Just discovered you from a post on Threads. So happy to make your acquaintance! Your lovely rendition of this song made me tear up remembering Karen Carpenter.
Perfect! Thank you for sharing your immense talent and magic and know that if it makes anyone ‘miss anyone else’s - you have succeeded! Personally, it reminded me to appreciate my Mr who is traveling and will be next to me again on Friday ❤
First thing that popped into my mind when hearing your intro "groove" is Billy Child's arrangement of My Funny Valentine for Dianne Reeves back in the 70's. Olivia, you own a sublime voice that is well suited for the jazz idiom! Curious who some of your vocal influences were growing up with jazz? All my best to you in all your musical endeavors!
Thank you so much! I actually didn't grow up with jazz, but my favorites that I've found over the last decade are certainly Sarah Vaughan, Anita O'Day, Mel Torme, Betty Carter, Ella & Biillie of course, Carmen McRae, and so many others!
Wow wow wow! Best cover I’ve ever heard of this song! You all are so tight and every bit weaves together perfectly! I followed you here from your post on threads and am so happy i did! Liked & subscribed! Please let me know if you are ever in GR to play! Of course you all are welcome to stay at my home if you want, but either way you made my day! I’m also wondering if you guys ever do “Scotch & Soda”… I think it would be a perfect fit for you and all your band mates!
Thank you so much! and i do know that tune! I’ll be in GR in november guest singing with a band at the old goat. check my website for updates! i’ll also be in montague oct 4 at an amazing little venue that also a book shop and bar 💜
I love how you’ve made this song your own and it doesn’t sound anything like Karen Carpenter’s version or anyone else’s❤ Brava!! (I found you from your post on Threads as well, so, glad to know who you are!!
Dear Olivia, I really enjoy listening to your great vocals and beautiful music ! I am your new Subscriber and LIKE. Greetings from Toronto, Canada Danny Muliana
Usually not a fan of any covers of Carpenter’s songs but this is exceptional. Such a wonderful vibe. Great performances by all! Kudos to the engineer too. Nice recording and mix.
@@OliviaVanGoor Too cool. Funny Thing: I am a bass player. I mix and master my band’s recordings. It must be a bass player thing. Here’s one of mind. Please keep in mind that this was recorded in a living room. No overdubs. Keep up the great work. drive.google.com/file/d/1OCI-atKDtGz5OzDVuzw6i8O1GcBhcXTw/view?usp=sharing
You are just the coolest, Olivia.You know I'm a big fan. Outstanding everything! Love the groove, the solos, scatting... solid, creative performance. And live to boot! Richard Carpenter would love this, me thinks. 👏👏👏❤️Brava!
Mary you are just so sweet and your support for a new singer like me is SO appreciated. I am looking forward to seeing you again and chatting even more about this crazy career :)
Love this: voice as well as all the musicians! I once lived in Akron (early 90's) and I wish I could have seen these people perform live -(but that's a long time ago now) really really nice arrangement.
@@sbingham1979 Thank you so much! Check out my website www.oliviavangoor.com and subscribe to my e-newsletter to stay up to date on my travels, maybe you’ll be able to come to a live show someday. :)
Love the sound, all the way around. Can I ask, what cymbal is my guy on drums using on the main ride position? Sounds amazing. (I know, really specific question).
I enjoyed you cover on this song. I came here in support from your "rude guy" on Threads. What a jerk he is! Hopefully you'll not come across another like him again. If it does happen again, get the venue people to escort him out. Nobody deserves to be treated like that, especially when youre working to entertain. My absolute favorite vocalist is Morgan James. Shes a petite 5' 2" graduate of Julliard (studied opera, sings soul/blues). In addition to her wonderful singing, another reason I like her so much is she's a strong woman, she takes no 💩 from Adam Henrys like that guy. She taken rude comments for cutting her hair (she threatened to cut it ALL off), her breast size not being big enough and she needed implants (told the guy he was a piece of 💩) and other such things - almost always from older white guys. Which upsets me even more because I'M an old white guy. Here's my favorite go-to. When somebody says something rude I tilt my head like im hearing something distant and say, "Shhh, did you hear that?" And I'll wait for them to listen. Then i follow with, "No? Yeah, because nobody asked for your opinion! Now go away." Best of luck to you and your career!
Wow! What a great comeback! I, too, followed, liked (actually loved this), and subscribed from Olivia’s threads post! I really needed both… hearing this amazing arrangement, Olivia’s fabulous voice, and your clever comeback! Why aren’t there more cool., clever white guys like you around in Grand Rapids?!?
This is what falling in love sounds like. Incredible arrangement. Wishing you all the success in the world.
This is one of the sweetest comments ever 🥰

So did I. This cover is AMAZING, esp Olivia's voice and the flugelhorn! Thank you for linking this ❤

I just closed my eyes, and grooved.
