I will always remember this night. I had the unbelievable luck in working with Cyndi and sharing some of her insights in this performance. When she dances in the middle of the song she says she was "spirit" dancing to find the center of the song. I will never forget her singing the song back to me in the limo on the way to the after party at the China club. Thank you for a night that I will always cherish Cyn.

How stunning is that. It's not only delightful to re-discover Joni Mitchell's genius through (lyrics here in particular) but, to be so lucky to have another strong & artistic woman interpret the song in her own passion like Cyndi does, is incredible. What a treasure this interpretation is, her voice is most beauteous here.
@maxibud18 жыл бұрын
Great to see Joni enjoying this, she is not known for showing emotion at other people singing her songs. The vastly underrated Cyndi not only demonstrates that amazing voice again but also shows how powerful understatement can be. Mariah has never shown this much emotion.

This video blows me away. I've listened to this song for, what 40 years, played it for 40 years, and I've never seen or heard it performed more beautifully. Very touching......
@hobbum11 жыл бұрын
This is not an easy song to get right. Cyndi completely nails it. From the cutaways of Joni watching, I think agrees. The standing ovation also tells us a lot about Cyndi's mesmerizing effect on an audience.

I always come back to this performance - Cyndi has some REAL highlights - but this is among my favs. I realize it is a Joni song - yet another terrific song. I just really love the way Cyn sings it - just beautiful. As far as the performance - everything just fell in place for Cyndi this night.

I sang this song with 2 "Nyew Joisey goils", Rosalind and Sarah, when we spent a 1973 night sleeping on Crete's Matalla beach after exploring the caves and partying at the Mermaid cafe Joni Mitchell made famous with this song. This song is so true, so real. And I love how Joni mists up as she watches "Nyew Yawkeh" Cyndi Lauper sing this classic in this video. And damn, Cyndi looks and sounds like Rosalind... and thank you Rosalind for introducing me to Sylvia a week later in Athens...
