Lena Zavaroni Sings "Mama" on Tonight Show

[@jtking2504]

Such a sweet little girl and such a MASSIVE voice you just don't expect it, she's amazing, no one can come close to her talent. RIP angel.

[@paisleycarol]

A wee lassie with a great big voice .The world is a much sadder place without you Lena.God Bless You

[@MrBooojangles]

This is the song I always remember her singing when I was young. Brilliant.

[@Mich321atAOL]

Wow! You have brought back so many memories of my childhood with this clip! I loved Lena in 1974 and I was only 8 years old! Thanks so much for posting this!

[@meowfit]

How sad that someone this talented is no longer with us. Rest In Peace, Lena.

[@Samanthanewark]

God Bless Lena, she was the real deal what a set of pipes and what a performer she is really missed!!!!

[@mumsbestboy]

what an amazing voice & an amazing person,there has never been anyone who can sing like that,

[@KeLynn343]

She was born to sing,incredible voice =)

[@Lavendergaljackie2]

I feel so emotional when I listern to poor Lena and what happened to her.

[@25thNovember1970]

Great to see this rare treat in the public domain. Thanks.

[@broadsa]

Never forgot this song. It´s really great.

[@Amandamoo73]

Until i watched this i had never heard Lena Zavaroni sing and it brought tears to my eyes that just like Karen Carpenter,this girl with an amazing voice succumbed to anorexia that ultimately ended both lives at the age I am now. Very sad.

[@SIMPSONSLOL3]

she is incredible she is buried in front of my grandad such a loss :(

[@001Bigred]

I hate to find out that this lovely young lady has passed away. What a terrible loss for her family, and the world at large.

[@firelilly08]

when i watch this i see a talented little girl who was torn away from her family to make it big and was given success and everything she could want but was depressed through it all. she had so much charisma and passion but was shown off to the world at a young young age. and she grew to be even more famous and amazing but was fighting deppression and anorexia. and sadly died pennieless because of money grabbers. its a shame. r.i.p babygirl

[@LaVerne37]

FANTASTIC!!! many THANKS for posting!!! Wayne in Texas.

[@help8help]

Her voice sounded like Broadway, like a singing talent that could boom across an entire theater. Some people see beauty in talent like that with a beautiful person behind it. Other poeple only see dollar signs. If the people I counted on were just using me I would be depressed too.

[@crazymermaid]

i suffered from anorexia for 15 years.i was one of the lucky ones who beat it.god rest lena.a real star

[@luckyjopot]

wow! so great performance! great singer on that time..i am so lucky to hear beautiful voice!

[@joannamichelle72]

I've got goose bumps...........

[@LaurenLillianHaggerty]

i was 8 when i went into a talent contest in my town "mega-stars!" and i won first place singing this ... infront of over 2000 people it was the best experiance of my life and im sure lenas truely missed

[@stevechandler1]

It is so nice to know that there are other fans of lena,I remember seeing he on Opportunity Knocks which is where she started.I like the recrds he did when she was in her late teens and early twenties Do you Know Jump Down Jimmy this was released in euk about 1981,there are a few albums but no cds that is a real pitty steve

[@VMR8648]

One of my favorite songs by Lena

[@osmondheaven]

Wow! I came on here the months ago and looked up Lena and only one video announcing her death came up. I came on here today and saw all of these. It's like Christmas all over again. THANK YOU!!

[@Lisa13245]

AMAZING VOICE!! I didn't find out about her until last night.

[@canihasusernamepls]

wow what a voice. cute outfit also!

[@PerisphereRec]

I haven't seen this since my parents let me stay up late to watch it, as a 10 year old myself, in 1974! (And I loved it then too!!) And to think, this clip was posted on what would have been Lena's 44th birthday, 4th November 2007. Thanks so much for posting this!

[@maxxxxd]

I remember seeing this on Jonny Carson and thinking this girl has a strong voice. I just happen to type it in and whammo there she is. Thank you for posting this. A classic from the days of the Tonight Show.

[@stevechandler1]

have you seen the 4 part documentary on youtube about her it is very interesting, so tragic a powerhouse voice lost.

[@stilln68la]

i,like a previous commenter had a crush on lena.watching these vids again not only the fantastic voice,she was cute,charming and definately had the x factor.maybe if she had the help and guidance afforded to child stars these days she would not have developed her illness.unfortunately we´ll never know.RIP lena

[@monahgrethe]

Powerhouse voice, what an attitude! Love her:) X factor all the way!

[@mumsbestboy]

what a voice,does anyone have any vids that they could post of Lena singing personality & schools out & does anyone know what age she was when she sang them?I could listen to Lena singing all day,especially when she was a child,she was amazing.

[@sherribailey75]

wow. i wasn't expecting that. what a pro and a talent. it's as though...having that kind of talent, it must have been almost overwhelming. she must have felt like she was in constant competition with herself. sigh.....

[@frinkmhey]

God damn!

[@FayteKnightmare]

what a voice!

[@laurac12321]

Woah

[@Lisa13245]

Well put.

[@mrnack]

holy shit, that's amazing!

[@lingopresley]

MARIA!

[@mikeylorene]

Agree with you all the way. This self aggrandized vigilante woman is going overboard to lay the blame on SOMEBODY!

[@StarsInMyHands]

Hey, anyone know what happened to the "If It Wasn't For You, Dear" video and all those others that used to be up? =(

[@swordfish1064]

Can anyone tell me when she performed her last live concert.

[@discovery781]

its amazing to hear such a talented young singer from the 70s... fast forward today everyone is captivated by a puny voiced marginally talented singer called connie talbot....

[@dAddAs1]

oh, she's a sweety!! how did she die?

[@ysgol3]

Do people still mix her up with Bonnie Langford ??

[@chutchybo]

i remember wanting a dress like that, was all the rage then!!..i look at the young girls now lill hannah montana wannabees with the short shorts etc... this was no different.. just crap clothes lol

[@stevechandler1]

did you like Schools Out the b side to personality

[@Lisa13245]

I wouldn't consider her fat.

[@czabodeborba]

Who is Connie?

[@mikeylorene]

There always has to ONE in the bunch, doesn't there?

[@darrowby1972]

Just like Karen Carpenter, such a tragic shame she couldnt eat as well as she sang!

[@mikeylorene]

Oh, you've changed the story, Tilly... now she didn't die alone in a council house? Lena was a grown up adult and made her own choices. For goodness sakes, stop meddling in whose "fault" it was. It's distressing enough without your insistence on criminalizing what happened to Lena- why not go over to the Karen Carpenter boards and nail HER parents- and maybe her brother and agent?

[@Raphtor13]

Connie is MUCH younger...compare her at 10 to this...not at 5 or 6.

[@alfie1438]

Great little voice in a different class to connie lena had power in her voice unlike connies silly annoying sound

[@Cla900]

totally agree with you - i cannot stand connie talbot!! argh she's so annoying and vibrates her voice so much

[@alfie1438]

Connie wont be around long enough anyway as she is just a flash in the pan with the ahhh factor....one word Talentless

[@ralucagymnast]

I hope thats a joke. Connie will never be as good as Lena was. She hasnt got the natural power and variety of range.She is just a cute little girl and nothing more. Sorry.

[@BIGMUDDYDOG]

She's not too bad but she wouldn't make a pimple on Connie Talbot's butt.

[@jadeamazon]

fantastic singer wow shes so young, wonderful jade
