If you listen to this you are a LEGEND. Why wasn't this a bigger hit in America?

[@corinevanderwerf5136]

I heard this as a 10-year old,in bad circumstances at home, it gave me so much power! I wrote it fonetically,for not speaking English,but I felt the "galopping horse to freedom"- power! Thanks to Chi🙏🕊️💪🏻❤

Eines der schönsten Lieder. Ich habe Chi Coltrane einmal live hier in Deutschland erlebt, das muss in den 1970ger Jahre gewesen sein. 👍👍👍💪

[@eluberimabib4070]

Amazing. Been thinking of this song all day, no idea why.

[@carlacp7817]

Ik kende deze dame niet, dit is 'n vrij monotoon lied, zij heeft een scherpe, hoge stem, muziek instrumentaal goed uitgevoerd. Maar toch niet iets waar ik vaak naar zou luisteren...

[@michelcouzijn5862]

I was all of nine years old, when I watched this very clip on Dutch television, in black & white no less, and I guess it was at that very moment that I decided to become a heterosexual. Ever since, I've loved women with character, chutzpah and a talent for music. (Oh, and did I mention beauty? Almost forgot.) How was this NOT a hit in the US? Weird country.

[@bowelrupture]

toen pas?

[@SanderBeemer-lj9ck]

That are a beautiful wish to go to the Lord Almalighty, greeting Sander Beemer from Arnhem the Nederlands

[@SanderBeemer-lj9ck]

So that my 2 brothers don't cry all day like when my Mother died, many tears to run her stone ,is that most beautiful wish to go to the Lord Elohai!

[@artisian6336]

This was on her album that included Thunder and Lightening, it is my favorite. I wonder if the album is available to download.?

[@g27r8tuv]

Here is the kingdom of God. Praise the LORD!

[@aarde7036]

😍🥰🤩😘

[@Fansiepansie]

Vergeet niet hoe ze haar daar neer gezet hebben, zoals ze dat alleen bij Toppop konden. Het lichteffect en de wind in haar haar. De clip maakt de song in dit geval.

[@pleun315]

De waarheid is exact andersom...... Dit lied is buiten ons kikkerlandje met zijn toppop al decennia lang een mega klassieker wereldwijd.... Door haar komen ze bij toppop...

[@hiltongardeninn2623]

Listen to emerson lake and palmer: Lucky Man

[@GCM4u]

do you know who is Elijah and that her song actually says " to be part of Yeshua" and if you dont want to hv thombs above yr head be ready for Eternal Life!

[@rodklooster676]

I let you go

[@alstoffel9173]

I was also born in Racine. Unfortunately for me, when they handed out the talent in Racine, they gave it all to her.
