I absolutely loved this. This really makes me wish there was a black voice teachers of America association where we could have these discussions that validate and affirm the science behind black voices.
THANK YOU! This would be AMAZING. There was actually a group formulated on Facebook a few years ago by a colleague/mentor of mine. I think it could be time to reignite it.
@@jmlegrairstudio Yes please!!! The time is surely now! ...Excellent idea @Quade Norah!
... just want to add we can go back in time literally! Ella Fitzgerald, Mahalia Jackson so so so many R&B Goddesses! Enough data to carry the next generation!
@@LuvSol427 Oh you're VERY correct. I want to OLD and NEW.
@@jmlegrairstudio Yes!!! The New keeps our legacy alive!!!
Let’s not ignore how powerful a pianist she is, as demonstrated in this piece.
Seriously! She’s a Master of Jazz, Gospel, and makes it her own!
She’s classically trained in piano and violin on top of being the greatest vocalist to ever live
The most slept on vocalist in the world! And one of the greatest of all time! Her voice is a whole orchestra💚💚💚💚
Bc its annoying. Who has time for this..
Axé - strung out on her for a decade. Miss her so much!
Her voice is an instrument! She’s not afraid to make them ugly faces to make that instrument produce the best sounds. I’m so glad you did her. No one and I mean no one can do what she does. Favorite female artist. And then Leandrea Johnson and Keke Wyatt
THE ONLY 2 I WOULD ADD WOULD BE LEDISI N
TAMIA
@@reenie85churchin And Lalah Hathaway.
It is clear...Rachelle takes the listener on a sonic journey. One doesn't just hear a voice--you go through an EXPERIENCE of sound. AMAZING!!!
YES!!! …and a brilliant song writer, composer, and masterful pianist. She is ART. ❤️
She is a family friend and trust she is classically trained and knows EXACTLY how to use her voice. She calls it and uses it as her instrument. BTW - I love your page!!!
I figured she was!
Thank youuuuu!!
Please, tell her that we love her … still! I carry her in my heart and my thoughts go up as prayers!
WOW! To personally know someone who’s so outstanding talented is a blessing. She strikes me & as vibrant & full-of-life. OMGosh!
OMG!!! You are blessed!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!!!!!!! NO voice in the word like hers! She ALWAYS brings me to tears!!!!!💞💓💞💓💞
@@jmlegrairstudio She alShe also went to Berklee
I mean the playing alone takes me out!!! Then we add her voice... 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm soooo glad you pointed out her piano playing skills. 👌🏾
Say it, AGAIN!!!
I saw Rachelle Ferrell live when she came to Atlanta. She ran up and down those scales like a triathlon! Had me #Shouting
I bet she did! I would have too! 😂
Right didn’t she! Whewww 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Exactly.. she's an experience
She's a beast. I saw this lady 3 times in person and gave her everything and left it on the floor. She is not to be played with!!!
Rochelle is an ENTIRE walking TEXTBOOK of voice as an instrument
That part!!! 👈🏾
I think she knows everything that she is doing with her voice, she’s very intentional, I think she just plays around with her voice in song, she’s brilliant enough to pull it All off!
You are the real deal, because there many ppl who have slept & still sleeping 💤 on Ms Rachel Ferrell who’s been around since the 80 s, she’s a baaaaaad sista!!! A legend who has never been honored yet main stream. She was Bernie Mac s favorite singer, the sista is a beast!!!
Yes! EV-ER-Y THANG YOU JUST SAID! I've been following her since the 90s. Brilliant. And all of the real singers (Anita Baker, Lalah Hathaway, Rahsaan Patterson) know that she's the queen. Didn't know about Bernie Mac, though. I love that!
Absolutely. She teaches vocal coaching as well as performing.
Straight 😴😴😴 on Ms. Ferrell
@Soulsista No QUESTION! THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS SONG LIVE ,I WAS ADDICTED TO IT SHE WORE IT OUT!! PLAYED IT AT LEAST 15-20 TIMES, MY NEIGHBOR WAS STOMPING ON THE FLOOR! I told her to go to bed and shut up this is my all-time unique rare artistic she is without a doubt in her own lane and under celebrated I would have loved to hear her with Daryl Coley two beasts
The scientist of musicianship herself, her control and masterclass on vocals really can teach someone how to sing a riff or run RIGHT👏🏼✨👑✨👏🏼
Yep! She is a Masterclass by herself!
The scientist of sound!
Yea her vocals are superb but let’s talk about her 🎹 skills geez
This woman can sing Mary Had A Little Lamb & she will give you the business! The most unbelievable voice ever! PERIOD! Been a fan for years! Love me some Ms. Farrell!!!
She is so underrated it's a damn shame. Saw her perform live and she is unreal!!!
Just plain ol' underestimated, underpaid I'm sure, and still undiscovered. Phenomenal.... Her range is incredible 😍 👏
She's absolutely legendary overseas, almost royalty!
I almost HATE that I found this 2 years later. Since knowing of this channel recently, I've wondered if you ever covered Rochelle. She's A VOCAL GIANT!!!
Rachelle Ferrell is a vocal alien! The way she sings and contorts her face, mouth, and body! Her whole thoak,-yes t-h-o-a-k- is anoited. Jaron, I love your videos. Your voice is truly anoited as well!
I adore how she uses her voice to illustrate her words ❤❤
I saw her in Atlanta and the sound system went out, but she kept singing. She said you don't mind if I keep singing ..can you hear me in the back. It was magnificent!!!
Rachelle is my favorite!...no one's a better singer than her!
Mic drop!!! 🎤
I love the way she sings My Funny Valentine! You gotta appreciate the art of singing to know about her. She’s definitely a master of the craft.
Dang this dude is good and just good vibes
I appreciate that!
You have an AMAZING voice yourself. I appreciate your appreciation of Rachelle's gift.
She’s In Another Stratosphere Whewww Perfect Commentary ☺️
Love Rachelle music, saw her at the Wiltern with Will Downing. She received 3 standing ovations. Simply out of this world. The Baddest vocalist, and holds the longest note on the planet while running up and down the scale. She is well aware of her genius. And so are we.
Let's talk about the amazing piano playing along with that dynamic vocal ability...dude
He is masterful!!!! There is gift and then there is technique which is mastery!!!! This woman can not only sing she knows her voice and what she is working with. I have seen her live and she is beyond phenomenal. Hands down she is a master
I am kinda speechless..... between the great Rachelle and then your teaching..... and your voice! 💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you! Wow!
I’ve seen Rachelle sing I Can Explain multiple times in person and each time she got to “you’ve got somebody else” it felt like the walls around me were gonna fall down because folks were stomping and clapping and leaping up outta their chairs. I’ve never seen anyone absolutely shred an audience’s reserve the way she does. She owns her instrument with 100% intention!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I was in Awe seeing her in concert. I've never seen another in concert that can top her. Her Instrument is GOD given and I was Blessed to witness her in person.
I absolutely adore Rachelle, she is indeed the vocalist's vocalist.
Rachelle is a freaking BEAST OMG!!!! She gives a buffet of notes!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
A VOCALIST EXTRAORDINAIRE !!! You are definitely bringing the best Female vocalist to the forefront. Love this !!!
Wow, thank you!
Most under rated female vocalist. Nobody, like her. She never gets old. Most real music lovers know of her vocal acrobatics. Love, love, love her. Her and Al Jarreau live amazing nothing like it.
Ok, this is type of vocal coach I want to listen to....on point!
Wow thank you so much!
A phenomenon. I’ve seen her live 3 times once in a lifetime voice
What a blessing! WOW 😮
Me too and it was a gift to be able to experience seeing her 3 times. I was flabbergasted in a good way
I saw her live 20 yrs ago. Gives me chills thinking about it. She an artist like jazmine sullivan. The live performance is better than the album.
I love love Rachelle Farrell. She doesn't get the respect she deserves.
At all! Deserved way more.
@@jmlegrairstudio I love your reviews. And I'm so happy that I found your channel.
I knew this was going to be good. This woman is... the gift
Rachelle Ferrell is an absolutely incredibly gifted singer! Just amazing. She is definitely one of a kind. Your analysis of any artist my Friend, is just as incredible. You are so captivating with your analysis. Love it. I’m so glad I stumbled onto your Channel💙
Thank you so much! She was so fun to do. I may do another one of hers.
@@jmlegrairstudio god bless you
@@jmlegrairstudio Please her with the George Duke Band, song 'Waiting'
I absolutely LOVE this women. Her voice amazes me...
Words to live by..."on the other side of fear, is more artistry" We need that on a tee-shirt. I know my dance teacher use to get at me when they saw me pulling back and afraid to step into that next stage of dance artistry.
Bro you said She is gifted, she is excellent but you did which Everything she did. İ think you are gifted as much as she has. İm not surprise that you are not to be surprised. Cause i bet your are one of her clan. You have amazing voice too :))
Wow thank you! I sneak in a little singing every now and then hahaha but she is amazing. Thank you for the kind words!
I agree!! Jaron you are incredible. So much respect for you as a vocal coach. Very intelligent in music analysis. 💙❤
Your locs are beautiful as is your well-informed commentary.
Oh wow! Thank you so much. Seriously.
I'm certain she's crazy as hell. Because no man or woman in their right mind can accomplish this. And I absolutely love it!! 😍❤
Love you too! Thanks for blessing us with this channel, my friend! ❤
Yeah she’s a unicorn lol THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
She's a Gemini...lol...get you one!
We're otherworldly! We're an experience!
I love that you focus on the premiere vocalists!!! I appreciate you!!!
Always! Thank you!
This type of analysis is very refreshing
Thank yoU!
Love Rachelle…..so underrated
She uses her whooooole body! I used to think it was weird but I’m older now and understand it
She is awesome a true controlled singer. She intentional go where she what to go. I think she knows what she is doing. Great.🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵😌
Indeed
She's soooooo goood. Just the mastery of her voice and her experimental instincts are like no one else I've ever heard. I loved hearing your analysis!
Indeed! And thank you!
You are spot on your assessment....she is one of the best vocalist ever
I appreciate this! And yes she is TOP NOTCH.
She and Al Jarreau are my absolute favorite artists! Thank you for this. Do Al please!!!!!
Noted!
She is unmatched vocally 🎤🎼❤️❤️
This was amazing to watch. I've never seen anyone analyze Rachelle's singing. I'm so glad to see it. She is my favorite artist of all time, and like you, I agree this vocal talent is unmatched! I've been to more concerts of hers than I can count. I wish I could sing lol. Please review more of her!!
I'm glad you enjoyed! Yeah she is UNMATCHED.
She is my favorite female jazz vocalist as well. I am only half way through the video and I am moved to tears! My first time hearing her was a duet she sang with Will Downing, Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This and I looked for her music from then on. I love her so much.
You’re AMAZING I love your analysis on everyone
I appreciate it!
Loving Memories factttts
I just discovered him and has been hooked. Anatomy lessons. Theory. Demonstrations. Knowledgeable. Wisdom.✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔
13:10-13:25 BABYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I think I was the only 12 year old listening to Rachelle! She’s my Auntie in my head.
Gosh her voice gives me CHILLS
By far the greatest vocalist of the past century.....
I've been a fan of Rachelle Ferrell since day one I have never ever witness singing done like that in my life she sounds like a finely tuned instrument she's in a class all by her self and in person all I can say is wow oh and for those of you who's never heard her brother sing he's just as gifted as she is
I love your analysis and teaching!!! New subbie!!!
This was probably one of her most scaled back performances. If you EVER get a chance to see her LIVE, it is a MUST! She introduces each band member by vocally battling their instrument! It's so FREAKING EXTRAORDINARY!!! Been to over 20 shows, never the same, yet always stupendous!!!
Thank youuuuuu! 🤩
@@jmlegrairstudio Found out this was a closed rehearsal to work out some things, as she was under the weather 😮
Okay sir! I thought I was going to lose my mind when the incomparable Rachelle Farrell came up on the playlist. She usually doesn't make it look pretty, but it's beautiful all at the same time. She is another one of my favs!
There’s no one like her, ever!!!!
I'm just sitting here with Goosebumps all over. That girl is the best. Love U Rachelle.
When it comes to vocal acrobatics, range and breath control she wears the 👑
So underrated, she can sang. Can you imagine, if her and Thomas Whitfield would have can together and done some music.
Right!? Man oh man. Would be wonderful.
Yeah, she could change the 70's music history!
Underrated by who? He said at the beginning that she is a “vocalist’s vocalist”, which is 💯 percent true. She’s a legend.
@@johnlovestosing04 a lot of people really don’t know who she is.
Rachelle Farrell, Anita Baker, and Lalah Hathaway are my Fairy Vocal Godmothers. I swear I see God when Ms. Farrell sings.
I am really listening in to tour breakdowns as well. I'm a singer as well. 45, but one is never to old for lessons lol. Thank you so much for this video. ❤️❤️❤️
Whatever unique move she does with her voice her recovery is what keeps you on edge. She has me in tears and she's one of my favorites. Your analysis was on point, loved it. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Well said! And THANK YOU!
OMG!!!!! I will always love this woman’s voice....... I fell in love with her singing after I saw her in concert with Will Downing many years ago......
This channel is just awesome. A channel after my heart. Black music interpretation. And this analysis of Ms. Ferrell, no words. Excellence on steroids.
Wow! I appreciate this! SO MUCH. You have NO idea.
And you have a great voice yourself Jaron!...a Duet with Jaron & Rachelle, let's hear it, hehe.
That would be funnnn hahaha
@@jmlegrairstudio my edges would be completely gone!
She is your favorite singers favorite singer.
One of my most favorite singers!!! Haven't heard this version. She's top notch!!! Love her so much!
Yes!!!!! I love her and unique style of mouthing her words. Saw her in concert and her vocal range is not of this world.
Rachelle Ferrell is the GOAT but Brother Jaron you have taught me some terms I had to look up: glissando, glottal onset, articulatory modification, registration to registration, squall, etc. LOL...When is the book coming out that analyzes, describes and categorizes the various, distinctive African American vocal styles?? Great job!!
Oh wow! I’m glad I helped a little! 🖤🖤🙌🏾🙌🏾🚀🚀
I need that book!!!
She always gives me chills!!
I remember Rachelle years and years ago (probably… 2008) here in Milan (Italy). During the show the power went out but she kept the concentration, singing without amplification through the whole song. I was definitely mesmerized by her talent and vocal ability.
The gem of that night for me has been My Funny Valentine: very emotional (with unexpected high notes at the end)! ❤
Take care dear Rachelle, we all love you, and we’re patiently waiting til you come back to us!
🤍
(Great video as usual! Thank you!)
This is one of my most favorite singers.
Fantastic singing Legend Rachelle Ferrell
Your teaching is so engaging thank you for your knowledge.
Please explore another favorite Lala Hathaway. Thank you
Oh Lalah is on my list!
Thank you!
Lalah also happens to be a great friend of Rachelle’s. She has done numerous shows and performances with Rachelle Ferrell. Ledisi, Jennifer Hudson, Rahsaan, Anita Baker, and even Chante Moore love and are aware of this ladies savage vocal abilities. They love and adore her just as I do.
@@jmlegrairstudio l
Rachelle is my favorite singer! I think unpacking “Everything Must Change,” would have been great because she did some unimaginable things in that song.
Her first solo album debuted in 1992 overseas. It wasn't released in the states until 1995. The CD is called 'My First Instrument'. She turned pro before age 13.
She's a Gemini...Prince, Patti...
She is my ultimate favorite! You are great with interpreting her voice as well. I closet sing to Rachelle! You sang for real!
Thank youuuuu!
My absolute favorite singer. Ever.
I applaud you because when you use your voice to demonstrate what she is doing musically, and it helps us understand singing terminology. You are teaching us both as listeners and the future singers.
Have no idea what you were talking about, but I enjoyed the analyzation. Thank you for sharing.
Thank ya!
Wow I’ve never seen her play the piano. Just wow! How do people get all this talent in one body.
Incredible! Truly a gifted musician!….their is no one like her on earth ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤩💯
I love how you break it down to a science I always wanted to take vocal lessons I always wanted to perfect the falsetto.
I thought I was gonna pass out! She’s fabulous!!!
Love the analysis, as I've heard other ones on her, & your one who actually has the GIFTED voice to explain what she's DOING; which helps a ton. Though I'm a dancer/choreographer (retired now), I was raised "triple-threat (dance, sing, & play instruments was mandatory...acting and other hobbies a strong recommendation.. 😂), so I grew up in the time of talk about things you can ACTUALLY DO. So, this is VERY refreshingggg.
Rachelle Farrell, of course is a vocal phenomenon (as are you), and in the 80s when I first heard her, it was her way to approach SOUND, that made me attracted to her "position in space, energy, frequency, & time"; as few I've met comprehend the family of "sound/voice/movement/music"; which I cherished in a 40 consistent years as a dancer.....let the voice and musicianship go around 21 years young.
I'll DEFINITELY watch more of ur analysis with other singers, as I'm overly impressed with your vocal control, & patience to REALLY breakdown what is being heard, not being heard, should be heard, when/where it's heard, & where it's being pushed from to be heard.
😂 😂 The ONLY thing I was waiting for was the comment, "oh, y'all, she's DOING ALL THAT, while playing the piano VERY WELL!!" 😂
LOVE: THE HUMAN DNA
Thank you! ✨🙌🏾
Listen I could only cram so much in the video! 😂😂
@@jmlegrairstudio i KNOW 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just a child performer & GIFTED lover of the ARTS; as YOU KNOW WE get excited and don't KNOW when to stop talking about what WE love (as it's rare people TRULY ever get what WE're DOING or talking about🤣🤣). Love this channel.
You are the only person I have seen create/demonstrate her sound with skill. Stunning. I am enjoying your posts on Insta. Glad to find you here to. Grateful for your service.
And it’s also understanding that she sang this song with the intention of the emotion of the song….❤️❤️❤️
Young man you did a wonderful job in
Explaining the voice and sounds of the singer Rachel. You made it so simple and you articulated extremely well where I can understand and learn from your explanation of the sounds of this wonderful female vocalist. I thank you and I will be looking to see more of your videos because you made it interesting in explaining the sound of this singer.
Thank you so much! I appreciate this. 🚀
I don’t sing at all but I’ve found these vocal reactions so relaxing. Usually I can never find videos of people reacting to my favs and you haven’t disappointed at all!! You should react to Yolanda Adam’s I believe I can fly, and glory with common. Also, Jill Scott’s, he loves me!!
I love this. I love talking about artists who aren't normally talked about much. So this warms my heart!
She's amazing, like a vocal gymnast I love her
What an instrument 😲🤩
Title of her solo debut, 'My First Instrument'
I love her singing expressly her facial expression. Now because Jaron now I know the words. I love making noise and playing with my vocabulary words. All different ways. I would do it especially, when I was bored or get on ppl nerves when I was younger. Looking at him and videos I learning alot. Thank you so much.
I love this!
I've been binge watching all of your voice analysis all day...!
I have liked, subscribed and now I'm commenting...
Ms. Rachelle is the universe's choir director and owner...
#MissChristineChronicles
Why did this video feel like it was 2 hours but I did not want it to end!!! She is cold 🥶; Yikes I can listen to her all day!!!! This that love making sound🎶
Side note......damn and ok for mimicking every freaking note :)
Hahaha well thank you!
