I'm a big Al Jarreau fan, and his version of this song is spectacular. But this....THIS....this is next level. WOW. After watching a few of your Morissette reactions, and now this one, you absolutely have a fan for life in me. 😁 Oh, and since you love Morissette and Gary V so much (who doesn't?), please check out Morissette's "Could You Be Messiah?" written by Gary. Warning: have some tissues ready. You two are priceless!
"Spain" was composed by Joaquin Rodrigo in 1939 with a long history of instrumental adaptations until keyboard genius Chick Corea wrote the jazz fusion lyrics in 1971 and released the album "Light As A Feather" with Corea (Rhodes electric piano), Flora Purim (vocals and percussion), Stanley Clarke (bass), Airto Moreira (drums), and Joe Farrell (flute), and made it a jazz standard by 1973. "Spain" was recorded in several versions, by Corea himself as well as by other artists, including a flamenco version by Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin in the 1980s, and a progressive bluegrass version by Bela Fleck in 1979. Corea also performed it as a duo with Japanese pianist Hiromi Uehara. The phenomenal jazz quartet Manhattan Transfer also did their own version that captured the attention of those who were not really into jazz. The Light as a Feather version of "Spain" received two Grammy nominations, for Best Instrumental Arrangement and for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Group. In 2001, Corea was awarded the Best Instrumental Arrangement Grammy for "Spain for Sextet and Orchestra". Al Jarreau came into the picture much later when Chick Corea corroborated with him and with Artie Marten to rewrite the song into jazz fusion, and Jarreau made this popular during his world tour in an album titled "I Can Recall" in 1980. Improvisation is most notable in jazz so listen to how Al Jarreau attacks it with his own scat. facebook.com/AlJarreauOfficial/videos/1022121694523395/ In my humble opinion, Gary Valenciano's cover is far more challenging than that of Al Jarreau because he scatted all the instrumental parts while Jarreau did not. BTW: Gary coached Michael Pangilinan as well as Katrina Velarde.
That was his signature song when he was starting out at Tavern in the Square in the early 80s. Used to watch him singing. He’s in his mid 50s and has grandchildren already!
This is why he was branded in the philippines as the one and only Mr Pure Energy. Thumbs up if you agree that he still lives to his title, because i sure do. 😁 this guy is always gonna be my favorite singer. He had gotten even better through time. He sings with so much soul and energy. Dang he just so great! Thanks bubs and doe!
It's great to hear you say that the other artist that gave you that roller coaster feeling is KZ. Quite ironic as well when KZ started out in X Factor Philippines Gary V. is one of those judges who was also wowed by her performance. I guess you guys really love roller coasters.😁
I'm so fortunate to have witnessed Gary's beginning as a performer when he was a college student in La Salle in the 80s. He performed Billy Jean & Beat It complete with Michael Jackson's moves and singing style in the gymnasium before he became a professional singer. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that he would be a big superstar and he did accomplished stardom in less than a year after he graduated in college. Kuh featured Gary in one of her major concerts in Folk Arts Theatre when Gary was not known then during that time. That was his first major exposure to the public and the Filipinos fell in love with him almost in an instant. He is also one of the kindest, humble & down to earth artists I've known. He's a true Christian. He's very polite & respectful since college days and stardom didn't change him at all. He treats people with dignity & respect. I just have a hard time digesting that he's already a grandfather but he could still dance like Michael Jackson's moonwalking and all that crazy moves that would surely put me 6 feet below the ground😂
You guys haven't even acknowledge the fact that he's 55 frickin years old. Also, you should see him dancing. He's got some vids in YT with his son and with Jollibee.
@@John081590 ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???!!!! (pardon my language) He's DIABETIC? Okay, I just found my inspiration. I was diagnosed a few months ago (at age 35 😥). Excuse me while I go away to face my disease and beat it.
This is the best reaction I’ve watched over the years from Garry. ‘s performance. Doe you surely know your Jazz! I mist have wat hed your reaction gazillion times on this one; well, as well as the other ones you both did! In Tagalog, I’d say GRABE!!! Super OMG to most of your reactions! kudos to you ladies!
Gary just "skatted" (not sure if that is even a word) the amazement out of you two...😊 I always love your reactions and it makese happy just seeing you both happy listening to performances...😊
I love your reaction so much. Gary V is very well loved and respected in the Philippines. He is your mom and dads age too for sure. You need to see him dance also.
In the Philippines, before Pomoy, Amon, and the other young singers, he is being referred to as the "TOTAL PERFORMER".....HE SINGS AND DANCE ENERGETICALLY every time he had a concert.
I get the every same reaction as doe each time I watch/listen to this cover. Still gives me chills. Mr. Pure energy is one of the artist I idolized and he’s even better today. Thanks for this reaction video bubs and doe. 😊👍 like this very much. ☺️
Gary is a total performer.... awesome singer, dancer and musician who plays diff kinds of instruments. His kids are all top musicians too. Btw, the 2 of you are overloading with 😍😍😍
“Ya, like pew, pew, pew!” DEAD! 😂😂 love your guys’ channel!! Such earnest reactions and u can tell how good of friends u guys are! So much fun to watch!! 🥰🥰
Hahahaha.lol....so much laughter watching u both. Eye popping everytime.. hes not stopping huh?hehe...well,he really is the MR.PURE ENERGY here in phils. The HATAW KING... god bless u guys...
To be honest this bit of performance only shows a fraction of mr "pure energy" gary valenciano's true talent. Try to search for his performances when he was younger and his concerts,...those will blow you away.
Mr. Gary Valenciano is an icon here in the Philippines. He is called Mr. Pure Energy and total performer. He has outlived his juvenile diabetes and later his recent heart operation. He is truly a man of God. He is also a dancer, musical producer, coach, arranger and composer.
Here's an interesting connection. Gary V was in the jury panel when KZ auditioned for The Voice PH. Gary was very impressed with KZ. Loved Doe's reaction! I was mesmerized the first time I watched this video. I feel he deserves a vacation after that performance.
Yes!!! Gary V he was like the Micheal J of the Philippines in the 80's to 90's in dancing and singing... you should see him in his younger years, thanks gals for reacting on him, cheers from Aus
i once saw him singing the song at the us tour with Katrina Velarde. i thought to myself it would take me a year to learn the song and 3 more years for a duet haha. crazy song. and the dancing moves they did makes it even harder . you should watch it . its amazing
Bubs goes, "what is happening? !" I can't stop laughing....my sentiments exactly. 😂 I guess Doe is the only one who can fully grasp what's going on musically while the majority of us can just watch Gary with out mouths open. It's like being on a roller coaster ride enjoying the ride with excitement and awe.
Yes that's Mr. Pure Energy for you ! Been waiting for you ladies to react to this. Enjoyed your Gary V-esque reactions too. Thanks and may you have only good days ahead.
Yeah Yeah Yeah, I've told you 😉 he's the all-time personality in the show business industry in the Philippines, the "The Pure Energy, Gary V", 😉 how I wish you could see his dancing moves from the Michael Jackson's music & dance era 🔥 anyways, I would like to see you both to react on Khel's comeback to Wish Bus and Thanks for this --> "Michael Pangilinan performs "Rainbow" (Southborder) LIVE on Wish 107.5 Bus"
if you like Gary one of our best artists in the 80' i know you will love our other artists like Odette Quesada, Jaimie Rivera, Martin Nievera. trust me.

I've never seen anybody sing like this it's amazing
He is so tame there🤣
He's singing actually a rendition of Al Jiro's version but it's greater than maker of the version.
Doe, your reaction is so sincere and funny. That's why people love you guys.
Imagine him on stage and singing that song! He'll gonna dance like a teenager hahaha That's our Mr. Pure Energy!!!🇵🇭❤️

I love that Doe knows her jazz. A lot of reactors to Gary’s version of Spain I’ve seen in TH-cam don’t even know what scatting is LOL.
Doe is a perfect definition of HOW A REACTION VLOG is done 😂😂
If he's singin' it on stage, he can surely dance to the beat. That's our Mr. Pure Energy ❤
You know what's more freaking cool? Is when you see him dancing 🕺 that's why he's known as Mr. Pure Energy Gary V. 😁😊
