One of the reasons I love Black Sabbath so much is because even their unfinished/unreleased “demos” are better than stuff from other bands that’s polished and officially released for airplay.
@@micharosa6201 No, it's a troll, just like you are, someone with nothing better to do than argue with a complete stranger online. I actually feel sorry for people like you. Have a nice day. :)
We can dispense with whether or not Jeff Fenholt was really in Black Sabbath, whether or not he's an asshole, and all that. Can we simply agree he's pretty fucking good on these demo tracks?
Blues Minot scales with some chromatic walkdowns...simple as can be. This riff sounds like it was a Blackmore rip off ...would have been right at home on perfect strangers.

OK, I just have to come out and say this. This song has been my guilty pleasure for the past two weeks. I love how Jeff Fenholt sang this because it doesn't sound like a Black Sabbath singer, it sounds like something else that is so wrong but so delicious at the same time. It's like listening to outtakes of amazing guitar solos that didn't make the final cut but that still resonate deep within your heart. Let it be known that this and the other 2 Fenholt audition tracks have been added to a UA-cam playlist I made ESPECIALLY for this audition. They're so good, even the "demos" are amazing! I love you, Black Sabbath.
I saw Jeff Fenholt preach in our church decades ago he said he sang for Black Sabbath... This is the first time that I heard him sing for them. I believed him then...but had my doubts until now.
Ozzy was good for the original sabbath stuff, but they were getting bored, and in constant disagreement with each other, they're had to be a split. The first solo Ozzy shit actually worked though. Guys like Fenholt and Ian Gillan are real singers though, they both played the part of Jesus in JCS.
i read his book of his testimony from darkness to light. what an amazing testimony. all praise to Yaweh God the father. heaven an earth may pass away but Jesus words will remain forever. i like this song. it could swimg eitherway .
Ohhhh-oh Pages of past, let my spirit flow, from the ancient land, from the coming of the dawn, visions of the door Star of India Hmmm I can feel the start, the scorchin' of the sun, faces cold and gray, and my life has just begun, oh Visions of the door Star of India yea oh-ho In the rivers of the day Flow like riders on the dawn...drowning One who turns from prayers my life has just begun Star of India Oh yea Star of India shape ahhh feeling my love Take my love take Iommi?:(shut me off) Call me from the pain I can shade my eyes some.

A Sabbath album with Fenholt would have been cool- though probably much the same as we got anyway with big voices like Dio, Gillan, Hughes and Tony Martin..
wow! i've heard everything Sabbath there is, or so I thought. guy sings really well. little lackluster in the writing department but it's a demo after all.
TheTaskmaster 3 years later and I thought I'd heard pretty much everything too. Clearly not! Think I like this more than the album track, and I like the album track a lot 😬
@husq48 Yes he did I used to watch him, He also played His role in Jesus Christ superstar, But I think he is a great singer with an awesome life story. He once asked us to pray for Iommi, which I and others did.
Jeff Fenholt (Original Star of "Jesus Christ Superstar") had an awesome voice. I refer everyone to his Testimony on UA-cam. He addresses his time with Black Sabbath and his reasoning for not staying with them at the end of it.
From Google, not sure if these are 100% accurate lyrics Pages of past, Let my spirit flow, From the ancient land, From the coming of the dawn, Visions of the door Star of india Hmmm I can feel the start, The scorchin' of the sun, Faces cold and gray, And my life has just begun, oh Visions of the door Star of India Yea Oh-ho In the rivers of the day Flow like riders on the dawn...drowning One who turns from prayers My life has just begun Star of India Oh yea Star of India Shape Ahhh Feeling my love Take my love take Iommi?:(shut me off) Call me from the pain I can shade my eyes some.

Definite evidence and proof Jeff Fenholt worked with Black Sabbath on the Seventh Star album. "Fenholt says several of his melodies were used in songs that appeared on Seventh Star (and subsequently did not receive credit for them)." Sounds about right! Use other musicians to write an album, then fire them, but keep some of their ideas. 7Th Star just happens to be one of my very favorite Sabbath albums.
"Iommi went on to say that he thought Fenholt had a good voice, but it didn't work, due to Fenholt having difficulty improvising any coherent lyrics during jam sessions." That sounds about right.
Possibly, maybe, but this a demo! Listen to Joshua's Surrender Rockin' The World! Have any issues with these lyrics and production? Seven years ago and you're out of it! I Won't have to see you in heaven! See you in the LIGHT Jeff Fenholt!
That's an utterly childish motivation. How could somebody ever be supposed to be improvising lyrics? It sounds like he claimed that a vocalist, to be called that, should fire off random lyrics with no sort of logic. Lyrics must be studied, analysed and eventually written before someone sings them, in order for that bunch of words not to remain what I just said they are. It's called basic syntax, you will study it in elementary school.
Jeff's voice was given to the glory of God....but his vocal ability is in top 1% comparable to ANY OF THE GREATEST ROCK VOCALISTS OF ALL TIME!!!! IN FACT, SUPERIOR!!!!
C'mon y'all! Fenholt's not a prick and he's not acting like he was "never with Sabbath because of his current position". I've met Jeff and he's a great guy. Now unless you consider session recordings to mean that some artist was "with" the band, then Jeff was never "with" Sabbath. However, Jeff ALWAYS says how much he respects Iommi and how he truly enjoyed his time working with him and what a great artist Iommi is. So please quit hatin', y'all ok? What good does it ever do to hate? Hate Satan!
jeff fenholt was a dynamic singer and the first guitarist of blacksabath he said no...he would not sell soul it was inthe contract ...i read it otherwise its hard to believe...jeff because of his tallent has made a normal living and is still a musician..and does some christian music also...he is everybit as good as toni iomi
Not really. Fenholt was never in Sabbath. Remember that Seventh Star was initially an Iommi solo project. Fenholt's contributions can be debated with regards to that solo endeavor, but not whether or not he was in Sabbath...because he wasn't. Besides...Seigler already knew about these tracks; I'm not posting anything an extreme diehard Sabbath fan wouldn't already know about...it's just that some have never heard them.
Facebook's ONLY, COMPLETE BLACK SABBATH PAGE Look for us on facebook! All aspects of the band Black Sabbath from A-Z are discussed, even this small bit of history!
Jeff was already a televagelist when he auditioned for Iommi. I guess he thought he needed "Sinner Street Cred", which he didn't need since he was having an affair with a 95 year old sugar moma who gave him a million dollar painting. I think it was a Salvidor Dali. But the real money isn't in music, its in tele-Jesus. Fenholt claimed once that he was THE singer for Black Sabbath, not A singer for BS. Mendacity seems to be a Protestant trait, as well TV Crimes.
Later ill be "...hear the call of the Seventh star..". Great song in whatever demo or final release, and what good voice of Fenholt. I think that the Hughes "Seventh Star" its better only beacuse its he who sing and the precious intro.
Very impressive! I honestly think Iommi settled for second best with Glenn Hughes. Fenholt has a greater vocal range and his vocals on this track are on a par with the late Ronnie James Dio IMO.
This isn't too bad. He has decent pipes. That being said, I think Tony made the right move ditching Jeff bringing in an experienced professional like Glenn Hughes, even with Glenn's baggage. The official album with Glenn sounds great, and his voice completes it. Too bad he was out of Shape from binging on Mars Bars and blow, then got punched in the face for being a dick at beginning of the tour.
Considero una versión mejor que la definitiva de Seveth Star. La voz de Fenholt se aproxima mucho a la de Glenn Hughes , se destaca mucho más y como interactua con el solo
lol that is great! it is true...i really cant understand what this guy is saying. you can tell it is english but you cant understand the words he is saying.
Jeff Fenholt was Jesus in the touring and Broadway productions of JCSS. When Fenholt was hired, Ian Gillan was supposed to do the play, and Fenholt was Gillan's understudy, but Gillan dropped out and Fenholt was moved to the lead position, and then Ted Neely - the guy who wound up in the movie - was brought in as Fenholt's understudy. Make no mistake, Jeff Fenholt is an amazing singer who is trained in opera, and has a music degree. Unlike most rock singers - he really does know what he is doing as a singer. Was he in Sabbath? I would say no, but for sensationalist reasons they ran with that idea. He obviously sang on these demo's, and it did get released as a "Black Sabbath", but to claim he was the lead singer in Black Sabbath was somewhat disingenuous, but it got his name around - and that is the name of the game in celebrity circles.
Chris Geoffrey Ian Gillan is on the original recording. he did the title role when he was in Deep Purple. he rejected the lead role on stage because Deep Purple was not going to be part of the stage production. Yes, Fenholt has an incredible voice, very underrated.
This album was supposed to be a solo album for Iommi it only became a Sabbath album after Glenn Hughes came on board wrote coherent lyrics and reworked all of the vocal melodies so Fenholt not only wasn't in Sabbath he doesn't have the right to say his contributions went uncredited. He has no contributions on the final result and he's your typical hypocritical evangelist looking to capitalize on anything he can. Still not a bad singer though

Thank you Iommi for the timeless riffs .

'How Great Thou Art'
from Jeff
I saw Jeff Fenholt preach in our church decades ago he said he sang for Black Sabbath... This is the first time that I heard him sing for them. I believed him then...but had my doubts until now.
I'm mesmerized by this song... great riifs... great vocals... great song...
i know it just amazaes me not more people know about this era
RIP Jeff!
Great Singer 🎤🎶🎼🎵😎👊
Tremendous riff
An outstanding session that would lead to the stuff we finally heard on 7th Star. Love this and Fenholt's treatment, too.
Todos os cantores que passaram pelo Sabbath tiveram ótima fase, eles são muito bons no que fazem 😃
Greats Singers 🎤🎶🎼🎵😎👊
Uf y cuantos pasaron por Sabbath? Se corrio el rrumor de que David Coverdale podria ser el vocalista...
This material needs an official release.
It was officially released on the 2cd version of seventh star, Goodluck getting your hands on it though
great voice men!! amazing band!
Jeff had a great voice!
way too good for stupid Sabbath
This is arguably better than some of ozzys stuff ngl
Ozzy was good for the original sabbath stuff, but they were getting bored, and in constant disagreement with each other, they're had to be a split. The first solo Ozzy shit actually worked though. Guys like Fenholt and Ian Gillan are real singers though, they both played the part of Jesus in JCS.
Jeff sure had a voice from God. See you in heaven Jeff
Amen
Rip Jeff fenholt
Great song! Great singer!
Love this song.
This is Tony Iommi working on his suposedly first solo album,the management made him call it Black Sabbath.
I heard years ago,He was still under contract to put out another Sabbath album,Thats why he had to put the Sabbath name on it
@@Apostolic757 Thanks for the info! 👍
Cool Vocals!!
I prefer Seventh Star, but still, holy crap what a great song! Love the high notes!
É impossível decidir entre Fenholt e Hughes. Cada um foi insuperável em seu auge.
Jeff Fenholt for the win!
i read his book of his testimony from darkness to light. what an amazing testimony. all praise to Yaweh God the father. heaven an earth may pass away but Jesus words will remain forever. i like this song. it could swimg eitherway .
good drums , good vocals and ofc good riff :)
You are damn right Randall, totally agree with you
😮They have some of the best vocalists.
Apesar de todo esse troca-troca de vocal, o Black Sabbath sempre trouxe ótimos cantores.
E todos melhores que Ozzy! Principalmente tecnicamente...
Exatamente, só vocalistas fenomenais🎤🎵🎶🎵🎶🎤
@@jackreacher5395fato, talvez só o Tony Martin cante menos que o Ozzy dentre todos os vocalistas que a banda teve, porém era mais técnico
Great voice! He sounds like Hughes in the Highs!
At no point do I hear him matching Glenn at any register here. He comes close on the highs, but he's flat on those notes. Glenn hits them true.
I think he is a great singer, Hughes was just ok in my opinion!
Its like Tony was trying to make his own Cashmir
Huge Iommy fan here and yes it does sound inspired by Kashmir. You got a good ear. 🎸

O tema "asiático" é simplesmente fantástico. Sempre fui fascinado pelos riffs do mestre Iommi

True
Jeff Fenholt was an employee of Tony Iommi and the Black Sabbath group.
Everybody was employee of Tony Iommi after 1983.
A better song than the reworked?
Тони Айоми -великий генератор риффов!!!
You people do realize that this is the song Seventh Star but with a different title and lyrics??
What are you talkink about? Fenholt played the Sabbath card to the hilt!

Great album, not the best but like brockDI said theses demos are pure gold.
The guy sounded interesting, had a powerful voice, but I don't like his melodies, its kinda lost.
Sounds like Nicolls on bass.
This is not Black Sabbath. only a Tony Iommi solo.

lol that is great!
it is true...i really cant understand what this guy is saying. you can tell it is english but you cant understand the words he is saying.
And then came Glenn Hughes...
That's right 🐶🐕
the main riff sounds like Zep's Kasmir...da da da dadada dadada.
Hang on, I always thought it was Ian Gillan doing the vocals in Jesus Christ Superstar, at least the televised version?
Indeed. Jeff just sang a live version of it in 1971 (the first authorized concert in the US)
Jeff Fenholt was Jesus in the touring and Broadway productions of JCSS. When Fenholt was hired, Ian Gillan was supposed to do the play, and Fenholt was Gillan's understudy, but Gillan dropped out and Fenholt was moved to the lead position, and then Ted Neely - the guy who wound up in the movie - was brought in as Fenholt's understudy.

Chris Geoffrey Ian Gillan is on the original recording. he did the title role when he was in Deep Purple. he rejected the lead role on stage because Deep Purple was not going to be part of the stage production. Yes, Fenholt has an incredible voice, very underrated.
Agreed.
Vocals a little like Lou Gramm from Foreigner
I hear kind of a cross between Lou Gramm and David Coverdale. He would have been a great R&B, Blues or Soul singer.
This album was supposed to be a solo album for Iommi it only became a Sabbath album after Glenn Hughes came on board wrote coherent lyrics and reworked all of the vocal melodies so Fenholt not only wasn't in Sabbath he doesn't have the right to say his contributions went uncredited. He has no contributions on the final result and he's your typical hypocritical evangelist looking to capitalize on anything he can. Still not a bad singer though
Would have enjoyed hearing Jeff Fenholt sing, "After and Forever" from The Master of Reality album.
