colors of the wind should be the hymn of humanity

Judy Kuhn needs a Disney Legend award, so underrated. Her voice is very strong, and liberating-like.

I love how Miss Judy sounds exactly like Pocahontas's speaking voice it matches up real well

Judy Kuhn has along with Lea Salonga the best Disney Princess singing voice, they both make it look so effortless. Also If I Never Knew You and Farewell are the best songs from Pocahontas imo :D

In the words of Stephen Schwartz, “She’s a Lyricist’s Dream” can only express the joy and tears brought to my eyes watching Judy Kuhn sing Colors of the Wind...

she has such a textured rich voice.

Judy Kuhn's voice is magical.

The music in this movie will stay with me throughout my life. Thank god for these geniuses and their blessed creativity

Judy Kuhn's facial expressions and her voice are incredible.

5:57 is my favorite part. I never realized until recently that Pocahontas was voiced by two different people. One for the speaking and the other for when she sings. And both of them sound very similar. Judy Khun is amazing and should have been given more recognition for her talents. She is the reason why I believe Pocahontas has the most beautiful singing voice of all the Disney Princesses.

colors of the wind send chills down my spine it’s so incredible

I’m so glad they chosen Steven for his work in Pocahontas because it worked and it’s one of my all time favorite Disney films

I watched this movie a few days ago on Netflix and I literally started tearing up when Colors of the Wind started playing because that song has always been a big part of my childhood.

Judy Kuhn was just a demo for the song and the composers liked her voice soo much that they kept her.

The words, the music, and judy's voice all these combined makes the song so powerful in delivering its message...that it reaches out and speaks to your soul, to the point that you can just close your eyes and cry as you feel the message. Just powerful. And especially timley considering what we humas have done to this planet.

Still brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much to Judy and the genius writers, composers for bringing this to us. And, of course, thanks to the excellence of Disney!

Colors of the wind and riverbend are my two favorite Disney songs! Pocahontas was my first movie to see in theaters

She is such a true singing force. She makes it look so effortless and easy. Opens her mouth a little bit and these beautiful notes flow out. I think all the Broadway singers Disney used in the 90s are amazing. Heidi Mollenhauer doesn’t receive enough credit. All such great talents 👍🏻

I like how they edited the video to show how much Stephen and Alan clashed.

Her voice gives me chills honestly

More Native American movies should be played, especially on " thanksgiving", to remind those that this is not a happy time, it is a time for mourning & rememberence of those who were here FIRST & who died for this country FIRST. RESPECT is valued.

Alan Menken, one of the best melody-maker of all time

Poca is one of my faves! Her music is THE BEST one of all D movies... She is the most mature of all DP girls! She is underrated just bcuz she doesn't wear fancy gowns, meets fairies & ends up living in a castle....

5:57 goosebumps and teary eyes.... Sound of my childhood right there...

She sings it so easily... omg..😍😍😍

I absolutely love Judy’s voice

Imagine. IMAGINE. Having a voice that amazing. Like - speechless. Id never stfu

Teared up a bit, at 5:11.

Magical perfection watching this perfection come together. Also you can really tell how much Menken can’t stand Schwartz which is just kind of hilarious.

Nothing makes a Disney movie like the music.

Really glad to hear Judy Kuhn’s voice. If Pocahontas was made in this generous, people would’ve been upset that a Native American wasn’t cast for the singing voice.

Walt Disney made magic in it's prime, it picked the right people for the right jobs and and everyone new their talent and capability and what they brought to the table. If only Disney could just reimagine that same formula and get back to the basics and stay out of politics and truly care about what they are creating and projecting to the American people I truly believe they cann once again create those magical films that really move us again. Like the song "Colors of the wind", three people with extraordinary capabilities came together, a lyricist a composer and a singer and created one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

I wish there was a full clip of Judi singing both songs in the recording booth. Someone must have it in their laptop somewhere. Please upload it!

Yes, I can feel the voices of the mountain, Judy Kuhn.

This movie now more than ever needs a live action film remake! Especially for this generation and those to come. Unbelievable the masterpiece created here and not recognized as it should be to this day!

Wow! She's my childhood voice. What took me so long to find her in KZfaq? Her voice is gorgeous

Just sounds just breathtaking😭😭👏🏻👏🏻I can hit most of the notes (my friends w voice teacher and I love singing Pocahontas songs) but she just flies through it so effortlessly 😍

This was an interesting peek into the making of this song in Pocahontas. Ms Kuhn has beautiful vocals. It's hard to imagine somebody else singing this tune. Thanks for sharing. Blessings

I love her voice

Colors of the wind was so good it was the trailer for a movie we would watch.. I forget what movie it was..

Back when Disney still had their "magic".

She is my favorite Disney singer. She is so Gorgeous.

my obsession with this song is kind of concerning but its a bop so idc

Colors of the Wind is one of my favorite if not my FAVORITE Disney song, hands down.

Umm we need scores back now it's literally sound effects with up beat music

I knew the soundtrack before I even watched the movie, really great music

In Les Mis, Lea Salonga played two of the three signature female parts. In the first concert, she played Eponine (originated by Frances Rufelle). In the next concert, she played the part of Fantine (originated by Patti Lupone). The one part she never sang in a televised concert is the part of Cossette. That's the part that was originated (on Broadway) by Judy Kuhn. It was an interesting Tony season in 1988, when Ruffelle and Kuhn went head to head for the best featured actress in a musical. Frances won, but no one would have complained if Judy won. Both were and are phenomenal vocalist. Lea, of course, would win the Tony in 1990 for the lead actress in a musical (for Miss Saigon). I got a chance to see the original company of Les Mis in DC (before it went on to Broadway). Frances Ruffelle was the lovely waif, Judy Kuhn was a tremendous Cossette. Randy Graff? Well, she was okay, but the other two singers were better, in my opinion (at least for the parts they were playing). Remember, Fantine sang one of the great songs of that musical, "I dreamed a dream." That she didn't get nominated for the Tony was not surprising. If you hear Judy Kuhn sing "A heart full of love" or sing to Valjean as he was dying, you heard a truly gifted artist. Same thing with Frances Ruffelle. There was not a dry eye in the theater when she sang "A little fall of rain." Surprisingly, Colm Wilkinson did not win in Britain or in the U.S. for the role of Valjean. The Tony that year went to Robert Lindsay (Captain Pettigrew) for his turn in "Me and my Girl." I think Colm should have won - it is one of the great roles in one of the best Broadway musical in history, but Robert Lindsay was superb. And oh, that was the year that the Quantum Leaper and Captain Archer was also nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical (for Romance Romance). Three terrific actors. A year with a legendary musical. Of course, the next year saw the Broadway debut of Phantom. Then Miss Saigon followed. Then Sunset Boulevard. It was a great time, and only the recent advent of Hamilton one year followed by Dear Evan Hansen matches the moment in recent musical theater history.

I missed pocahontas........who missed pocahotas too like dis👍👍

I miss the 90s

Stephen Schwartz looks so young here!

Best soundtrack of any Disney film bar none, and thefore my favourite.

I’m still trying to find BTS videos of Mel and Judy singing If I Never Knew You

One of my favorite songs . I live in a racist area of the USA and this song encouraged me and made me feel proud of my people and heritage

I'm thankful for you rich voice and beautiful music💚💛💛

0:57 1:11 4:37 4:42 5:12 5:38 5:57 just around the riverbendddddddd!

My boy James Pentecost that was my High school teacher for Drama that’s the megamind

How is there no footage of Mel Gibson singing

She has a very strong line I love her

I wish I’f I never knew you was never removed 😢

Irene Bedard has always did a fantastic job voicing Pocahontas. It’s sad that the creators didn’t have her do her singing voice as well.

Amazing! Is there any video about all the recording~?

Opening To Pocahontas 1997 VHS

I can’t I saw him at orginal bice in nyc

Why does the cartoon pocahontas looks like me 😅😂😂

2:30 what is this song they are singing?

2:29 - what is the song ?

Who's Here because of Disney+

how did a famous singer like Vanessa Williams sing Colors of the Wind?

Yeah, back when DISNEY actually put people based on TALENT and PASSION for production. Instead of DNA BACKGROUND HIRED.

I wish they’d just give us an uncut version of her singing like damn I had to skip half the video

Oh my lord y’all Judy is the singing voice Pocahontas and Irene is Pocahontas there both Pocahontas

there’s a lot about this movie that sucks but the music is top tier

Imagine if Howard Ashman was still alive to collaborate with Menken , Pocahontas would be an amazing movie turned even more amazing 💕

Who else came here when they heard she got arrested?

I hate Pocahontas 2😭😤😠

This movie has a mediocre plot and is historically innacurate, yes. But the animation and music are excellent.
