Miss Adams has never been given the recognition she deserves, one of the most full bodied and beautiful voices I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
When you don’t bow to deceitful request you get ignored for super stardom, another great voice, talent who would not lower her standards also India Arie.
When you have real talent like Miss Adam's. You don't need to dress half naked. Just sing baby. Miss Candy is playing that horn like an extension of Oleta's voice. Wow
I can't understand how this singer with her voice and her ability to interpret has never received a Grammy. The mere Grammy Award nominations she has received do not do justice to her talent.
One of the greatest Collab! Oleta Adams and Candy Dulfer didn’t try to outshine each other but they give and take with one another to show they passion for music to their audience.
There’s nothing more spectacular than when singers and musicians do not try to compete but to compliment and support each other . The heavens open up 🎶🎷🙏🏾🇯🇲
Even though this concert was in 2017, I still listen every day and it touches my soul in a way that makes me so happy. I hope to see her in concert somewhere in 2022. Oleta is on my Bucket List. Amazing along with all that accompanied her.
Lord in Heaven I love this woman!!! Every time she opens her soul to sing my eyes well with tears of joy. Stunning. One of my greatest musical inspirations. Bless you, Oleta!!!
Adams wrote Window Of Hope after reading a newspaper article about a teenage girl who had leukemia. The young cancer patient used to draw pictures of what was going on outside her hospital window. One was of a tree with few leaves in winter. The nurses called the picture, "The Window of Hope." When Oleta read this she was inspired to write the song. Years later she met the young girl's parents at a convention. Unfortunately, she died, but her parents were so appreciative of the song.
Well, if it makes you feel any better.... a lot of songs you just don't remember and never seemed to have made a difference or impact, this song however....it's still so strong and good. It's a classic now!
O-M-GOSH,, I This video is so dynamic, and so emotionally powerful it simply overwhelmed me. I always held Oleta Adams right at the top of my favorite singers,, right there next to Randy Crawford! These two songs are some of the very, very BEST compositions, and not simple melodies to sing two. African Americans are absolutely the world's MOST TALENTED PEOPLE!!! FACT!!! Their vocal ranges and timbre are absolutely UNIQUE~!~ There's only a handful of white singers that can be compared with all the hundreds of African Americans and Randy Crawford, and Oleta Adams are only two!!! The best tonality, vibrato, and pitch control!!! Amazing~!~!~!~
I had the great, great pleasure to see und hear Oleta live in a Concert in Germany together with a philharmonic orchestra. The best concert I ever have been! Not only the tremendous voice und musicality I was impressed from. Oleta is a very very warm person and she is able to transport this warmth in a naturally way to her audiance. You can see this in every video recorded. I think that no one, who was on this concert will forget this and will love her forever! Best wishes from Germany and everyone stay healthy in this difficult times!!
Oleta is an aged wine. Just wow! I can hear etta james mixing in her lows. I love the 11:45 to 11:49 mark, you can see her gratitude and appreciation of succession in her career... She is fulfilled. Also look at how she indulge and take pleasure in other artists at 03:38 mark, it's like she is having an arousal on something beautiful. Again just wow! P.S. She is really an instrumetalist who kwows tempo, look how she walks back the stage at 11:08 to 11:13 mark, in line with metronome if you know what i am saying... Hands down to this lady and her vibrato.
I've watched these so many times, it'd be worn off if on vinyl. Oleta Adams' voice is so soothing....she is main course. Candy Dulfer is cherry on top in "Get Here..."
Lol...any time I mention being in love with sax player folks automatic think of dudes! I don't even bring that fish into the boat! Lolol...if they don't know Candy they be "the dandy". Peace, Freedom and boogie that funk! GBCD!
I think, this is one of the cutest moments in this concert series. This girls blown me away - they are so brilliant - and finally even at Oleta tears were running for joy.
Get here by oleta is one of those songs that reaches into your heart.. the vulnerability when you’ve fallen deeply in love and feel like the world has stopped and your wondering where your soulmate is this is how they can find you ...
There are songs like the ray of the sun they will never grow old (Get Here), for each time you hear em it's like new . like a new day of sunlight, This is one of them. 1988 Brenda Russell, Then Oleta Adams 1990. 1000yrs from now you'll feel like 1988 & 1990 all over again.
You can't help but know there is a God the minute she opens her mouth only one person can give beautiful gifts like that and His name is God Almighty when the sax started I felt that in my spirit and soul nobody can do that but My Father God,All glory and Praise be unto you just Devine.
Who ever you are, thanks a million for posting this! Candy is one of the most exquisite musicians, and seeing her having a blast with like minded friends is a pure heavenly treat for the soul! Thank you for this bit of heaven.
Oleta Adams..was really having fun...there was this vibe and feeling of love and admiration from the crowd, fantastic feedback, and Candy completely gave it all..like she wanted do her very best..and she nailed it. This concert must have been so rewarding for all artists..shows to see the talent we have...and shows that great artists like Oleta keep comin back...and she's allways welcome!!! love it!!!
I think her career really took of here in europe specially in the Netherlands. I love her presence and her warm personality besides her voice. She was given an award and a tribute in the US..wich did not do her justice, the singers didn;'t sing that well...This concert and tribute gave her all the love and musical contribute that she deserves. Just an awesome concert with the Ladies of Soul!!
Girls you are the best, they all deserve our applause, because they sing, wonderfully, I'm the number one of you, I'm Brazilian, and there's not a day when I'm not seeing your concert videos, glennis you performing in america`s got talents, you broke girl, from all the interpretations of singers in the melody Run To You, you are by far the best of all, you are light years ahead, a powerful voice like witney, excuse me the other beautiful voices, but you Glennis is the best, I congratulate you all girls you are too much,
Christa Becker yes! Amazing Oleta Adams & Candy Dulfur!! I am fortunate to have seen both live!! Candy w/ Prince & Oleta in Sacramento CA years ago! Best from Germany-
Dit is muziek, muziek die aanspreekt, muziek die diep gaat, om kort te zijn de muziek waar ik groot mee geworden ben. Dank aan de ladies of Soul om deze terug in de schijnwerpers te zetten, hoewel deze muziek nooit zal verdwijnen. SUPER Dames.
Miss Adams has never been given the recognition she deserves, one of the most full bodied and beautiful voices I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
I agree
This is so true. I would pay to see her any day in concert.
When you don’t bow to deceitful request you get ignored for super stardom, another great voice, talent who would not lower her standards also India Arie.
When you have real talent like Miss Adam's.
You don't need to dress half naked. Just sing baby. Miss Candy is playing that horn like an extension of Oleta's voice.
Wow
@@earlyoung3371 you are completely right, that voice is incredible and candy dolpher is an amazing musician.
No words needed Oleta is the real deal . One of the best voices of our time
Oh she is damn good xoxo
There is a word in the English language - SUBLIME??!!
Next
I agree I had tears listening to this performance
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
All of them, Oleta Adams, Dionne Warwick, Anita Baker, Arieta Franklin and other Americas' soul goddesses I love
I can't understand how this singer with her voice and her ability to interpret has never received a Grammy. The mere Grammy Award nominations she has received do not do justice to her talent.
One of the greatest Collab! Oleta Adams and Candy Dulfer didn’t try to outshine each other but they give and take with one another to show they passion for music to their audience.
Candy shows up in surprisingly vibrant sound
She is definitely an icon! One of the best in history of music. They don't make music like this these days anymore.
Oleta Adams is a special voice, interpreter, pianist...pure soul !!!
There’s nothing more spectacular than when singers and musicians do not try to compete but to compliment and support each other . The heavens open up 🎶🎷🙏🏾🇯🇲
That is the usual way among singers and musicians. The "competition" is mostly construed by the press.
Right on; first comment👍
Ich heule, weil es so schön ist! Zwei meiner liebsten Künstlerinnen, zusammen, mit diesem Song "Get Here", großartig!
Let’s give some love to that saxophone player 👏👏👏👏👏👏
well, it doesn't get any better than this
Even though this concert was in 2017, I still listen every day and it touches my soul in a way that makes me so happy. I hope to see her in concert somewhere in 2022. Oleta is on my Bucket List. Amazing along with all that accompanied her.
I am finally going to get to see her tonight and I simply cannot wait!
Ms. Oleta !! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 ❤️❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🎤🎵🎶🎼 What a Beautiful Voice!!❤❤ LEGENDARY ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The saxophone 🎷 Candy Dulfer was phenomenal as well !!
Lord in Heaven I love this woman!!! Every time she opens her soul to sing my eyes well with tears of joy. Stunning. One of my greatest musical inspirations. Bless you, Oleta!!!
Love ❤️
Candy Dulfer ain't NO joke on that sax!👍
oletta, and candy ...OH MY GOD what a combination . brought me to tears... remembering the early 90's

Randall Hill made me cry..omg...but its a good cry...thank u for explaining that😘
That's something I did not know. Beautiful.
Randall Hill I'm curious as to how you discovered the story about how Ms. Adams came to write "A Window of Hope". Please explain/reveal.
I knew the story, and it makes the song so much stronger. Heartbreaking
What a beautiful story.
The woman in the red dress complemented Oleta's voice so well on that song.
Candy Dulfer
Facts
"Window of Hope" is one of these songs whose lack of chart success is simply inexcusable. Amazing song, amazing performer, amazing rendition.
Well, if it makes you feel any better.... a lot of songs you just don't remember and never seemed to have made a difference or impact, this song however....it's still so strong and good. It's a classic now!
You got that right ! :)
As a Filipino...I always look forward for a beautiful world filled with peace and love...and this song by Oleta Adams...perfectly fits!!!!
Not so many artist can sing in this quality in live. Especially nowadays.
Candy Dulfer the sax Impressive Adlib she Play Sax since in 6 years Old she Genius❤❤❤
I still love her so much. So glad that I grew up during this era. Musically it was the most beautiful and creative time ever
I've had the pleasure of having her sing at two of my events and she is warm and a total pro. And that voice speaks for itself.
I feel like crying. This is too beautiful

This woman has an unbelievable, beautiful, soothing voice! I have never heard a more wonderful sound than that of her voice!
She is a beautiful woman.
Exactly. Although Whitney and Glennis are technically better, I prefer Oleta and Edsilia over them(and of course Gladys and Mary J)
@@Liwwie No comparison oleta is in a class of her own!There isn't another voice like hers.
It is NOT A COMPETITION, THEY ALL HAVE BEAUTIFUL GIFTS!!!

"...and music makes me cry." I saw those tears and I understand. Absolutely beautiful!!!

Yeh, I couldn't believe it! I think she misses those days as much as us oldies do. Such a great show!
Wow candy on that saxophone 🎷 along with oleta was everything.
I love the transition from the end of Window of Hope to the musical outro. It's so nicely timed.
