If this woman didn't take you on her journey you missed out. What EMOTION, HEART, SOUL. Every time she sings I'm reminded why I loved her for over 60 years. One of the GREATEST singers of all time!!

I remember seeing her in concert in Toronto, years ago. Such an incredible voice. Some of her songs had me in tears.

67 year old man here hearing this for the first time ever..and reduced to tears

First time I ever heard the song is right now. Yup, I’m crying, too. I’m divorced to boot, ha-ha. What makes it worse is that the person in this song has lost custody of her daughter! More tears! I didn’t face losing custody since my sons were adults, but wow, this song caused some waterworks!😊

I’m 75 and I sure do miss this kind of singing, A true beautiful artist and a fantastic voice.

Vikki Carr wasn't only singing this song, she was living it too!

She doesn't sing a song, she interprets it! Wonderful, and an exceptional artist...

She LIVES in every song she sings . NEVER disappoints.

Beautiful lady, beautiful singer and a beautiful song. Music doesn't come much better than this. Today's music can't hold a candle to this.

One of my favorite performances of anyone is when she sang See the tree, how big it’s grown. She really interpreted the emotion in the songs she sang.

WHAT a voice! WHAT an incredible style! In a word, Ms Carr is FABULOUS ❗❗❗

Every time I hear this song with this beautiful lady, I get goosebumps. What a privileged voice. ❤

She had just recorded this live at the Persian Room in NYC. Earlier she recorded a studio version which came nowhere near as this to conveying the emotion the song deserves. I've heard her sing this in concert at least a dozen times. Each time she brings the same emotion, the same tears. This is a talent you just cannot teach.

Fine and emotional performance. And the piano and orchestra sound fantastic.

All I could say is wow. What a woman.

Never ever tired of her music and voice. Truly a class act!

"With Pen in Hand" was one of Vikki's biggest hits. She gave a very moving performance on this episode. As mentioned by another commenter, it was written by Bobby Goldsboro and the single charted at 35 on the Billboard Hot 100, 6 on the Adult Contemporary chart and 39 on the UK Singles chart.

In 1970, I was so infatuated with this Lady...I cried with this song, I so wanted to console her. I wanted to love her and make it all better.Vicki Carr made me understand that I hadfeelings, that I could love!

Older millennial I am but Vikki Carr has been part of my life from the beginning. My parents loved her. She held concerts to keep my High School Alma Mater open.

Singing with her heart,what a voice..❤❤

I was 13 years old when this song was released. I loved this song and still do.

I Love Vicki Carr❤️

Beautiful singing. She made the song sound so alive.

Saw her in concert in Framingham Mass enjoyed her so much!! Her talent was far and above those of her time ❤❤

Her genuine goodness comes through.

back in time when music was music..

A theme ahead of its time, as divorce wasn't nearly as prominent in the '60s as later. There are at least a couple other Vicki Carr show appearances on KZread where she sings this incredible piece; however, you couldn't beat at that time the audio quality, camera close-ups/angles, staging, and quality of the orchestral accompaniment of an Ed Sullivan Show appearance.

Actually, Tammy Wynette had D-I-V-O-R-C-E as the number one country song in 1968, the year before this one. I don't know but maybe Goldsboro was inspired by that one.

Probably the BEST in her time but i believe for all time

She did that and the tears building in the eyes as she sings tell us she felt every word!

Words,feelings,emotions,blended to PERFECTION …Awesome to a million !

Mom played all her songs. Vickie Carr is intense and GREAT! Full of elegance and grace! I still remember many of the lyrics.

I’ve always thought Vicki was a gorgeous woman!❤

Underbar sångerska Hon kan verkligen leva sej in i musiken

Vicki Carr could own this song she lent her soul to these special lyrics.

That's about the tenth time over the last weeks that I watch the video and listen to the song and it still moves me to tears. What a great singer. Today I realized that the top button of her dress always quivers when she holds a note.

Superlative singing capacity and performance....

This has a country flavor to me.

Vikki was nominated for a Grammy, but the competition was fierce. And the nominees are: Dionne Warwick - This Girl's in Love With You Vikki Carr - With Pen in Hand Dusty Springfield - Son Of A Preacher Man Peggy Lee - Is That All There Is Jackie DeShannon - Put A Little Love In Your Heart Brenda Lee - Johnny One Time It was a banner year for female soloists! May I have the envelope please. And the winner is: Peggy Lee

@@hnc52 It was in Pulp Fiction in the 90s so later generations got familiar with it. Kinda like Rockin Around the Xmas Tree and Home Alone. "Is that all" probably won because the subject matter was so different. Maybe🤔 Or it could be that Peggy was the older artist in the group.

Have to say. Dusty should have won. Aretha was thoroughly impressed.

What emotion, it is unpretentious, it is real, it is felt. No singers now a days can do this, Kudos!!!

Vikki was a special performer. She brought great emotion to this song. Look at her eyes water and the tears fall. Was it real? Was it all in the act? Either way, she was quite the performer.

Here I am looking and listening to a wonderfully talented and beautiful lady - singing from her heart! Yet only 33 comments! I feel ashamed, because it’s only the commercial world that exists in music today.

Absolutely beautiful song and Vicki Carr your voice and diction give me such enjoyment. My mum and Dad tough me to appreciate class when I saw. Lady you are pure class. Thank you so much ❤️

Beautifull, she was the song...

I was just a kid back at this time but I adored her, she is just so beautiful, and she is an incredible singer.

Incredible!

Raw but refined emotion; magical.

A wonderful wonderful singer !

Love this song. Love Vikki.

Her voice and singing moved me so much that my eyes got moist.

I have loved Vicki Carr since I was a teen--long ago. But I think this is her best.

I love her

Look at her emotion towards the end of this song, she’s is giving everything of herself in it, so beautiful, makes you want to reach out a just hold her, if always adored her.

Wow!!! What an emotional interpretation. Amazing!!!

Fabulous...and id love to have heard Elvis sing this too.

Absolute perfection. Vikki Carr doing what she does best: delivering a perfect vocal while feeling every word she sings. Thank you very much for this upload. Please post her performance of her signature song It must be him soon! And please ... more Connie Francis!

She was really feelin' it. I wonder if something was happening in her life at the time.

Yo la conocí cuando cantaba en español y ne pareció una gran cantante ademas de hermosa, una grqn voz melodiosa tanto en inglés y español.

I would love to see someone sing this on AGT.

Simplemente, maravillosa... con una voz "de otra dimensión"

She was an extremely beautiful lady, with a amazing powerful voice

She was really feelin it ........... she has a nice voice ......!!

Sublime!!! Gracias por compartir

Such emotion. Divorced people will connect with this song.

My mom loved her ...... reminds me of my childhood ......!!

Wow

Exceptional!

Brilliant !

This beautiful voice and song has me in tears. Bravo Ms. Carr.

Hey this young woman at that time Vicki Carr she was singing that song to her man and his little daughter they were in love But unfortunately they parted ways wile singing the song she shed some tears she really loved him and his daughter you go Vicki girl beautiful

OUTSTANDING. A singer should never "sing" a song. They should "interpret/convey" the message. It is a transference of one heart to another. The message/emotion HAS TO be delivered. She lived the song. That is how it should always be done.

Historically, a very underrated vocalist. Unfortunately, the height of her popularity came just as music tastes were changing and overshadowed by singers like Linda Ronstadt who is 5 years her junior. Both amazing vocalists.

She has a nice voice. I do like her other song, "let it please be him."

Vikki Carr!!! YES MA'AM!

Qué triste😭

Magnificent :)🥲

Good

😢❤❤❤❤❤❤

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Tiene buena técnica porque a pesar de llorar mientras cantaba, no desafinó ni una nota. Qué cantante de esta nueva generación canta el sentimiento de Vicki Carr, ninguno, hoy es todo banalidad.

ela é bonita e canta maravilhosamente bem!
