Tribute to Louise Brooks: Whitney Houston Sings

[grofuss88]

A beautiful video, very well made and an excellent choice of music. Outstanding, thank you very much for this.

[Shabannie]

@grofuss88 Thank you so much for your nice comments. I like the lyrics of the song and I love Whitney Houston.

Once again...just fantastic!

[Shabannie]

Thank you very much. I am going to make a few more about other silent movie stars later.

Ellen, thank you for posting this beautiful video as a response to my Helen Kane! It means a lot to me!

[Shabannie]

Yes, you wrote a note about video responses on your other channel. I am surprised that people do not do this more. When I first started my channel, people use to turn me down, so I do not send that many video responses. Anyhow, I just tried to select one of my more vintage videos for the video response. You can always send me something later. It does not even have to have a similar theme, because I like all of yours.

Is interesting your work of bringing back things other people have forgotten

[Shabannie]

I had somewhat forgotten Louise Brooks myself. I decided to do a video about her when I was collecting pictures of the actress Clara Bow when I saw the picture of both of them together.

[TorontoEd7]

Well, i am not vibrating, but i sure enjoy your work!! I have to find one of Lulu's movies now!

[Shabannie]

I had thought about good, good, good, good vibrationssssss like in the Beach Boys song. Whitney Houston talked about this video on a talk show, but my friends do not believe me. Oh well.

-------Ellen

[TheBigValley]

Amazing you made me vibrate with this video!!! Compliments!

[Shabannie]

I watched the video to see or hear what made you vibrate! I am pleased that you liked this.

The song by Whitney could have been

wrritten with "Brooksie" in mind. Thank

you Ellen - a fitting tribute to a stunning

woman. Stay Safe ~ Keep the ROCK faith

[Shabannie]

I had a hard time choosing the song for Louise. I listened to a lot of music from the twenties, but frequently I did not like the lyrics. The lyrics usually were not tribute like. I wanted a song with an inspiring message, and I also think that this song suits Louise well.

-------Ellen

[MaggietheCat65]

I read an article on Brooks in an old LIFE magazine last night, a tribute article to old stars of the 1920s. Again, a great video!

[Shabannie]

Thank you for viewing this. I really have not seen that many silent movies. I get bored, talkiies are obviously better. But they are interesting to watch a little of, because of all the body language. They had to tell the story without talking, which must have been very difficult. And the audience just loved it.

---------Ellen

[dkmckinney1]

Beautiful video.

Thanks for sharing.

[Shabannie]

Thank you so much for your kind remarks!

------Ellen

[MaggietheCat65]

A stunning woman. Beautiful shot at 2:17! Thanks!

[Shabannie]

Yes, I like that picture too. Thank you for viewing my video. I like your Elizabeth Taylor videos!

--------Ellen

[SpringtimeSkies129]

Ellen....Bravo!!! what a fabulous video. Louise Brooks was so beautiful and you have presented a great slide show.

5*****

[Shabannie]

Thank you so much. I labored over the choice of music. I had considered 1920's music, but when I heard this song I thought that this was right because I liked the lyrics better.

--------Ellen

[dearmalika]

Louise Brooks was such a beautiful woman!Great song> love this video!

[Shabannie]

Thank you for your nice remarks.

Ellen My Darling,

I love this video. Louise was Luscious!

I am so amazed by her beauty and your video contains some exquisite photos. The music is perfect. 5 ***** Merci.

[Shabannie]

Thank you so much for viewing my video. I am pleased that you like the music. I love the song, but I had debated in my mind about what song to use.

-------Ellen

[MANFROMMARS46]

What a lovely video Ellen, well worth waiting for. Five stars all round. I like this song of Whitney's. Louise is so gorgeous and beautiful.

[Shabannie]

Once I found out Youtube would accept this music, I had to use it. I love Whitney too. There will be opportunities to use 1920's music on other videos later.

---------Ellen

[Shabannie]

I like the picture when she has the guns in her hands, and the music says LET IT SHINE. It is probably just funny to me and nobody else.

--------Ellen

[musicexpo]

Awesome video. STUNNING!! 10 STARS!!!

[Shabannie]

The Whitney Houston song is amazing. I thought that you might like it. Thank you for viewing my little creation. ------Ellen

[almassweetcookiejar]

What a lovely surprise thank you for sharing it is a very nice clip!!!!

[Shabannie]

Thank you for watching!

--------Ellen

[cloudidogz]

Ellen, Whitney's song won't fit many stars...but this is perfect for Louise - the original "It Girl"!! It is classy and throws us back to a beautiful moment! Thanks!

[Shabannie]

Thank you so much for your positive remarks. Once I heard the song again, I knew that it was good for her. It is about BOTH the ups and downs. I hope that she did not feel she was really racing with destiny though. I thought that sounded too melodramatic. I am hoping that Louise would like the video well enough if she were to see it. Let's just say it is close enough. --------Ellen

[eddschen]

the pictures and the music are so nice =)

[Shabannie]

I am glad that you enjoyed it!

[Shabannie]

I am glad that you liked the music. I debated about the music for awhile. I had been looking at 1920's music, but I thought that this song would be good for a tribute. --------Ellen

[pax41]

Ellen, thank you for sharing and this is a very good presentation.

[Shabannie]

Thank you for your kind remarks. 

---------Ellen

[ceb2633]

Perfect combination as usual, Ellen. Louise Brooks was awfully young when she started out but always looked so classy! I love the clothes of that era Lovely music. Thanks so much. Claudia

[Shabannie]

Yes, these pictures are a nice reminder of days long past. Thank you for viewing my video!

------Ellen

[Prod62366]

It's a great video Ellen, I enjoyed it, and the song goes perfect. I saw a doumentary about Louise on TCM, she was a very interesting woman...thanks for the video!

[Shabannie]

Thank you for your thoughtful and kind remarks.

--------Ellen

[Shabannie]

I have just seen clips of her movies, not entire movies. What have you seen?

--------Ellen

[CurzonRoad]

Very, very, V-E-R-Y lovely.... Thank You, Ellen!

[Shabannie]

I am tired of making videos now. I am glad that you liked it.

------Ellen

[TheMarcello68]

Don't know much about Louise Brooks, Her look (face) is not old fashioned, she is really modern in her attitude too in some pictures.that's what i like in your vid.Of course,I enjoy Marilyn part in the marx brothers,i saw the movie "love happy" ..... some men are following Marilyn,don't know why....LOL;5*

[Shabannie]

One of the reasons I make these videos is so I can learn more about these movie stars. I am definitely not an expert Louise Brooks. I have read that she did not have a happy life, but I am hoping that it was not always bad.

------Ellen

[oaksyboy44]

This is your best slideshow yet Ellen,great subject matter and an amazing song = 5*'s

[Shabannie]

Yes, I think that choosing an appropriate song can make a difference. I decided that I cannot lose when I pick the amazing Whitney Houston.

-------Ellen

[FASHIONCONSPIRACY]

you have a way of making something old...........NEW .....p.s. whitney will be on Oprah Sept. 14...

[Shabannie]

I think that the music is excellent for a tribute to a movie star. Thank you for the information about Oprah.

-------Ellen

[Shabannie]

You were fast. I just put this on a few minutes ago. Thank you so much for viewing my video.
