Natalie Merchant: Kind and Generous

We continue our Thanksgiving week of songs. From Natalie Merchant’s second LP “Ophelia,” “Kind and Generous” is often referred to by the hook of the song “thank you.” The video was shot in one day using the crew and performers of a traveling circus.

While the song did not chart in the “Hot 100” per se, it peaked at #18 on the Top 100 airplay chart, #15 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart, #3 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and #1 on the Adult Contemporary Recurrents chart.
