This clip is a far better introduction to Mary Margaret O'Hara than the music video on my list. Sorry about the quality of the video - at the time my cable was messed up and this show was never repeated. It was on a show called N I G H T * M U S I C (I have to avoid putting the title in clear as some networks search and destroy anything that was ever on their channel, whether or not it is available for sale).

I saw this episode when it aired (which included Sting, jazz guitarist Fareed Haque, and a clip of The Kinks playing "Set Me Free") and fell in love with this hypnotic song and the performance by The Bill Frisell Band, as well. Thanks for posting.

Just joyous. Took Miss America on tape to Africa with me traveling, when she first released it. Still gives me the most beautiful memories. The most moving and wondrous voice and music I've ever know, even nearly thirty years later.

I stumbled on to this AMAZING singer and performer a few years ago, and ended up getting her MISS AMERICA from Ebay. She's so incredible, she can't really be described! I just wish she had done SO much more, but it's not too late - I hear she's still in great form.

And thanks to this brief experience, I just realised what little or no effect this sort of aimless criticism has on me, given how I still feel the same way about this performance. Especially considering the 2007 live version of "When you Know Why You're Happy" and how different (and tighter) it sounds. Greetings, LunaSeaEinstein

What's the matter with yours, pal? Do you always try this bad to discredit any opinions that do not match your expectations? They sound too commercial for such a bold vocal approach.
