Dearest Janis, you were never an "ugly duckling" my darling. Your beauty shone through beyond just physical, your music and poetry will never fade.............
Me too. My amazing friend introduced me to this album, and we listen to it together over and over and over again in the 70s. She and I went on different paths but managed to reunite at least once a year. She was gold lamé and diamonds as an exotic dancer with the unrequited life, and I became a single parent. Neither of us ended up with the dreams we had then. This album brings back so much to me now that I'm hearing it again for the first time in almost 50 years. I've always had the album but couldn't play it, because it brought so many memories back of a wonderful friend who died too young all alone at 45.
@@maryeperry3593 OMG I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Yea my favorite song was and still is At Seventeen.. my high school yrs were happy at time and sad at other. But I too reunited after 50 yrs .. it was like we never parted. We now speak to each other daily...
@@maryeperry3593 - I can relate to her song, At Seventeen. I had everything going against me; wore glasses, bad acne, scrawny runt of a teenager, constantly picked on by the older kids. But I managed to turn out not too bad, now over 70 years old. And many of those kids who picked on me passed away a long time ago. So you see, it sucked to be them!! LoL!! I hope YOUR LIFE is going well. Sorry for your loss of a friend at such an early age. My mom died when she was only 46 from cancer. (I was 11 years old then.) Lately I've stopped looking at the obituaries for the reason that too many friends are kicking the bucket at an early age. I recently learned that a lady I dated for a while in the early 90s died from a brain tumor at the age of 53 roughly in 2012. She was a beautiful lady, mostly in her spirit. Full of spunk and awe. She travelled the world though before she passed away, even up to the Arctic with her work on an exploration trip with the Canadian Natural Museum IIRC.
Joni Mitchell took a long time to have popular success, because she was an artist & poet first. She wasn’t commercial. Phoebe snow had short success. It’s a business, they just rotate quickly thru these artist to make their money. True artist continue their craft without being a “STAR” anymore. Tough business.
Janis Ian is fantastic, At Seventeen just didn't speak to the women. That song made me feel emotion like it was speaking directly at me at a time in my life when there is a lot of uncertainty. Ahh High School, got to love it!
It resonated with me as a female. But, I did not think about the guys. It was the first song that spoke of the girls who longed for things the pretty, popular ones had. Now I know boys suffered the same.

like so many commenting here, i know every note of this album and have loved it since its release. over my life so far i have acquired three different copies of this album on original vinyl, as well as at least two cassettes (one homemade from my second vinyl, the others store bought), then two different CD releases and finally digitally stored on three different drives... and yet i find myself STILL listening to the whole thing here all night long simply because i find it on youtube. :) thank you for uploading it. and thank you, janis ian.
I have this on vinyl, and used to put it on the player on repeat as I worked in my photo darkroom back in 1975. Sweet memories of being a 21 year old with unlimited energy and possibilities come flowing back as I listen now. Life was simple and the music of the day some of the best ever created. Thanks for providing the whole album.
Always loved Janis Ian. I preferred her to Joni Mitchell. Always said she wasn't promoted enough. Honey is pure jazz. Still have this and Seventeen in my repertoire. Janis you and your music have always, always been in my heart. God bless you.
I’ve so missed hearing Janis Ian’s music as living in an rv I no longer have a record player and gave all my vinyls away some 25 years ago. I’m so delighted to have found this. Thank you so much for rekindling my past through sharing such thought provoking tunes. 🎶
Thank you so much for sharing this!! I used to spend hours with this album in my room in 1975.. though I thought it was 1974.. LoL I am really feeling it all as I face my latter years especially.
This entire album, every note, tone, vibe, innuendo... all of it has been my constant companion since it's first release. Very few come close; very few.
@@artist4peace1 I used to pass through Nashville, it's been years ago. I love Janice's voice and the soul exposed in her music. Years since I've listened.
As you're still alive and kicking, HS has a place in one's mind; good memories or not. This is still one of my favorite Album/Cd. Thank you for the memories Janis. I'm in a stepping stone of the seventy younger now and wishing all of my friends still alive to enjoy the music.
Heard , Janis Ian on an Irish station this morning, , same era as myself , had forgotten about Janis Ian, would love to hear “ Angelina Jordan “ singing some of Her songs , (“ legend “). “ Both “
muy lindas canciones y una voz maravillosa, aunque el mensaje deprimente de una chica poco popular en ocasiones contrasta con la mala surtede las bonitas a quienes en muchas ocasiones molestan y no las dejan vivir en paz ...

6:36 Janis' music has meant so much to me ever since I was 17. I''m 73 now & still love her dearly!
I used to play this album over and over again love every single song, especially At Seventeen

This is a wonderful album. She's so versatile and her lyrics are true.

Janis Ian is a poet and singer and she's second to none , she is one of the best singer songwriters , she is a legend , she's just awesome ❤
I think that she was not promoted as well as Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Carole King, etc. but wow what a great songwriter.
Joni Mitchell took a long time to have popular success, because she was an artist & poet first. She wasn’t commercial.
Phoebe snow had short success. It’s a business, they just rotate quickly thru these artist to make their money. True artist continue their craft without being a “STAR” anymore. Tough business.
Janis was high on my list! I didn't particularly get into Joni. Her songs didn't get into my heart like Janis! Such a star!❤
Janis Ian is fantastic, At Seventeen just didn't speak to the women. That song made me feel emotion like it was speaking directly at me at a time in my life when there is a lot of uncertainty. Ahh High School, got to love it!

High school sucked.
i was a 15 young man and it resonated like no other song had before, or since. that voice, i feel every emotion

All great tunes, great arrangements, great music. My wife loved Janis Ian.
まさに、１７才から２１くらいに聴いていました。uah～Oh~~もう65にもなってもたよ。よく生きてこれたなあ。このアルバムの表紙懐かしいです。いまも、書棚にひっそりと存在しています。本当に「青春時代に乾杯！」と叫びたくなります。ありがとうございます。
Always loved Janis Ian. I preferred her to Joni Mitchell. Always said she wasn't promoted enough. Honey is pure jazz. Still have this and Seventeen in my repertoire. Janis you and your music have always, always been in my heart. God bless you.
Wherever you are Janis I carry your heart in my heart. Thank you
yes
ONE OF THE BEST SINGER SONGWRITER OF HER TIME.DID NOT GET RECOGNITION
@emBLICko:
Thank you very much for sharing this album here on TH-cam. 😍
What a Truly Beautiful Voice this Lady has ❤

One heluva exceptional music artist yet so underrated ""
Thanks for uploading. I remember Janis Ian. And I remember the young women I knew who loved her music. Janis Ian wrote all the songs on this album.
This is one of the most complete albums ever made. Wow…. Thank you Janis Ian.
もう５０年近くなるんですね。ジャニスの曲に出会ってね❗️最近は全く耳にする事も少なくなりました。たまたまジャニスの曲を見つけ当時の私がよみがえりました。最近はアメリカの曲を聞く事は無いですがこの時代はよく聴いていました。
such great album! Can`t get rid of it in 2024...!
There's no room for albums like this these days....
I don't think there's anybody who can do an album this pure & simple ....
BOOMER'S MUSIC was and IS the BEST! Such VARIETY! From Janus Ian to Linda Ronstadt to Helen Reddy to Karen Carpenter
Thank you so much for sharing this!! I used to spend hours with this album in my room in 1975.. though I thought it was 1974.. LoL I am really feeling it all as I face my latter years especially.
Love the voice ❤
Where have you been my whole life😍😍😍Goddess!!!!!!!
Great Songs by great Songwriter last forever.
This entire album, every note, tone, vibe, innuendo... all of it has been my constant companion since it's first release. Very few come close; very few.
高校生の時毎日聴いてたな〜。懐かしい。あれから半世紀か……
歌詞なんてわからなかったけど、歌って言葉じゃないんだよね。
こんなに年月が過ぎてるのに、一瞬で半世紀前にタイムスリップする感じ。
色々あったけど、生きてて良かった………
I remember hearing the song At Seventeen. I fell in love with it
This Lp got me thru college love this song especially thankx Janis
Wow... This is my era. How did I miss this??! Where is she now? Beautifully mesmerizing.❤️🌹
She lives in Nashville Tennessee and she still entertains at some cafe club
@@artist4peace1 I used to pass through Nashville, it's been years ago. I love Janice's voice and the soul exposed in her music. Years since I've listened.
Never too late to discover the greats. I’m happy for yu. When I heard her 1 st time in 1977. I was blown away. Still has that effect
From a diehard Janis devotee, salute, Madame❣️🥂
As you're still alive and kicking, HS has a place in one's mind; good memories or not. This is still one of my favorite Album/Cd. Thank you for the memories Janis. I'm in a stepping stone of the seventy younger now and wishing all of my friends still alive to enjoy the music.
This album mean so much .it helped to get through a bad place in my younger life. X
I was looking for this song. I'm glad I found it.
Thank you, timeless! Priceless.
Sending you love blessings and respect,Janis...x
♥️🙏☀️
Heard , Janis Ian on an Irish station this morning, , same era as myself , had forgotten about Janis Ian, would love to hear “ Angelina Jordan “ singing some of Her songs , (“ legend “). “ Both “
Great stuff.
Here because of 'Desert Blue' end credits. Lovely film
Delighted she just came up on my feed line
And, as the song goes, as well as the story..it wasn't the 'ugly' duckling who was ugly..it was the souls of those who criticized..
Nice one TY
In my opinion this is one of the best albums ever. Tea and sympathy is just wonderful.
One of the greats
I just love this girl.
muy lindas canciones y una voz maravillosa, aunque el mensaje deprimente de una chica poco popular en ocasiones contrasta con la mala surtede las bonitas a quienes en muchas ocasiones molestan y no las dejan vivir en paz ...
incurably thank you Janis {sinds 1980 }
Heartbreakingly beautiful.
Lovely❤
She’s so innocent. Between:
THE BEST .
One love 💘❤ Janis
Totally agree
❤❤
What a voice
💝🙏
😔😍😍
wow amazing talent in writing n singing. too bad she never became popular as joplin etc..
Her Most famous song "in the winter " is missing!
Nice voice
She's sounds as great live, better!
Класс👍
