Absolute classy woman of unlimited potential. I believe she was under rated. This vid is awesome to see in 2021. We Kiwis love Renee Geyer make no error.
WHAT A SUPERLATIVE performance! Why isn't this woman respected as one of the world's greatest blues and jazz singers??? She has style and talent equal to Aretha Franklin and many others of equal marque. Exquisite soul-baring performance.
To answer my own question: She is (by her own admission and all those who've ever known her) "a difficult woman". Very, very sadly she has wrecked her own career and relationships through substance abuse and physical ailments, no doubt from deep deep inner troubles which -- on the other hand -- have given her musical expression such emotional expression. Sadly, many of the greats have been likewise.
Renee Geyer!! made it Big in America with 'Say I Love You', came back to Aussie, and suddenly disappeared off the music scene. Such an amazing journey and Singer from Australia, she deserves more Kudos!....Us Kiwis were happy to have her!!...Such a Big Icon in New Zealand and Still Is....Go Renee
Mon Desir Hotel takapuna beach house garden bar which backed on to beach ... usedbto have annual Jazz/Blues festivals in early 80s ... Renee was always there when she could ... legend .. beautiful voice in a beautiful setting ... miss them days .. anyone else remember seeing her there .. RIP Renee ... she also was a backup singer sometimes for Cold Chisel ,another aussie icon ...
For me, the best female artist ever, she was worshiped here in NZ because she had such an amazing soulful voice and her music timeless. This song was like a NZ national anthem. Another Aussie female artist I loved was Tina Arena, soooo goooooood.
Renee gayer. Absolutely hands down one of the true Australian great voices, so much talent, raw emotion and just shiver creating fucking pure real talent. Love her so much 😍
Blast from the past, went to alot of Renee Geyer performances when she came to NZ, her soulful husky singing voice and her song list was the big attraction that drew my attention to go and see. Beautiful singer and memories ❤ 💕 .
You're very right since discovering her I understand this is a 70's produced song the BGV just seems like the could be different because her voice is some even the 2021 performance I found she still had IT
I remember going to see Renee sing at Bombay Rock in brunswick, real class, exceptional voice, beautiful Women. Totally had a girl crush lolz. Still rocks my world xoxoxoxox
My sister and I were guests of the club owner at this concert...had a great night and I have seen her in concert 3 times. Come back to Aotearoa soon Renee
where was it preformed at ? another kiwi here .. used to see her in early 80s at jazz/blues fests at the Mon Dersir hotel takapuna beach .. in garden bar which backed onto and overlooked beach ... She was always the star , the voice , the setting ... the old days .. Thanks Renee RIP ...
Love Renee Geyer, years ago I watched one of her concerts on tv probably early 80's. I knew her songs coz she was popular at the time but I'd never seen her before, not even a photo. She was rocking & owning that staged - loved her ever since! Such a beautiful & soulful voice. I have ywo of her CD's. Ty Renee for all the wonderful music xx
🔥 THE Queen 👑 of Soul AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 SOUTHERN ➕ SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE A Melbourne Victoria 🐥 Love 😍 ya Renee 👠 👟 ➕ Andreas, Mateo & their many GOD FAMILIES 👪
Because Australia didn't know what to do with her. Her voice was too black for them to handle. Such a shame - she's the best female singer to come out of Australia ever.
As far as I'm concerned she's one of the best singer's in the world,, She should be world famous and winning all the awards. Pure awesome talent Lots of ❤ and if you read this Renee, Thankyou so much for year's of enjoyment . ABSOLUTELY AWESOME ❤💚💙
I totally agree Lee this happens a lot .But Renee has a powerful voice which shines through. I have seen her live at an Adelaide S.A. concert. And Renee is the best..Regards Robert
We lost her far too young. Beautiful soulful voice, a pioneer for Australian female performers. We will miss you Renee xx
Rest in eternal peace Renee. Such a beautiful voice and wonderful memories from the seventies. ♥️🙏🏼🕊
There is nothing like a pub gig. U2 will never send a shiver down your spine or make you cry like Renee does here.
A singer's singer. One of the best. Always incredible live and on recording. Such an amazing talent. RIP beautiful Renee. ♥♥♥
That voice full of soul, sadness and song...RIP Renee Geyer, sing on high, sing forever on high...sigh...
Absolute classy woman of unlimited potential. I believe she was under rated. This vid is awesome to see in 2021. We Kiwis love Renee Geyer make no error.
She passed today 1.19.2023. First I ever heard of her, love her music.
Say it ain't so.
What a bloody legend.
Named my daughter after her

Well said.

I love Renée; however the notion that her talent is equal to Aretha's is bewildering. Aretha is THE SOURCE and is is in an entirely different league.

Sarah Taranaki awesome lady loved her music back in the day
I loved her on Radio with Pictures hosted by Karen Hay as a married too young NZ woman back in the late 70's.

Different styles but both so so AWESOME

Bless her soul Vale Renee

R.I.P. Renee' You'll be missed. 😢🌹❤️
RENEE will be missed by all who ever heard any of the albums made in her lifetime
So often I find myself coming back to this song and this performance. The words, the arrangement..and that voice. Touched, moved and inspired
You're very right since discovering her I understand this is a 70's produced song the BGV just seems like the could be different because her voice is some even the 2021 performance I found she still had IT
We love you Renee we are listening always
I saw her sing in Founders Theater Hamilton NZ 1976ish .lovely soul and blues
I've always liked renee, but this is the first time I've heard her sing this particular version, and imo, it's one of the greatest of all time.
RIP beautiful x
Renee's signature song, written for her by Mark Punch her then guitarist. A love letter.
This song was actually written for Leo De Castro, They were good friends and Renee used it
Forgot to add,, Leo was a Kiwi artist living in Aussie
more sad news. Rest In Peace Renee Geyer. you sang blues so well!
This is THE performance on TH-cam. So great.
Australia’s National Treasure 💖💖💖💖

The late Doug Parkinson once told me many years ago that he always wanted to do an album with Renée Geyer, but it never eventuated.
The Great Renee Geyer!!!!!!!
Love Renee Geyer, years ago I watched one of her concerts on tv probably early 80's. I knew her songs coz she was popular at the time but I'd never seen her before, not even a photo. She was rocking & owning that staged - loved her ever since! Such a beautiful & soulful voice. I have ywo of her CD's. Ty Renee for all the wonderful music xx

Love you Renee 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
RIP Renee 💜💜
great girl great song, great memories
WOW What a voice. I love you Renee!!
your the bomb!! you woke up one day and sang!!! this is a gift
Gladys Knight much! Said with the utmost respect for both awesome ladies.
Except Gladys doesn't have the agility. Gladys isn't a riffer per se but a wonderful soulful storyteller nonetheless.
@@prof32 Excuse me, but Gladys can most certainly do runs. Because she does rely on them, does not mean she does not have the agility.
amazing talent fab voice-few terrific songs I enjoy of hers this is one of them- we both from 70s and that music was the best
My fave song. My fave singer. Always go see her live when shes in NZ 💗
The indomitable Ms Geyer. ❤️❤️ 2022
R.I.P Renee 💔😥
Great Aussie Talent !

Thankyou Brother
Why wasnt she Adele before Adele??
Because Australia didn't know what to do with her. Her voice was too black for them to handle. Such a shame - she's the best female singer to come out of Australia ever.
As far as I'm concerned she's one of the best singer's in the world,, She should be world famous and winning all the awards.
Pure awesome talent Lots of ❤ and if you read this Renee, Thankyou so much for year's of enjoyment .
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME ❤💚💙
our answer to Gladys Night
wonder woman
Why is the music in all her songs miles to loud for the song , the music is meant to be back ground music and not over powering her voice .
I totally agree Lee this happens a lot .But Renee has a powerful voice which shines through. I have seen her live at an Adelaide S.A. concert. And Renee is the best..Regards Robert
Sorry it should read I totally agree Steve
Relate ..
