For me Vicky Carr is the only singer that can give justice to this song...this is her signature song....shes great.

Vikki is one of the most underrated lady vocalists in the last 60 years. Powerful voice, nearly perfect pitch, and very expressive. This is a gem of a performance! Thanks for sharing this.

@@white1sox1 In today's world? You'd better believe she's underrated. In fact she's all but forgotten by the masses. While I agree that Vikki was a huge star in her day I'd bet that if you asked 100 people under the age of 30 who Vikki Carr is you'd get 100 blank stares. Therefore underrated and under appreciated.

What a powerful song! Vicky is magical. She conveys so much emotion! WOW!

When it comes to such great old music. Thank goodness for the internet.

Her song might bring tears to my eyes, but I feel good when I listen to that song. She sang it with complete gusto. I felt like Vikki Carr put a lot of feeling into her song. The song is worth listening to. Her song on the Ed Sullivan show was played 3 days before I was born. I was born on January 3, 1968. I could feel the sensuality out of her mouth when she sings that song. It's her song I can't ignore.

What an awesome gut wrenching performance!! Song still hits home and pulls at my heart strings even after all these years, but it also reminds me I did make it, I picked the pieces off the floor, I put my heart on the shelf again. You really can survive a broken heart. You never forget, but you learn to live with it.

Vikki is amazing! She's just 27 years old here with perfect power, pitch, control, and beauty!! And she's not afraid to tell the world how much she loves her man. BRAVO!

There has never been anybody who could sing this song as well as Vikki and for sure there will never be anybody who can sing it better than her. This is truly her song. The reason that this is such a great song is because of the incredible energy and passion that she sang this song with. She sang this song like her life depended on it. She was not only incredibly talented but also beautiful. Only someone very special could inspire such a song about them. Most of us can only dream about someday having somebody who loves us in such an unconditional manner.

Having a major nostalgic moment are we? I was about 8 when this song came out, but the lyrics are melodramatic nonsense but sung by an excellent singer. The Carpenters came out a few years later and did much better...then Whitney in the 80s, Mariah in the 90s. The list of amazing singers is long.

the strength of her voice reminds me of Shirley Bassey...two legends on our time. Awesome performance...one of my favorite songs

A beautiful woman with an outstanding voice and knockout natural vocal style.

Ms. Carr was a cryer . I was always entranced by her expression of sincere emotion . She and Judy Garland were so similar as vocalist. Both had indefinable talent .

A true lady of the song and the scene in the United States and Latin America. Possessing a prodigious voice, although she began her career singing in English in the 60's, in the 70's she returned to her origins (she is of Mexican descent, as she is still alive) and began recording in Spanish both alone and with emerging and established stars such as Julio Iglesias, Ana Gabriel or Danny Rivera, helping to cement the growing musical presence of Latin artists or artists of Latin origin on the stages of the United States.

Eydie Gorme, of Sephardic Jewish ancestry is still a much loved singer in Spanish.

I almost forgot what a great singer she is. She also released several albums in Spanish that were really great. She was really popular in the 60’s and 70’s. I believe she is considered one of the most successful Latin artists of that time period.

My parents would play this on the stereo and dance in the living room. I always loved this song, but to be honest after seeing her on TV I had a huge crush on her.

The musical tune for this song is so pleasant.

One of the greatest vocal performances in modern pop music. I can’t even imagine how difficult this song must be to sing, and yet she belts it out without even breaking a sweat.

Oh well, life before answering machines and cell phones. My mom used to do the funniest "take" on this song - it kept me in stitches as a young kid. Mom is now 86, and in dementia - I so I enjoy the memories. P.S. Vikki Carr was (and still is) wonderful.

Oh my! Vikki's live performance is better than the studio version. Vikki's got the pipes and the phrasing is perfection! 🤩

Since I first saw her on Ed Sullivan all those years ago, I’ve thought she was a gorgeous woman with a gorgeous voice!

Watched the movie "Moonstruck" several times just to hear this song

I grew up in the 60s watching her sing this song on The Ed Sullivan Show. But what I only found out about 5 years ago, is that she was full-blooded Mexican, born and raised in El Paso. She spoke Spanish and had many Spanish-only albums. Of course, back then she had to assume the name Vikki Carr, changing it from Florencia Bisenta de Casillas-Martinez Cardona. She wouldn't have been as easily accepted back then had she used her real name. One of the best pop female singers of all time.

What an emotional performance. I'm a 67yr old chap with a tear in my eye. ❤

I was at this show at the Ed Ullivan Theater. I was allowed to spend the entire week watching rehearsals and the final showing Sunday afternoon. The primary performers that week was Steve Lawrence and Eedie Gorme. On that show were (my favorite) The Lenin Sisters, the cast of the play "Hair", and an act that I thought would never make it. They were The Muppets. My 2 friends and I were the only people in the Theater during the entire week of rehearsals. Edie Gorme yelled at me for whispering during her rehearsal of the song LOVE. Memories.

The use of her performance of this song in the movie Moonstuck is iconic!

Glad to see it! Ed mentioned this performance when introducing "With Pen in Hand" a few weeks ago. Ed also said it was written by Gilbert Bécaud. Originally, it was "Seul Sur Son Étoile" (Alone on your Star) with French lyrics by Maurice Vidalin. The English lyrics are by Mack David who was the brother of Hal David of Bacharach/David fame. Most famously, Mack also did the English lyrics for Piaf's "La Vie En Rose" and was much praised for that effort.

I really like this performance and I always liked Vikki Carr. In any case I see that she was not given very much of a stage set and decor--no large decorative curtains, no floodlights, and no small circular type stage. . In the same era, 1967-68, watch Petula Clark and Lana Cantrell performances on the Ed Sullivan Show and you'll see the difference. I like Petula Clark and Lana Cantrell just as much as Vikki Carr. I just feel that Vikki Carr should have gotten a better deal.

To everyone in the comments section of this video, I just watched Lana Cantrell sing 'Yesterday When I Was Young.' which she performed on the Ed Sullivan Show back in October 1969. Her singing performance really stunk. I remember seeing her on Ed Sullivan back in '69 and remember thinking how lousy she was. I said I liked Lana Cantrell--well no more. In any case , Vikki Carr continues to be lovely.

Impressive. Was a hit for Vikki in 1967. Originally by Gilbert Becaud.

Beyond "iconic", beyond "signature". I recall at that time, many others tried singing this song, but nobody came close to Vikki Carr. Further, although she sang some other songs, no other came close to being her greatest hit.
