Gene Vincent, such an overlooked great artist, so sad that he needed to go to Great Britain and Europe to be appreciated. He was never given opportunities after the crash that killed Eddie Cochran, plus it severly handicapped him the rest of his life.
@@griswald7156 Yes- it damaged his already bad leg, which was nearly amputated after a bad motorcycle accident . Vincent limped the rest of his life and had constant pain from the leg .
There are so many wonderful things with the version. It brings to mind late 1950's early 1960's dances...and nostalgia. What a dreamy combo of his voice and the bands playing. I really enjoy when an artist makes a song their own. As you say EVERYONE knows and mostly loves the Judy Garland version- but there is room for more than one version and this one is tops! Thanks for sharing such a sweet and dreamy version of a classic on this Friday.
What a cool version of this song. Gene Vincent was part of the rockabilly era. Elvis' early music at Sun Records is done in this style. Another great artist who was a friend of Gene Vincent was Eddie Cochran. He had a lot of great hits such as "Summertime Blues". Tragically he died at only 21 in a car accident.
What a beautiful analysis of a beautiful version of “Over the Rainbow.” I agree with what you said about Gene’s voice being like silk with his applications of vibrato, glissando and his overall consistency in his delivery. You reminded me about a couple of things-a book that I have about 1950s rock n roll and something that I read recently about rock n roll’s influences. When rock n roll first emerged in the 1950s, people were quick to dismiss its musical aspects as well as the musicians’ abilities. I believe that in this song, Gene proved his vocal abilities went beyond the rock n roll genre. Fil, your analysis videos are always educational and this was no exception. Thanks for providing this awesome experience! 🎶
What a treat! I never heard this before. I think Gene sounds wonderful and quite different from how he sounds on the two singles I still have by him ("Be-Bop-a-Lula" and "Lotta Lovin'") in my treasured Platter-Pak of 45s from the 1950s.
This goes to show you that Gene Vincent could sing the soft ballads as well as the rocker's. As you know he was one of rock n roll/rockabilly pioneers with his band the Blue Caps. Sadly, Gene passed away in 1971 at age 36, Excellent analysis Fil.
Gene has a nice voice and he did a lovely job on this beautiful classic song. Thank you Fil, for another great analysis, you explain things in specific details and make learning easy and fun! 🙂
Another wonderful analysis! The singing is so soft, understated and yet almost hypnotic. I went out to start some yardwork and Gene singing that song kept playing over and over in my mind! Thanks Fil!!
Great analysis Fil. 👏 Ever since I watched the Wizard of Oz as a child and heard this song I loved it. I always wanted to hear a male version of this song so thank you. I'm sitting on my porch and listening and it's wonderful and so peaceful. ❤👍
I don't remember having heard this version of "Over The Rainbow" before. So I checked out the video first and Googled Him. What an amazing voice Gene had, it's such a pity he died so young at 36. He had so much talent to share with the world.
This diamond should be in your collection. I recommend making a reaction to Diana Ankudinova (19), one of the best vocalists in the world, who has a unique voice - a dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones. Many CZcamsrs have made more than 13 thousand reactions to Diana over the past couple of years. CZcamsrs especially liked Diana's performances on TV shows - 'You are Super' and 'ShowMASKgoOn'. - Can't Help Falling in Love, Crow, Personal Jesus, Wicked Game, Human. Diana sings mostly in English, Russian and French. She has also sung in other languages including Spanish, German and Arabic. I was happy to see your reaction to Diana!
Best choice from Diana's channel: Can’t Help Falling in Love 4.9 million views 152k likes - total 814 reactions to this performance by Diana. Total number of reactions to Diana, about 13 thousand reactions, all added to my playlists. Yesterday Diana released a music video for her first author's song Revelation. This song was the first completely original song by Diana Ankudinova, she herself wrote the lyrics and composed music. Several dozen reactions (total 98 reactions), all reactionaries are shocked once again, but now not only by Diana's voice, but also by a talent that can create not cheap one-time music, but hits for all time. Meet Diana Ankudinova and her song Revelation.
I also recommend paying attention to Diana. Not many people in the world know about her yet, but this is only because Diana is an independent artist, and her fans are engaged in her promotion, so most often you will hear about Diana for the first time in the comments.
Thank you Fíl, I've never heard this version before. And I grew up in the 50s and 60s the graduated from high school in 1972. But I was aware of Elvis Presley when I was 3 years old. I always gravitated towards early rock and roll. I used to watch American bandstand when I was a tiny kid. Always loved the rockabilly artists. Thanks again for another great video. Be well be safe and God bless. If James Dean sang rockabilly I wonder if it would sound like this?
Gene was the essence of rockabilly cool. His phenomenal voice didn't hurt matters. Thank you for displaying the raw talent of this very underrated legend.
Great video. It's a strange thing when you get rock n rollers doing standards. The Beatles doing Besa Me Mucho for instance!! I love this version of Over The Rainbow though. I've never heard it before. I don't like the twinkly backing bits though (sorry not technical). When you played the instrumental bit after analysing Genes lovely almost ethereal voice to me it really jarred. This should've been put out as a single without soooo much twinkly tinkly bits. Gene has always been a hero of mine. I have the DVD of his ill fated 1969 British tour.....so sad the way he was treated . That documentary is available on CZcams - Also available is Gene at the Cavern Club in 1965.
Such a lovely version, more like a lullaby, very gentle, quite the departure from BeBopalula! If you ever have time, check out Ian McGilchrist. He has done studies on right/left brain functions. Music seems to be more of a right brain experience which is why "mistakes" are no big deal.
I love it when you do these videos about the classic artists. I adore Gene Vincent. I hope see you do one of my favorite 50s artists one day: Dion Dimucci, or the two often forgotten Clyde McPhatter. Dion's Wanderer, Abraham Martin and John, or Troubled Mind might be good. Would love Clyde's Rock and Cry or Lucille.
Wow Fil, thanks for introducing me to this guy’s marvelous voice. Aside from Judy’s I haven’t heard many other versions of this song but LOVE this one. And I couldn’t agree more with your statement that the amalysis makes you appreciate it more - I love how you point out all of these lovely nuances. That’s why I watch. Great job here. I’m off to iTunes to download this track ❤️
There’s a beautiful rendition of this song song by a very large Hawaiian named Brudah IZ who had a beautiful voice and rendition of singing this song in much the same manner and beautiful voice! He passed away, but you must hear him sing Over The Rainbow! He sang other songs as well. He was a gentle giant with the voice of an angel from the Hawaiian Islands ! Thanks Fil!
He became really addicted to pain killers and alcohol in the 60s until his death. That probably held him back in terms of progress at his craft. Apparently his habits didn't affect his reliability when touring, he didn't miss a show. The reason why he took pain killers and drank was because his leg hurt very badly due to accidents. His first accident was before his career took off, although that might've been a war injury. And then the car crash worsened his leg.
Gene Vincent sounds like Tiny Tim's muse! ---- As an aside (and possible future analysis?) Joe Cocker seems tortured to hit his passion-filled notes, ...yet, one song that is very difficult to sing, (Tom Waite's I Think It's going to Rain Today [Bette Midler, Cass Elliot have covered,] he effortlessly nailed the notations nuances, atypical for his style...
I was wondering if you were interested in reacting to a seemingly simply performance, 1 acoustic guitar, two singers. Aurora singing Murder Song 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 a the 2015 Peace Prize Concert. Thank you for all the great videos.
This is the first time I have ever heard Gene Vincent perform this song. I know the Beatles performed this song on July 26, 1962 at the Cavern Club. Don't get excited because the tape sounds horrible. It was auctioned off and I believe Paul McCartney purchased the recording. It makes the Star Club, Hamburg, sounds like it was digital recording. I know they did "Where Have You Been (All My Life)" and the version that was released sounds way better than the bootleg version. Recently I heard Gene Vincent's version of "Unchained Melody" and I thought I read that Peter Sellars was the first that recorded it.
I always thought it was funny when someone would hear my dad’s name (Gene Vincent) and think he was the singer. He would get all embarrassed and laugh and tell them he wasn’t.
Thank you for doing this video. I always thought Gene Vincent was a master interpreter of ballads, even though he may be best known for hard driving rock and roll. So I can only agree on everything you say. As you said I note as bit out of tune can be a part of the overall expression. I would like to add, that it is also because of certainty and being convincing. In contrast to an unexperienced singer that is kind of of searching for the notes, and you can almost hear them thinking "is this what I'm supposed to do?", with Gene everything sounds like it should be so. Thanks again for this video. I would sure love some more videos about Gene Vincent.
It's very unfortunate that many early rock an roll and rockabilly artists were never given the credit they made on music history, there many less famous than Gene Vincent, male and female that never made but were incredible important to rock an roll becoming what it came, everyone looks at Elvis Presley, and the ki g, and but he became what he was because of many others before and during
Never heard this version before and it is quite nice and no Auto Tune here !! Not sure if you heard or analyzed another beautiful version of Somewhere over the Rainbow it is by Israel IZ Kamakawio 'ole an Hawaiian version, really amazing and of course can be found here in CZcams.

Absolutely brilliant!! I love Gene’s music and this is, to me , the best version of the song ever recorded.

Hello Fil, watched ur vids a lot...

A very distinctive singing voice, really calming and very accurate too. I wonder how far he would have gone if he'd not died when he was 36 years old.
He became really addicted to pain killers and alcohol in the 60s until his death. That probably held him back in terms of progress at his craft. Apparently his habits didn't affect his reliability when touring, he didn't miss a show.

That descending at 16:10 works because of the chord change happening underneath as he responds to the coda.

How pretty 🙂 I prefer this over Judy anyday tho her version is just as beautiful but in a different way. Thanks again Fil ❤️⭐️
