Vocal moments that gives you goosebumps..

The notes that Maria McKee holds in 'If Love Is A Red Dress', from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.

 

Wow

 

Our Prayer from the newer Smile by Wilson. I was lucky to see the Smile Concert in Montreal. What an opening!!!!

 

Great video too

 

Mary Chapin carpenters is way better ... take a Listen

 

Thanks for sharing that, very nice, but IMHO, not on a par with Nic.
Possibly I am more tuned in to an English folk sound.
Still, a lovely song, and it is so good to hear others singing it

 

Andy Williams with Simon and Garfunkel on his TV show. Awesome performance that keeps me spellbound every time I listen to it.

Here with an interesting intro from AW himself.



Best Wishes,

Leonard Cohen - and importantly the Webb Sisters, Hattie and Charlotte - 'If It Be Your Will'

Amongst the most delicate and beautiful vocal performances I have ever heard.



When I had the privilege of seeing LC and band in 2013, it was astonishing to see the other members of the band so completely taken by the Webb Sisters' performance of this and the attention they gave to it. When you have the pick of the world's musicians paying respect to a performance, you know you are witnessing something special.

Best Wishes,

Nick Drake - Hazey Jane II 3.06

Let's sing a song for Hazey Jane,
She's back again in my mind.
If songs were lines in a conversation,
the situation would be fine



Best Wishes,
David

 

Carole King - You've Got A Friend - from the album 'In Concert'

Just before the minute mark, you hear the audience responding to Crosby and Nash wlking on stage and then the glorious harmonies hit with :

'You just call out my name ...' Alawys gives me goosebumps.

CK herself is so overwhelmed by the performance,she says 'Oh God' on about 2' 53"



Best Wishes,

"You better stop yeeeeeeaaaaaaah
doggin' me around..." by Jackie Wilson.

 

This one, every single time.

 

And this. In fact two lots. Liz Frazer's high singing on the main section always snags me and then she totally drops the bomb after the heavy drums come in on the second half. Not so much goosebumps as a shockwave.

 

Rick Dano's performance, whether in the studio or during the Last Waltz-Kills me very time.

 

Have you seen this video, which plays Merry Clayton's vocal track for Gimme Shelter. Talk about goosebumps...

 

The Beatles - "If You Got Trouble" sends shivers down my spine.

 

David Bowie- 'Oh no love! your not alone' from Rock n Roll suicide.
Sandy Denny - The banks of the Nile.

 

Wow, I hadn't seen that before, what a performance!

As another poster alluded to, it's great to see Page, Plant and Jones' reaction. Jason Bonham on drums, I presume?

There's a reason this song got played to death on classic rock radio for years and years. It's a great f'n song!

 

Pretty much all of this:

 

And this:

 

A few Classical.
Richard Strauss - Four Last Songs.
Berlioz - Le Spectre de la Rose. From Les Nuits d'ete.
Mahler - Der Abschied. From Das Lied von der Erde.

 

the high scat-singing on Paul McCartney's "Junk"

 

Many great tracks on Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares

 

She means it!
What a performance.
