Ladies Of Soul 2017 | Get Here / I Just Had To Hear Your Voice / Window Of Hope - Oleta Adams

[@47antony]

Miss Adams has never been given the recognition she deserves, one of the most full bodied and beautiful voices I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.

[@KJawn]

I agree

[@t.h.6177]

This is so true. I would pay to see her any day in concert.

[@lorebay2593]

When you don’t bow to deceitful request you get ignored for super stardom, another great voice, talent who would not lower her standards also India Arie.

[@earlyoung3371]

When you have real talent like Miss Adam's. You don't need to dress half naked. Just sing baby. Miss Candy is playing that horn like an extension of Oleta's voice. Wow

[@47antony]

@@earlyoung3371 you are completely right, that voice is incredible and candy dolpher is an amazing musician.

[@ericvisser6200]

No words needed Oleta is the real deal . One of the best voices of our time

[@mossion]

Oh she is damn good xoxo

[@armendabbaghian7277]

There is a word in the English language - SUBLIME??!!

All of them, Oleta Adams, Dionne Warwick, Anita Baker, Arieta Franklin and other Americas' soul goddesses I love

[@peterdevereaux384]

well, it doesn't get any better than this

[@henk-janswartjens7340]

She is definitely an icon! One of the best in history of music. They don't make music like this these days anymore.

[@norbertoisnenghi4292]

Oleta Adams is a special voice, interpreter, pianist...pure soul !!!

[@atty.laisanjose5456]

One of the greatest Collab! Oleta Adams and Candy Dulfer didn’t try to outshine each other but they give and take with one another to show they passion for music to their audience.

[@sanguanj]

Candy shows up in surprisingly vibrant sound

[@alesam9827]

I can't understand how this singer with her voice and her ability to interpret has never received a Grammy. The mere Grammy Award nominations she has received do not do justice to her talent.

[@reginaldandrews4002]

Candy Dulfer ain't NO joke on that sax!👍

[@AJA050]

The Netherlands always loved Oleta Adams ❤

[@nickymills2494]

There’s nothing more spectacular than when singers and musicians do not try to compete but to compliment and support each other . The heavens open up 🎶🎷🙏🏾🇯🇲

[@cush6827]

That is the usual way among singers and musicians. The "competition" is mostly construed by the press.

[@jan19541954]

Right on; first comment👍

[@flynncajocon8750]

Candy Dulfer the sax Impressive Adlib she Play Sax since in 6 years Old she Genius❤❤❤

[@gnramon]

oletta, and candy ...OH MY GOD what a combination . brought me to tears... remembering the early 90's

[@pressing1977]

Not so many artist can sing in this quality in live. Especially nowadays.

[@susanthompson7371]

Ms. Oleta !! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 ❤️❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🎤🎵🎶🎼 What a Beautiful Voice!!❤❤ LEGENDARY ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The saxophone 🎷 Candy Dulfer was phenomenal as well !!

[@joycelackey8255]

Even though this concert was in 2017, I still listen every day and it touches my soul in a way that makes me so happy. I hope to see her in concert somewhere in 2022. Oleta is on my Bucket List. Amazing along with all that accompanied her.

[@leonkirby9294]

I am finally going to get to see her tonight and I simply cannot wait!

[@natanthomaz]

She's perfect! Always magnificent! 👏🏿

[@KJawn]

I still love her so much. So glad that I grew up during this era. Musically it was the most beautiful and creative time ever

[@duaneharlick]

Lord in Heaven I love this woman!!! Every time she opens her soul to sing my eyes well with tears of joy. Stunning. One of my greatest musical inspirations. Bless you, Oleta!!!

[@heatherwilson3697]

Love ❤️

[@surtikantisurtikanti]

I feel like crying. This is too beautiful

[@ramonsun6334]

As a Filipino...I always look forward for a beautiful world filled with peace and love...and this song by Oleta Adams...perfectly fits!!!!

[@landocalrisian2014]

The woman in the red dress complemented Oleta's voice so well on that song.

[@larsscholz3762]

Candy Dulfer

[@divaslm1]

Facts

[@ranhill62]

Adams wrote Window Of Hope after reading a newspaper article about a teenage girl who had leukemia. The young cancer patient used to draw pictures of what was going on outside her hospital window. One was of a tree with few leaves in winter. The nurses called the picture, "The Window of Hope." When Oleta read this she was inspired to write the song. Years later she met the young girl's parents at a convention. Unfortunately, she died, but her parents were so appreciative of the song.

[@blissfulignoranceakathecof6895]

Randall Hill made me cry..omg...but its a good cry...thank u for explaining that😘

[@ariekamstra2329]

That's something I did not know. Beautiful.

[@schoolcoach1]

Randall Hill I'm curious as to how you discovered the story about how Ms. Adams came to write "A Window of Hope". Please explain/reveal.

[@bjrnwinnss4521]

I knew the story, and it makes the song so much stronger. Heartbreaking

[@goretti-canterburg-rainfor9813]

What a beautiful story.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

This is real music!!!! Oleta Adams on piano and Candy Dulfer on sax...Wow!

[@guitarhero73]

Candy Dulfer doesn't age

[@tonygee50]

WOW!

[@Sabrina-7728]

Goosebumps that sax 🎷

[@Cicilo1983]

"Window of Hope" is one of these songs whose lack of chart success is simply inexcusable. Amazing song, amazing performer, amazing rendition.

[@swanneez5246]

Well, if it makes you feel any better.... a lot of songs you just don't remember and never seemed to have made a difference or impact, this song however....it's still so strong and good. It's a classic now!

[@Cicilo1983]

You got that right ! :)

[@kevinpconnell]

I've had the pleasure of having her sing at two of my events and she is warm and a total pro. And that voice speaks for itself.

[@geetarnut]

O-M-GOSH,, I This video is so dynamic, and so emotionally powerful it simply overwhelmed me. I always held Oleta Adams right at the top of my favorite singers,, right there next to Randy Crawford! These two songs are some of the very, very BEST compositions, and not simple melodies to sing two. African Americans are absolutely the world's MOST TALENTED PEOPLE!!! FACT!!! Their vocal ranges and timbre are absolutely UNIQUE~!~ There's only a handful of white singers that can be compared with all the hundreds of African Americans and Randy Crawford, and Oleta Adams are only two!!! The best tonality, vibrato, and pitch control!!! Amazing~!~!~!~

[@MsKhobi]

Had the pleasure of meeting of Miss Oleta when she came to South Africa for the Joy of Jazz. So Nice. So open. So giving of her time and her spirit🥂💯

[@beverlyadams4021]

I never get tired of listening to her. She always takes me to a better place

[@rayt8642]

Oleta Adams is legendary! Inspiration! Sing Queen! Also! Can we give Queen on the Sax her roses! She is a beast on the Sax! FIRE!!!!

[@johnrhowley]

I’m obsessed with this woman

[@BerndSchmitt-Martinique]

Thats a real MASTERPIECE . Highest level of MUSIC and ENTERTAINMEMT in europe. Greetings von Deutschland liebe Freunde aus Holland.

[@MichPhiloMichaelLicata]

Oleta Adams singing, Candy Dulfer on sax and that song. It’s like I died and went to heaven.

[@annclark3914]

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍

[@africanhistory]

I knew that was Candy

[@jeffc.4323]

Lol...any time I mention being in love with sax player folks automatic think of dudes! I don't even bring that fish into the boat! Lolol...if they don't know Candy they be "the dandy". Peace, Freedom and boogie that funk! GBCD!

[@nadinemauvernay7670]

Une superbe voix accompagné de Candy dulfer magnifique

[@ingodwetrustdellaware-inc8322]

😆 🤣 😂 SO true.. perfect combination

[@anjac9277]

When you are coming out of an Oleta concert you just feel blessed!!!

[@abtbqb]

"...and music makes me cry." I saw those tears and I understand. Absolutely beautiful!!!

[@crystalackkles-mccray7236]

Love..Love..Love Oleta Adams

[@klaushelmerding7976]

I had the great, great pleasure to see und hear Oleta live in a Concert in Germany together with a philharmonic orchestra. The best concert I ever have been! Not only the tremendous voice und musicality I was impressed from. Oleta is a very very warm person and she is able to transport this warmth in a naturally way to her audiance. You can see this in every video recorded. I think that no one, who was on this concert will forget this and will love her forever! Best wishes from Germany and everyone stay healthy in this difficult times!!

[@michaelmiller1215]

The sound of a LEGEND

[@chazwingate423]

Just shivers. And she looks like she hasn't aged a minute.

[@alifadlalmoula9100]

BLACK DON'T CRACK BABYYYY !!!!!!!!

[@Trebz50]

And still, after all these years, we are still enjoying her sing it as much as she enjoys singing it.

[@tode2323]

Possibly the greatest song in history. Whitney and Oleta set the bar!

[@myjets8r]

I've watched these so many times, it'd be worn off if on vinyl. Oleta Adams' voice is so soothing....she is main course. Candy Dulfer is cherry on top in "Get Here..."

[@Porettob70]

Oleta Adams is nog altijd een topper en niet te vergeten Candy Dulfer op saxofoon. Subliem!!!

[@LangeThierry]

What an awesome voice and music I love you Oleta Adams !! this remember me Tears for Fears for "Women in Change" so magnificent !!

[@lorrainebker6389]

Wow candy on that saxophone 🎷 along with oleta was everything.

[@mzsmitha]

This woman has an unbelievable, beautiful, soothing voice! I have never heard a more wonderful sound than that of her voice!

[@jogrant9721]

She is a beautiful woman.

[@Liwwie]

Exactly. Although Whitney and Glennis are technically better, I prefer Oleta and Edsilia over them(and of course Gladys and Mary J)

[@margaretclark8621]

@@Liwwie No comparison oleta is in a class of her own!There isn't another voice like hers.

[@bluebeazley1390]

It is NOT A COMPETITION, THEY ALL HAVE BEAUTIFUL GIFTS!!!

[@cessaly100]

Yes FABULOUS!

[@tharanmanning7868]

Just a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. I had the pleasure of meeting her in person.a lovely personality.

[@denate3gman]

There are songs like the ray of the sun they will never grow old (Get Here), for each time you hear em it's like new . like a new day of sunlight, This is one of them. 1988 Brenda Russell, Then Oleta Adams 1990. 1000yrs from now you'll feel like 1988 & 1990 all over again.

[@abbeykay6133]

It’s tooo much!!!! I can’t watch. Thank you God for these wonderful ladies and memories.

[@lcarlosbaraof]

What a great voice from this spectacular artist! This sax, I love!

[@salimthebarefootsage8182]

The sound of an acoustic piano. No synthesizer can substitute. Especially when the player has the right touch. Miss Adams does have that touch.

[@RitaMCarreon]

It's Time for Another LADIES OF SOUL Tour!!! Do Another One Please!!!

[@alessandrodefelice6255]

I have been listening this marvellous vocal angel since 1989 when I was a 24 years old man.

[@alessandrodefelice6255]

Her voice and talent are gifts of God.

[@georginareed]

Every time I hear Oleta's voice, I get instant goosebumps.... EVERY time!! Candy's playing is not too shabby either!!!

[@lindaverba7066]

Wow, Oleta Adams with the Ladies of Soul, what a perfect match! So beautiful together !

[@BramHoekstra99]

I love the transition from the end of Window of Hope to the musical outro. It's so nicely timed.

[@frederickkado7763]

Wow!! Years on and she's still giving more to the song. The sax really gave the song something that nailed this version as the best !!

[@holgerreimer8321]

Oleta your Voice is so fantastic.....Incredible......i love you

[@harmongrant6624]

Powerful song Miss Adams as always and Candy kills her part!! Unbelievable

[@badmac9450]

Oleta Adams and Candy Dulfer👏👏Heaven on earth 🙏

[@pete2sash]

Nina Simone passed this lady the baton.. this lady is just utter class.

[@keagilezitha4625]

Oleta Adams voice just gives me the chills, what an amazing voice, absolutely stunning!

[@karendavidson7538]

You can't help but know there is a God the minute she opens her mouth only one person can give beautiful gifts like that and His name is God Almighty when the sax started I felt that in my spirit and soul nobody can do that but My Father God,All glory and Praise be unto you just Devine.

[@zamakanyile8109]

Oh yeah

[@andromeda650]

Dit is muziek, muziek die aanspreekt, muziek die diep gaat, om kort te zijn de muziek waar ik groot mee geworden ben. Dank aan de ladies of Soul om deze terug in de schijnwerpers te zetten, hoewel deze muziek nooit zal verdwijnen. SUPER Dames.

[@jamieobrien4031]

Absolutely Beautiful

[@cirepooch]

She’s a rare expensive aged wine!

[@FrankaBaly]

I could listen to Oleta all day and have. One of the best singers I've ever heard. Her voice is like silk.

[@esthersalome2459]

Zó mooi, mijn Amsterdam tijd ,Love IT . WoW Candy Dulfer. Heb geblowd dus wist niet waar ik naar zat te luisteren, maar mét Candy Dulfer in THE house is het altijd Geweldig . Ladys of SOUL zouden niet zonder al die té gekke zangeressen zíjn maar Candy Dulfer is de Leader of de Groep ❣

[@johnbarnett6924]

This is a Kodack Moment if ever there was one, Just Awsome!,, Thank God and Everybody else. TIME we'll Spent. JOHN W Barnett❤ 23 Sept 2023 revisit❤

[@spooky2116]

Oleta Adams singing one of my favourite songs of all time live AND Candy Dulfer!! OMG! It doesn't get much better than this xxx

[@davexxx5175]

Amazing..from the first time I heard her just ..many years ago! Amazing musician...amazing singer!

[@kickinbacknyc]

A voice like silk. No one else compares.

[@annclark3914]

EXACTLY..EXACTLY N TIMELESS!!!

[@tiffanchamberlainangelove]

Omg after all this time Mrs Adams sounds so amazing she is truly blessed with a voice like that and the saxophone player is truly amazing

[@mastermao8592]

Get here by oleta is one of those songs that reaches into your heart.. the vulnerability when you’ve fallen deeply in love and feel like the world has stopped and your wondering where your soulmate is this is how they can find you ...

[@nealward1]

found this great concert piece. She still sounds fabulous! A very under appreciated singer in the states. I always loved her.

[@philsarkol6443]

I think her career really took of here in europe specially in the Netherlands. I love her presence and her warm personality besides her voice. She was given an award and a tribute in the US..wich did not do her justice, the singers didn;'t sing that well...This concert and tribute gave her all the love and musical contribute that she deserves. Just an awesome concert with the Ladies of Soul!!

[@pnojazz]

Oleta Can still belt it out with the best of them!

[@VivianGadiane-gr8jq]

One of my favorite pieces . ..so amazing ❤

[@ranhill62]

The feedback and energy from the audience really touched Ms Adams. You can see the tears under her eyelids midway through her last song.

[@littlekiwi9724]

Yeh, I couldn't believe it! I think she misses those days as much as us oldies do. Such a great show!

[@dvmixed4173]

Oleta is an aged wine. Just wow! I can hear etta james mixing in her lows. I love the 11:45 to 11:49 mark, you can see her gratitude and appreciation of succession in her career... She is fulfilled. Also look at how she indulge and take pleasure in other artists at 03:38 mark, it's like she is having an arousal on something beautiful. Again just wow! P.S. She is really an instrumetalist who kwows tempo, look how she walks back the stage at 11:08 to 11:13 mark, in line with metronome if you know what i am saying... Hands down to this lady and her vibrato.

[@rjo2020]

Who ever you are, thanks a million for posting this! Candy is one of the most exquisite musicians, and seeing her having a blast with like minded friends is a pure heavenly treat for the soul! Thank you for this bit of heaven.

If big musicians meet together, it always blows my mind ^^

The soul in Ms Oleta Adams. Such soulfulness is totally lost in today's music

[@stephanieanderson2430]

Girls you are the best, they all deserve our applause, because they sing, wonderfully, I'm the number one of you, I'm Brazilian, and there's not a day when I'm not seeing your concert videos, glennis you performing in america`s got talents, you broke girl, from all the interpretations of singers in the melody Run To You, you are by far the best of all, you are light years ahead, a powerful voice like witney, excuse me the other beautiful voices, but you Glennis is the best, I congratulate you all girls you are too much,

[@TheRandyortanfan]

Loved every minute of this!! And it was sweet to see Miss Oleta tear up a little bit
