- Carla Thomas singing "Gee Whiz" back in 1988.
Lyrics:
Gee whiz, look at his eyes
Gee whiz, how they hypnotize
He's got everything that a girl could want
Man, oh, man, what a prize
Oh, oh
Gee whiz, he's all the joy
Gee whiz, I could find in a boy
He's awful nice, it's paradise
I hope I'm not his decoy (decoy)
Heaven up above knows how much
I love that fella's soul
Angels sing of a love like this
I hope our love will grow and grow
'Cause, gee whiz, I love that guy
Gee whiz, my, my, oh my
There are things we could do
I could say I love you
But all I can say is
Gee whiz
I love you.

Our music was about love.This song describes my love of my life I lost him to COVID. We were together 63 years. We grew old together. I feel sad for the new generation.❤
I feel sorry for the new and young generation that will never know the sound that we grew up with and loved.
Thank you
Why? They have their music; let us have ours. As they get older, they'll find it soon enough...
A girl is actually making it famous again ❤️❤️
I agree Denise. The lyrics had meaning to them. Although the younger generation might too but not about violence. Great songs.
Absolutely agree
These kids today don't even have a clue on how great this music was. All us baby boomers have is the memories. I will say this again and again the 60's was the best area of music period.
❤❤❤
Im 16 and listen to this everyday
Carla is phenomenal. She hasn't lost one single note. Class lady all the way.
One of my childhood and adult favorites...Gee Wees..
love her voice. Had listened to her when I was younger, Loved her then, and still love her. she is beautiful.
@@percylindsey3821mine too
Me too great years
Just heard this song (after so many years) in the closing scene and credits of a Japanese series playing on Netflix (House of Ninjas). Great music never dies. It travels all over the world and finds its place in the most surprising places!
When I hear music like this, I thank God I grew up when all this greatness was being produced.
I agree 100%.
I sung this song in one of the clubs on a cruise to the Bahamas. My beloved who has gone home to be with God had never heard me sing & couldn’t stop smiling when he found out that I could sing. He told everyone he came in contact with how amazed he was that I could sing & how heartfelt it was for me to dedicate this song to him.. Rest in perfect peace my beloved..I will missed & love you always & forever🙏🏾♥️
Sorry for your loss. PEACE.
This lady can out right SING...you can’t buy this voice,...it’s a gift from the DIVINE...Carla was not celebrated enough in the music industry....GREAT GREAT VOCALIST!!💯🎤
Absolutely Valenda!
Totally agree...she is stunning
Soo right. Talk about perfect delivery!!!! And she is so fine, too.
she's better now than when she first made her hit record gee whiz.She has the voice of an angel, and a beautiful lady
One of the most underrated voices in history!!
Agree with you 💯 percent 👍
I sung this song at my school talent show, I got a standing ovation! Everyone said that I sounded just like Carla Thomas. She was my biggest fan then, and she still is. I wish they would bring songs like this again
Good choice
I fell in love with Carla Thomas the very first time I heard that voice. She is just plain sensational.
I LOVE, LOVE this song by Carla as only Carla can sing it. It reminds me of really true, young love--the hurting kind. The healing kind. The gentle, caring kind. The fun kind. She sings it with such passion. She has improved an already impeccable unique voice, if that is possible. Audience was weak. They should have been doing a standing ovation on the first big ending.
Benedette Peters does a fine job on this song, but since she's a liberal with hate in her heart, that kills it.
Im listening to her amazing voice in sept.2024 . I fell in love with her voice and this song back in the 60's and went through several records listening to it .
Listening to this in 2024 jst blessed my ears fr
I dedicated that song to my husband he had the most beautiful eyes you could ever want to see I lost him at 48 years old and I miss him up to today it's been 25 years and my heart still breaks he was gorgeous I hear that song and I cry every time
She has such a sweet voice and rightly so underrated.
Carla Thomas has a voice that is as extraordinarily beautiful as she is!
27 years latter and she still carries that song the same. Beautiful.
CARLA & GEE WHIZ back in the DAYS Hit A PLACE IN MY SOUL. BAR NONE
I just burst into tears! My mama used to sing this song tomy dad. They died 24 yrs ago (w/in a month of each other).😭 Not sure how I stumbled across this, but so glad I did. Thx for the memories.
All the floozies popular right now can take a million lessons from this lady. Great voice, great song and no bs. Awesome!
Just walk up to the mike and blow
So true.
All the way real !!!
Floozy doesn't even cover it, more like Jezebel ( the most wicked woman in history)
Yeah the artists now leave nothing to the imagination with their nakedness.
What the freaking H, I was blown away by her live vocals, miss those days when entertainers could actually sing. This generation could learn a thing or 2
Gee Whiz, that was outstanding, and lets not over look the back-up musicians who are excellent, true professonals
I agree about the back-up musicians, they were excellent. Any idea what show they were on? P.S. - Carla was excellent as usual.
@@lakewoodil Sorry, I have no idea what show they were on, and yes, Carla was excellent, Oh, check out Bernadette Peters performing Gee Whiz, I think you'll like it.
@@Madminute1968 .... the guy on the organ and conducting is Paul Schaffer. He was with David Letterman for quite sometime. It must have been his band.
A very underrated legend. Love her so.
FANTASTIC!!! Carla Thomas wow the best "WHAT A VOICE" WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LADY" Always had it, still does!!!
This is how we did it in the 60's folks...........................................................................................end of lesson

Colin Thomas has a voice of an Angel and that song is terrific and it's so meaningful for a lot of people I love her so much

Gee whiz!. she's still Beautiful.🌹
this song brought tears to my eyes
Me too what a lady is she ....a great star
Crying too, her voice is simply amazing and touching
I remember my aunt and uncle dancing to this song. Beautiful.
She still sounds good just like years ago
The music, though!! My God, it puts the SOUL in Soul Music!! She is angelic…that VOICE!!
“Angels sing…”. GEE WHIZ!!❤️❤️❤️
What an awesome song this was to dance to. How I wished for someone to sing to me like that.
1966 In a little town called Staunton, VA., inside the school gym Carla came to hear us play her father's song "Walkin The Dog" and she actually sang it with us backing her up. I was 16 and had no idea how she found us. I do remember she had just graduated college in DC around that time. She was beautiful, sweet, generous and kind to us. We really had no idea how successful she had become at that time. She really enjoyed our little gig and I will never forget those 3,4 minutes in the groove with her. She was so polished, and professional. It really worked.
Thank You Carla,
You have been an inspiration to me and it has taken many years to realize how much so. I love you and your Dad very much. I still play guitar R & B because of you and my soul is better for it.
I was a kid when I heard this. My auntie brought it home and played it a lot....Ms Carla looks good here. Hearing this song, reminds me of my auntie and her boyfriend at that time..
This Song brings Back beautiful Memories for ME NEVER FORGET the Lyrics

This song just melted my heart, then one look at her and I fell in Love! She had a voice that just made you feel so good and comfortable. Danced a many time on her songs, tried to sing a few(smile), then decided to just listen to her.
Henry Johnson i was in love with her too... lol... i was around 13 and i started plotting how i could get famous in order to meet her... lol,
At least you tried.
Was surprised and delighted when Carla’s albums got released on CDs in the earlier CD days! She can cook !!!
Thanks!!!
Love her such a beautiful voice. Love the song brings back so many memories.
Miss Carla Thomas is a customer at the shop where I work. She is as sweet and delightful as ever. She could melt the coldest heart.
A CLASSIC SONG AND A CLASSY WOMAN, THIS WAS WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC AND WE HAD LIVE BANDS BACK THEN NONE OF THIS TECHNO STUFF OR LIP SYNC . THE ARTISTS SUNG THEIR SONGS LIVE IN CONCERT AND NOT PRE-RECORDED MUSIC.
Truth INDEED
Ahhhhh gone are these days. The best days ever.
When a note comes up and rolls off the back of her throat, I get the shivers.
This, is music. Love the oldies.
Today's singers still have something to learn...........there is a difference between singing from your soul and just performing.
OH MY GOODNESS"💖., SHE WAS MY MOTHER FAVOURITE SINGER BACK THEN, AND HER BIG NO.1 HIT SONG
("NO TIME TO LOSE") WAS MY MOTHER FAVOURITE SONG, WHICH ALSO BECAME ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONG GROWING UP"💕...
