  • Here's my take on the heartbreaking and beautiful "Empty Chairs" by Don McLean. Fun fact: this song was the inspiration for the poem that became "Killing Me Softly with His Song."

    It's so nice to hear somebody sing without forcing their vocals to sound 'mainstream' like the majority of what you hear on TV & radio these days. Your voice is pure, clean and natural and that is awesome! A beautiful cover Summer, keep up the good work! Ken :-)

    So beautiful - Summer Grace - and the song is great too ... one of my favorites. Reminds me of my sweet 21 year old daughter who left us and this world so suddenly and tragically on January 20, 2015. We have a strong hope of seeing her again in heaven. God bless you!

    Well done, Summer. You changed the song just enough to make it not only your own, but also more effective for a female singer and not enough to spoil the mood imposed on it originally by McLean himself. I have loved this song ever since it first got popular by Don, and I now have another version to enjoy without detracting at all from the original one. Good luck with your musical career.

    It would have been better if we could see your guitar and the fingering patterns that are so important to this song and need to be seen. Perhaps do it again and have someone film it. Your vocals however are exceptional. You have a beautiful voice and your phrasing of the lyric is perfect.
