This woman is so talented, why isn't she world famous? What a range. Hearing the song is one thing, but it's positively scary to watch the video and see her go from low alto to that gorgeous soprano. Just wow.

People toss around terms like "4 octave vocal range" too freely - Happy actually has a 4 octave range - A2 to G-Sharp6. I've measured and verified her highest and lowest notes.

@SashaRose13 She publishes one CD every decade or so, and never performs anywhere, basically. In contrast, a jam band like Umphrey's McGee publishes a new CD every year to year and a half, and they play an average of 200+ gigs a year as a band, plus then some small side-projects. Talent with no work doesn't get you far.

@gormarx Actually she gigged fairly regularly in the 90s and went on tour in the early 2000s, and had fairly disappointing turn-outs in some locations other than Philly (where she can always sell a venue out). All that was before YouTube, MySpace and Facebook entered the public consciousness. I'm convinced that she could build a very solid fan-base and play to 200+ people every night if she wanted to based on the response to these videos and net/promotion and have told her so.

Hard to believe that talent like hers is overlooked by the public at large, and the likes of Pussycat Dolls and Jonas Brothers are revered. It's a sad comment on our society.

What an incredibly beautiful piece of music! Overwhelming! To think that I only stumbled across her by a friend who sent me the link to her cover version of Yes' "Soon". Happy, come to Germany! I could arrange for a top class backup band and some wonderful venues to play at. Or bring the whole band, if you prefer. Accomodation can also be easily arranged :-)

Now I gotta go back to listening to your music, so don't anybody dare disturb me!

You are awesome, K8fan for uploading this. Like you I don't understand why she is not more well-known.

[seanympf]

Know what? It is not everyone's goal to be famous. I'm just sayin'.

[FushiOsaka]

I think you posted something on a video of Mary Margaret O'Hara advertising this singer. Thank you for doing that; I would have never heard how amazing Happy Rhodes is if it weren't for you, video uploader :)
