikipedia. But I never doubted William Owens. I just didn't know it.
Better version than Sarah Vaughan.
n.r.g.forever .
thank god for Johann Sebastian Bach and his Menuett in G-major
❤❤
I never heard of this singer. What year did this come out?
She's a singer originally from Belgium and had quite a number of beautiful songs. This one was from 1987 (original song of The Toys in 1965)
카 좋네
💕✍️🎼🌷🎧
Love her singing apart from the wrong lyrics here and there . The rain should fall softly on the meadow not the window , but its probably not her fault .
🥁🎸🎺🤝🎷💕. v. smart. mousic
Harmony sounds like ABBA.
can please upload the B side : Sweet Talking Guy , thanks
ua-cam.com/video/n2AxmBxojzc/v-deo.html
@@jmnieuwoudt thank you so mutch 👍😉
Good voice, good arrangement, good backing vocals. WRONG lyrics!
4 modulations I think
Great version - second only to Sarah Vaughan IMHO
Toys still the best.
I wouldent even say it's second, only different.
That little bit of an accent just adds the finishing touch. N't favorite version.
This song is cheerfully but sadly
dat voor een belgische hm hm hm nice
Window ???
( It's "meadow" )
wrong lyrics-how can she do a song with wrong lyrics?
Singing different (or wrong) words is common. Just spend a little time listening to remakes.
Oh get a life
Calm down she did take some liberties with the lyrics but so lots of covers. My favorite cover of this one. She's put some new life into it.
Lyrics completely wrong
Probably adapted the lyrics, to suit the audience in Europe. it should be; that falls softly on the meadow and not window.
I dont think her english is very good either.
I don’t understand what everyone is hearing so great about this version. It’s not good. And the lyrics are wrong.
The girl voice and style is very beautiful. Words doesn't matter
Nothing can compare to the original. Seriously weak singing, here.
It's not often I like a cover better than what I grew up with but this lady nails it.
You are welcome to your opinion that Barbara Harris is better but to say Nancy Boyd is a weak singer is just plain rude.
Seriously sir . . . are you drunk?
Beautiful voice
❤❤
