    Geoff actually has a 5 octave range. This was the first song I ever heard him sing because I love Tennessee Ernie Ford. I remember seeing him on I Love Lucy reruns. I'm not that old yet. Anyway, I didn't know who Geoff was or Voiceplay. I actually thought it was quadruplets at first and about choked. I can honestly say he and Voiceplay became my obsession. I have watched every video they have come out with and they only get better. Goeff's Take Me Home Country Roads is fantastic and I didn't even like John Denver's version. If you get the chance you should really react to Geoffs cover of the Headless Horseman and anything by Voiceplay. The Oogie Boogie Song has Geoff as lead singer and really shows off his range but all of the groups songs are great.

    This one is Great, but you need to hear him do "Bear Necessities" & "Mele Kalikimaka /with the American Sirens" but what made the Internet Scream was "Oogie Boogie Song" with Voice Play. (and it's Tennessee ERN-EE Ford) 16 Tons was a huge hit for him back in the 40's, along with "The Shotgun Boogie". If you ever watched the old Black and White I Love Lucy reruns he had a recurring character called Cousin Ernie. He was also known for his singing of Gospel songs. Keep up the good work, Delightful as always.

  • @steveray9655
    @steveray9655 3 роки тому +7

    Even the high notes in this song are him. I don't know if you prefer to do seasonal songs only in the season, but in addition to "Oogie Boogie's Song", Voiceplay also covered "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch", and "Grim, Grinning Ghosts". Geoff covered "The Headless Horseman", and recently "Take Me Home, Country Roads". Voiceplay also has a great collaboration with MANY other a capella artists: "Just Sing". If/when you do that one, be sure you have the captions turned on. They included information about who everyone is (as well as some rather snarky remarks).
    Oh! You should also check out their cover of "Daddy Sang Bass".

    How appropriate to have your "Toys "R" Us" Geoffrey the Giraffe pillow listening to 16 Tons, performed by Geoff Castelucci. Them thar Geofferys form a pretty tight bond. Also, yes I would very much appreciate you reviewing 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford, along with many others, such as Peace it the Valley, In the Garden, The Old Rugged Cross, along with many more. I admired him for many years, My Dad had a television repair shop, where he also sold Televisions and record players. As Stereo was brand new at that time, my Dad would play Stereo records by TEF, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and the Country Music album by Ray Charles. This was back in the early 60'sso obviously I am as my daughter describes me "Older than dirt."

      Merle Travis wrote it, but Ford made it famous. I really love Geoff's interpretation of the song! Still a relevant message today.

    WOW! I could've sworn that you'd already done Oogie Boogie, but apparently not. Others to check out by Voiceplay are "Warriors" and their original called "Just Sing" (make sure you have the captions on for this one though, trust me it'll help a LOT). Also Geoff has several solo tracks and I recommend "Blackbird" and "the Headless Horseman".

    For something completely different you might enjoy Boz Scaggs song "Lowdown" this backup later became the band Toto. Very smooth.

    In days that the song was written,in Smalltown America,most people in town worked for 1 big company,the company owned the town,the houses the workers lived in belonged to the company,the company would have a store like Walmart and it would sell everything to the workers,so they were just handing their pay right back to the company.

    I've always loved Tennessee Ernie Ford since I was a kid. Love his voice. I had a little girl crush. I was 5 the first time I heard him sing. No one can sing it like Tennessee Ernie Ford. Period.

    My favorite solo Geoff song is the Beatles "Blackbird" cover. Lots of highs and lows.

    Glad you are back that was definitely a nice old song I remember hearing decades ago that has stuck and still speaks to the hell that exists in corporations.
    It would be awesome if you would check out
    ALPHA STREAM - Tim Storms - Lonesome Road
    Tim Storms goes real deep in this one.

    Voice Play(Geoff’s group) competed with Home Free in the 4th season of The Sing Off. And it seems most of the a cappella groups collaborate with each other at times.

    I loved Tennessee Ernie Ford's version and this one is as good, if not better than, the former. However, I would like to hear the original again.

    The getting deeper in dept was a reference to how mining companies would charge more for food and rent than the workers would make. So they would work all day and then pay it back for living expenses

    Voiceplay have just released a cover of Viking song My Mother Told Me and that's awesome too! Anything Geoff does is fabulous. Love his covers of Blackbird and High and Dry too.

    This song was originally by Tennessee Ernie Ford. Tennessee grew up in Bristol, TN in upper East Tennessee. This song is about the relationship between the miners and the mining company. 16 tons of coal was required per shift. If you got less than that they docked your pay. Miners did not get a paycheck. They were given "store credit" to pay their rent and utilities as well as get household items and food from the company store. They were always and forever essentially slaves to the mining company.

    This song originally came out in 1955. "Walk the Line" was from 1957, and Johnny Cash would've known of it. He might have taken the line from here, instead of the other way around.
