Carol Decker - China in your Hand LIVE at 80s Classical, 2019

[@Win-xl7no]

Had my first slow dance at school disco to this absolute masterpiece back in the 80s. I remember dancing awkwardly, walking out of there with my girlfriend, having a snog out in the playground, and then coming back in for a second dance to The time of my life from dirty dancing. Happy memories. She was lovely.

[@mezza001]

clearly we can see many young people in the crowds who appreciates the 80s music!! Respect!

[@bjohnson1489]

Had good parents

[@johncarter6238]

Almost 70 years old and what a beautiful full warm voice, you are amazing almost 40 years old song, and your voice is super. And this is Live then it was studio work. I love You

[@PrivateSi]

Now that was a real treat. Still so powerful... like China in our hands... Thanks a billion!

[@walshamn]

She still sounds great, and it's so good to see someone who knows how to use a microphone.

[@ronphilpott4430]

Yeap, I was thinking the same .never stuck it up her nose once !

I was blown away when this record came out in 1987..

[@jayb2124]

Her new stuff is as good isn’t it

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

So called singers today should stop and take a long hard look at this amazing lady.

I agree fred she Sounds just as good as she did.

Pretty common comment, Adele, Pink etc can’t hold a note? There was a lot of crap music and singers in the 80’s too we just don’t hear it anymore.

Thirty years only enhanced her already epic voice. This version would make for an awesome rerelease.

Carol Decker has still got IT! Magic indeed!

Amazed by this orchestration. Her voice is still powerful and does justice to the original but the arrangement is MUCH BETTER. Speechless.... Thanks for the upload.

So many great singers from the 80's: no autotune with these singers, pure talent.

She starts to sing and immediately you got goosebumps. I mean, me.

This easily became my favorite version of this song. Carol has a better voice today than when she was younger

This has always been a great song since day one and I am sure I am not the only one who feels as though Carol Decker's voice sounds better now she is older.

[@kenadams5504]

Like a fine wine , her voice has improved with age . This is a truely moving performance , in my opinion.

[@OleM58]

Still got the voice after all theese years

[@declanmcdermott]

Mad about this beautiful lady back in the day, What a shock to find she is even more beautiful to day than back then, And her voice is also stronger and more beautiful, What an amazing performer Carol still is
