    Check out her singing this same song on Ireland's Late Late Show in 1990 and then marvel at the fact that this heaven-sent voice has not lost an iota of its power, richness and soul in 27 years. She is genius this Maria McKee.

    Start with her vocal talent. Maria’s voice has improved over the years. More range, even better timbre, so expressive with every ounce of emotion right there. And this is live. No band to fill in the musical space, no one at the soundboard covering up less than perfect, no auto tune. Just Maria and a guitar that she has mastered as well. The right hand sweep she uses to shift the tempo near the end alone is just beautiful.
    But there’s more. She wrote the lyrics in a day or so because she didn’t like the crap the movie studio had. It’s hard enough imagining today’s “stars” singing like this, but writing these wonderful lyrics too? Simply no. No one else like her.

    • @JohannesWiberg
      @JohannesWiberg Год назад +3

      Not only is she not getting any studio trickery help here - the environment is actually working against her, with the really bad guitar mix, the boomy venue, and this recording with is probably just a cell phone pointing vaguely in the right direction - the fact that she still sounds INCREDIBLE is amazing.

    Her voice can not be contained it’s so strong. A lot of today’s singers (Adele, Dua Lipa) could learn a thing or too. All they seem to have is one technique which is to drone. Maria can soar, swoop, trill - it is an instrument of strength & precision.

    I haven’t heard her amazing voice in years but woke up with “Wheels” on my mind and looked her up on RUclips. An incredible talent...she was the soundtrack to my college years. I still remember all of the words to Dixie Storm and my other faves. Her voice is up there with the best of them. Sad that she never got the recognition she deserved but glad she is still using that angel’s voice.

    • @Michael-mm3fm
      @Michael-mm3fm 4 года назад +1

      Sonja Austell ah, Wheels and Dixie Storms. Two amazing piano ballads. Wheels is in my top 10 records of all time. Not to mention going back to Soap, Soup and Salvation or forward to Life Is Sweet. And not forgetting Well the dog act / got drunk again last night - ah Panic Beach, the name came to me. I was lucky enough to see Maria twice in London touring her first solo album - mesmerising concerts.
