Great song.. I had remembered when I was a child…when everything was still simple ,peaceful and warmest circumstances.. Rita did well… also Boz was an original singer…both are great… God Bless U
Classic mellow 70's song. What a beautiful woman and voice. Makes me want to go through a time machine and go back to this era. I know there is some debate over this,but I think the 70's was the best decade for music and we probably won't ever have another decade like it.
I saw her a couple of nights ago, and she was as stunning as ever! When she sang this song I gained a new found love for it. I was 6 when it came out, and I loved it then too. It's a timeless classic, and Rita is too. A true ageless beauty!
Can I live back in 70s again? This one brings me chills ... Such a sweet sad song that might happen to everybody (be honest!) and the lyrics written by Boz Scaggs is so killing me ... Rita is so beautiful. The video is perfect and has the 70s 'color' in it, flowing me to the good old days ...
Rita looks just beautiful there. I remember listening to this song on the radio when it came out in the 70's. They played it all the time, and I loved it because it's such a great song. I'm 12 years old again hearing this. Wonderful memories! God Bless!
I saw this lady perform (at Penrith Leagues Club - Sydney). There were only 40 people in the audience but Rita was the consemate performer and played to each and everyone of us. One of the best concerts of my life.
great song by a great voice! Rita is one of my favorite vocalists, right up there with Stevie Nicks, Melissa Manchester, Linda Ronstadt and Karen Carpenter...
Both you Rita and Boz work fantastic...Sad and Everlasting song which many strong singers and its other languages sing for its version...You are amazing for this song...God bless your health ...
Breathless to watch this masterpiece from Rita Coolidge ... She sings it from the heart ... The melody of the song ... I don't know why, but It makes me sad ... It's simple, but it tears you apart ... The lyrics are so genuine, describing the very part of loneliness ... It's so '70s and they don't make it like this anymore ... Truly a masterpiece ...
This is the best love song I ever heard, and one that calms the soul. Her voice is perfect, I hope no one ever resings this song, this should be hers and hers alone.
Amo el internet !, por muchos años quise saber sobre esta canción que me hacía extremecer en mi juventud cada vez que la escuchaba . Saludos desde Guayaquil - Ecuador . Tan linda Rita !
Love songs have all kinds of emotions. Sorry, joy, pain, tears etc. it's all part of a great love song. Thanks for posting this. Always liked this song.
OMG one of my favorite songs of all time!! Its just a perfect song!! So glad UTube is here so we can enjoy seeing the artists as they were when they first made their music!
absolutely amazing. I hadn't heard this song in over 20 years until the other day, when it snuck up on me in the grocery store. It just cut right through me, had me balling in the aisle.
Almost no teenagers are no longer listening to this kind of songs. but I'M a TEENAGER and i LOVE listening to this. Songs these days got nothing to the songs before. Songs like this wont get old
I was an 8th grader when this song and loved it....BTW, I've always thought Cherokee half breeds are among the most beautiful women and Rita's no exception
Boz Scaggs wrote one hell of a song here. It works on so many levels. I remember listening to it in my flat after the end of another relationship, becoming maudlin with the help of a few glasses of wine, as you do, and wishing I could "learn how to pretend." The idea of a story being told and then growing old is universal and yes, sadly, we are all alone. Rita sings it beautifully. I think she knew whereof she sang.
She is one of the singers that I miss most from my younger years... Never undertstood why she stopped singing, (or at least making commercial recordings)... I really always liked her songs.
I have always loved this woman's voice. Hearing this song today sounds as good to me as it then. I miss those carefree days yet I am lucky to have the memories:)
Quantas saudades dos anos 70. Essa música marcou minha vida qdo. passei duas semanas em Acopiara - CE, férias de junho 1978. Volta tempo, volta. .......
i was only 9 when i heard this song..it sounds quite magical to me..i never learned to forget this song since then..Rita Coolidge is the best singer for me..
This song always makes me sad (the lyrics and the music is so ...), but it's a beautiful song. One of the best love ballads of all time ... Loneliness, sad but graceful, crying, cast away, romantic, misty, faith, hope, 70s heartfelt and heart-touching song ... Those words describe how I feel about this song ...
everytime I heard this song I think of my gran she was called Rose & this song came on top of the pops the day gran died felt she was saying some of the words . r.i.p . gran miss you so much xx
This is probably my favourite "love" song ever. The lyrics by Boz Scaggs are so powerful and so true. The older I get, the more these lyrics resonate and it does not just apply to "romantic" love. Every relationship we have deepens the realisation of essentially being all alone. Rita sing this with a huge amount of passion like she knows all about it. She has a stunning voice.
Meu Deus, quantas saudades..............lembro-me que na aula de Ingês do SESI 94 em Santo André, a professora nos deu a música e a tradução e até hoje viajo com esta musica maravilhosa..............Parabéns pelo video.
Rita's song actually moves me to tears. It did reach #7 in November of '77 where it stayed for 4 consecutive weeks, unable to bust through the strength of several other power ballads that were popular at that time. The blistering lead solo which unconventionally closes the song gives me goosebumps.
I remember that time . It was a golden hits radio age, the best musics ever. Nothing compares like that age. Rita Coolidge and others brilliant sigers had made me feel blue but very happy.
It's Boz Scaggs' song. This is a cover. She has a marvelous voice, but the overdone orchestrations here really make it a whole different song than Boz meant it to be. We're not all alone dear, we have a whole effing symphony in here with us.
+Mike Prevost Mike, all that orchestration (in addition, naturally, to beautiful Rita's wonderful voice) is what makes this version the greatest one, far greater than Boz's. That bass is enough to make me climb up the walls! Do you happen to know who plays it there? Cheers!
"We're All Alone" and "All Time High" are my favourite Rita Coolidge songs. A big thank-you for posting. This song means a lot to me. FW, will always cherish those moments when were all alone, way back when. You changed my life more than you'll ever know.
I once met a Greek girl at a disco her in Melbourne in 1977 and she was the spitting image of Rita Coolidge. Everytime I hear this, I think of that chick... long gone memory from the distant past. And I never did find out her name.
It reminds me of my mom too. You will always be in my thoughts and my prayers Mommy. I had the kindest most loving and understanding mother who ever lived. I miss you. I pray that your heaven is of the highest level and I pray that I will see there when my time comes.
On this day in 1977 {September 11th} "We're All Alone" by Rita Coolidge entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #78; and on November 20th, 1977 it peaked at #7 {for 4 weeks} and spent 20 weeks on the Top 100... And on November 6th, 1977 it reached #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart... Between 1969 and 1983 she had twelve Top 100 records; two made the Top 10, her other Top 10 record was "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher", it peaked at #2 {for 1 week} on September 4th, 1977 {the week before “We’re All Alone” entered the Top 100}... The week "Higher and Higher" was at #2 on the Top 100, the #1 record for that week was "Best of My Love" by the Emotions... Ms. Coolidge will celebrate her 70th birthday come next May 1st {2015}...
Yo tenia 17 años cuando salio esta bella cancion. This song brings back memories of Hollywood High 77 during the hot scorching summer days....I love this song and Rita sings it beautifully!
I am living in Korea and I heard a Korean song where a very small piece of the melody reminded me of this--hadn't heard it since the mid 70s and I'm 35 now. I was now able to google the song with the few lyrics that I could remember. I found it here, and the song is more beautiful than I remembered, especially now that I can see and understand the lyrics. I had never seen it before. The song and the video both leave me with that "peaceful, easy feeling" that's hard to beat anywhere. Thanks!
bellisima Rita!!! Gracias por esta cancion adorable que me hace recordar a mi adolecencia, a mi primer amor!!!! Soñe y vivi en el amor con esta cancion!!! Gracias
VEz ou outra entro aqui para ouvir essa canção e cantar junta com ela. Impossível não se sentir emocionado e mais feliz, Rita Coolidge é um presente aos meus ouvidos e ao meu coração. Maravilhosa!
I was 11 when she did this in '77, I remember not being able to take my eyes off of her in this clip. Rita is a beautiful wholesome woman who makes (me at least) want to just pick her up and take her away. Her beauty radiates from within, and has a rare natural beauty that can make a man weak kneed with just a passing glance. .
AM radio at it's best. Brings me back to listening to the radio, eating my cheerios before school. Thank you Rita!
How beautiful was she ... one of the typical beauties of the 70's ....
... too many nice memories ... Thank you so much !!!!!
OH WOW THIS TAKES ME OH SO BACK TO THE EARLY TO MID 70'S ... I MISS THIS SONG...
THANK YOU FOR SHARING...
Great song.. I had remembered when I was a child…when everything was still simple ,peaceful and warmest circumstances.. Rita did well… also Boz was an original singer…both are great… God Bless U

There will never be greater music than 70's. The 80's were good but will never touch the 70's.
As a child of the 70's, this song brings back wonderful memories. God, what I wouldn't give to go back to those simpler times...
I saw this lady perform (at Penrith Leagues Club - Sydney). There were only 40 people in the audience but Rita was the consemate performer and played to each and everyone of us. One of the best concerts of my life.

Romantic songs with poetic lyrics like this one you cannot find that often. What a beautiful woman and great singer Rita is.
This is the best love song I ever heard, and one that calms the soul. Her voice is perfect, I hope no one ever resings this song, this should be hers and hers alone.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song! And that voice...............so lovely, just like the woman! Beautiful song! Love that hair!

Amo el internet !, por muchos años quise saber sobre esta canción que me hacía extremecer en mi juventud cada vez que la escuchaba . Saludos desde Guayaquil - Ecuador . Tan linda Rita !
The most beautifull woman in the whole universe with a song that makes me want to be in those times again!
Finalmente vi um jovem adulto e maduro que aprecia músicas boas tenho 34 anos gosto muito dessa música e de outras de épocas atrás.Parabéns.
A mix of Cherokee and Scottish.
A Touch of Class.
An Indian Maiden enjoying
a Time of Peace & love.
Miss Rita Cooliderge
É mto bom voltar no tempo ouvindo essa cançao. Ela é fantastica. Obg por td isso
At that time it was a great pleasure to hear such a music. I wished I could turn back the time. I love your voice Rita.
I never tire of listening to this beautiful song. Bravo to Coolidge and Scaggs!!
Love songs have all kinds of emotions. Sorry, joy, pain, tears etc. it's all part of a great love song.
Thanks for posting this. Always liked this song.
One of The Most Beautiful Songs from the Wonderful 70's. Boz Scaggs is a Genius for Writting this Great Song.
Rita is Awesome
Seeing Her in this small kind little video just makes me happy I got up this morning
Rita....a name I like. A beautiful woman with a great voice. Love to listen to her many great songs, but this one has a special meaning.
OMG one of my favorite songs of all time!! Its just a perfect song!! So glad UTube is here so we can enjoy seeing the artists as they were when they first made their music!

Boz sang it quite well too :-)
Exactly! Same feeling here.

She is one of the singers that I miss most from my younger years... Never undertstood why she stopped singing, (or at least making commercial recordings)... I really always liked her songs.

I have always loved this woman's voice. Hearing this song today sounds as good to me as it then. I miss those carefree days yet I am lucky to have the memories:)

fav song of all time, wonderful cover, rita coolidge made this song her own and without wanting to be too morbid it will be played at my funeral....
The lyrics couldn't get any closer to our hearts. For my Big Guy. Love you xxx

The voice of an angel, Rita has!! A songbird ... dang-
I love this song so much. It takes me back & Rita Coolidge was such a beautiful & classy lady.
Rita Coolidge has the most beautiful voice I ever heard!
I just love this song. It's one of my all-time favorites. It gives me a warm feeling everytime I hear it. In fact, I almost cry.
This is probably my favourite "love" song ever. The lyrics by Boz Scaggs are so powerful and so true. The older I get, the more these lyrics resonate and it does not just apply to "romantic" love.

I must have spun that 45 a thousand times. Haven't heard it in probably 20 years. One hot woman
Amazing, how such an ardent soulful song of love only mentions the word LOVE at the very end!!!
Absolutley love this song! Brings back lots of memories! They don`t write songs like this anymore!
It reminds me of my mom too. You will always be in my thoughts and my prayers Mommy. I had the kindest most loving and understanding mother who ever lived. I miss you. I pray that your heaven is of the highest level and I pray that I will see there when my time comes.
Amen

Her voice is so gorgeous, like a warm blanket to me.
