    One of the best songs in the history of R&B or jazz, and her voice's timbre, soulfulness, power, emotion, and agility--along with her piano playing--are LUSCIOUS, poignant, and awe-inspiring. Oleta and this song stop me in my tracks every time. If I met her, I'd bow and kiss her hand. She and the song are bliss and joy.

    Oleta was a background singer and pianist for "Tears for Fears", and they decided she needed an album of her own, after she was signed to a record deal, they helped to produce the album. Her career just didn't take off after that for some reason, thought she did sell better in the UK.

    • @normandavidtidiman9918
      @normandavidtidiman9918 Рік тому +3

      That's not really quite true. In 1985, Adams was discovered by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, the two members of Tears for Fears, while she was performing in the Peppercorn Duck Club at the Hyatt Hotel in Kansas City. while they were on a US tour. In 1987, Orzabal and Smith contacted her to invite her to join their band as a singer and pianist on their next album, The Seeds of Love.
      In 1989, the album was released and the single "Woman in Chains", sung as a duet by Adams and Orzabal was a hit.
      This led to her being offered a recording contract by their record label, Fontana Records. After meeting with various producers,Roland Orzabal ended up producing the record 'Circle of Life' himself.

    Watching the two of you and loving this beautiful song 🎵 by Oleta Adams is astounding. I dont want to say this here, but honestly, you two as black people can relate clearly to this song, that the two of you can critic and judge the level and degree and impact this song for your generation and maybe personally.
    I must admit, i am a Filipino, and we love songs like this that made it so famous anytime of the year, until now. And honestly, this song came out in the 80s, which is my era of very good black R&B music, jazz, and love songs.
    Honestly, you can't hear this type of song nowadays. Comparing the music today and those days in the 80s is incomparable. It is so powerful that it can speak of a love relationship that no matter how far that person importance and significance, you need to get there. And that is about this song for me .
    Try to listen to other black woman artists who made a hit single song that shook the air waves of every country in the world

    This is such a weird memory to have but hearing this song reminds me of when a few friends of mine convinced me to cut out of school early one day during my junior year of HS (1991) and my friend was singing this song as if she was putting on a concert in the backseat of my other friend's car as we were driving away from the school parking lot. I wish we had camera phones back then because it was hilarious.

She was covering jimmy cliffs Many Rivers to Cross. It was so moving. Check it out. Also Circle of One, I Just Had to Hear Your Voice,Rhythm of Life, I Knew You When, Love Begins at Home.
