Found a Bell Box with Buffy Sainte Marie on it.
I know I had this song in another post. It is my favourite Buffy song ever, with outstanding performances by all. It is one of my very fave songs, top 10!

Super mural. That is a great song.
I am totally smitten with that song. Buffy’s energy and spirit are marvellous. The throat singer is mesmerizing, and the players are amazing.
Strong face – strong woman – strong song…
Agree, 100%!
Thank you!
Excellent for the eyes as well for the ears. 🙂
True enough dear LDN! What a GREAT song!
The drummer is fantastic!
Yeah and you know my friend, I always listen for the drums first. 😀 There can be so much pulse and feeling tucked away in two drumsticks and two feet on the pedals. 😀
Love the drums in this! Good drummers are a bit more rare these days. Electronic programming is making a mess of real music. IMHO
😀 😀
Agree much – imho too. 😀
Of course I still do like many electronic productions! Live music is different.
Just exactly. 🙂
😀
So cool. What a wonderful mural to find!
Thank you! It is a small and special piece. I adore Buffy!
I can see that you do!
Beautiful image of Buffy St. Marie. Such an amazing talent. I love this song. I read that BSM won an Oscar for her version of Up where We we belong in an Officer and a Gentleman. This is a beautiful tribute to her. Love it! xo
Buffy is fabulous!
I probably knew about the Oscar, and forgot. I’ll go hear that after this comment.
There’s a great docu about her… 45 mins. if you get a chance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1nNbR791go&t=1905sx. The thing that really sticks with me from the docu, is that in the 60’s she was hugely popular in the USA. It was a time of protest songs. Most were against the Vietnam War. Buffy decided to write protest songs for the N. American Indians.
Her songs were resonating in the USA. For that, she was blacklisted in the USA. It almost ruined her career, except Canadians never stopped loving her and listening to her.
The docu exposes how government controls us, our thoughts, our minds, our decisions, etc.
It’s quite a powerful piece, and Buffy is at the centre.
My dear Holly, thank you for your considerate comment! xoxo
Her song Codine was probably the most popular here. She was esp popular during the protests against the Vietnam War. She’s really awesome. xoxoxo
Can you believe she is 75 in the video? Talk about a role model.
Oh, loved the RBG reblog you did this morning. What a great political cartoon!
Another great role model! xoxoxoxoxo
(Heading over to Art Gowns, so will be visiting from there for a while.Got the water marks done on the sketches!)
Buffy Sainte Marie is a role model for women. We need strong role models especially now. She looks fabulous!
Agree! She’s always been an original, and so the beauty never fades, it just changes….like seasons.
I think she’s more beautiful now. She’s a fine wine.
Yes, I’ll go with that!
xoxo
Love Buffy Ste. Marie. I saw her perform long ago and she said the audience: You’ve got to invent your own recipe for life. I’ve never forgotten that. My recipe has had its share of flops but it was still good advice.
That’s a great saying! She’s done well with that advice, and has had many flops along the way, herself. It seems flops are all part of the plan. I mean, if you didn’t know what a flop was, you wouldn’t appreciate successes as much. You might not even recognize a success.
Love Buffy. Excellent artwork, song and post. She’s always been hypnotic.
Agree! & she’s still at it!!!
Icon. Never forgot when she sung Soldier Blue.
Ohh.. checking that out, again!
Icon… yes!
I am so with you on this song, Resa!! One of my favorites. Thank you for giving me a huge lift of my spirits. Hugs and more hugs!
I love this song, and I’m happy you do too!!
Buffy and the others have this song overflowing with spirit!
Hugs and hugs to you!
I haven’t thought of her in ages, Resa, and I never knew what she looked like, so I really enjoyed this.

Her career in Canada has been going strong all along. She’s 79, now. She was 75 when this video was made. She’s incredible!
Great song!

I’m so glad you like Buffy! That song gives me so much energy every time I listen to it!

A wonderful tribute to one of the most inspiring and prolific artists. I didn’t know about her Oscar triumph.
Thank you! Buffy is amazing. She has won many honours, deservedly so!
There’s a great docu about her… 45 mins. if you get a chance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1nNbR791go&t=1905sx.
A well- made documentary. What an eventful life! Thank you very much, Resa.
Oh, yay, you watched the documentary.
I found it inspiring!!!!
I love this Resa. I have always likes “Buffy Sainte Marie”. Her music made me think. Great art, depicts her perfectly.
Buffy has a wonderful body of work that will live on. That’s the beauty of the arts!
Yes it will. Hopefully my texting will not. “Likes” Good grief.😉

What a beautiful mural of Buffy! Such a fabulous rendition of her.
And this is my fave Buffy song. The addition of Tanya Tagaq’s throat singing makes it so special.
Agree with you on all counts! I love the throat singing. ⚡️💥
