Barbara is the original but Yvonne ABSOLUTELY PERFECTED this song

This version of this song is absolutely the best. The music is unbelievable and Yvonne’s voice is perfect.

Oh Oh i'm so glad I found this song.

With such magnetic, soul-rendering, ethereal voice, one would imagine she would make it much much bigger in the US pop chart....give her the credit for her true talent and skill, it surely is a MIGHTY LONG TIME~~ Yvonne, soldier on and SING LOUD and PROUD.

My favourite version of this has always been the original by Barbara Lewis. But I would say that it is closely followed by this Yvonne Elliman version. But then again I would say that. I had the honour of dancing with this incredibly beautiful lady in around the late 1970s (maybe 77/78) at the lyceum ballroom just off the strand in London. Possibly she could have been over here promoting this song? Anyway I just remember what incredibly exotic & captivating eyes she had. & probably still has i imagine. I hope she remains safe & well to this day, and that she's in good health 😀💙

the 70's produced the finest music of all time. It appeared that all the efforts of writing songs hit a magic something, at the same time, as if they matured into a procession of hits, as if they were organized to produce one after another and another. I was working in an automobile paint detail shop, next to a car wash, and Car Wash came on the loud speaker! I can imagine the people waiting for their cars had a little bounce in their step when that sound cut through the noise of sprayer nozzles.

Now that I remember, not even the stupid Beatle curse affected the seventies hits! I never thought of that before. Groovin', My Girl, Lady Marmalade and Signed Sealed Deliverd were among the tunes that made me move and tap my feet. I was forced, however, to learn that not everyone who moved, could really hear! They just copied those who could. The music could have had a religious connection, because it was toooo good. Like inspiration.

I was going to college in Joplin, MO, and this was a hit over there. I know all three of the radio stations at the time gave it plenty of play time, which was fine by me. One of the few songs that I never got tired of, and it's still my favorite 39 years later.

"Hello Stranger" has always, always been one of my favorite songs, from the first moments I heard it on the radio, back then. Few other songs come close. Interesting to see how its reception was so lukewarm, which, I having always loved it, just baffles me.

I never heard this song,before I heard it on boom radio,love it.

Precioso tema 1976. Mis 17 años. Ahora 63 años y siempre escucho este tema, está en mi lista favorita. ❤. Nicaragua.

So many wonderful slow dances to the song with the ladies at the discos Memories that will always be cherished thank you Yvonne

Hello Stranger is and always will be one of the greatest love songs of all time, and if doesn't bring a tear to your eye, there's something seriously wrong! First Barbara Lewis and then Yvonne Elliman both knew how to sing a romantic song and tear out your heart at the same time.
