Groovy Kind of Love

[infantamay92]

Went to a small New Year's party at a friends house once, and Phil was there with his wife. They did a voice/piano/violin duet for us :)

[lileema8]

I'm dead on the floor...this.is.amazing!

[ggiro]

this is simply beautiful. i wish they could come up with a praise album. they sound like a bunch of angels.

[lacelu713]

@bearlickus1 that track can be found on the "Circle of Life" CD.

[bearlickus1]

What CD is this on? I need to own it!

[CelticKisses]

Who dislikes this sort of music??

[wixi311293]

This is a beautifully simple arrangement... Paul's voice is to die for. One in a million both as a treble and tenor!

[TheUechen]

Wow!

[wenglishsal]

Ooh I got a groovy kind of love for the Kings Singers *sighs* :0)x

[BarleyC]

Wonderful - sent shivers...

[maslelviz]

no offense to Phil Collins, but this one is way better than the original version!!! I first heard it about 5 years ago in Lithuania and I was searching for this song performed by Kings Singers since then... I finally found it...

[englanddg]

And now I have a kid, and I understand articulation...I REFUSE to let those dumb ass teachers weigh her down.

[englanddg]

And I feel like a dick...I'd rather have been a choir teacher...Oh well..

[englanddg]

I scored a 1450 on my SAT, but that meant nothing. (those both prior were why I was offered scholarships...until they found out that I didn't have a "college prep" diploma in the state of GA)...even though I graduated high school with 28 credits at that time, I didn't meet their "college prep" because they did not recognize the high school biology or language credits I did IN A HIGH SCHOOL in Northern VA...

How wonderful. Now, I have my revenge. I make money putting Americans out of work.

[englanddg]

Why rescinded? Simple...I went to 10 schools over 12 years, 'cause my father had the audacity to be a military person. My choir when I was in Tacoma performed in the National Festival of Gold in the National Cathedral...and even placed...but of course that means nothing to Westminster. I could have been a choir teacher...now I make a living putting people out of work. Not fun.

[englanddg]

I met them all in ATL...I'd love to sing just one song with them...it's not the old Kings Singers, but of all groups, they've done a great job. I'm 32...I grew up on their music (through my parents), seen them several times...and they inspired me to vocal works...back before it was popular in the circuit to but their arrangements...you know, before 2000...that due to our nice educational system, got offered scholarships that were rescinded.

[KyrstSings]

I just wish I could go see or maybe even sing with them...in my dreams though. only in my dreams :(

[englanddg]

I LOVE the KINGS SINGERS! But, in person....I'd love to sing with them...just once. I have a 3 octave range...and I know so many of their pieces....what would that cost...? A jam session, so to speak?

[kingssingersgirl]

@englanddg when you get one, bring me along! i wanna go too!

[ausiliare6060]

impossibile commentare...a volte e' impossibile anche respirare...

[redhairkid]

They have just made a great song even greater!

[Acoustix77]

Wish they'd come in Arnhem soon.... this simply is heavenly to listen to

[MrRetromunkey]

Chord at 1:43

Epic

[cpjds1]

@MrRetromunkey No kidding! Gives me shivers...

[wenglishsal]

BEAUTIFUL... as always.. Paul you total smoothy... the harmonies are gorgeous and then Phil does a bit.. ahh... I am soaring straight up into the stratosphere, and I have no wings yet... Stunning.. *sighs deeply* :0)x

[SilverDesertRose]

Just watched this for the first time.

This is officially my favorite song that I've heard them do. :3

<3<3<3

[Tinseubois]

" Emprunté " à André Bergs... Magnifique, non ?

[katemcgizzle25]

I think I already commented on this video but I will again. This is beautiful. Paul Phoenix: Best tenor I've ever heard. All of you blend so well it makes my heart melt. :) I hope one day I can go see you in concert. And meet you. aah! :D

[ddball1]

I'd so sing this to my girl .. if I were a choir :ddchug:

[Spudbass]

The word "shatter" made me gasp.

[kingssingersgirl]

@Spudbass that entire line ("when im in your arms nothing seems to matter, my whole world could shatter i dont care) is my favorite part of the song

[Spudbass]

@kingssingersgirl I couldn't agree more. I recently ordered the sheet music and tried singing all the parts myself, and it makes it all the more obvious how incredible their intonation and blending is, not to mention Phil's arranging skills!

[kingssingersgirl]

@Spudbass sorry about that blank post lol... indeed, it is so magical! have you ever seen them live in concert?

[Spudbass]

@kingssingersgirl No unfortunately, but I'd love to! Have you?

[kingssingersgirl]

@Spudbass yes i have actually... i went back in february. do you remember a blog from back in february where a girl had given them gift bags at a texas concert?

[Spudbass]

@kingssingersgirl Yeah I think so - was that you?

[kingssingersgirl]

@Spudbass ya that would be me :)

[kingssingersgirl]

@Spudbass

[wenglishsal]

Simply divine, beautifully sung Gents, especially Mr Paul Phoenix... Cracking job fellas... :0)x

[EstebanDeathwatch]

I had the pleasure of working with them a few years ago... lot of Beatles' songs with a pops orchestra..... why does that organ have canons aimed at the congregation?!?! ............ I hope they're not canons in D!!

[hannahlmatt]

@EstebanDeathwatch I guess so the organist can wake up anyone that's fallen asleep during church....... Seems possible! :)

[TheOrlandolassus]

I have a ton of their albums... 11 on vinyl and 62 on CD. If anyone wants/need a song or whatever let me know. I love sharing their music with people.

[joyyau2]

this took my breath away.

i cant breathe :)

[hannahlmatt]

I've been listening to this non stop! Great song!

[ctmajka]

Oooh! I got chills! This was great!

[susanmercy]

Absolute perfection...as usual :-)

[Acoustix77]

Magical arrangement. This always was my favorite of Phil Collins.

[kingssingersgirl]

i love this to death! paul is totally singing to me LOL. or at least i wish he was.... but anyway... does anyone know if phil arranged this?

[cpe11]

@kingssingersgirl

Paul does do a great job with the solo on this one, and the blend of the accompanying vocals is exquisite. It rivals, and in my opinion bests, the studio version.

I believe Philip Lawson did arrange it. You can find it on their album "Circle of Life", (Bob Chilcott does the solo there) and you can pick up the sheet music at their website.

[kingssingersgirl]

i knew i had heard it somewhere before! i own that album! thanks for reminding me! how did you hear of them originally?

[cpe11]

A friend of mine let me hear "Lo How A Rose Er Blooming" (in German of course) on their album "A Little Christmas Music". At that time I had just recently discovered my love for ensemble singing, and it was the best thing I'd ever heard. Little did I know they had so much more amazing work. I now own 25 albums and counting! And you?

[kingssingersgirl]

recommendation through itunes- "lullabye (goodnight my angel). i now own between 20-22 and counting! i have always loved ensemble music- i want to be a choir director actually! so this is basically the most awesome thing i've even heard. actually, i wouldnt mind learning a thing or two from stephen about directing. he has his international a cappella school, you know. i would give almost anything to go and learn from him!

[jihanjoo]

49 (and counting of course). :)

[kingssingersgirl]

o really?? can you send me a list of the ones you have so i can compare our lists?

[cpjds1]

@kingssingersgirl I just bought the arrangement to sing with a group I'm a part of. Philip Lawson arranged it. :D

[kingssingersgirl]

@cpjds1 hows practice going on that? im excited to hear it once you guys get it down! possible for me to get a copy or a video of it?

[englanddg]

@cpjds1 Same same, post!

[kingssingersgirl]

@englanddg you'll have to send me a message or comment or something when you get it up. im getting excited now! :)

[cpjds1]

@englanddg Will do! Soon :) We are still working it up....we hope to debut it next month at a show in Idaho!

[iwanabana]

@cpjds1 mind sending me a copy of it? in the place where i live in there aren't shops that sell choral or vocal scores...at all :(

[Avericum]

THIS IS GREAT....

[magicalmisstery]

A Groovy Kind of WOW!!

[jibcraip]

VERY nice arrangement and performance...can't wait to see you again in France =)

[GWizers]

First!
