There are so many underrated Canadian bands/vocalists. Been listening to them since the 60s. They may not be recognized in many other countries (including the U.S.), but one thing is for sure, CANADA recognizes them and thanks them for some of the best music out there. Remember, the Guess Who is a Canadian band that knocked the Beatles out of the #1 spot on the charts. Long live Canadian music!
Saw her in literally a dive bar waaaaaaay back in the day, and people had to be dragged in to see her, she wasn't the "It Girl" but boy did she ever deliver. What a talent.
ccmyart Celine has a beautiful voice and tbh I think a large part of her fame came from the song that she did for the Titanic movie (which incidentally was American). Although in retrospect she gots nothing on enya but still a nice voice non the less. But fully agree that sass is GREAT right to this day. Also mad props to the OP for not making another cliche millennial attention whore comment 'like this comment if your still listening in *insert year*." That's like saying "if you're watching the video above this comment, like this comment cuz reasons!"
Sass Jordan has it going the fuck on, her and that raspy voice straight up, amazing back in day had this Cassette, Rats down in West Palm, we rolled around raaaaaaawkd the shit out of it but then tape get stuck in player like all others had to take a pencil roll bk in, but she truly was one underestimated singer, but she always kicked major league ass many moons ago seen in Florida she rocked the shit outta place! True raaawwwwwking Woman at her finest💯💯😎🤘🤘
Pretty cool backing band with John Corabi on guitar and original LA Guns bassist Kelly Nichols on bass. I believe they were just brought in for the video 🤘Sass kicks ass!
Lucky i lived close to the border and could get CHOM FM out of Montreal. Heard so many great Canadian artists that didn't get airplay down here in the US. Awesome music!
Canuck blues/rock at its best,love Sass' appearance at SarsFest w/Jeff Healey dishing it on a six string,And I think they stole the piano and left Sass! Lol
@@seanbodkin8549 I also love Roll with the Changes by REO Speedwagon. I heard that song when I was 12 years old on a TV car commercial and I had difficulty finding it. And 18 years later, I heard the song on the radio and used the Shazam app to tell me what the song was.
This song is fantastic, haven’t listened to it in along time, it has even more meaning now at my age, and being through what I’ve been through, I will always have my faith that is for sure
And this, ladies & gentlemen, is where The Black Crowes got their sound. The Crowes’ debut came out in 1990, before this song, but Sass had been releasing albums with that sound since 1988. First saw her singing back vocals with Montreal’s The Box & have been hooked ever since. Love you, Sass! 😁👏👏🏆
This BadAss Woman here is one of the best female vocalist ...I saw her in Orlando FL in 1995 or so an I fell in love with her an the crazy German I went with...Best times of my life!!!😉
The first time I heard her voice was on Jude Cole's song Start the Car. I was an immediate fan. I thought I was hearing a supercharged Janice! What a great talent!
First time I heard you I feel in love with the stories you can tell, only read the lyrics and had to go buy the cassette. Back in 1994, love your music.
Saw her in a small venue in toledo. Great show. She actually forgot the words to this song and she laughed so hard and they started over. Memory made thatt night.
For some fucked-up reason I cannot stop playing along with this song on my guitar. And all of a sudden some final pieces of the puzzle fall in place here. If anyone just knows what powerful feeling that is. And to be honest I only discovered this great songstress just some months ago while downing someones wishlist.
@@billfenton7147 Billy , get off the crack pipe,and compared to what ? Canada has some of the most amazing acts in the world.Have you ever heard of Rush ,Triumph ,Nickelback, Metric, Arcade Fire, Blue Rodeo, BTO, Guess Who, The Band, Gino Vanelli, Loverboy, Honeymoon Suite, April Wine, Barenaked Ladies ,Bryan Adams,Billy Talent Saga,Rough Trade,Tragically Hip, Sass Jordan ,Joanie Mitchell, Neil Young, Sloan, Prism,Trooper ,Sara Mclauhlin,Sam Roberts, Tom Cochrane ,Aldo Nova,The Spoons ,Parachute Club, Anne Murray, to name a few .
Great talent. In retrospect, easy to spot the reasons she never became an international sensation, some obvious and others not so obvious. She made a worthy contribution to rock in any circumstance, however.
The album that features THIS Songl #INCREDIBLE "Racine" was perhaps one of the BEST Albums of1993, if my memory serves me correcty... Worth Listening to, and considering for your Library. Thanks for reviewing my Comments....
The crazy thing is that more than thirty years later, anyone who knows a little about the potential of a voice still wonders (and rightly so) why Sass Jordan has always been, and still is today. Today, an underestimated artist, and not just a little, a lot. This song, for example, has no complexes in the face of thousands of lesser quality songs which have made an enviable place for themselves. I think we have to look either at Sass (did she really want it to go further at that time), at her integrity (like refusing offers that come with bad conditions of monetary / physical (you know what i mean) / career direction / etc..), or, in my opinion, that it was the worst time in history for an Anglo-Quebec artist to find a place. The socio-political context of the time gave no chance, unless, like Jim Corcoran for example, we started singing in French. It's sad, tragic, and unfair. And by the way, before the judgments fall, I am 100% part of this French Quebec tribute. But I have no reserve about having a negative opinion of our closed-mindedness at the time. Fortunately, this era is long gone, but it will have claimed victims, including Sass ;-(
I really wish Sass and the Black Crows would just cut the cord from the industry and bring back REAL rock... like collaborate and make serious rock happen once again...I dunno... just feels right
Ok. I will call this underrated. Is good to DJs on canadian radios play something original sometimes... Other than their overplayed 20 best mixed tape from the 90s.....
Ah, let me tell y? all a little story 'Bout this time I was down and out Just goes to prove there's always a light on But if you look, you'll find it's inside of you So I want y'all to listen up

Seen her live in Osoyoo's also with a few other excellent musicians.. the concert was being held in a football field right beside a farmers apple orchid trees. He had just finished harvesting and did his regular thing and trimmed all the dead branches and made about 15 or so huge piles to be cleared in the next few days. He mentioned to security that this could be a potential problem with over 2,000 drunk, high and partners. Security didn't flinch and said " WHATEVER " The bands were Bryan Adam's, Grapes of Wrath, Red hot chili peppers, Extreme, Sass Jordan and Duran Duran and finally Steve Miller performed last. Now you can just imagine such a crowd, great music... something was bound to happen.. 9 bustles of dead tree branches were set fire and we cracked open more beer until fire engines and cops destroyed our night.. 😥😔😟

FM way back, Saga later on and mostly retired now. Yes indeed.
Saw her in literally a dive bar waaaaaaay back in the day, and people had to be dragged in to see her, she wasn't the "It Girl" but boy did she ever deliver. What a talent.
That's my dad on keyboard/piano!!! Roger Yale!!! And my uncle playing guitar! Chris Yale!!! Get this band back together!
Sass deserves more spotlight and way more credit.
A nearly lost gem from the 90s as far as I'm concerned. Thankfully Foo Fighters gave her some exposure & I was able to rediscover this. TY Dave & Co.
one of the most under rated vocalists...This lady rocks and delivers the goods to this day..
+Trent Oleksuik Amen to that.
+Trent Oleksuik Love, love, love!!!!
Seen Miss Sass live more than once. When she was in her prime...🇨🇦

Been in love with Sass' voice hat first listen 30yrs ago. Stil am!!!
Lucky i lived close to the border and could get CHOM FM out of Montreal. Heard so many great Canadian artists that didn't get airplay down here in the US. Awesome music!
Seen Sas when this album came out small venue, still listen to her so under rated! She's missed
I was so sad when Sass gave our baby to someone else. I hope and pray it is a Xmas Baby. God Bless . We Will Make You A Believer.
Canuck blues/rock at its best,love Sass' appearance at SarsFest w/Jeff Healey dishing it on a six string,And I think they stole the piano and left Sass! Lol
Incredible! This is raw talent.
Going to see Sass tonight. So looking forward to it!!!!!
Always loved the photography in this video. And little Sass is so cute. The fact that it's a gem of a tune is what always brings me back.
One of the most humble talented artist and singer that Canada should recognize as leading the way to good music! Good on ya Sass!!!
She is just absolutely AMAZING !!!
I love this song. I can play it in a loop all day.
Go listen to Roll With the Changes by REO Speedwagon after hearing this song. 😎

Incredibly talented young lady that first out ROCKS
The Girl in The Box....Sass Jordan has that incredible voice!
Today I found out....
Just noticed original superband! 🤘 😎 🤘
So terribly underrated. Period.
Followed her since she was back up singing for French Canadian band The Box.
Highlight was when guitar slinger Stevie Salas joined her for awhile. Goddammit that was a great time in life.
Saw her at the Mad Monk in Wilmington NC. 30+yrs ago. Put on a amazing show.
I just saw a concert with her and she is still AMAZING!!
Seen her couple weeks ago in Prince George BC Canada! She rocked!!
This BadAss Woman here is one of the best female vocalist ...I saw her in Orlando FL in 1995 or so an I fell in love with her an the crazy German I went with...Best times of my life!!!😉

Sass...a brilliant musical artist.❤❤❤
Bought Racine after hearing this song once. Didn't regret it. Great rock singer!
She's a amazing singing artist.
Hard to believe that this song wasn't just absolutely HUGE!! Maybe she was too good for her time
1992 great year for music loved this song
I could listen to her sing for the rest of my life ❤️
Can't wait to see her this month!! ❤️🥰
Rock and roll down beat! I dig it!
Excellent!
always awesome
Great accompaniment.
Saw her in Memphis, phenomenal! I must have played this song a 100 times!!!
Saw her in a small venue in toledo. Great show. She actually forgot the words to this song and she laughed so hard and they started over. Memory made thatt night.
The early 90's great times great music
AWESOME LOVE HER
i bought one of her albums in the early 90s i think i saw a song called pissing down and i was like why not ill get it been a fan ever since
Yep. That was on "Rats", one of her harder blues albums. She's the best!
2 thumbs WAY UP! Sass rocks!
Ok who actually gave the thumbs down? Great singer with a great rockin tune.
Someone with bad taste
For some fucked-up reason I cannot stop playing along with this song on my guitar. And all of a sudden some final pieces of the puzzle fall in place here. If anyone just knows what powerful feeling that is.
And to be honest I only discovered this great songstress just some months ago while downing someones wishlist.
Just awesome🎶💯
It really annoys me that so many talented Canadian artists never made it in the U.S.
@WJB Motown Sad our American brothers have been robbed by a corporate coup even worst days ahead I fear!
@WJB Motown unfortunately it's even more complex than that!
Neil Young ?
Why? Because so many had a shitty generic sound? Sadly Canadian music for the most part sucks in comparison.

And those reasons are?
Man it's than Black Crowes, what a voice, live knocks your socks off!
When i choose GNR paradise city on karaoke I always throw this song in the chorus. fits perfectly
I love this song love you sass❤️😘
Of more interest to me was Kelly Nickels and John Corabi being the guys sharing the mike with her. Never knew this happened.
Sing it girl!!
Shassssh
Quelle voix.
No ! -
She is NOT forgotten !!! !!!
Covered this in high school music class, a banger for sure.
The album that features THIS Songl
#INCREDIBLE
"Racine" was perhaps one of the BEST Albums of1993, if my memory serves me correcty...
Worth Listening to, and considering for your Library.
Thanks for reviewing my Comments....
I have had a crush on this beautiful lady since she did back up vocals for the Box. Dare to dream
I mean, c'mon. Sass, Darby, .. not many make us proud to be Canadian. Thank you, Sass.
Don't forget Lee Aaron, she just put out a new album. Did a cover of Black Cat by Janet Jackson. It's preety good.
love this song

Sass Jordan = Talent + Passion * Integrity
I love that song remind me back in the 90 s I was sailing instructor in Club Med my best friend at this time was a canadian
Opening track from her classic album, Racine. Love it 30 years later...
Love the guitar in this song I'm learning the tabs for it currently
I really wish Sass and the Black Crows would just cut the cord from the industry and bring back REAL rock... like collaborate and make serious rock happen once again...I dunno... just feels right
Scientist experiments have to follow suit
I'd love to see Sass Jordan, Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow at the same show one right after another....
And Beth Hart ❤️❤️
One hot track.
I never realized how much this sounded like the Black Crows back in the day
There’s cool, then there’s Sass Jordan cool 😍
♥♥♥
Nice!!!!!
Didn't know she existed until a few minutes ago. She's pretty good.
Check out her RATS CD.
Ok. I will call this underrated. Is good to DJs on canadian radios play something original sometimes... Other than their overplayed 20 best mixed tape from the 90s.....
Impressed. Bb. 🎼😉
this is a kick ass song
4:30 always love this song 💯🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🙏🏼 4:30
John Corabi !! Cool!
They say that to copy someone is the best form of flattery.. I loved playing this song in the band Penalty Box that I played bass in..
When The Black Crowes needed another vocalist imagine what could have been if they hired her.
Love me some SASS !!
Ah, let me tell y? all a little story
'Bout this time I was down and out
Just goes to prove there's always a light on
But if you look, you'll find it's inside of you
So I want y'all to listen up
💜💟😃💟💜
I love her music. Am I the only one who thinks it sounds like the Black Crowes with a female singer?
❤me and my mom use to listen to her everyday❤
Great
I hear ya thefeet, it is exactly what we need! Come on Sass, we need a real rocker chick bringing the sexy in Rock!!
Yeeeees. Rock n roll is the sexiest. It's listening to older singers that make me feel young, not demonic dance music that makes u feel old quick.
I love this music my dad has a band and they play this song:]
I wouldn't mind seeing one of her concerts.
Ah, let me tell y? all a little story
'Bout this time I was down and out
Just goes to prove there's always a light on
But if you look, you'll find it's inside of you
So I want y'all to listen up
I've been sitting here all night
Tryin' to make this thing work out right
I've been getting nowhere fast
Suddenly, as I lay down on the bed
I hear a little voice inside my head
It says, "If you want to do it girl, you got to have some faith
Come over here and listen, hurry up or you'll be late"
Listen to my story, listen to me well
Oh, I will make you a believer
If you're feeling sorry for yourself, I can tell now
Oh, I will make you a believer
Yeah, I will make you a believer, oh yeah
So you been tryin' to make amends
For the bloodsuckers you call friends
Drag you deep into the hole
Crazy that you'd let them into your world
They will take your diamonds baby, they will steal your pearls
If you want to play the game, you've got to lose the rules
You can play with passion, rules are just for fools
Listen to my story, listen to me well
Oh, I will make you a believer
If you're feeling sorry for yourself, I can tell now honey
Oh, I will make you a believer
Yeah, I will make you a believer
Ya gotta learn to fall in love with what's inside
Get on the horse I wanna ride
I got a reason to believe the light's inside
Oh oh, oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Are ya with me so far?
Hey, some things I can? t help to have
Some things have to wait
Some things I will never get, I will always
I will always have my faith, I? ll have my faith
I will make you a believer
Oh, I will make you a believer
Oh, I will make you a believer, hey honey
Oh, I will make you a believer, oh yeah
Oh, I will make you a believer
Oh, I will make you a believer
I will make you a believer, oh oh yeah
Believe me honey
