Stevie Nicks could not hold a candle to this woman! Annie Haslam is the BEST!

OMG! Even if Annie is a few years older, she's still gorgeous and has a voice like an angel.

Dear Annie, Raine Carosin here and can you believe, at 48 I didn't hear you before this night and I fell in love... your voice is tonic, healing, uplifting, enlightening... thank you so much for sharing yourself, as it was, tonight was a bit of a downer but when I heard you singing, (93.8fm south africa, leon economedes (dj)), I was suddenly transported away from the pain which became like a memory, and I found life... sorry so emotional, but you know how us females wish for total expression!

Anyone else think that pressing the 'like' button is going out of fashion? Over a quarter of a million views and just over one thousand 'likes.' Annie is superb here by the way.Thanks for putting it up!

Professionally trumpeting the high notes. That’s not a “voice” … That’s a divine instrument!

Annie..godness

One of the best voices since the phonograph has been created!

Just discovered Annie and Renaissance thru youtube. When ever I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes. Such a wonderful angelic voice. I can almost see in my mind the greengrass lands of the UK, and Stonehenge. This could be soundtrack of 2012 and the rebirth of humanity. Citizens of the planet. No more war. No more divisions between us all. Maybe I'm dreaming. I can see it possible when I hear this song. Thanks Annie. We all love you!!!

Annie played NYC last night and she was awesome. There is NO one like her - her voice is extraordinary - she has a 5-octave range. In her encore grand finale she went one entire octave in one shot and sustained that note FOREVER!!! Go RENAISSANCE 2009!

What a voice. And on top of that, she saved legendary bassist John Wetton's life as he was less than a month from dying due to alcohol-induced liver failure. ❤

QUEEN ANNIE....QUEEN ANNIE QUEEN ANNIE QUEEN ANNIE QUEEN ANNIE QUEEN ANNIE QUEEN ANNIE...... What MORE needs to be said! Even the poor audio quality can't disguise the voice of angelic chorus!..... I'd ask you to marry me, Queen Annie, but there must be a better man than me, for you out there, and a QUEEN should only have the BEST.... I'm eternally grateful that you allow us mere mortals to enjoy your singing..... Can you tell I like yur music?!....

This is the 5 octave voice I fell in love with back in the 70's! Fabulous, Just Fabulous!

I love Annie, I have been buying her records/Renaissance records since I was an early teenager, 1976, when this song was a smash hit. I was at this concert of hers in Philly in '97 and, as at nearly every single one of her PHENOMINAL, BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC concerts I have been fortunate enough to attend over the years, I have always noticed an audience ratio of about 80%-20% Men to Women, lol. The guys just can't seem to stay away, Annie, as I cannot; you are simply one of the best!

One of the people who trusted KZfaq in the back old days

What memories. One of the best female voices in folk.

La voix d·Annie ,une exception qui m·aura toujours attiré ,Quel groupe agréable des années 65/70...Magique ...

I seen Renaissance open for Al Stewart around 1974 at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia I was instantly hooked

An absolute amazing performance from one of the great female vocalist's of all time.

Wonderful voice and very charming lady.

I wonder if people hearing Annie sing for the first time feel what we long-time fans feel. At the TOWER Theater in Phila year ago I ran up to the stage and handed her a special flower, a "Bird Of Paradise." She loved it, held onto it, and used it as a pointer as she introduced her band. I was in heaven!

what a beautiful song

Wonderful. Was such a pleasure meeting you a few years ago ! Annie, you're the best!

What a incredible voice, amazing , it's like more than 40 years ago. Wonderful...💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Oh my GOD...she sounds EXACTLY the same. :-O what an amazing God given talent.

Prog rock queen! Her voice is still Gorgeous

Great voice. Nice vibrato...... Class.....

Annie ist eigentlich immer und überall super.Schön ,daß sie auch auf You Tube zu sehen ist...

Became a fan instantly.

I 1st saw Renaissance at a free show on the waterfront in Philadelphia in 1977. Fell in love with Annie the moment she hit the stage! She's still incredible!

Nobody hits those high notes like Annie

Coming to Rochester NY Oct 8 and I can't wait to see her again after 20+ years!

Annie is a superb singer.

Great to find videos by Annie here, as well as Renaissance. I listened to them so much in the seventies. Annie is still one of my favorite female vocalists..the voice of an angel.

oh my God she sounds and looks unbelievable!! dare I say, even more so than the 70s/80s

She just gets better and better. What an artist...

My memory awakens sand my Annie is there. Some of the most beautiful music ever song and recorded.

Part of the world that you 're living, you are the part that you 're giving

Annie's amazing seen her in 1975 sounds the same today

I was fortunate to see them twicein 1977.....what a beautiful lady then...and now. :)

I am so in love with this song. I can feel the sunshine on my face. It's impossible to imagine another voice besides Annie's singing this.

Another great song written by Betty Thatcher. She wrote most of the lyrics & posted them for the band to work on in the studio.

From my home town - Bolton❤

My all time favourite Hippy chick!!..love you Annie

Annie does it again...always Annie

Annie your truly amazing...!! I will always love this band and the many great songs they've produced over the years.

What a pleasure to listen to this wonderful voice....The time has any effect on her ....

What an amazing voice Annie has wow love her

Great pipes!

And just like that 40 years fall away...amazing!

Heavenly voice

Fell in love with her voice at 10 years old driving about with my dad in his old truck, I think pn 8 track but not sue, then seen her on tv in 76 and been in love with her since.

I went for a 3 year round the world on my 35ft sailboat and this song among many more of her songs helped me back in 1982.

I love her so much.

Wow.....she still has the same awesome voice. Annie is great ;)

Voice of a angel love the music

Stunning vocal technic !!! Amazing how constant and beautiful her voice is while performing a lot for many years ...I would definitely love to learn about her vocal exercises ... LUV 4 ALL

What voice! What a song! How wonderful to be able to see and hear this goddess.👍🇧🇷✌️😊😎

Amazing...still ...amazing.

Qué linda voz y que buenas melodías tiene esta formidable mujer, admirable por su lucha contra un cáncer que le aquejaba. Además de ser una excelente cantante, ha sido pintora y diseñadora de modas.

I love. Anni. Haslam. I saw. Rennaicanse at London I . In. Vitória. Theatre. You are perfect. I love your songs.

Can't wait for this Saturday night, September 17 in NYC. Annies voice stil brings tears to my eyes after 37 years.

Voice of an angel

wonderful music with the wonderful voice of Annie Haslam

oa das melhores recordações da minha infância e ouvir este rouxinol...

Annie, Sandy,grace slick, Stevie,Joni...rockn'roll heaven.

la splendida voce dei renaissance

A mais pura voz do rock...perfeita !!!

Nunca esqueci as musicas do Rennaissance...a cara da minha adolescencia! E Carpet of the Sun era uma das q mais curtia...muito bom ver,ouvir e relembrar!

still after so many years: a great song!

I do still listen to Renaissance, by any measurement, probably my favorite band of all. The world has changed, but their music can still pull me back to center. ("Lost the way in my confusion, an illusion") Austin, Houston, in the '70s but this upcoming tour is most welcome news! I will certainly try to make it, to see and hear them at least once more. My girlfriend and I made it backstage in Houston. That was so, so wonderful to meet all of them in person. I will always cherish that experience.

Excelência vocal e arranjos 🇧🇷☮️👏

A primeira vez q ouvi a voz de Annie Haslam fiquei muito emocionada!!!!Q voz!!!!!

but we were here...SHE was here, we shared, we lived, we laughed and cried but WE WERE HERE damn it, we were it. :-)

Some listeners have complained about the drummer and I can understand why. But his syncopated fills, which give an almost R&B like flavour to what is actually a folk rock song, allow Annie to improvise and express more freely than she can in the usual arrangements. Also wondrous how she can use that syncopation to her advantage and yet resist getting all riff-happy and instead stay true to the spirit of her original rendition.

Bravo Bravissimo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What a voice...

Goosebumps!

Exquisite.

Sem dúvida, a mais bela voz da música mundial! Fantástica!!!!

Annie is the best!!! Any complaints of the band, the drummer looks lifeless!!

MOst beautiful voice ever. Love you Annie !

Love this....

awesome, i'm in heaven , need more music like this instead of the crap out these days !

cristal voice!!! lovely music

Come along with me Down into the world of seeing Come, and you'll be free Take the time to find the feeling See everything on its own And you'll find you know the way And you'll know the things you're shown Owe everything to the day See the carpet of the sun The green grass soft and sweet Sands upon the shores of time Of oceans mountains deep Part of the world that you live in You are the part that you're giving Come into the day Feel the sunshine warmth around you Sounds from far away Music of the love that found you The seed that you plant today Tomorrow will be a tree And living goes on this way It's all part of you and me See the carpet of the sun The green grass soft and sweet Sands upon the shores of time Of oceans mountains deep Part of the world that you live in You are the part that you're giving See the carpet of the sun The green grass soft and sweet Sands upon the shores of time Of oceans mountains deep Part of the world that you live in You are the part that you're giving See the carpet of the sun See the carpet of the sun See the carpet of the sun See the carpet of the sun

To me, one of the greatest voices ever, if not THE greatest. Kind of a travesty that Adele became a household name making millions and only a handful of afficionados know Annie’s name. But then, there are quite a few other such travesties in music that I could mention.

'Super Annie ' !!..great voice and backup group .. Raymond U.S.A.

@50sVintage The best female vocalist that we (UK) ever produced... Renaissance are musically brilliant...and Annie's solo stuff is equally wonderful...Saw them a couple of times in the 70's

My pappy was from Morrisville and we occasionally visit. I think I am going to have to make tracks for Doylestown the next time we hit Bucks County. This is talent. And she must have a lot of guts, too..surviving breast cancer. Tom in Utica NY

Her voice is just plan magic. Imagine if Stevie Nicks could actually sing like this!

Passei a infância escutando..cantava todas as músicas..

Sto lat Anno! Sto lat!!

my adolescenseeeee....I still love this...tanx

I love this song since she sung it with the group Renaissance and I was a Teenager. Please hear to the text. It is very true!!!

quasi unplugged und die Stimme von Annie ist immer gleich gut...

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus H Christ. That is amazing.

Uno de los vídeos más antiguos de youtube!!

essa musica é realmente maravilhosa!!!

I've always heard that too, and it's always been one of the strangest things for me to try to imagine...?
