@@michaelhill9254 Yes Michael I've just seen the sad new, she's been in my thoughts for the last 6 days. I can't believe it. Thank you for posting.
Serious goosebumps. Ms Geyer was an artist of the first degree. Missed dearly.
Just heard the news.....Renee has passed due to complication of hip surgery. They found she had lung cancer whilst they were operating. Another talented soul gone too early. This ladys music is the memoris of my childhood and teen Summers here Australia. RIP Renee.....
RIP Renee.. One of my favourite female aussie singers. Thank you for the songs and the memories.
Paul Kelly wrote a great song about his friend Renee ' A Difficult Woman ' and she at first hated it , then came to love it as she accepted that it was indeed a good characterisation of herself. She had a very difficult life of ups and downs that kept the success, she truly deserved, from reaching it's full potential. However she was eagerly sought to sing back up for many famous American groups and artists on many successful releases. Though not pointedly acknowledged, she was much respected behind the scenes.
Chaka Khan was one, Sting Neil Diamond,she did alot of studio back vocals, there many many artist that just heard her voice and thought she was a black singer for sure. Loved Renee live, it was a year ago when I last saw her and she recognised me. I'd been coming to her shows for years, when I went up to her as I always did after her shows {when I could} to thank her she said you can come anytime and stop paying called her assistant told her the same we exchanged numbers emails and I never paid again. That's how generous she was. I have been so sad and gutted that we have lost her, she was so funny and kind. I have some great photos with her over the years. Vale Renee Geyer gone far too soon.
@@paintitblack6728What a lovely story & she sounds such a wonderful woman as well as an incredibly talented singer. I was pretty young when I first saw her & didn’t really appreciate the depth of her talent until years later. She really was a trailblazer re: the tone of her voice & the genre of music she did. She really should have been a worldwide superstar. RIP, lovely Renée! 💕
Thank you for paying tribute to her when she was alive. There'll be some great jams in the heavens now. Hello from Australia!
One if not the best female r&b singer to come out of Australia! Us Nzer's love her songs sad she has passed r.i.p Renee ❤
I saw Rene live numerous times, in large concerts and late night clubs and jazz bars. She always blew me away. She sung every song from the depth of her heart. This song always cut deep.
Renee is one of Australia's greatest singers. She's been around since the 70s and still performing today. (Nick, i need to send you "It's a Man's World")
Rest in peace, Renee. Extraordinarily talented and sadly, so underrated.
Renee you LEGEND. I'm gonna listen for hours now. Actually I'm gonna get some vinyl, sound even better.
It's so very sad we've lost her! Thankyou for leaving us so many gems of songs soulful lady... May you RIP ❤
Renee is a hidden gem - you really should check out more of her performances.
Had to have another listen . She had a marvellous instrument and she played it to perfection -soulful bluesy with a fine helping of jazz.
You did her proud with your reaction.
Rest easy in perpetual light Renee❤❤❤
RIP Renee Geyer Australia''s Soul Queen 🥲singing with the angels now
I bought her album "It's a Man's Man's World" back in the mid 70's and just loved her version of that song. Her husky, soulful voice ensures she can sing jazz and R&B effortlessly. She's still performing but I wish she'd come to Sydney! 🤩
Sadly she died last month :(
She is and always will be Australia's Queen of Soul. Miss her so much already ❤
Just like our Aussie cousins, Renee Geyer is our Australian Soul Diva of Hungarian decent, "It's A Mans World" put her on the Kiwi's radar, "If Loving You Was Wrong" "Heading In The Right Direction" & "Stares And Whispers", solidified her Status in the eyes many Aussies and Kiwi's, "It Only Happens" became a NZ (Party) Anthem amongst indigenous Maori and is still a favourite sing-a-long to this day
Yup she’s huge in NZ among Māori! We loved her and her music ❤
This woman was perfect live. Loved her.
One of Australia's greatest singers. I love her soulful voice. She would have been an international star if her career hadn't been interrupted by health issues.
All Hail Queen Renee ... GOAT
Renee was being played by black radio stations and people were digging her sound. When she visited America she was asked to replace her face on album cover , she refused which resulted with her songs being removed from their playlists when they discovered she was white. Renee has very few equals and she knows it. Love to see more reactions to this iconic woman
spot on Ozzy - during my brief encounter with her she told me the same and that maybe it was a mistake and she could have chilled about it a little at the time..
RIP RENEE 🙏 I am so blessed to have met you and to see you live many many times over the last 35 years. Always remembered never forgotten you will always be our Aussie Queen of soul.
RIP Queen💜💚
She's definitely always been my favourite from way back..power house voice .
She is fantastic. Also, I can't tell you how happy you made me when you covered your eyes and said she sounds like a black woman singing. Everyone I've ever spoken to over here, ie, Australia, about her, has been in agreement on that ,too. I'd only ever wondered if a US citizen would have thought the same. Love your channel TSR!
I ❤ you reacting (and falling in love with these artists). Sadly, today we say farewell to Ms Gayer. RIP, songbird :'(
Your so right Nick, we need to hear more of her . Just amazing ,pure soul &class 💜👏👏👏
Renee Geyer, Jon English - Hollywood Seven, Marcia Hines and the wonderful album Ripper 76 - now we are really talking preBarnes Aussie music.
Marcia Hines - 1975 - Fire and Rain is one you may like, not as soulful but very clean and wonderful.
When she went to the states in the 70s she wanted hear image on the album cover. They said it wouldn’t sell. If memory serves they were right radio wouldn’t pick it up, don’t hate me if I got it wrong.😊
Sad but true
She did have a lot of airplay before she put the album out.
I heard Renee tell how it was Quincey Jones who was desperately trying to convince her that it would be a huge mistake and she argued that he was just being silly.. I think she told this story while appearing on the celebrity music panel game show SPICKS AND SPECKS. She admonished her own naievity and proud determination in ignoring the advice of a huge US music industry legend whose advice she should have followed. She said something along the lines of ....So I put my huge big pink, stupid face on the cover and that was it!.....
But she did manage a wry laugh about it.
I'd say that Renee wouldn't have picked herself, her huge reserve of talent and her career up and forged ahead without that wry sense of humour and that proud determination.
I been listening to Renee since the 70s. Renee is my favourite female of all female singers on the planet 🥺 She past recently 💔😭 rest in peace beautiful lady. Um she usually would sing this in a high note but like most singers the years have wearied her voice. She's still perfection to me. 🥰 love u renee.
Me too!! I saw her at the brass monkey Cronulla NSW 2000. She was amazing 😍😍
saw Renee twice at her peak - only her & Buddy Guy, made the hair on back of my neck stand up and feel in my soul that I was witnessing 'religious' experiences. The origin of the word religious actually means 'to link back to Source' - literally Renee & Buddy, brought God into the room and we were / are all blessed 🙏🎤🎸🌏💜🎶🌠
I was hoping someone would tell you about Renee. I knew Australia would recommend her. Awesome singer.
Renee used to live in the States for a while and then she eventually came back to Australia some yrs ago.
As you well know by now, Renee passed only yesterday. At around 6:20 you talk about closing your eyes and hearing a black woman. When Renee was trying to break ground in the US market, with "Heading in The Right Direction", the radio promoters were very interested, but soon lost interest when she insisted that her face be on the cover of the single. They wanted the the audience to believe that she was black. It seems that the US was not quite ready for a white Australian, with, arguably, one of the best female soul voices in the world, black or white. Have a listen to "Difficult Woman", a song written for her by Paul Kelly.
Yes Australian but spent a lot of time in America, another female singer of this generation you should check out is Alison Durbin.
Still performing what you have to understand is there is John Farnham and then there is Renee Geyer she is the female vocal equivalent. Her music career is really interesting and I’ve had the privilege of seeing her perform live and it was spellbinding mesmerising her vocals live is something else you got to listen to her version of it’s a man’s world if you haven’t already.
They should have dueted
Birth name Renée Rebecca Geyer
Born 11 September 1953 (age 69)
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Confessions of a Difficult Woman .She described herself as "a white Hungarian Jew from Australia sounding like a 65-year-old black man from Alabama". She spent more than ten years based in the United States but had little chart success there under her own name, yet contributing to releases by Neil Diamond, Men at Work, Sting, Trouble Funk and many others. Geyer returned to Australia in the mid-1990s and her career has continued into the 21st century with her 2003 album, Tenderland, which peaked at #11 on the ARIA albums charts. Peace out.
There was already a Blue Eyed- Soul Genre traced back as early as 30s peak was 50s to 60s. Soul music is universal, either you're asian, black, white or hispanic you can be soulful.
Renee is a legend over here in Australia. Thanks for reacting bro. She was a Jewish woman with a great sense of humour to go with her great talent. She even featured in a punk rock album by Aussie Jewish punk rockers Yidcore called Fiddlin' On Ya Roof which was a parody of Jewish musical Fiddler On The Roof. RIP Renee.
Lucky this video was available. I had my channel taken down recently. Took a while to have the copyright request removed to have the channel restored.
Thanks for reacting to another of my videos. ♥️
You’ve got a great quality professional singing voice!
RIP Renee. Gone too soon.
A huge list of great material from Renee.
Haven't heard her on the radio for ages. Now they will all do tributes and say how great she was (very true). Bit late radio stations!!
Her vocal range is stunning.....but the lower range kills me....RESPECT!!! Aussie Royalty...
There was a web site called white singers that sound black and I think Renee was number 3 on the list, in the 70s, but now I think they have all forgotten about her, so it's so nice to see you react to her and get her name out to new listeners.
I ADORE her voice. Big fan!
Omg I forgot her but I always loved her she always reminded me of Bonnie Tyler who sang total eclipse of the heart. Bonnie was dearly loved She was such a beautiful singer and had such depth . Thanks sweety and I hope you are well xox Colleen Hewitt same kind of soulfulness . I remember seeing her at a small bar in Sydney ,it was A wonderful wine bar ,back then you could smoke inside . I felt so grown up lol
So very sad to hear the news of Renee's death today. Aged 69 from complications of hip surgery. She did, however have lung cancer. R.I.P
I had the privilege of seeing Renee in Perth about 20 years ago. I have never forgotten it. It was a small venue - The Fly by Night Club in Fremantle. She was wonderful. One of my personal favourites is Stares and Whispers.
My brother's first love. He dated Renee in Melbourne when she was doing the pub circuits in the late 60:'s early 70's. She was a force to be reckoned with and 7:02 just starting to be recognised.
You look really young so you may not be too familiar with her. But when I tell you she is an amazing Artist!!! Phenomenal singer and I have been listening to her music since I was a lil girl!!! I love her!! Oh my she passed away😢🕊️🕊️🙏🏾
Rest in Love Renee 🥺🥺😔🙏
RIP Renee😢
Nick you’ve done a reaction to Renee twice prior to this one, with her solo Heading in the right direction and she also sang with Jimmy Barnes and co with Knocking on heaven’s door…..My favourite part of that song was when Jimmy took the microphone from the stand and san with Renee…. She is the epitome of soul.
PS when she went to the US they did not want to put her photo on the cover of her music because she was white…. I suppose in those days it was mostly radio that would get a song out there so there would not have been the film or video with the release, and when the US heard her they assumed she was of colour and felt that her popularity would drop if they found out otherwise. Geyer refused the suggestion, and interest in her did fall. Their (US) loss though because she is our Soul woman 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
RIP Renee 💜
Vale Renee Geyer
Renee was super. So so good.
Rip Renee ❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
She was amazing!🤍 check out her music..
Love this song
Renee Geyer is in the top few female, Australian artists. I.m.o
Renee Geyer is without equal, at least in Australia, but she could hold her own anywhere.I recommend you listen to her singing Love Don't Live Here Anymore and Dock of the Bay both live .
R.I.P ❤
R.I.P Renee Geyer 11.09.1953 - 17.01.2023 Such a beautiful voice and well loved in New Zealand much love
Great reaction! A wonderful soulful singer❤
RIP. Vale Renée Geyer
Thank you ever so much for your beautiful reactions to our Aussie music, as always...... Cheerio from Down Under
Oh another oldie Nick
Haven't heard Renee for a while,
She has a soulful husky sound 😊
RIP Renee, gone too soon, due to complications during hip operation. Only 69 years of age. One of the best voices Australia has produced. Sad sad news
Came to see if someone else had heard the news
Just passed away this morning....a great loss 😢
"It's A Man's World"!!!
If I didn't know it was Renee Geyer I would swear it was a black woman with the biggest soul🖤
RIP Renee. So sad she passed away. She made me want to be a soul singer and was just incredible live. She gave you tingles, made you cry like a baby and couldn't get enough of it. I'm devastated.
Me as well, I just heard and went looking for something on it and this came up. So sad, still remember her on Countdown when I was about 14, like a lot of young guys at the time I had a thing for her but she was about 10 years older than me, so way out of my league. I just cant believe it.
Have a look at Marcia Hines (an african american) who came to Australia many years ago and stayed. Railroad Gin is another band fronted by an amazing lady singer (sadly no longer with us) called Carol Lloyd. We have a heap of amazing lady singers you would like.
We had Say I Love as one of my Mum's funeral songs. It's more of a pop song, but when we were kids Mum would always turn up the stereo and sing it at full voice.
Love this verson - Also loved her version of Its a Man's world. Sad to hear of her passsing today (17 Jan 23) A great artist who will be missed.
Love your reactions. When I was growing up in the seventies and eighties we didn’t really put our singers into a neat box. I think a lot of our artists moved from genre to genre so we didn’t consider them exclusively rock or soul or new wave.
Renee has sadly passed away today at age 69, RIP.
RIP Renee Geyer.
Renee went to the USofA about this time and released an album and the album executive did not allow her photos on the album cover because she was white.
RIP Renee.
Hi Nick, thought you should know, Renee passed away here in Australia today ( as far as I know today, news just breaking now )
RIP Renee
Best Australian female vocalist ever 🖤
she sung with trouble funk and others
Please brother do "It happens every time" that song is a BANGER!!
Oh Yes A fav indeed I was just playing it on here a live production. "It Only Happens When I Look At You."
Listen to "Love don't live here anymore" the vocals are 🔥
You can sing.
We just got sad news today Renee passed away
She went for hip surgery and they found inoperable lung cancer
So sad
Rip Renee 😢🙏
Back in the day (1970s)she was getting great airplay on black/ soul radio in the USA, until they realised that she was white!

Our Antipidean Queen of Soul will forever remain in the hearts and minds of all those who were fortunate enough to witness your vocal artistry. For many Aussie's and Kiwi's who grew up with your music, especially Maori, you are and will always be part of our whakapapa (genealogy).
Kua hinga he totara i te wao nui a Tane.
This is a Maori proverb said when someone of importance passes away. Just as we value our great trees, we must value our great leaders. For. Māori, the totara is a very special. tree, brought into being by Tane Mahuta, the atua of the forest. Symbolically, this very important tree can be viewed as representing everything that roots us, anchors us, identifies us and locates us in the Māori world.
