In everyone's life, no matter how horrible a life it may have been, there was at least one person, at one time, that was kind and sweet to you for no reason when you needed it the most...when Kat Edmonson sings this song it reminds you of THAT feeling. Of being in utter despair and someone came along and offered you kindness, sweetness and asked for nothing in return other than you partake of the goodness they offered. Now..THAT'S a song, and THAT'S a performer. Thanks, Kat.

[@randalwashburn]

Its not that she has a great voice, its that her voice does a sincerely great thing by just being sincere. The orchestration is so fragile it fits her voice perfectly. Kat is a mindful musician with a ton of creativity and class.

[@fancynancy6369]

Randy Washburn what do you mean she doesn't have a great voice? It's beautiful! Old fashioned. One of the "greats".

[@imannonymous7707]

Its unique and ya shes sincere , i believe every word she sings

[@scottbrandon9390]

She reminds me of several other jazz singers, including Stacey Kent.

[@gn4502]

@@scottbrandon9390 Haha Yes!! I _always_ get a Stacy Kent vibe from her, and a Kat Edmonson vibe when i hear Stacy lol.. They are both awesome in their own respects. Loved your comment!

[@azignow]

I have been a musician all my life and although I've always sought music that is touching, it is very rare for a song/singer to completely disarm me. This voice and these lyrics have. Thank you Kat for making me feel again. :)

[@ThinkerThunker]

Look at the crowd's faces ... they're all enchanted. So am I. (If Kat was a stock, I'd be loading up right now. Go Kat Go!)

[@marclemaitre9792]

I discover Kat Edmonson today. Lucky me.

[@guambetty]

I'd never heard of her before, and having just recently discovered her I have become a fan. And of her several renditions of "Lucky " my favorite has to be this one!

[@markdufresne5964]

I just Lo v e this lady's voice, AND her look!....WOW

[@stevenalred7606]

She hit the ball out of the park with this performance.

[@JimPhilips]

I also thought of Blossom Dearie right away. That vulnerable quaver in the voice!

[@TheAmmojeb9]

They way she sings is just Beautiful. this makes me feel like a Great Hug!!!

[@pimpss88]

I think I am in love

[@OttoVonRaz]

Thanks to PBS and ACL for introducing this amazing artist to me. Thanks!

[@theivory1]

This was my first time hearing her. A jazz club we frequent just announced her concert coming up in February. I think we will go.

[@1BrknHrtdRomeo]

I got hooked from Cafe Society...Her voice is absolutely addicting! I used to do this thing where I'd pair rainymood with jazz songs...her voice is just the perfect thing to listen to on a rainy day with tea/coffee and a book.

[@ocheltree1]

Apparently it's been 6 months since I was on this site. What I said below still stands for me. If this doesn"t take you to a very sweet place, just you, inside your head, well, ya just need to keep listening. Very few songs " lull you" into this place, a place of kindness and sweetness since you haven't known since you cuddled with your grandparents. Thank you, again, Kat.

[@weitzfc1]

+Rob F well said.

[@davidchicoine9209]

What an angel - I'm an instant fan.

Now I will have to listen to Stacey Kent. I don't know her... I love Joanie Sommers, Thanks for reminding me!

[@coppernaut]

Beautiful voice. Great lyrics.

[@jimbo1066]

Thank you Bensons beds for bringing me here.

[@TigerKing77]

First discovered kat as I found many that I really enjoyed listening to on Austin City limits I want to say she was with Martina McBride not 100% on that but from the first time that I heard her music I knew she was singing the lullaby for my dreams and champagne song is my very favorite

[@arsenalagent6675]

And they say they don't make them like this anymore. Classic, timeless voice.

[@stevenfroehlich744]

Kat is a dream ;)

[@rescuechurch8677]

Absolutely

[@frankiedsouza3630]

Lucky Lucky Us 😊

[@BABledsoe1]

There are a lot of negative comments for some reason. Well I love this song and her delivery. I first heard the song on a movie (I just can't remember it now. It might be Admission) and I thought it added to the film and made you think about your love ones. I purchased the song, but I like this live version better.

[@rescuechurch8677]

Now that is a voice for the ages!! Karen Carpenter smoothe!!! And she is absolutlty stunning!

[@ferlo54]

How I love this video - I'd like to get the Austin City DVD of Kat - but can't find it yet. Now I realize not only does Kat remind me of Joanie Sommers, but also Stacey Kent. Of course Kat is a force all her own. Thanks.

[@JoeChasseartist]

My goodness!

[@jostenan37572]

Same here. It looks like at least 5 of us saw here on Austin City Limits and youtube searched her.

[@LokitoBizz]

great kat

[@georgyave6012]

so cute

[@stephenrusnak237]

a epic talent.. cmon get on the Kat Train

[@SupersneakDD]

she has a really old timey feel good quality about her voice, very unique:)

[@michaelm.2129]

it's so personal, as if it's just you and her and no one else

[@scottbrandon9390]

Her voice reminds me of Barbara Lica (Toronto, Canada) and Stacy Kent (London, England).

[@fashforde300]

I love Kat Edmonson. I love most of her 'live' work and this is no different. However, being a songwriter, I know that there is a certain way the Muse brings you her gift and it is a formula. It is a formula that makes the song a sonic engram that attaches itself to your energetic anatomy. Thus, you remember the 'hit' song. Artists, having sung their 'hit' songs over and over, tire of the original formula, and do some improvisation. Sometimes this can work and creates a grander product. Other times, is creates something like this performance. I so much prefer the original formula, which makes me think and feel innocence, joy, and lightness of being.

[@sylviebertran8201]

Oh My Goodness

[@emilyw1340]

She has this sweet 1920s quality to here voice that I like

[@Euph0rik9]

A pixie. A fair maiden, not a guise, but a genuine talent. She offers a proper relief from the synthesized barbiturate of what passes for today's music. We need more of her, and less of the commonly-accepted insultingly bad.

[@TigerKing77]

It was Sarah McLachlan and cat edmonson in concert Austin City limits great show

[@katarzynaszczepara2407]

This voice .... like Walt Disney's animation. Amazing.

[@googoo-gjoob]

I dont mind you all enjoying this song....but she is singing to me....lucky lucky me.

[@bahbcat]

Her voice reminds me of early Carol Channing songs, before Channing went all out on comedy. Very sweet and relaxing.

[@KatEdmonsonMusic]

Thanks, Bahb Woolley. Carol Channing was enchanting, wasn't she? Incidentally, she happened to be one of my grandfather's osteopathic patients. He said she was totally charming off the stage, too.

[@cespedes1975]

Just heavenly my friend May

[@UjioSatashi]

0:00 - 0:40. cutest little thing i've seen. after only a 40sec intro i think im alrdy in love

[@inlight2024]
