    Bee Gees wrote so many great songs. And I can't imagine anyone but Bonnet singing this. The Marble's '68 version is amazing. Graham still has an amazing voice.

    He's not a young man any more but still sings with the same passion and soul. A delight still to hear Mr Bonnet and what a timeless song thank-you. In the same time and league as Tony Christie a different generation of class singers and a very rare breed these days.

    For those who don't know when you get older your voice matures and usually deepens so the fact he can still sing this so well is amazing if you look at Elton john Billy Joel ect ect they are unable to sing songs they sang in the 70s in the same pitch ect,so great job Graham in my book

    • @into.the.wood.chipper.
      @into.the.wood.chipper. 4 роки тому +1

      You can reverse it, though. The voice deepens, yes. Counter that with squeaky falsetto exercises, the kind that go to whistle higher up. That will rebalance your voice. Deepened voice means stronger and more dominant thickening of the vocal cords with less elasticity in the stretchers. Stretch the stretchers, and practice closure without the thickeners, and your voice will sound as young as it ever was.
      My voice also aged, and teachers couldn't figure out how to fix it, thinking the thickeners were too weak. No! They were too strong- and it pulled my speaking voice down an octave, making the high range too heavy to get into! I found the solution myself through experimentation across 6 years, gained all the old range back and then some, and am now using the same conclusions to fix other singers' voices. A longtime friend who didn't think it would work is singing easier and stronger after trying my approach.
      I'm 42 and sound 21, with the speaking pitch back up around C3, where it's supposed to be. It IS possible to turn back the clock on your voice.

      I agree. I've loved this song since I first heard it in 1968. I saw The Marbles perform it at the NME Poll Concert that year. He needs to drop down at least a key.

    • @mikthe2004
      @mikthe2004 2 роки тому +1

      @@gbtbag I'd say 3 keys. I'm a 60 yr old singer myself, but even when I was younger I had to drop most songs down about 3 semi tones, and women's songs up about 3 semitones. Graham is really struggling. His high notes just disappear!!

  • @totallyunmemorable
    @totallyunmemorable 2 роки тому +4

    You detractors need to realize the difference between studio and live recordings. Graham hit every note he was going for here. But because of mic distance, improvising (departing from the original melody), and other factors you're hearing it as poor performance. Many times singers will do things in the studio that they can't consistently repeat live. Graham is no different. The object is to make a great record, first and foremost. Studio is about perfection. Live is about energy. It's a different animal. But Graham remains the best. He seemed to have a rough period around the time his wife left, but now he's back in fine fettle (look it up).

    He pulls chest and sings too hard so his head voice gives out. I guess that’s what he’s always been doing since the 70’s. Strange because watching this it’s clear he understands the technique. It’s a choice he is making to sing loud like that.

    • @into.the.wood.chipper.
      @into.the.wood.chipper. 4 роки тому

      You can sing loud without pulling chest, while still being in chest. It's like a magic trick, but it is also not pure chest voice. It's not mix, either. Best part, is that you can build this at a quiet volume and make it loud when you want to. Without straining or going hoarse.

    He should have been part of the current Rainbow reformation - he's still got it all - passion, charisma, talent, class, huge stage presence and an amazing vocal range. Actually, when you put it like that he was all of classic Rainbow combined. Well, nearly. Ritchie wanted to get the DP MK II back together a couple of years ago and was metaphorically spat at by his former band mates so he reformed Rainbow and surrounded himself with lame, 3rd rate, artistically challenged no-hopers in a pathetic attempt to...well, what?

      Graham quit because there was a mess inside the Rainbow in late 1980. Richie was always away (drinking maybe?), Cozy left, Don left for a while, only 2-3 guys were rehearsing. Graham got pissed and left for MSG.

    @cjbartoz Рік тому

    Although I think he is a great singer for his age I think in this live performance he sometimes reaches up to much for the high notes. When the larynx moves up and down to much, it constricts your vocal cords, negatively affecting pitch control and the ability to sing key vowels or consonants in a given range.
    Everyone talks about not reaching up or pushing down when you sing, that everything should be on one level, pretty much where you speak at a normal volume, while still emoting and producing tones suitable for whatever music you’re performing. Why? Because the vocal cords adjust on a horizontal; therefore, there is no reason to reach up for a high note or dig down for a low one.
    Let’s take a guitar for a moment. If you were playing guitar and you shortened a string, the pitch goes up. The same thing with a piano, if you look at the piano. And the same thing happens with your vocal cords. They vibrate along their entire length up to an E flat or a E natural. And then they should begin to damp - the pitch slides forward on the front. So when you can assist that conditioning, then you go [further] up and there’s no problem to it. You don’t have to reach for high notes.
