I have a page on my site at: bradard.com that looks at 3 ways to harmonize this tune. I included a harmonic transcription of this version as an example. If G.M. takes issue with it - she can send me a note and I'll be happy to exclude it. In the meantime - check it out; it's nice!
I hope this finds you, ms. MacKenzie. Your voice and style has captured my heart & soul. I went online & bought E V E R Y T H I N G I could. I especially love 'Tenderly' God bless, angel! Keep 'em coming!
Geez.. relax.. I'm sorry and I apologies. Gigi's talent is so extra ordinary but she needs to take more lessons in playing guitar. I love her version of Thr Shadow of Your Smile, it clearly demonstrate all her exotic beauty, there's so much imotion in the music and her vocal range is amazing . She's awesome with her crystal voice.
I shot this piece and I can assure you that she is playing "live" on the guitar. By the way she used to be Michael Mac Donald's drummer and vocalist. Her mother is the late star Gizelle MacKenzie.
The girl has it all,also love her early efforts with Christopher Cross as back up vocalist,most excellent voice and talent.she has also done several National jingle ads,as well as other vocals with several groups.
I've got her CD and it's the only one that DOESN'T get rotated out of my car's CD changer. I never get tired of it and this clip amply demonstrates why. Gigi, hope you're back in the recording studio.
To: Sistalinda, you've mistaken the comment about being an "original song" from Ms. Mackenzie. The "original song" she sings is another song here on you tube called "lets make a go of it"......she never claimed Good Morning Heartache to be an original....You should be a little more sure of what you are saying before you say it......
Beautiful job, but really distracting blurb about the song. You say it is original. But this piece is considered a jazz standard. Typically, when we musicians claim that something is original, we are saying that we wrote it or that it was written specifically for us; as in original verses cover.
It's a little misleading, particularly for the young people who might drop by for a listen.
I apologize for the bad wording in the blurb. What was meant that the "original recording" (with full musical group) is on her CD. This video was an afterthought to show her talent.
wow totally blown away by her vocals does she have a cd? Plz post more of her, she is very talented I'm surprise I never herd of her. Thankz for posting this video will add to my favorites.
Of all the styles of music that I enjoy listening to, this style is right at the top only to Rock Blues such as Stevie Ray Vaughn. Gigi, you performed that extremely well.
FYI...this is not an original song. As far as I know, Bilie Holiday was the first to do this song in 1944. Gigi's version is just as hot as the oiginal Diva's song though. Good job Gigi!
Whats with all the 'better than' duels? both Diana Krall and Gigi are obviously very talented....period don't lower yourself to the this is better than that debate.....just enjoy
Responding to Ja22man's comment....Diana Krall is great on the piano, no doubt about it. But I've discovered that Gigi MacKenzie not only plays guitar but she played drums for people like Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins (percussion), JD Souther, Dave Crosby etc.)and she plays the Mandolin beautifully. From what I hear she plays three or four other instruments as well......so, musically speaking this woman is nothing short of amazing.....
The person who didn't rank this song five stars is clueless........This singer should be famous famous famous!!!! Do you have any idea how difficult this song is to play and sing on the guitar????? She's amazing, fantastic and talented....
