I am caring for my wife of 50 years, who has dementia. She is still beautiful but does not like me anymore. Thank you and God bless you all.

[@tex24]

What a profound comment. I’m so moved. Caring for someone with dementia is incredibly challenging, and it sounds like you’re going through a very tough time. Your dedication and love are truly admirable, even when things are difficult. Remember to take care of yourself, too, and lean on support systems when you need them. You’re doing an amazing job. Sending you strength and compassion.

[@AF-wc4ks]

Good sir. Please remember that it is the dementia talking not your beautiful wife. I’m betting she still loves you with all her heart. My best to both of you.

[@AE-hi9uj]

When you both meet in heaven one day, she will show you just how much she loved you always and forever. Don't be sad. Everything will be ok.

[@CathyHunt-n9w]

Trust me, she is there inside her body, and the connection she made with you is there and vital in her heart. I promise you.

[@artcuriel5449]

I’m sorry that’s going on Mr Keuer. God give you strength during this very trying time.

[@alexallan-musicaaovivo500]

If Heaven has a sound, it´s the sound of this choir.

[@lkhalil518]

Fantastic 🙂

[@ShellyDHopkins]

What an absolutely beautiful and moving performance! I can’t stop listening to it!

[@dougnapoltes1036]

It's too bad we are allowed to hit the "Like" button only once. Oh well... This was lovely. My mum passed away today and I needed something soothing. I've been hitting the replay button a few times before Ieaving a comment.

[@rhonaontal8191]

Sending hugs & prayers to you dear ..be strong♥️

[@juliastone887]

The “music never left” & neither will your dear mother, even as she is physically gone, you keep her spirit alive in your heart & memories. Sending hugs & loving support to you; be gentle with yourself. ✨♥️✨🤍✨☮️✨🎶✨🎵✨

[@dannyriekerk]

When I was a young boy I heard this song performed by James Ingram and Patti Austin and immediately loved it. Now I hear it sang by an angel and a choir of angels. I cried when I heard this arrangement just because it was so beautiful performed! Thanks for sharing your talent ❤️

[@roccotorraco5827]

Hai la possibilità di inviarmi il testo di questo brano sublime? Te ne sarei tanto grato!

[@lyndagreen2393]

Love anything Michele Legrand wrote ...this is beautiful...brings tears to my eyes....

[@LMM7880]

Brian's Song theme.

[@Nightowl427272]

My mother LOVED this song…but she only knew the Ingram/Austin version. She was a choral director, mezzo soprano performer - rare, beautiful operatically trained voice. Music was her life. She knew of this choir, she listened to their Faure Requiem (beautiful). She died last month. It breaks my heart into 1000 pieces that she didn’t know of this wonderful version…she would have loved it. 😭 😭 😭

[@Jetlag69]

Now she knows I promise… probably enjoying it somewhere ❤

[@Nightowl427272]

@@Jetlag69 - What a wonderful comment, thank you!!!

[@rogermacauley806]

My heart goes out to you, sincerely...

[@JeffWilkinson-t5l]

What a great lead vocal!

[@rubengreenberg2253]

Her singing and the arrangement sent chills up my spine. -so very, very moving...

[@jeffbellin8224]

This is an incredible performance from all involved. I know this song through Tony Bennett's moving take, but this is incredibly moving and melts my heart.

[@warrenbean4991]

Absolutely stunning arrangement and amazing vocal harmony of this beautiful song. Gives me chills every time I hear it. ❤

[@ericsamuels6574]

I weep everytime. Waiting and praying for my wife to return to our marriage and family. Thanks for your prayers.

[@Andrew-nx5hh]

This is a really moving arrangement and Helen is outstanding. Fantastic vocal talent backing her too. I hope this performance is enjoyed by many in the future.

[@prestonwiles259]

amazing singing and Helen Charlton is superb as soloist. But for me, it is the bass in pink shirt and headphones behind Layton grooving at 3:10 that makes it for me. HE IS SO INTO THE MUSIC he cannot restrain himself.

[@beneloulou]

Agree

[@passemoilesol]

Toujours une répétition de la même phrase,une forme d'obsession chez mr Legrand..... un désir de refaire pour être sûr que le sillon sera traçé à jamais! Oui mr Legrand un style qui laisse une "empreinte" un amour de ce qui est précieux! La vie! Merci mt Legrand Un patronyme à votre hauteur!

[@garysmith8279]

Played at my dads funeral 😢 was his favourite songs gives me a cuddle every time I hear ir

[@johnkraus4087]

Lovely arrangement and a beautiful performance choir. Helen....gorgeous sound and a wonderful performance. Thank you for sharing!

[@dsinaga1]

Waow, still cant stop listening to this

[@janetvrudny3412]

This is fantastic. When I saw the link title, and the date, this choral director thought...Oh... here will be some helpful tutorial about how to proceed with life without choral singing. Well, no, but thank you for this sensational gesture, reminding me of an example of all of the amazing choral singing that has been going on in the world. I am weeping as I write. We all corporately sigh as we figure out how to make music like this in masks and keep our droplets to ourselves. Sing on people. In gratitude.

[@composerdoh]

Indeed- I was hoping to get some specific creative ideas I hadn't heard before on what to do with my choir since I have to teach them despite the dangers. So seriously, this is gorgeous, but if anyone has anything about how to run a choral rehearsal/program outside and with a mask, and with no in person performances practical, which is what the recommendations are, I want to hear it.

[@laurietarawa1371]

Allow me to enjoy, the moment I heard this for the first time.

[@ChoiroftheEarth]

So good is this that we just had to put a course together for this very piece. This we have done with Helen and Joanna teaching. Wow.

[@PamandDen1]

Cannot wait - a fabulous prospect!!😍

[@oliveramaya]

Hello beautiful song, please I want to sing this arrangemente here in Venezuela, do u know where I can buy this score? Thank u so much

[@b9times]

Oh my, those low notes...(and all the other notes too). I've recently been through a divorce and this is some of the best therapy imaginable! Thank you thank you thank you!!! My ex-wife and I saw Michel Legrand perform at Ronnie Scott's in 2011 - he made the piano sound like an orchestra - so many colours. He was also verrry funny. I'm sad that he is not around to hear this, but pleased that his music will never end.

[@augustpressllc342]

Hi Ben, small world!! I actually enjoyed the honor of playing a concert with him back in the day! It was just extraordinary. We performed his suite from 'Umbrellas of Cherbourg' (spelling correct?), 'Pieces of Dreams', and this song as well. My eyes kept welling up, made it tough to see the music on my stand.

[@b9times]

@@augustpressllc342 "I will wait for you" is another transcendent work. I haven't listened to Legrand's music for years - it is very easy to get lost in it - I may have exceeded a sensible daily allowance...

[@rushfan79]

Superb rendition! Beautiful vocalist that blends with the choir seamlessly.

[@alecomatty4999]

If music can bring people closer together, then it has probably achieved the highest of all goals. This song is undoubtedly a pearl and touches a lot of people very deeply in their hearts when it is arranged so masterfully, so courageously rehearsed and so lovingly and sensitively interpreted as we can experience it here. Many thanks to everyone involved! Every musician knows how much work it takes to make such a miracle happen.

[@cmaitre2]

Merci pour ce moment de grâce. Magnifique chanson et sublime interprétation.

[@vincenta.dejesus9912]

This is the sound of the sunrise and the sunset happening at the same time. I love how the bass vocalist in pink is keeping the downbeat and feeling the groove. Gorgeous vocal arrangement. And the lead vocalist is just pure love. I want her to be my daughter. LOVELY. JUST LOVELY. Thank you for this.

[@patriciaohare3090]

She looks a lot like me at that age. Maybe she's mine?

[@ma.ginazapanta2425]

OMG. i shed tears listening to this.

[@hisroyalness2]

TOTALLY MAGNIFICENT - I wish the instructor could have this group cut a full album and DVD, etc., of music like this. Superb training not only in the music but the studio techniques. BRAVO.

[@lilyapodemirova]

Bravo !!!

I started the Self Isolation Choir course today learning this sublime song with the fabulous Joanna Forbes L’Estrange and the wonderful Helen Charlston. We’ve had the privilege and joy of singing with Helen and Fieri for many of our SIC works.

[@marcoingrasci330]

Wow! Love this song and what an amazing rendition

A wonderful performance of a most beautiful song and a fantastic arrangement by Alexander L´Estrange. The choir and the soloist, Helen, truly excelled. Well done to everyone involved!!

[@trombettaio]

Really beautiful arrangement and a super duper choir with all colors and tuning as how must be! My compliments

[@claudiopvazquez2556]

What a beautiful Voice!

[@thewordofgog]

Oh wow! I've only really ever known the George Benson with the Count Basie Band's version, so as you can imagine a much jazzier version but this just lifts the song in to a different realm. You could almost imagine this being sung to God in these surroundings. Beautiful.

[@Jillhendry22]

I'm getting goosebumps!!! Beautiful !!! Stunning !!! This song just toughes my heart 😊

[@jackieshaw9256]

I am so looking forward to learning the alto part(s) of this arrangement with the Self Isolation Choir this summer! Of course, I will be sneakily singing the solo part too!

[@mikehamnett9336]

Beautiful. This is one of my favourite songs and the best interpretation is by Patti Austin but this is right up there.

[@helenlunt9148]

Shared on Facebook by a friend of Trinity College. I’m so glad I muted the television for a few minutes and listened to this. It is just so beautiful and the vocalist’s voice is such a joy to listen to. Everyone on this, just fabulous. Thank you.

[@pinkysison8786]

Beautiful, uplifting to listen 🎶 ❤️ to Thank you , I can't stop listening to this beautiful music of life ....

[@cvdelossantos]

Her soothing voice sounds like the earth's burr as it revolves and spins in its orbit. Captivating much like being frozen after seeing a spectre of a divine being

[@sandrolarosa899]

Helen, very young and already a splendid voice, in those days. The singers behind her were so sweet. Who knows if they have embarked on an artistic career.

[@lozeck16]

Just marvellous.

[@robertfraser485]

Such an extraordinary performance. Well done! You've somehow embodied the studio sound of a group like the Singers Unlimited in a live performance space. This recording is a new "happy place" for me. Thank you.

[@deweywsu]

Wow. Just wow.

Kudos to the choir director! What a beautiful choral arrangement! Great track for a background music cue in a episodic medical TV drama show, are you hearing this version, Music Supervisors ?

[@johncox2284]

Oh my God! That's so beautiful!

[@ashbhammar]
