Buffy Sainte Marie

On By ResaIn Boxes

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!

    1. I am totally smitten with that song. Buffy’s energy and spirit are marvellous. The throat singer is mesmerizing, and the players are amazing.

      1. 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. 😀

        1. Love the drums in this! Good drummers are a bit more rare these days. Electronic programming is making a mess of real music. IMHO
          😀 😀

  5. 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

    1. 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

        1. 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!)

  6. 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.

    1. 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.

    1. 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!

    1. I’m so happy I found this. Buffy is amazing. She is 74 in the video. She is 79 now.
      BIG MOUAH back at you!

  17. 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.
