One of the finest live performances of all time by one of the greatest vocalists of all time. Only Al Jarreau compares.

In the early 80’s my wife and I were trapped in a huge rainstorm in Northampton…we run over to a little cafe and there he was…. We sat and listened to this man with the magical voice. It was the best concert I ever attended…RIP

When I need solace, I listen to this version of Mr. Rankin's grear song. It is, for me, the most important thing I've ever found on KZread- it heals my spirit and soul. Mr. D'Grass Cruz: I am so grateful that you posted this recording, and I can't thank you enough. God bless you, your family, and friends... now, and in all the days to come.

Beautiful. Kenny, his voice, guitar, place, time.

Kenny was one of my mother favorite artists in the 70’s. I went to see him with her twice and also fell in love with his beautiful voice and guitar playing. A special talent - gone way too soon. ❤️

Now this is a musical artist. His voice is as much an instrument as his guitar, and they play in perfect harmony.

I am grateful to be able to view such valuable footage from the past. I saw his live performance and was very impressed. He passed away too soon, but I'm lucky to have all of his albums.

If only I could find that bliss again. If I do this song will come back to me.

Actually. That's more than in my grasp. I just have to let go.

Kenny made the classical nylon string acoustic guitar cool. NO ONE could sing like him either. Maybe we could say Dan Fogelberg came pretty close….

Thanks, that reminds me, I've been meaning to play DF's," Heart Hotel",it's gone off my playlist.

I enjoyed seeing Kenny open for George Carlin several times in the early '70's. Beautiful memories & wonderful opening act!

Hello Andrea

Beautiful, n peaceful. Lord take care of you all n the world..love you.

I saw him in this very small and quaint little pub in Piermont, Ny and it was just like this. He was talking to everyone and wanted to know what we wanted to hear. What a wonderful man he was!!

What an artist. The voice is so naturally beautiful, and he has absolute control of it. Such musicality in his playing as well. You sure were a great one, Kenny!

Amazing how beautiful music just poured out of this guy

I think Kenny Rankin might be my favorite singer.

I first discovered Kenny Rankin when he released “Silver Morning” “Haven’t We Met?” Absolutely blew my mind, and all of the other great cuts off that album. Of course “Inside” followed that release with all those other great cuts like “Creepin” and “Sunday kind of love” I also loved his later work from the Great American Songbook Music like “ You’d be so nice to come home to” Kenny is legendary and sorely missed.

Botn in 1970, this man has filled my soul with peace and love through his beautiful velvet voice. A very moving musician that I have now brought my daughter up on. To see my sixteen year old daughter sing with me brings me feelings of deep love. Thank you Kenny, you are loved and missed by so many.

Still amazing 2024

His voice always puts me in a beautiful head space and I feel warm, loving and peaceful.

Rankin always makes me cry. Lord, wish he were still with us, but RIP, dear Kenny.

Me too. Such a beautiful and gifted musician.

What an awesome song...

Storytelling vocal artistry of marvelous excellence.

Great singer I love him so much

Now that’s what I call talent! If only I could sing and play guitar like that. Beautiful, on so many levels.

What a find. Thank you for posting. I've been following Kenny's career since "Like a Seed" in the early '70's and always loved his voice and songwriting. The voice of an angel---more fluid with impeccable phrasing than anyone.

Love this song, calms the mind

This has become my favorite find on YT ever...could easily be Kenny performing in Heaven today...

Great vocal. And a pretty fine guitarist, too. Similar to Nick Drake, in my ear.

Glad to hear this song 🎵 ❤❤❤brings joy nd calmness its msg

Massive love!

Nice find my man!

Wow.

Mr Rankin ,no more hiding himself 😀 bcoz he is so peaceful now to his newfound 🏡

Voices by Homeboy Sandman brought me here... ❤️

wow 1967

Tried to like it twice

wonderful

I thought this was a Helen Reddy 🎵 song . I guess Rankin wrote it himself .

Can u find K.Rankin singing pussywillow cattail..pls.hoping for that video for along time..thanks

To all you young and uninitiated people, this is what is called "talent". Let's see Taylor Swift match this.

No one like him at all....

Helen Reddy does it better but this guy is very talented. But Helen has a voice that is heard from the heavens
