I wanted to play this song for my mother when she died after 8 years of Alzheimer's disease because when I was young we watched Bagdad Cafe many times together and we used to listen to this soundtrack frequently, on cassette, in the car when we used to often drive in the countryside of rural New South Wales, Australia together. It was a very bonding era for us after leaving our life and dear family friends and my older sisters in the big city of Brisbane, 12 hours drive away. But when my mother died her partner hijacked her death and funeral and I wasn't welcome to contribute to her funeral as I wanted to, so I didn't end up being able to play this song, (or any other) for her funeral. That was in 2018, and all these years later when I occasionally play this song it still cuts deep but also soothes me and reminds me of a time in my life when my mother and I were extremely close. Amazing song and singer. Nobody can sing this like Jevetta. Much love to you all who hold this song dear, and the movie as well. Helen Watt x *Third and youngest daughter of Jane Elizabeth Watt nee Dolton. R.I.P.

Esa voz desgarrada y el sentimiento con el que la artista interpreta,, llegan a lo más profundo del alma .

this song represents all the good things about the marriage of my mom and dad. I was still a baby, they were shaken by the unfulfilled promises of perestroika, but still very young, my dad worked as a front desk clerk at a hotel and I *think* he got that vcr by stealing it from work, somehow dug up a copy of Baghdad Cafe same way he dug up a lot of other leftfield euro flicks, they watched that movie A LOT, movies like this are the way to mom's heart. marriage fell apart because of dad's fear of responsibilities, mom took off for US and took me with her, dad passed away a bitter man from cancer, mom still looking for comfort in this country 16 years on. life goes on, song remains very important to me. damn, I feel dizzy from typing all this out.

Jevetta is such an amazing singer. But, if it wasn't for Baghdad Cafe and me being so moved by this song she sang that I looked it up,, I never would have known who she was. I came here tonight because I just saw a 1994 movie: "Corrina Corrina" on TV and, Jevetta was actually IN that movie singing. She did "Over the Rainbow" and a few other songs in the movie which showcased her amazing voice to me once again. Truly a gifted singer. I wish she was more well know because that gift would have been able to bless so many others so, thanks for putting this video up JessieMelodyWorld K. P.S. Just did some research and, apparently there are many circles where Jevetta is well know like theatre circles and, she's worked with many artists like Prince, Mavis Staples among others,, released an album in 2006 so, I was glad to read that.

Just Perfect, no words.........

I love this song sooooo much! I haven’t heard it in years then it was covered on American Horror Story. Gives me chills and all the feels!

me encanta esta cancion, la melodia y lo hermoso que canta jevetta steel, tiene una voz increible, profunda, fuerte. en cambio escuche la version de dorota de polonia, si bien es delicada y sera buena para muchos,pero no me gustó, es un tanto aguda. gracias por publicar esta cancion de esta maravillosa cantante. :)

This song is priceless, I've not heard it in Donkeys years until Patti Laplunne ? Sorry if I've spelled her name wrong ,sang it on Ryan Murphy's Season 11 on AHS , gotta hand it to them,evert season , The Choreography and musical direction is incredible .But I agree,no one performed this as beautiful as Jevetta S x

This is so amazing. Great song. I love Dorota's version too.. they are both amazing. For me, they have completely different feels though, so it is hard to compare. Jevetta's voice is so haunting and beautiful and I feel power- a strong moving force, whereas Dorota's voice is more angelic, holds a sad tone, and almost transcends us out of this world.

Her version always gives me goosebumps. So intense and beautiful...

I have been trying to think of the name of this movie for years. That song has echoed in my head for so long. Two days ago l saw a clip of the movie on KZread. It was a wonderful feeling to hear it again and find out it was showing on Tubi 🤗🤗
