She maybe 21 years old at that time, so beautiful!
For me Sissel has the most pure, most beautiful, effortless voice in the world, the pure voice of heaven.
We see Neil has a jaw dropping experience !
Her voice is straight from heaven. A God given gift.
She is from my home town Bergen, Norway. It`s known for having famous singers, and composers. As for Sissel, she is is the best selling artist in Norway. She has sold in total 10 million records in a country of 5 million.. That`s incredible. It`s as if an artist sold 600 million in the U.S.
@@yellyman5483 Definitely a 1 in a billion talent! We in the US only have performers not singers...
No one comes close to this beautiful lady .
if I am in Norway, I will come close to this angel!
Sissel is an angel.
I remember this. She had flu when on stage. She couldn't say 1 word earlier that day... Fever 39°C and sick. She saved her voice to this moment. Neil later said in an interview that there has been only one singer that has given him goosbumps and chills when they sing this song. That person was Barbra Streisand, but after this he said "after this night, a sick Sissel is an angel and blow everyone away with her voice. BS go home.... "
Neil is enraptured here...
Interesting. Sissel is a trooper in the entertainment business. There are other super performances she has put in when sick. (Two of them on TH-cam). She will try not to let an audience down or a venue. Not like another, globally more famous, singer who was to sing in my home town but cried off for feeling unwell but sang the next night in the town up the road. She lost me as a fan.
@@noriemeha that's sad. Hope you still enjoy Sissel. ❤
She blows Karen carpenter out of the water with this one100percent
@@lapulapupintado2892Both amazing. Karen's voice in this was stronger, but I adore Sissel.
Neil Sedaka had the best seat in the concert hall!
Sissel can sing anything and effortlessly make it sound sublime.
I rarely ever cry, but this performance and watching Neil's reaction teared me up.
Neil’s reaction is priceless)
The absolute Joy and Love on Neil Sedaka's face, as Sissel performs a perfect rendition of one of his greatest hits. Sheer brilliance from both of you. Thank You.
Which is more beautiful???....her voice, or her smile, or those dazzling eyes??
Her tone is beyond silver or gold, for me it's like diamonds raining gently down from the heavens. Multi-facetted and sparkling with purity.
I'm a 67 year old that like so many , trying to live out the rest of my life in quiet desperation. Every time I hear this song it's like somebody kicking me in he gut knocking out my breath.
Yes Neil connected with this singer on every note and moment. Neil is such a total artist. Supported her performance all the way.
Neil Sedaka - a gentleman who respects - and is somewhat in awe of - someone who makes his music truly magical. A wonderful song, beautifully penned and sung magnificently.
门🙇📴💘
Why does this song makes me so happy and so sad? Great singing!
I wish I knew. I feel the same. There's something inexplicable about the way these two special people can fill your heart & soul with such love & sadness. I keep coming back to listen (& look at their special connection). Beautiful ❤
Neil, like all of us, is captivated. A beautiful rendition of a beautiful Neil Sedaka song.......
Neil is in a trance. One can hardly blame him!!!
Shes a beautiful lady plus her voice is so heavenly. A gift from God.
.
@@cherub1904And the thing is she's still very very beautiful today at age 54, she has aged so gracefully to the extend that some might say she's even more beautiful now 30+ years later, it's a quite unique feature. And of course no botox and plastic on a classy lady like her. And her voice is still second to none.
She has a beautiful voice
I love Sedaka's response to her!! So well done with the performance and the accompaniment!!
Just beautiful!
Love the look on Sedaka's face,
The world did not know what it had with Sissel. The most perfect voice ever was in this young lady's soul. I am always amazed at every age; she never strains to hit excellent, flawless high notes. She is a pure joy to listen to.
beautiful beautiful beautiful voice
Sissel is of course magnificent, but look to Neil. His joy in her success is the sign of a great heart. There comes a moment where they both realize that this is a home run...look for it. Great people...never doubt the world is filled with them.
Real talent both!
Neil is definitely there for her, guiding, and providing her, self assurance. That was nice to see. She is so young here, and he is very aware of the up and coming; talented rising star, singing
with him.
Both versions are beautiful. Can't get enough of Sissel.
How magical to write such magnificent lyrics and then to see them so brilliantly illuminated by such a spectacular voice.
So unfair that such beauty and talent are possessed by one person !!!
But she handles them both wonderfully.
She blows Sedaka away!!! I think he loved her during the song and that is so fine and a joy
Beautiful song beautifully performed, Neil is looking at her like he is in love with her
She does that to people!!
Who wouldn't be?
Everytime I listen to her I feel her voice go through my soul like a pure crystal, and I feel like I'm on a mountaintop, very close to God, and absolutely filled with sheer joy. I feel like she's my sister, my friend and yet her voice is so perfect it's totally incomprehendible. A true Gift from the Father of Heavenly Lights above. Thank God for giving Sissel to the world!!!!!!
Beautiful Thank you Neil and Sissel
Damn! What a voice this lady has!
She is one of a kind!!! So is Neil.
She is from my home town Bergen, Norway. It`s known for having famous singers, and composers. As for Sissel, she is is the best selling artist in Norway. She has sold in total 10 million records in a country of 5 million.. That`s incredible. It`s as if an artist sold 600 million in the U.S. You can see that Sedaka is totally in awe of her performance. This is live. No autotune of anything. I met her once at the local cinema. It was when she used to live her, right after she became famous.
Still some voices says Sissel is not enough appreciated by Norwegians
Still Neil Sedaka nailed this when he sung it..
What a talent.
Thank you Neil Sedaka for writing and singing it and then shared it..
God bless 🙏
He is so talented and so is she. He has written such beautiful music and plays a lovely piano. But what I really love about this the way they interact especially when Sadaka is lip sinking his own music.
0:27 Clearly Neil guides Sissel through the lyrics which seem unfamiliar to Sissel. That may mean that they may not even rehearsal.
Neil Sedaka is one of the greatest si ngers and songwriters ever and he k nows talent just like Sissel is.
Mamma mia! Che meraviglia! What a wonderful! It's the first time I do listen this song by Sissel! And Neil Sedaka, bravo, bravo!!
Wonderful rendition. The chemistry between them - the composer/ accompanist & his protégés. Jeanne
Beautiful angelic vocalization of one of Neil's compostions.
Her voice is so rich and beautiful, her range wide beyond comparison, she is simply incomparable.
A classical song. One of the best!!
Masterfully performed.
Heavenly voice ,lovely song and beautiful woman. Even Sedaka is enthralled !
I absorbed every note of that wonderful voice. Superb.
Go with it Mr. Sedaka. What a beauty.
God has given the world and Angel 😇 with sublimes in her voice...!!! Thank You God for Sossel...!
Her name is Sissel.
SISSEL ,
Your voice is sweet as the summer breeze.
her voice is just magical and this was so early in her career ! To hear her voice is to fall in love.
Amazing. The only live oboe who ever lived. Prettiest instrument in the whole wide round world.
Every known singer, that sang with her, admire her singing ability
Beautiful voice-gorgeous lady. Would love to see her live.
I love this so much... Karen Carpenter sang her version of this, and imagine these two duetting if she lived to this time... what a combo!
At 18, it must have come as a significant boost to her confidence when a songwriter like Sedaka plays his composition for her to sing and he is giving all the signals during performance that she is delivering it and in spades.
Heavens open its gates to You for sharing this magnificent sensual feast. Ever since I heard it, each time I get saddened, but melancholic just as well, I replay this heartsome, vibrant composition. The synchrony, and connection on the emotional level is truly moving and fills me up with tears of joy and appreciation for glimpses of divine in this overall gloomy world.
My God. She is so Beautiful!
Beautifully done. People should strive for a better world, not hate others.
If it were any better I couldn't stand it! Beautiful!
Norway is debt free, but the world owes Sissel. Makes it a positive economic country.
Amazing voice .She has really blossomed has she has got older and gets better and better.
einfach fantastisch beide Interpreten, bin glücklich, dass ich mir das ansehen und anhören kann, bin begeistert 👍👍👍
Благодарю Вас!Вы очаровательны!!!!!!
So so brilliant. Amazing performance to one of my best of Neil's songs xxx
If you listen closely you'll hear some of her little childhood tones resonating throughout the song. No wonder she is such a sweetheart.
Well, she's 21 here and some way to go before the voice will realize its prime. It's in transition. I heard she was unwell at this performance and running a high fever. If that's true then she was quite heroic here.
WOW! Sissel is outstanding. TY so much for sharing. Just in so much awe. Love that Neil Sedaka is totally enthralled with her voice and is so supportive while he plays. It gives the sense of a true collaboration of mutual respect. There such a wonderful sense of joy and appreciation between composer and performer!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Voice with us! I begin each day listening to one of your songs. ❤️🙏🏽🌈🌹🌻💕
My word…just beautiful.
Whow!!! This lady is just on another level!!!
She grew to be only better, not that one can think it possible....
Omg Beautiful Brilliant Performance Guys Well Done
Oh my goodness that was beautiful. Very emotional interactions between the two. I love Sissel's beautiful voice & Neil's accompaniment is amazing. Oh wow - just wow💕🎶
Voice of an angel!!!
Been a fan of his ever since he came on the scene in the fifties songwriter extrordinair
Goosebumps...!
The moment, best time, happiest time.... But now 2021 it will never be the same... Best memories
The second best cover of this amazing song.
Reminds me of the feeling when I got when I saw Diana Ross sing "When you tell me that you love me" on a Royal Variety Show or something similar -- Such a beautiful powerful moving performance -- life enhancing really ...
now that sissel sings it, i love the song
That was beautiful
Two of my favorites.
It gets me every time I hear this.
Goosebumps everywhere 😍😍😍😍
That voice she has is totally unik ❤❤❤
you are right
It is so beautiful.That angelic voice makes me having guss pumps .
ADORO Sissel...
Entretanto, creio que JAMAIS superarão a magistral interpretação de Karen Carpenter desta composição tão linda de Neil Sedaka.
So beautiful it led me to tears of joy.
Oh my GOD. My dear Neil I'm your fan since almost beginning and looking your face I know that you agree with me,never one of your beautiful songs was so great interpretation then this (except you). About the voice of Sissel, I don't know...the others sing, what Sissel do is other thing. From LISBON with love.
Just amazing
