Wow what a fab time for music esp of late with 3 female singers coming on the scene big time tori holub, sydnie christmas, lucy thomas, 3 voices to die for the future very bright .👍

This is real music. You hear her beautiful voice above the instrumentation. It is absolutely so needed in this world today. She is a rare talent.

Hi He He, yes originally the English version of the song was going to be given to Elvis but the writer, Sid Wayne decided to give it to Perry Como instead. Tori did an amazing job on this 🤩

Tori is simply amazing. She has a beautiful natural voice and I have heard that she is self taught in the finer points of singing. Thanks!

That is amazing, Spencer. She is a natural talent then 🥰

Thankyou for your kind words here Sue. The reason I suggested to Tori that we do this song is because I'd seen the clip of when the Carpenters appeared on the Perry Como show and Karen sang one verse of this song in a medley they did together. It was so gorgeous I wished that Karen had recorded the full song. So I took a chance and sent Tori my piano track which I played in the key Karen had sung it in. I didn't even know if Tori knew the song. Well imagine my delight when she told me it was one of her favourite songs but hadn't done it yet as she couldn't find a backing track in the right key. Well, as you see the rest is history. I truly believe that on this song Tori completed the great job that Karen started all those years ago.

Hi Dan, thank you so much for responding to me. I love the story as to how you two came to doing this song. Your hunch paid off because Tori slayed the vocals on this song. Your backing vocals and harmonies were fantastic, Dan. You and Tori sounded great together. I am honoured you took the time to reach out. I look forward to hearing more of your collaborations 🥰💗

Thank you, Sue, for this memorable rendition of this American classic! Shout out to Dan for the backup vocals. Their voices blend so nicely together!

I am so glad you enjoyed, Tori. She is amazing.Thanks so much Deborah 🤩

I loved this song when it was release by Perry - watched the Perry Como Show toward the end of it's run in 1963. Tori's cover is mesmerizing, she has such a gentle and calming tone. Yes, I did checkout ALL her content on her channel - nice for something new! Hope she keeps it coming... BTW Lucy Thomas is also 20 and is from England; recently had her 1st live stage concert in Manchester her setlist had 17 songs including At Last, Somewhere (from West Side Story), The Prayer, A Thousand Years, Evergreen (from A Star is Born), Hallelujah and many more. Not all are available on YT so far I found Hallelujah, Somewhere, At Last and We can Change the World.

That is cool, David. I haven't heard his version but great that he got back to it since it was almost given to him originally 🥰

Now that's just beautiful Sue, It took me back to my parents love of this kind of music, in fact I think somewhere I have their Perry Como album with this on it. I loved this.. :)

Hey Kim, I love that you still have your parents' albums. I think that is great...cherish them always 🥰

Brilliant reaction once again Sue and anyone who thinks the world is a big place, then this trans Atlantic collaboration will dispel this immediately. You got on to this very quickly as this has just been dropped so kudos to you as long gone are the days of recording contracts such as Richard and Karen were able to launch in their meteoric rise to stardom, and sales of LP albums and CDs are a thing of the past, along with listening to the radio to hear the next wave of rising artists. So it would seem that reviewers such as you will be fulfilling this new and increasing role of highlighting the new and talented artists such as Tori, to a new and burgeoning audience, so thanks once again.

Hi Graeme, thanks so very much. Yes I heard it dropped today by Joe so I got on it. I thought it was great. Tori is so special. I look forward to hearing more of her stuff. I hope all is well with you in New Zealand 🥰💙

Tori Fantastic as usual but this is just too Easy Listening for me Although i appreciate the skill of the craft of composition and Tori and Dans interpretation , I really would love to hear Tori take on something more contemporary . Crazy as it may sound Ive been think about what ii would like to hear her sing and i keep coming back to The Pretenders

Wow Sue! That was so fast! Thank you and ye who had doubt. LOL You almost forgot, it was Tori! 🤷🏻‍♂️ But then you heard her first notes and all was well in the world, again. I love this one. Dan is a friend and I’m dropping the reaction in his messenger also. He’ll wake up and have a surprise. He’s in the U.K. I asked for a couple more but Sue you played it so fast! 🙏 Now, remember my little question from earlier. Refresh your memory and drop me a comment later. Be well and there’s more coming down the turnpike! Joe

Hey Joe, so glad you enjoyed it. It was fantastic. Tori hit a home run again with that one....great version. I didn't see what you were talking about exactly but there seemed to be a cut out of someone on the side so I am wondering if it was a cut out of Karen....perhaps? 🤩💚

@@playitagainsue probably a Richard cut out. He appeared in We’ve Only Just Begun. One of 3 Easter eggs in that song. The drums and her “good ole’ Tascam 24, were the other two. RC was looking over her shoulder. 🙏 In this one it’s much MORE obvious. But the Carpenters Connection isn’t as obvious.

The current model of mic Karen used at A&M. ❤ There was another a U45 I think but the 87 was her mic of choice. Listen again knowing that, you can hear the spaciousness clarity oh my.
