I am so happy people are finally listen to Judee Sill. I got her albums out of bargin bins in NYC back in the early 70s for $1 apiece. Beautiful melodies, but nobody seemed to care much back then. Now they finally getting it.

Just discovered Judee Sill - I'm enchanted. Her music and ethereal vocals are unique and magical

Back in 73 late one night when I was 11, I heard Jesus a Was A Crossmaker on the radio and it saved my life (she and I had a whole lot in common) - but this version of The Donor is now my favourite song of hers, she really pours herself out into it. So much love for her. I'm no Christian and her songs are the only Christian songs I can bear to listen to ❤️

I just discovered her a couple of days ago........Howard Stern, of all people, mentioned her on his show. Imagine that!! So, I checked her out. I am totally captivated by her emotional songwriting and hauntingly beautiful voice........it's a crying shame she didn't make it big. 😔

After seeing her sing The Kiss on the Old Grey Whistle and ending up in tears, I’ve been hooked and now have her records. But what a tragic life and regarded herself as a failure.

met her when I was 18, still in love xx

Have loved her for 30 years. I never tire of her voice beautiful lyrics and music. Wonderful Judee xx

A Beautiful soul........ Tears arrive.... I Love her

she was so undersold it bugs me I do not trust the handlers so sad she was amazing sing it at last and forever Judi you have a new fan in me thank s for the inspiration Love your work and you

She was way ahead of her time. i am entranced by her originality and piano skills

That intro is heartbreaking.

Only just discovered Judee Sill, her double CD was in my late brother's record collection of which we're cataloging. What an amazing artist and so underrated at the time. Brilliant!

She decided she didn't deserve a break because she squandered hers in "weird places." What a life. I prefer this version to the studio version with all the vocal overdubs. Here, her voice is naked, unadulterated beauty.

When I hear her it's so intense that it helps to think that she really is still alive in her music. If I had been her friend I would never have let her die. Well, that's easy to say.

just kills me. chills every time...

FARTHEST STAR SHINNING BRIGHT. ❤

My God. This woman's music is moving me. I found her a few days ago, and have not stopped playing her music.

Most don't know of her just want to say thanks to all here

Heart. Breaking.

these live recordings are such blessings! love to hear how she wrote the songs

i`ve never heard any artist who was so melodically rich with and be so overlooked. Not underrated. There is a difference.

Oh My God !

So beautiful Judee. X

Excellent songwriting. The studio track of this is absolutely stunning. If you don't know about Judee Sill, read up on her. There are a few articles about her online, other than Wikipedia. Interesting woman, and this track, the last one on her last album, is testament to her talent.

So sad and so true.

Gorgeous work, inspirational music. Thanks for posting in such great audio quality too. I'm passing along to my musical pals who probably have no idea about this woman. The magic times of music 1964-1974 ... I wish the same musical ethic prevailed today. But of course pop music now - no minor keys, no great melodies, don't test anyone's attention span, no verse-chorus-bridge-or modulations, no musical interest song-wise. Let's compress/smash it down and create music that's like an action movie

This must be the most unlucky talent ever. How is this beauty not a part of musical history? She was a genius.

giant talent.

I am so glad you will be forever glorious lovely human way 2 bring compassion and beauty 2 the heart and soul of others

I agree with pop gun. In fact, I am overwhelmed by the beauty of this performance

you were a beautiful soul

This version, like most great live performances, has something the studio version can't have.

Wow.

She was in England often! Didn't know it.

even shadows come and raise a requiem

this is great.. she sings the truth beautifully.. maybe why she couldn't stop herself talking frankly about coming out...though I think the lack of commercial success at the time may have been due to Judee being too far ahead of the curve.. this girl's music will outlive us ..love this song... it is a shame she fell out with Geffen as I would have liked to hear more of this...thanks seventeenboi for uploading.

@swatty76 very well stated!

beautiful という英語はこの歌から発生したんじゃないか。

@imjustspecial321 My thoughts exaclty.

Kyrie eleison is Greek meaning Lord have mercy.

Two people here were freaking deaf.

Can anyone post the "DONOR" from the Heartfood album?My vinyl copy is worn out.

I think there's too much vocal layering on the studio cut. I prefer this pure, live track, plus, I love her preface to the song on this recording.

The Doner

I am wondering is Judee speaking another language or is it latin?

@swatty76 Don't be dumb. Just because the music on Top 40 isn't good doesn't good music isn't still being made. And as I remember, Judee was never that popular while she was alive...
