Ruthie Foster - Up Above My Head

[CapitanJoseRubio]

Amazing talents !

Great !! ***** 5 stars

[atayvia1]

Very well done.. It gave me chills listening to you

Hi all,

OsoTrue gave the right chords, but I wanted to just add that there's an Ab for four beats before going to the G. In the key of Am this switch would be F to E.

But what I really wanted to mention is that Ruthie took Rosetta Tharpe's major key song and did it as a minor key blues. The two versions are like night and day. I like Ruthie's version tons. Way to go Ruthie!

She has the voice of an angel!

[tomme2tonester]

[OsoTrue]

What are the chords for this song, I've been trying to riff this out forever! :P GREAT COVER I LOVE RUTHIE FOSTER, and I go to the same school she did in Waco!!

[anthonypepitoneVideo]

Ruthie is playing Cm at the 3rd fret, F#m at the 1st fret, and G major at the 3rd fret. It might be easier to change the key - start with Am at the 1st fret, followed by Dm at the first fret, and then E major at the 1st fret. Good luck!

[toptoptoperr]

[kennosen1]

What a voice! What a talent. I found out about her tonight surfing the web. Amazing.

[irtimed]

Im gonna see her open for Booker T and the MG's tonight

[shesashesashesa]

I saw her last night too. It was the first time I'd ever heard of her and she rawked the joint! I was majorly impressed... even bought her phenomenal cd. I can't wait to put the top down on the car and pop it in and just drive. This lady has some serious pipes!

[mizjk]

Just saw her tonight .....what a talent and rising star. You go Ruthie !!!!!!Your cover of 'No Woman No Cry' rang true...there's not many that can do that!Also... great job on your Curtis Mayfield cover...rich full voice ..great bass & drummer.Peace~

[marianadelviento]

GRACIAS POR ESTO!!!!

[mrgrasskat]

Theres nobody like Ruthie

[sallyvillefilms]

I just love me some Ruthie Foster! What a strong and beautiful voice. I've been inspired by her music in many ways in my film making. I just made a short silent narrative using her song Phenomenal Woman. search phenomenal woman david to see it.

[kiriwood]

Wha a fantastic song and performance. Have you guys heard Alabama 3's song "Up above my head"? It's also very powerful and makes an impact on the mind

[Qubit42]

Colly: She has, it's on Runaway Soul. She is a phenomenal performer - I saw her live May of 2003 and it was phenomenal!

[louthebody]

I don't particularly like this version of this song, however this lady has a great voice and a nice warm smile. I would still go to see her perform.

[collypink]

I am now totally adicted to Ruthie, does anyone know if she recorded "woke up this morning?"

[collypink]

I just stumbled across this....she is fantastic...what amazing soul

[canguillem]

Estic enganxada a aquest vídeo, he perdut el compte de les vegades que l'he vist... i ses que em queden!!!

[alwayskeepdrawing]

Wonderful, Ruthie. Thank you. You lift our hearts, give us courage, say it all so well, and get us old ladies groovin' around the house like we are 21 again. (really 53) Merci beacoup!

[DirkjeA]
