Many years ago I had the great fortune and pleasure to meet and work with the talented, lovely, and beautiful Bernadette Petters. Complementary and giving. Never a nicer celebrity and person you could ever meet! She is truly one in a million... Love you Bernadette!
Someday, Bernadette will be recognized as a voice in American music history. Excuse me, not just a voice, but an example of excellence in American music history.
Besides her singing, i love the fact that she wanted to let everyone know the name of the pianist, before they changed the subject. That was so sweet of her and it also denoted what a magnificent artist she is
OUTSTANDING rendition of surely one of the very greatest songs in the entire history of existence. THANK you Hank Sr, Bernadette, Elvis and the LORD.....
She is the only person I ever saw make Bob Hope speechless. She stole the show. It was one of his USO SHOWS. She was hilarious and poor Bob didn't see it coming. She is one of the most well rounded entertainers in History.
Holy crap! Never thought I'd hear this song sung in a different genre other than country! WHAT a voice! She sings like an angel and Hank Williams Sr would be proud!
My Sister Patty is so sick. I need help. I came here to listen to music. Music from an old friend. I’m scared. Send your thoughts and prayers for sure but especially your best wishes for a speedy recovery. I know I’m asking too much but there it is. Do your best like Bernadette. XO 😘
@@vidiot9006 that's so not true, just because someone can't belt really high notes doesn't mean they aren't talented. Music trends and unique voices are constantly evolving which is what makes music so incredibly awesome
What a marvellous performance, this is vocalising at its most magical. Sadly we live in an era where belting and hollering and shouting is seen as great vocal performing, but a pro like Peters proves that it's all in the gentlest nuances, the character of the voice, the whimsicality, vulnerability, and sheer beauty of her pipes. This is an absolutely haunting rendition.
And I left Liza Minnelli's attempt to sing "Some People" after twenty brutal seconds, to look for Peters singing it. Sigh of relief. Would it be blasphemy to suggest that the best version of Dolly Parton's "I will always love you" is, and always will be, Dolly Parton's?
...and she gave respect/credit to her piano player because it took the two of them to make that song. That's modesty. It's always the artists with humility that really make the grade. I've played guitar and piano all of my life and I've been in a thousand situations where I was laying down the song so some singer could do a "karaoke" to my music. It has always amazed me how rarely the singer would share the credit for making that song. Rather, they most often take all the credit and ignore the musician that is making it all possible.
Woow!...I just heard an angel singing with her sweetest, gentleness, softest voice..."I'm so Lonesome, I could Cry"...Thanks for sharing with us your awesome voice...💞💯🥰
Alone since '09, been hearing this in my head as of late and stumbled on this. Things happen for a reason unknown to us why but there it is...Thank You for Being, Bernadette...just in time, right on time
Wow, what a beautiful voice and a beautiful woman. Always had a crush on her. You just want to hug her and just hold her for the longest time. Thank You Bernadette, you sing like a angel.
I met her in a book store in the upper west side. She was standing over me with her angelic face and beautiful soul. She said it a good book. I was suffering from the loss of my mother. I raised my head and her presence and kindness gave me relief and closure. I hope she reads this short opinion. GD. Created Bernadette to give us peace and happiness through her art creative compassion for others in pain 🙏 Respectfully Anthony Bove' ❤
BEAUTIFUL BERNADETTE 🥰❤️❤️🥰 I just LOVE HER!! My beautiful 25 yr. old niece shares her birthday with this beautiful and talented lady : 2/28. God bless them both.
What a hauntingly beautiful rendition! You can feel the lyrics in your bones. At the end of the singing, it seems like she has to bring herself back from the song. One of the greatest live performances on TV and with just her magical voice and a piano! I love that she doesn't do all the acrobatic and overly dramatic singing or strictly stick to the original. Instead she just sings with pure emotions and feelings and with her beautiful vibratos in a simply wonderful arrangement. I also love that she gives credit to Mark on the piano. I'm a fan. Thank you for sharing.
I had a huge crush on Bernadette. She was the total package. She could dance and sing. She was also very sexy and funny. I especially loved her voice. It has this sweet and innocent little girl sound to it, but yet she had a sweet of pipes on her, and could sing with the best of them. She was great when she appeared on shows like Carol Burnett, where all of these things were able to shine, as well as the films she was in.
I saw this live the night it aired and it is one of the pivotal moments in my music career,. I don't recall the year- late '80s? I never forgot this performance and how it moved me.
This lady is soooo BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED. I LOVE Bernadette Peters. I have her Gee Whiz single record. I also love and enjoy her rendition of the beautiful classic song: Tonight You Belong To Me.❤️❤️
Absolute pure voice! Most people can't pull that off, with very little accompaniment. Accompaniment helped keep the song simple and pure..to spotlight her voice.
Nice interpretation of this song. Kind of operatic and kind of stage. She's also great at comedy. I remember her in a short-live sitcom in the mid-70s called "All's Fair" with Richard Crenna. Have always enjoyed her work.
"The Silence Of A Fallen Star,Lights Up A Purple Sky",what a lyric;just goes to show you Hank Williams was a romantic and just wanted to love and be loved! Not this falling down drunk,that everyone says he was!
Steve Endicott, I had to re-evaluate my thoughts about Mr. Williams when I found out why he died so young: He had Spinal Bifida as an infant and almost died. He was in pain most of his life from the effects of the disease. He self-medicated with alcohol because no one had any better medications or the knowledge to help him. One of the effects of SB is the weakening of the heart muscle. Hank was lucky to live as long as he did. I'm so glad he made it to 29, so we would have his lovely music forever.
Thank you so much for uploading this absolute treasure of a performance. I think everyone in here has already said everything. She is absolutely incredible.
As a devoted Bernadette fan for DECADES,,, seeing everything multiple times....Her class ans an entertainer and talent are unsurpassed... BRAVO Ms. Peters... You are a brilliant gift to us all.🥰
I never heard a woman sing this song.
She's an angel

She already is.
Yeah I think that ship has sailed

SHE IS. A BEUTIFUL SOUL❤ AND BROADWAY
ACTRESS. 💥💥💥
Truly !
Besides her singing, i love the fact that she wanted to let everyone know the name of the pianist, before they changed the subject. That was so sweet of her and it also denoted what a magnificent artist she is
When you hear that clapping that sort of comes and goes in waves....that is true respect from the audience
Absolutely, because their performance was a perfect collaboration.
OUTSTANDING rendition of surely one of the very greatest songs in the entire history of existence. THANK you Hank Sr, Bernadette, Elvis and the LORD.....
If only we had known how young and beautiful we were back when we were young and beautiful
She is the only person I ever saw make Bob Hope speechless. She stole the show. It was one of his USO SHOWS. She was hilarious and poor Bob didn't see it coming. She is one of the most well rounded entertainers in History.
Holy crap! Never thought I'd hear this song sung in a different genre other than country! WHAT a voice! She sings like an angel and Hank Williams Sr would be proud!
It's the singer who makes a song country or not.
@@mrjasondylan so what genre is it really? the one she performs in
As would B. J.
Yes im sure Hank would have approved of Bernadette's rendition and loved to have a duet singing it with her!
@@avtobus1234I'd say soft rock or jazz.
❤absolutely Beautiful Bernadette ❤
Got to admit, loved Hank Williams, but she is an angel. Just a different interpretation is all. Awesome. Lovely girl.
It was beautiful. Hank would have been so proud of Bernadette!! That red head sings like an angel 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍
Angel yes. Girl no.
My Sister Patty is so sick. I need help. I came here to listen to music. Music from an old friend.
I’m scared. Send your thoughts and prayers for sure but especially your best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I know I’m asking too much but there it is. Do your best like Bernadette. XO 😘
Look Ma, no autotune. This is absolutely magical. Thank you for posting.
Truly gifted singing voice not found much today...
@@vidiot9006 that's so not true, just because someone can't belt really high notes doesn't mean they aren't talented. Music trends and unique voices are constantly evolving which is what makes music so incredibly awesome
Riveting.
Haunting.
Magical.
Damn !!
Piano player was killing it, too, those guys don't get the appreciation they deserve.
Thanks!
Perfection: pianist and beautiful angel
Always fun making music with Bernadette...thanks Geo!
Awesome comping Mark!!!
Bernadette’s singing voice is only matched by her lovely speaking voice.
I adore both so much!
❤️
Bernadette proves a great song defies category.
+Steve Jump Exactly!

This is an absolutely haunting rendition.
POObumpoopo I thought of Beyonce when you said hollering..... She's all over the place. No where near the vocal control that you see here.
And I left Liza Minnelli's attempt to sing "Some People" after twenty brutal seconds, to look for Peters singing it. Sigh of relief.
Would it be blasphemy to suggest that the best version of Dolly Parton's "I will always love you" is, and always will be, Dolly Parton's?
I've never heard it done by a woman before. She puts more feeling into it than any of the men I've heard sing it. It was absolutely beautiful.
She's good but too slow.
Elvis does it best.
😭😭😭 It is impossible to listen to this and not think of everyone in the world you miss.
I do believe that made it all the way to heaven! Hank Williams has to be smiling! Beautiful rendition!!! ❤
Lady with class. And a very beautiful personality. Who wouldn't want to meet her...
I always loved this girl. I haven’t seen her in ages. This is a treat.
75 years young and oh so beautiful
Hello Deborah, how are you doing?

She's a beautiful and classy lady.
True Broadway talent brings such depth to their performance. This is incredible!
Beautiful voice. Today's so called "artist" can never
She owns this song finest MOST touching version...
Always loved her.
Woow!...I just heard an angel singing with her sweetest, gentleness, softest voice..."I'm so Lonesome, I could Cry"...Thanks for sharing with us your awesome voice...💞💯🥰

I've been alone since '05, and am begging to feel the meaning of this song. Peters sings it beautifully.
Wow, what a beautiful voice and a beautiful woman. Always had a crush on her. You just want to hug her and just hold her for the longest time. Thank You Bernadette, you sing like a angel.
One of the most beautiful versions ever of the song by the lovely Bernadette.
BEAUTIFUL ! A beautiful rendition of a beautiful song by a beautiful woman !

WOW !! What beautiful legato line ... each line / phrase sung on one breath ... superb vocal control ...
This was over 30 yrs ago because Johnny retired in 1992 after 30yrs on the Tonight Show. She was brilliant.
What a talent … always loved hearing her sing!
Hello Connie, how are you doing?
You can see the feeling in her eyes . . . Wow brought tears to my eyes
Pure class! Awesome performance!
The piano 🎹 is amazing and reminds me of Leon Russell.
R.I.P. Leon ❤
Her voice and singing that song had me in tears of joy.
Exceptional arrangement! God she is phenomenal !
She is a songbird! I have loved this woman since I was as 10 years old!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! She truly felt every word.
And we did, too.

Ditto!
July 27, 1989.
Same here. It really did something to me.
Wow that was in the dark ages!
You Saw This?!!! I Envy You! I saw her sing Once. Every "and" & "the" & non major notes were Pitch Perfect & Bell Clear!!! Amazing True Talent.
Beautiful singing! 🎤 One of Hank Williams legendary songs.
RIght on, Johnny. She is simply marvelous. I would never have thought of this Hank Williams classic as a torch ballad, but it was beautiful.
Miss my MOTHER and FATHER 😢
What an angel!!!
Always loved this song. I've always loved Bernadette Peters in movies. Lovely lady. Not aware she was a singer until now. Angelic voice.
Just got done watching "The Voice" on tv. She would Absolutely demolish all competition! Oh my! Great voice control and note holding!
I had such a crush on her when I was a kid. She still is beautiful
Bernadette is so lovely. Beautiful, funny, and she can sing.
Happy Birthday, Miss Peters! :) I love her voice; it's beyond amazing.
A great lady, actress and singer. Brilliant.
Always thought she was Hot from the first time I saw her but never had a clue she could sing like that till now, decades later.
Too good for this sorry planet.
I had a huge crush on her growing up. She was so, so beautiful. And what an angelic voice she had.
This lady is soooo BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED. I LOVE Bernadette Peters. I have her Gee Whiz single record. I also love and enjoy her rendition of the beautiful classic song: Tonight You Belong To Me.❤️❤️
What a surprise. My favorite version.
For me, the greatest actress to ever grace the stage where music is involved.
Quinn Joel - I loved Ms. Peters in “Annie”! She was amazing!
great voice and a killer body to go with it
Absolutely Drew! She brings me so many tears of pure joy! PERFECTION!
Lovely. Beautifully sung. Hank Williams gift and we thank god
Absolute pure voice! Most people can't pull that off, with very little accompaniment. Accompaniment helped keep the song simple and pure..to spotlight her voice.
Much appreciated!
Beautiful woman and a great talent. American's China doll
Her voice is as beautiful, and she’s got a very pretty face!
Nice interpretation of this song. Kind of operatic and kind of stage. She's also great at comedy. I remember her in a short-live sitcom in the mid-70s called "All's Fair" with Richard Crenna. Have always enjoyed her work.
always loved her, and even more after watching this
mesmerising....................thank you.................
Her rendition of "Time Heals Everything" will tear out a heart--providing there is a heart to tear out.
Such a beautiful rendition!
what a talent. and beautiful too.
Goose bumps and chills, she's got an amazing voice
Bernadette Is just2good
WOW! I just found this exquisitely beautiful piece of art. What a performance!
I had no idea she had such a beautiful voice!
Bernadette has a voice that no one else's can compare to except Reba! !!
Reba? Was ist reba?
"The Silence Of A Fallen Star,Lights Up A Purple Sky",what a lyric;just goes to show you Hank Williams was a romantic and just wanted to love and be loved! Not this falling down drunk,that everyone says he was!
A poet.
Another poet...kris kristofferson. Not too many can compete with those two..
@@soonermimi53 Yes, and please do not forget Merle Haggard. Mama Tried comes to mind.
Hank Williams was a legendary blues man.
Steve Endicott, I had to re-evaluate my thoughts about Mr. Williams when I found out why he died so young: He had Spinal Bifida as an infant and almost died.

She's So majestically beautiful
Elvis Presley said this is the saddest song he ever herd. I agree. Ms. Peters adds the sadness to her singing beautifully.
Thank you so much for uploading this absolute treasure of a performance.
I think everyone in here has already said everything. She is absolutely incredible.
Miss you MOMMA 😢😢
Just magical...😍
All time favorite
As a devoted Bernadette fan for DECADES,,, seeing everything multiple times....Her class ans an entertainer and talent are unsurpassed... BRAVO Ms. Peters... You are a brilliant gift to us all.🥰

I've always been in love with this beautiful women
Always loved her! Classy!

That was stunning! Just stunning!
A real melody, beautiful sung and no repetitive words that mean nothing......What a shocker!
