I found Kate’s music as my wife’s memory started to fade. Each day as took care of my wife, Kate’s music helped me cope. Now that my sweet wife is gone Kate’s music helps me remember. And shed my tears. My wife’s name was Kay. To love and be love is everything.
An acoustic guitar, a bass, 2 voices. No auto tune BS, meaningful lyrics. I'm a 46 yo French guy and I can't stop being nostalgic of a period that was over when I was born. Today's music is far, far from such a quality writing and composing.
Such a beautiful old soul. I met Kate thru her soon to be husband Don Coffin in 1971. Don and I had a music class together at Sonoma State College. He invited me to his beautiful Victorian house he shared with Kate in Sebastopol one night to jam. We sat in her kitchen by the old wood stove and sang and sang till the wee hours of the morning. I went back often to sing and play with her and Don. I treasure those moments. She was only 29 then but this was not her first time on the planet. I was mesmerized by her presence. One night I was at one of her gigs and she asked me up on stage to join her in a couple of songs we used to play on those nights in her kitchen. I will forever be grateful for that experience. She was just a struggling singer/songwriter in those days, but I'm so happy she broke thru to the public and became a success. Her star will forever shine bright in the Universe. RIP Sweet Kate.
Willy you are “bang on” , this song is what I will remember when sang me to sleep. Thanks 😊. I love Joan Baez , Simon &garfunkel , the eagles, in fact that I grew up in that generation of such a profusion of talent, I an 75 years old, ( God spares me a couple of months) it’s the music that can lift your stir it
Yes, Kate was 'the voice' for me.. we sounded so much the same.. I know we were somehow connected.. I met her about a year before she died.. I loved her like a sister...and still cry for her. She was and remains unique in her style.. no one sounds like Kate.. just Kate
I heard this song once before back around 1986 and it’s lyrics appealed to me instantly but I never heard it since I guess it was played at the time Kate passed away RIP but by chance It came up in You Tube mix and I can’t stop playing it all week. Kate must have been a woman who was soaking in love kindness caring and romance. I also learned she’s left this world far too soon back in December 10/1986 this brings me to tears every time I hear her sing this wonderful song. Long live your music Kate your children must be very proud of you 👏❤️
I have loved Kate Wolf for many years and had the privelege of caring for her when she was ill-what an amazing grace filled women-God bless you always Kate.Gone way to early ...
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
That's impressive. The Tibetan believe if you lived a life of compassion you will accept old age better. I bet Kate was very gracious when you took care of her
I'm 60 years old and spent half a lifetime working on tour with all the big bands and I have never heard a song More poetic and mournful and meaningful than this one
Yes, memories of this song and album were with me and my daughters and their father on a logging camp in Alaska back in 1986. She moved my heart deeply at this time in my life, and I still love her so. So sorry she left us so soon being stricken with cancer.
I agree. Went through a double barrel wife loss, many years apart and many years ago. I learned. about loss and there's no easy way, but future awaits us. Grief & Splender for all of us that, want it to come. More later.
Ooh, I lived near her in Sonoma County and loved her then, and into now. I have her old albums and cherish them. She's always been an angel. She still makes me cry
November 4, 2021 marks a special day in my life. It is the day I first knew of Kate Wolf and heard her sing. The date also marks the day of this...my very first TH-cam post. How I came across this "Kate Wolf-Green Eyes" TH-cam video is a complete mystery; the video just appeared in the right-hand column of up-coming videos...was listened to...and DESERVED comment. I am now very conflicted. Since my early days of college in the 1960s, Joan Baez has always been my favorite female folk singer...especially Joan singing Bob Dylan songs. And then, today, for the very first time, I heard Kate Wolf sing "Green Eyes" with the voice of an angel. WOW! What a voice! So calming. So beautiful.
Had the pleasure and privilege of seeing her perform at Freight and Salvage in Berkeley, CA, way back in the day (early/middle 80s). So it was just before her tragic death in 1986. My friend and I went up to the stage after her performance to thank her for her music. She then graciously signed the album we had just bought. She told my friend, "Oh, you have such beautiful earrings!" My friend promptly took them off and gave them to Kate. Kate didn't want to accept them saying, "Oh, they are much too beautiful to give away." My friend said, "It's a small exchange for all the pleasure you've brought me with your music. Please. Take them. It would make me so happy." Kate smiled beautifully and put the earrings on there and then. A precious memory!
I only discovered Kate Wolf a couple of months ago and was dismayed and saddened to discover that she is no longer with us. A wonderful talent with a beautiful voice, taken from us far too soon. ❤
I just discovered her a couple days ago, I received an autographed copy of her Big Blue Sky cd along with a lot of old music CDs, and she actually signs her name Kayte Wolf, and this is dated 8/11/02. I love the warmth of her voice.
Yes I too am still listening in 2023. I am moved each and every time. Words can't express my sorrow at her passing even after all these years. Love and gratitude from Australia ❤❤❤
Amazed. At the younger generation that has just heard her for first time, and the ones that are singing her material. People still yearn for beautiful music like thist.
Contigo irmão na mesma emoção.Espero que esta princesa e rainha esteja nas melhores casas celestiais, já que como um anjo em sua voz nos permitiu sentir um pedaço de seu paraíso. Sagrado seja teu destino nossa divina princesa.
leeger777 no kidding I just found this. Then to find out she is gone. Example of parallel realities. She exists as if alive and well, perfect voice and evoking emotions....
Meine Frau hat mich auf sie aufmerksam gemacht. So eine wunderbare, warme Stimme. Es geht direkt ins Herz ❤ Nur schade, dass ich sie nicht schon vor Jahren gehört habe, soetwas lief leider nie im deutschen Radio. Aber, das ist das gute und positive an der heutigen Zeit, ermöglicht das Netz einen solch phantastische Künstler auch besser spät, als nie, zu entdecken
Same thing happened to me last year. Just stumbled across this video while listening to other songs. I was blown away. Couldn't believe I'd never heard of her or this song. I probably listened to this song for several hours on repeat. The guitar is perfect and her voice is heavenly.
Wow. Where have I been? First time I've heard this lovely sweet voice. Passed at 44? My, what a tragedy. Thumbs down? Really. My God this world has become so damn cruel.
Same here Ian. Dont know how she slipped past my "radar" And how about that singing harmony with that Bass player. I am really so taken with her performance. Beautiful lady too.OHHH I just saw in one of the comments she dies in 86. Terrible loss. I guess that explains a lot, huh?
I heard of Kate wolf. This is the first time I am hearing her performance. I am sorry she passed away at age 44. I want to convey my condolences and express my heartfelt sympathy to her family, friends and relatives.
This tune will follow me into eternity. What a songwriter, what a person. Many years after she left us she still is here. I do not believe in God, but let him/her watch over Kate’s soul.
On another Kate Wolfe rabbit hole after Nanci's passing. A number of years ago (thinking about it it's probably nearly 30!) I was at an Eric Bogle concert in London...and got him to sign the cover of Poets Heart (written about him by Kate). God she was so good
u are so lucky i am so lucky too we need this calming voice to clam us through these fucken days hope u guys all here good and healthy from here in Syria with all pain but still we could enjoy beautiful songs
Andrew Prokopis happened to me exactly the same way. Never heard of her before, I’m now hooked on all her songs, finding new ones every time I go digging, wonderful stuff.
C'est au hasard que j'ai découvert cette merveilleuse artiste, depuis je ne cesse d'écouter ses nombreux titres. C'est juste magnifique, quel talent, quel artiste cette voix m'envoute. Vous êtes partie trop tôt Kate mais votre musique restera éternelle. 🙏
@@suzannelawson9215 I didn't know I went to listen to a few titles, her voice is a little higher than Kate Wolf's, she reminds me a bit of Joan Baez. It is true that in France we are far from familiar with the American folk repertoire of yesterday and today, which must be very rich. It's a great discovery!!! THANKS !! 🙏
This has really touched me Victor. I just lost my Mom, I was holding her hand as I saw her take her last breath. It was the greatest honor I've ever felt in my life. I hope the year has been kind to you in your grieving process as I hope mine will be as my year has just begun. As I play this song over again here's to you Kay and Jackie. You are still deeply loved.
No idea that she ever lived. Just heard her just now for the first time. She‘s so impressive... The good always go too young. But a part of her is still here. With us. Thanks for being with us.
Kates voice, is ethereal, haunting, and this beautiful ballad, is really her song. It just re-enforces the saying that it’s beautiful music makes the human spirit soar forever upwards.
This album was recorded live at Austin City Limits in 1985, at the peak of Kate's career, not long before she was diagnosed with the leukemia that took her from us. I was lucky enough to see her at McCabe's in Santa Monica in the early 1980s, and lucky enough that she sang her all-time hit "Give Yourself to Love" and my fave, "The Trumpet Vine." Two warmer songs I never heard. When she passed, Garrison Keillor played her "Give Yourself to Love" and spoke a brief, moving tribute to her that left no eyes dry.
Her voice is so lovely, I felt so peaceful listening to this, but it's pretty sad Love her beautiful voice but have never heard about her What do you admire most about her?
I must be addicted to KATE'S music. .because I can't stop listening to it. Her voice is beautiful and her lyrics are mesmerizing. She is quite unique with her musical talents.
Don't understand how people with such talent don't get played on radio stations. Same applies to people like Suzanne Vega, Loudon Wainwright III , Sandy Denny, Kate Rusby, Kate and Anmna McGarrgle, Richard and Linda Thompson. The list goes on.
I think that's what makes it so memorable, I come back here again and again to hear it, as many say they do. The lyrics are simple yet connect so deeply. maybe the best love song ever written
First time I have heard this beautiful song with such a amazing singer and band. I lost my 21 yr old daughter 9 years ago . And this song reminds so much of her. We all find comfort and solace in certain songs. And this song is one of those that means so much too so many on many different levels. God bless you for bringing this song to the world.
I’m glad I stumbled onto this video. It’s the first I’ve heard of Kate Wolf and I can feel the U.S.A soul in her. Beautiful and calm. Just what we all need these days, it makes me want to visit 👏🏻👏🏻
Sad for me. I just discovered Kate Wolf today, and found out immediately that she is no longer with us. Same thing happened to last year with me with Eva Cassidy. Never knew about either of them, fell in love with their voices and arrangements and then ... gone! Weird. Thanks to Kennethrm3 for posting this!
A voice like Eva's comes along once a generation. Maybe. If w're lucky. The record industry completely missed the boat with Eva. She was not easily 'categorized' (too eclectic), so they never picked her up. Wht a goddamn shocking waste, no....?
7 years later. I discovered Kate Wolf too. Far, far to late. Beautifull!! We will remember her beautifull songs, performance because of TH-cam! Thanks!
I listening to this at least once a day.The voice is so memorable and her lirics so poetic.Such a beautiful clear voice, soothing the soul.I love these songs, and I love Kate...from Chicago, Illinois. Greetings.
Kate Wolf has been an enigma for me...everytime I find something I havent heard by her before it resonates for me in a way only one other artist ever has...I dont know how to give higher praise than that. Her music always touches me, nearly always moves me...another great loss of talent to the perils that life presents. Her appearance in my life at opportune moments speaks to a greater plan I dont understand or crazy happenstance. I have to wonder by what logic many others were allowed to live (myself included) and she was taken so early. Clearly a mystery and tragedy of chance or an act of a god I dont understand. But in spite of the confusion about her, I am absolutely soul bound to her music in a way that is in itself incomprehensible. And I will accept that and be grateful for it.
Watched this concert, with Nina Gerber, in stripes, riffing, on KERA Dallas. This was ‘82 or ‘83. I was in tears. I wrote her, and the return mail from her son, told me that she was very sick. Shortly after she died of leukemia, I believe. There will never be another lady story teller like her. Her ease of delivery makes her very credible. Requiescat In Pace, sweet soul.
Quelle douceur, quelle grâce, quelle âme délicieuse ! Cette voix si pure et sans effets, légèrement voilée, murmurée, presque rêvée me touche autant que celle d'Eva Cassidy. Découverte ce matin seulement grâce à vous, elle m'accompagnera désormais. Mille merci !
I found Kate Wolf through Nancy Griffith Videos and fell in love b/c my wife, Yvonne has Green Eyes and she said Everything I wanted to say. I have a Southern Rock Band ~ Southern Revolution Band; with my Son ~ Shane and my Daughter ~ Corina. I'm 67 yrs. old and I think Kate Wolf is 2nd to None in the Music Business~ God Bless Her! Wish I could of known her years ago ...
I'm walking the same path, watching small pieces of my wife's memories and cognitive abilities slip through our fingers. We listen to Kate and find solace there. Even as her beautiful eyes miss more and more.
@@cashopa Yes same here, and like the guy above, though I don't have so much time for it since having to busk 🎻 in Veliko Turnovo, 7-10 years ago, I have always loved those Irish trad. Jigs and reels. Hard to believe the years that have flown, and that she died so young, but anyway - we "met" at last thank TH-cam and it's Uploaders ! I hope One day sanity will return to this Earth, and give room for some Music !!
I heard this song and read Victors words and I shed tears My wife passed away in May.Kate has a beautiful voice and the words meant so much to me bringing back vivid memories.Thank you Kate and all the best to you Victor
Totally beautiful soulful voice projecting kindness and honesty. I play all tracks in my workshop all day and the place becomes quiet and work becomes a pleasure. RIP wonderful woman
She was such a beautiful person, I was so blessed to have known her, she never wanted to make it big, when she passed on I was in Alaska and friends sent me clips from the newspapers in San Francisco and Nevada City Calif. what a loss, she was a genuine angel on earth.
You were truly blessed So sorry for your loss But that’s how we often realize our blessings is through our losses God Bless you &!Kate & all those who love her music
❤ Every night we light the candle That stands beside our bed But sometimes the flame's too much to handle That's what you said That's what you said And you should know Because you built a fire in me and you made it burn You followed me watching every move Matching every turn Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing They hold me like the sun going down Warm me like a fire in the night Without a sound You were waiting till I heard Just as patient as that love light in your eyes You never threw away a word Or ever talked in a disguise I ought to know You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me So openly Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing They hold me like the sun going down Warm me like a fire in the night Without a sound The first time I ever saw your laughter Break loose inside and tumble out to me My heart knew it had found what it was after And it came so easily We should know After all the years of the hard and heavy times Now, our days go by like best friends' story lines Yours and mine Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing They hold me like the sun going down Warm me like a fire in the night Without a sound Without a sound
Thank you. I've found that: at about 0:56 is _You should know_ at about 1:16 is _Green eyes, they don't miss a thing_ at about 3:58 is _After all the years of the hard and lonely times_ Cheers.
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
I just love how peaceful her voice sounds So touching, and her voice is so lovely wow this is pretty sad But have never heard about her before, Who's she?
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
The Miss Grundy's who cannot stand her. She is sadly missed, but had a significant impact on music in her short life and was nominated to the Hall of Fame the year after she passed away from Leukemia in 1986. Those who attack her only reveal their own smallness and lack of character and accomplishments.
Lovely greeting from Finland. Just lately I found this beautiful singer and the song of Kate Wolf. Although I have travelled around the world and heard many many singers I never happened to hear her beautiful voice before. Best luck and God's blessing to Kate Wolf! further more!
I am so happy to find some live performances of Kate Wolf, I love the tone and easyness of her voice, and of course the lovely feeling she exudes, thanks so much for putting this up for people.

From Sweden God Night
me...
November ‘23. 37 years since Kate passed.
I did, several times, love that song
And me…….
I found Kate’s music as my wife’s memory started to fade. Each day as took care of my wife, Kate’s music helped me cope. Now that my sweet wife is gone Kate’s music helps me remember. And shed my tears. My wife’s name was Kay. To love and be love is everything.
Victor Vogelsang beautiful
Tis better to have loved and lost than never love at all. Hang in there Victor
Kate Wolf's music heals your soul.
How wonderful to honor your beloved Kay this way.

Your comment "not the first time on this planet" was interesting.
Thank you for sharing this! Precious memories!
Your words paint a wonderful picture, and insight into her life. Why are so many such as she taken so early? Thank you for your post on this site.
Kate's sweetness and soul transpires in her beautiful songs...
Yes
It is 2024 and I am here. It is lovely
So I know who I am and what itis
Ich höre es auch immer wieder gerne.❤😢
who are you
Green eyes ... belong to few nations. My green eyes drive me nuts as we are not good on strong winds. However, GOOD on other stuff which compensates.
So am I…
Writing from across the pond: France…
Kate Wolf had - in my opinion - the most soulful, soothing voice in this world.
Willy you are “bang on” , this song is what I will remember when sang me to sleep. Thanks 😊. I love Joan Baez , Simon &garfunkel , the eagles, in fact that I grew up in that generation of such a profusion of talent, I an 75 years old, ( God spares me a couple of months) it’s the music that can lift your stir it
The music gives you such a spiritual lift you feel that you can cope with anything.
Amen to that!! Outrageously beautiful

Did you care for her at UCSF in her final days back in 1986 Bryn?
Sounds like my story with my Joyce

Best 5 minutes 13 seconds ever spent. What a musician. Love this so much.
She's summat else beautiful!!
Love that song.
I agree.
Went through a double barrel wife loss, many years apart and many years ago. I learned. about loss and there's no easy way, but future awaits us. Grief & Splender for all of us that, want it to come.
More later.
RIP Kate, just 44 when she passed, I'd never heard one of your songs before yet I miss you after hearing just this one.
She doesn't look health here for her age.
my first time to know her music last night. i have luck.
Just discovered her now in 2020.....such a loss.
Ooh, I lived near her in Sonoma County and loved her then, and into now. I have her old albums and cherish them. She's always been an angel. She still makes me cry

Music has healed my soul many many times. How could I have never heard of Kate wolf! She doesn’t have glitz and fireworks. Her voice is the magic!
I concur
The best music I heard for many years
today it is my first time listening,and I lovew her

Por fin supe 😢el año en que nos dejó. Lamento no averla conocido antes. Desde el valle del Anáhuac México.
Too young to go x 😢
Amazed. At the younger generation that has just heard her for first time, and the ones that are singing her material. People still yearn for beautiful music like thist.
Who else has to cry while listening? Beautiful.
it came close

She always touches my heart

I love TH-cam. To find gems like these that I never heard before. Just incredible music.
Absolutely agree with you !!!
leeger777 no kidding I just found this. Then to find out she is gone. Example of parallel realities. She exists as if alive and well, perfect voice and evoking emotions....
It s true
Same here - my music base is endless now...all these wonderful artists who are not in the mainstream....and should be...XXOOXX
What a beautiful voice! She pours her soul in every tune... 💖So thankful for her timeless legacy. This world needs desperately more artists like her.
I agree, Claudia
Meine Frau hat mich auf sie aufmerksam gemacht. So eine wunderbare, warme Stimme. Es geht direkt ins Herz ❤
Nur schade, dass ich sie nicht schon vor Jahren gehört habe, soetwas lief leider nie im deutschen Radio.
Aber, das ist das gute und positive an der heutigen Zeit, ermöglicht das Netz einen solch phantastische Künstler auch besser spät, als nie, zu entdecken
I grew up in the 70s. I've only heard this song for the first time this year, in 2022. How is that possible? It's extraordinary.
Coucou mon chéri d amour 🧡
Me too, how have I never heard of this beautiful voice till now ❤
Such a beautiful voice
Rest in peace thank you for leaving us so much beautiful music
J'ai découvert Kate il y a quelques semaines sur TH-cam.. Depuis, je l'écoute tous les jours...
How is it that I've never heard of Kate Wolf? Clearly I've been missing out on an angel. What a beautiful voice!!! SUCH a pretty song.
Same thing happened to me last year. Just stumbled across this video while listening to other songs. I was blown away. Couldn't believe I'd never heard of her or this song. I probably listened to this song for several hours on repeat. The guitar is perfect and her voice is heavenly.
Glad I'm not the only one. Thrilled we found her Sam!@@samgunderson
There be truth in that, think she is from Woodstock era... try some song from that era, Joni Mitchell just maybe .
Me to, discovered her about 3 years ago. I listen to Kate when I'm working because I lose myself in her voice - angelic.
This is one of the most beautiful love songs ever.
It is so unbelievable great to hear with my 78 years such a great voice. Guess it's the best I've ever heard maybe in my whole life.
Green eyes is such a beautiful song and we had the privilege of hearing Kate singing it at our Folk Club In Cramlington.
Would love to have heard her in the flesh. A fellow Cramlingtonite
I just discovered her three weeks ago and I haven't stopped listening. So pure.
I just discovered Kate Wolf at 38. One of the most beautiful voices I have heard.
Wow. Where have I been? First time I've heard this lovely sweet voice. Passed at 44? My, what a tragedy. Thumbs down? Really. My God this world has become so damn cruel.
Some people just have no taste, that or a "tin ear". This song is a masterpiece.
Kate and her music were a gift to all of us.
never ever from me.........
never heard Kate before. What an amazing voice.
Ian Dickinson
Listen to her words. Listen to Nina Gerber.
Ian Dickinson not just a voice or performer but with the 'heart of a poet,' she writes the best lyrics.
Same here Ian. Dont know how she slipped past my "radar" And how about that singing harmony with that Bass player. I am really so taken with her performance. Beautiful lady too.OHHH I just saw in one of the comments she dies in 86. Terrible loss. I guess that explains a lot, huh?
Me neither. I think I must Lead a sheltered life. I will definitely look for more of her singing.
Je ne sais pas pourquoi je suis sous le choc d'une très grande émotion chaque fois que j'écoute cette chanson...
Moi je sais pourquoi mon chéri d amour
Je me sent le meme chose.
I heard of Kate wolf. This is the first time I am hearing her performance. I am sorry she passed away at age 44. I want to convey my condolences and express my heartfelt sympathy to her family, friends and relatives.
This lady could really sing. A massive talent. Such a shame we had to lose her so early. I miss her!!
Not only could her singing get a statue choked up, she definitely had a way with that guitar. Rest in Eternal Peace, sweet one.
This tune will follow me into eternity. What a songwriter, what a person. Many years after she left us she still is here. I do not believe in God, but let him/her watch over Kate’s soul.
On another Kate Wolfe rabbit hole after Nanci's passing. A number of years ago (thinking about it it's probably nearly 30!) I was at an Eric Bogle concert in London...and got him to sign the cover of Poets Heart (written about him by Kate). God she was so good
Just found her music this morning.... a lost treasure!
Aye every now and then
Welcome to the voice of an angel.
indeed just heard her everything about this song is awesome the music the voice the lyrics the style
u are so lucky i am so lucky too we need this calming voice to clam us through these fucken days hope u guys all here good and healthy from here in Syria with all pain but still we could enjoy beautiful songs
Me too
did you hear her start this song....that perfect tone, perfect voice....she got me on the first word
Andrew Prokopis happened to me exactly the same way. Never heard of her before, I’m now hooked on all her songs, finding new ones every time I go digging, wonderful stuff.
@@philgillmartin5053 She had me at the first note she played on the Guitar
nice voice and harmony - either it's very fine production quality or those are some fine guitars too, very nice tone. glad to find this.
@@philgillmartin5053 Me too!
i felt just the same
C'est au hasard que j'ai découvert cette merveilleuse artiste, depuis je ne cesse d'écouter ses nombreux titres. C'est juste magnifique, quel talent, quel artiste cette voix m'envoute. Vous êtes partie trop tôt Kate mais votre musique restera éternelle. 🙏
Je suis d' accord. Dans quel pays habitez-vous?
@@kenwodlinger4220 Bonjour,
J'habite en France en Bourgogne dans le département de la Saône et Loire.
@@rogerchetail398 - that's a truly beautiful part of France - and what you wrote is also beautiful.
Have you ever listened to the wonderful music of the late British folk singer, Sandy Denny?
@@suzannelawson9215
I didn't know I went to listen to a few titles, her voice is a little higher than Kate Wolf's, she reminds me a bit of Joan Baez.
It is true that in France we are far from familiar with the American folk repertoire of yesterday and today, which must be very rich.
It's a great discovery!!! THANKS !! 🙏
I agree with everyone's comments about Kate but just want to put in a word for that guy's beautiful harmonies...
Ford James...
@@nighthawk77 Thanks Nighthawk
10 years this has been posted..how many times has it haunted me...how many times have I returned to listen...
This song is so beautiful I can't stand it. It hurts.
I can't listen without tears, why? it just touches me deep. Beautiful.
par hasard j'ai découvert cette chanteuse , hélas disparue depuis longtemps, on se laisse bercer par sa voix , sa musique , ses mélodies, du bonheur!
Love Kate's voice and "Green Eyes".
Wife passed away almost 15 years ago. Regret not knowing of Kate then. Beautiful voice.
Like Garrison Keillor once said about her: "Ah, that voice." She was a wonderful and gifted performer. Rest in Peace, Kate.
I am just discovering this angel who was taken way too soon. The words are piercing. Thank you Kate for this gift you left for us.
Ive just discovered her now. Similar to joan Baez
This has really touched me Victor. I just lost my Mom, I was holding her hand as I saw her take her last breath. It was the greatest honor I've ever felt in my life. I hope the year has been kind to you in your grieving process as I hope mine will be as my year has just begun.
As I play this song over again here's to you Kay and Jackie. You are still deeply loved.
One day you will meet again. 💖
I listen to this over and over again her voice so beautiful.....
I do so !
Never heard of this beautiful lady before, sadness, beauty, prayer to her! Thank for your beautiful songs🥰
She died of cancer. Her children have brought her music back.
She passed mamy years ago from a system failure WHAT AN INCREDIBLE LOSS!!
Bella, muy bella canción, amo esto🌷🙏🏼❤
I know right. I'm 50, and I've never heard this song before finding it on YT this year. How is that possible? It's so beautiful.
Which lady?
Kate, wherever you are now I just wanted to tell you, your angelic voice is like a warm blanket that comforts me....
Her music is deep meaningful, sorry not English speaking but want to say she is wonderful
Tres Bien!🇲🇫
Dale yes her music is very pretty
@@anneoboyle8447 wonderfully French, Anne, At a recent music meeting a friend friend sing this in French...It was amazing
Message recieved.
You say everything, my friend.
What a beautiful wonderful soul this girl had...life just ain't fare....she should still be here writing more
of these Fantastic pieces!
Great singing. I also Like Émy Lou Harrison.
Emmy Lou Harris
No idea that she ever lived. Just heard her just now for the first time. She‘s so impressive... The good always go too young. But a part of her is still here. With us. Thanks for being with us.
Probably Kate was just keeping on...
She had cancer and continued to perform till her end.
What a true performer. 💪
this kind of warm voice will soothe many hearts
Kates voice, is ethereal, haunting, and this beautiful ballad, is really her song. It just re-enforces the saying that it’s beautiful music makes the human spirit soar forever upwards.
❤❤❤❤
This album was recorded live at Austin City Limits in 1985, at the peak of Kate's career, not long before she was diagnosed with the leukemia that took her from us. I was lucky enough to see her at McCabe's in Santa Monica in the early 1980s, and lucky enough that she sang her all-time hit "Give Yourself to Love" and my fave, "The Trumpet Vine." Two warmer songs I never heard. When she passed, Garrison Keillor played her "Give Yourself to Love" and spoke a brief, moving tribute to her that left no eyes dry.
Her voice is so lovely, I felt so peaceful listening to this, but it's pretty sad
Love her beautiful voice but have never heard about her
What do you admire most about her?
I must be addicted to KATE'S music. .because I can't stop listening to it. Her voice is beautiful and her lyrics are mesmerizing. She is quite unique with her musical talents.
Yes , so it is !
Everything about the Late Ms. Wolf was beautiful and perfect. Like Eva Cassidy , Amy Winehouse and Karen Carpenter she never gets old.
Gorgeous harmony between these two, thank you for posting this great music.
Don't understand how people with such talent don't get played on radio stations. Same applies to people like Suzanne Vega, Loudon Wainwright III , Sandy Denny, Kate Rusby, Kate and Anmna McGarrgle, Richard and Linda Thompson. The list goes on.
this isn't just a music, this is dreaming, living, hoping, feeling....and, and, and.....
This is almost too emotionally pure and open to handle.
I think that's what makes it so memorable, I come back here again and again to hear it, as many say they do. The lyrics are simple yet connect so deeply. maybe the best love song ever written
First time I have heard this beautiful song with such a amazing singer and band. I lost my 21 yr old daughter 9 years ago . And this song reminds so much of her. We all find comfort and solace in certain songs. And this song is one of those that means so much too so many on many different levels.
God bless you for bringing this song to the world.
I’m glad I stumbled onto this video. It’s the first I’ve heard of Kate Wolf and I can feel the U.S.A soul in her.
Beautiful and calm.
Just what we all need these days, it makes me want to visit 👏🏻👏🏻
Look!!!!!
The good old days!
No mobile phones up in the air recording, but every one watching, enjoying the concert!
And no hollorin' and idiots screaming just to be heard..
Amen to that- -simple and pure🙏
Kate was versatile, deep feeling and unique. Touched many hearts through her songs, music and voice . Gifted.
A great singer appears to effortlessly achieve perfection. Kate certainly had this gift. RIP
My very first time to hear of her only to find out that she's gone. A beautiful discovery. Rest in peace Kate.
Sad for me. I just discovered Kate Wolf today, and found out immediately that she is no longer with us. Same thing happened to last year with me with Eva Cassidy. Never knew about either of them, fell in love with their voices and arrangements and then ... gone! Weird. Thanks to Kennethrm3 for posting this!
A voice like Eva's comes along once a generation. Maybe. If w're lucky. The record industry completely missed the boat with Eva. She was not easily 'categorized' (too eclectic), so they never picked her up. Wht a goddamn shocking waste, no....?
Same here, and we aren't the only ones. Odd that.
That's what happened to me today. Sad and beautiful. I needed this, though.
Same here. So sad.
7 years later. I discovered Kate Wolf too. Far, far to late. Beautifull!! We will remember her beautifull songs, performance because of TH-cam! Thanks!
I listening to this at least once a day.The voice is so memorable and her lirics so poetic.Such a beautiful clear voice, soothing the soul.I love these songs, and I love Kate...from Chicago, Illinois. Greetings.
I have only discovered this gem now. Absolutely love her music and I was saddened when I learned she had died so young.
A beautiful song. Crystal clear voice, terrific melody and chords sequence, velvet harmony, profound lyrics, resulting in magical piece of music.
Kate Wolf has been an enigma for me...everytime I find something I havent heard by her before it resonates for me in a way only one other artist ever has...I dont know how to give higher praise than that. Her music always touches me, nearly always moves me...another great loss of talent to the perils that life presents. Her appearance in my life at opportune moments speaks to a greater plan I dont understand or crazy happenstance. I have to wonder by what logic many others were allowed to live (myself included) and she was taken so early. Clearly a mystery and tragedy of chance or an act of a god I dont understand. But in spite of the confusion about her, I am absolutely soul bound to her music in a way that is in itself incomprehensible. And I will accept that and be grateful for it.
Like they say,"The good they die young". Maybe some day we will know why, but it won't be on this earth.
That was beautifully written
So well said
Watched this concert, with Nina Gerber, in stripes, riffing, on KERA Dallas. This was ‘82 or ‘83. I was in tears. I wrote her, and the return mail from her son, told me that she was very sick. Shortly after she died of leukemia, I believe. There will never be another lady story teller like her. Her ease of delivery makes her very credible. Requiescat In Pace, sweet soul.
Actually this was 1986.
The most beautiful voice. -eternal peace Kate Wolf
Quelle douceur, quelle grâce, quelle âme délicieuse ! Cette voix si pure et sans effets, légèrement voilée, murmurée, presque rêvée me touche autant que celle d'Eva Cassidy. Découverte ce matin seulement grâce à vous, elle m'accompagnera désormais. Mille merci !
I found Kate Wolf through Nancy Griffith Videos and fell in love b/c my wife, Yvonne has Green Eyes and she said Everything I wanted to say. I have a Southern Rock Band ~ Southern Revolution Band; with my Son ~ Shane and my Daughter ~ Corina. I'm 67 yrs. old and I think Kate Wolf is 2nd to None in the Music Business~ God Bless Her! Wish I could of known her years ago ...
I'm walking the same path, watching small pieces of my wife's memories and cognitive abilities slip through our fingers. We listen to Kate and find solace there. Even as her beautiful eyes miss more and more.
My heart goes to you- both.
I feel your love and devotion and it moves me to tears.
I have a brain injury, early dementia may be my fate.
So sorry. God bless her and you.
Ya gotta wonder how radio can even exist, when you have to go to YT for real music.
The world lost a truly beautiful singer and person. Her voice makes my heart ache.
How did I miss this wonderful voice over the years? Glad I lived long enough to finally find it. In so many voices, some are uniquely special.
That makes about 4 of us and I've been here only 5 minutes. Very odd !
@@gerardvaughan1847 Count me in today. Funny how that happens. How happy to have run across this lovely lady singing this sweet song.
@@cashopa
Yes same here, and like the guy above, though I don't have so much time for it since having to busk 🎻 in Veliko Turnovo, 7-10 years ago, I have always loved those Irish trad. Jigs and reels. Hard to believe the years that have flown, and that she died so young, but anyway - we "met" at last thank TH-cam and it's Uploaders !
I hope One day sanity will return to this Earth, and give room for some Music !!
I heard this song and read Victors words and I shed tears My wife passed away in May.Kate has a beautiful voice and the words meant so much to me bringing back vivid memories.Thank you Kate and all the best to you Victor
I'm very sorry for your sadness.
Totally beautiful soulful voice projecting kindness and honesty. I play all tracks in my workshop all day and the place becomes quiet and work becomes a pleasure. RIP wonderful woman
She was such a beautiful person, I was so blessed to have known her, she never wanted to make it big, when she passed on I was in Alaska and friends sent me clips from the newspapers in San Francisco and Nevada City Calif. what a loss, she was a genuine angel on earth.
I've never heard of her till right now! Makes it much more special to me honestly. I will treasure this moment always.
Who is the guitarist singing with her in this song?
@@marilynmacdoald3944 Ford James is the bass player singing some of the chorus with Kate
Joni estoy contigo Kate es un angel un regalo para disfrute de nuestro planeta Tierra. Un saludo sesde España en Granada Cherin La Alpujarra.
You were truly blessed So sorry for your loss But that’s how we often realize our blessings is through our losses God Bless you &!Kate & all those who love her music
What a beautiful song, beautiful music, beautiful words, beautiful woman.
My husband and I have always loved her music. Gone way too soon. We used to say she and John Denver would have been so good together.
❤
Every night we light the candle
That stands beside our bed
But sometimes the flame's too much to handle
That's what you said
That's what you said
And you should know
Because you built a fire in me and you made it burn
You followed me watching every move
Matching every turn
Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing
They hold me like the sun going down
Warm me like a fire in the night
Without a sound
You were waiting till I heard
Just as patient as that love light in your eyes
You never threw away a word
Or ever talked in a disguise
I ought to know
You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea
I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me
So openly
Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing
They hold me like the sun going down
Warm me like a fire in the night
Without a sound
The first time I ever saw your laughter
Break loose inside and tumble out to me
My heart knew it had found what it was after
And it came so easily
We should know
After all the years of the hard and heavy times
Now, our days go by like best friends' story lines
Yours and mine
Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing
They hold me like the sun going down
Warm me like a fire in the night
Without a sound
Without a sound
Thank you.
I've found that:
at about 0:56 is _You should know_
at about 1:16 is _Green eyes, they don't miss a thing_
at about 3:58 is _After all the years of the hard and lonely times_
Cheers.
why people like kate had to go so soon...? Just look at her face into her eyes while listen to her outstanding singing.. can't hold my tears
Reiffan, me ocurrio lo mismo...no pude contener las lagrimas, que tristeza su partida, y apenas hoy se de ella, gracias Kate......
the good die young
I just heard this for the first time. It made me hella cry. Im glad its not just me.
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Only just found Kate recently, what a voice. Why do the good ones get taken early, it’s not right. She’s in my top 3. RIP lovely lady. X
One of the most beautiful live performances of a beautiful song by a beautiful lady taken too soon.
She is new to me. Her voice captivates the sad times in life. For those of us who know the pain loss brings.
I just love how peaceful her voice sounds
So touching, and her voice is so lovely wow this is pretty sad
But have never heard about her before,
Who's she?
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
How the hell can anybody give this a thumbs down. Unbelievable, shame on you 🙁
They who dislike this beautiful piece of work must be Orcs,or some sort of nasty piece of work.
The Miss Grundy's who cannot stand her. She is sadly missed, but had a significant impact on music in her short life and was nominated to the Hall of Fame the year after she passed away from Leukemia in 1986. Those who attack her only reveal their own smallness and lack of character and accomplishments.
Truly freaky that such creatures could walk amongst us. USA !
How come it still says 2 replies. Now there's 4 !
Same people that would give a thumbs down to a free meal.
I have never heard of this lady before, this song is sheer beauty, it is a bright shining diamond of a song, what a voice it is stunning
L'écouter à chaque fois et un saut au paradis.sublime voix et quel talent!
Voix de velours, murmurée, jeux de guitare dépouillés, un régal. Merci merci les artistes.
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Beautifully performed. She was taken from us far too soon.
Oh, how beautiful. And what a haunting voice, bravo Kate.
💯🎼🎵
@@Leifkarlssonbrastaleif I come back to this performance time and again, just love it so.
Lovely greeting from Finland. Just lately I found this beautiful singer and the song of Kate Wolf. Although I have travelled around the world and heard many many singers I never happened to hear her beautiful voice before. Best luck and God's blessing to Kate Wolf! further more!
Everything about this song is perfect! This is such a gem thank you so much Kate
I am so happy to find some live performances of Kate Wolf, I love the tone and easyness of her voice, and of course the lovely feeling she exudes, thanks so much for putting this up for people.
