I never thought I would see this here, the girl got great talent. Funny thing is, the second she stops singing, she looks just like that shy little girl again. God bless her, and hope she takes care of herself better than Janis did. 2 ran23 and pcramer1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adiantum 36,198 Report post Posted March 23 Shirley Horn............... What an amazing voice & what a pity it's taken me all these years to hear it 1 ran23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammer 19,460 Report post Posted March 25 I always thought that the original version by Percy Sledge was the best version, but this version is amazing. Keep in mind that this is an acapella group, meaning that there are no instruments playing. The instrument sounds that you hear are these guys making the sounds with their voices, and that includes the drums. 2 ran23 and pcramer1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adiantum 36,198 Report post Posted March 25 I'm often amazed at the sounds some can create while always fascinated with throat singing as done by Mongols,Inuit & Tibetans. Found this group The HU by accident & wow... 1 ran23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hammer 19,460 Report post Posted March 25 Another good example of how the human voice can make sounds is shown here. 1 ran23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammer 19,460 Report post Posted March 31 I don't know how you can get 2000 people to sing together like this, but it sounds really good. I have all of Abba's songs, so this was a nice surprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammer 19,460 Report post Posted April 23 Wouldn't it be great if the world was still like this today, instead of the hatred and rioting that is now occurring? Many of the older people here know this song, and the artists who sang it, but was done at a better time in history, and it was made to raise money for the hunger in Africa. Why can't we be that way today? 1 ran23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hammer 19,460 Report post Posted Monday at 09:32 AM I saw the movie with Clint Eastwood that used this as it's theme song. I also have this movie, but to see how many people, and the instruments that were involved, to make it, is just amazing. 2 ran23 and meyery2k reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meyery2k 26,824 Report post Posted Monday at 04:59 PM The 2nd half of this piece, "The Ecstasy of Gold" is one of the most nail biting scenes I have ever seen in a movie. The music drives it but, Mr. Eastwood, Mr. Van Cleef, and Mr. Wallach bring it to life. 2 ran23 and buddy7 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hammer 19,460 Report post Posted Tuesday at 03:49 PM 3 hours ago, 2coolChess said: What I feel today. When this group approached a music producer and gave him a demo tape that the group made in their basement, the producer couldn't believe that it was made in their basement because it sounded professional. The reason for that, was because one of the members of the group was a sound engineer and knew how to set the basement up, as well as the equipment up, to make it sound that professional. By the way, I have that album.🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
