Vale Renee Geyer. Only ever a couple of times in a generation is one blessed with such a soulful singing voice. My favourite female vocalist of all time. I was fortunate to see Renee in concert many times since the 80s and had the honour of meeting her on a few occasions......talk about a big personality, unforgettable and the life of the party. Thanks for providing a significant part of the soundtrack to my youth
R.I.P. Renee Geyer 😢beautiful voice, the angels are going to love u when u get there. we gonna miss you, keep smiling Renee and thanku for sharing your beautiful talent luv u😢❤️
Moenga Roa' R. I. P or Eternal Rest Renee. Ka aroha hoki' With deepest sympathy, Our Antipidean Queen of Soul will forever remain in the hearts and minds of all those who were fortunate enough to witness your vocal artistry. For many Aussie's and Kiwi's who grew up with your music, especially Maori, you are and will always be part of our whakapapa (genealogy). Kua hinga he totara i te wao nui a Tane. A totara is a huge native tree that grows for hundreds of years in New Zealand. For one of them to fall is a great tragedy. This proverb is said when someone of importance passes away. Just as we value our great trees, we must value our great leaders. For Māori, the Totara is a very special tree, brought into being by Tane Mahuta, the atua (Ancestor/God) of the forest. Symbolically, viewed as representing everything that roots us, anchors us, identifies us and locates us in the Māori world.
Still is, and not just with Maori's as I am a pahkea and we grew up with this song and my family and adopted Maori sister and my siblings married Maori's, it's still a huge family track. We love it 🥰
This song takes me back to my childhood, hearing it always, reminisce the Good Old Days, that are not old at all, because it only seems like yesterday.
Used to love this record in the 70's by the Majors. Used to be played in a few London Clubs. Never thought it could be bettered. I hadn't heard of this girl before, but she's accomplished it. What a soulful voice. Excellent post. Thanks.
Terry, I spent a year in NZ living/working with the Maori people...most beautiful country/people on the earth...now I have 90% of my fave song list are NZ...beautiful singers, non materialistic and suffered the same cultural abuses as we did.....Kia kaha
@@johnpayne7729 Your comment I can't see how it connects with what Terry said. He used to hear this played in the clubs in London back in the 70's by a group called the Majors. He hasn't said anything about NZ or Maori people.
@@LUREDADDY52 this song was a big hit on the soundtrack from the cult hit "once were warriors" and the sequel "what becomes of the broken hearted" All I was doing was giving him an insight into the background of the songs resurgence and the cover by renee..
Awwws what didn't kno our beloved Renee has gone too soon ... grew up to all your music as a kid here in Aotearoa..from our parents partying In the garage listening to all your classics... You will be missed hard around the world, Renee, much love from us all here in Aotearoa
Fly high petal. A rare delicate finely tuned instrument that put out sounds as rare, raw, delicate as you were! Fab artist for all time! RIP. May you have peace!
Guitar parties in YNUI and records on the stereo with coins held on top of the needle to keep it on the record, Faaaark loved it all! Those were the days-share it.
i discovered this song when i was watching the movie "What becomes of the Broken Hearted" on netflix. the young lady was sining it & they played it in a scene in a record store, so i Shazammed it. i relly dig it. i assume this is Classic Austrailian soul music? i had never heard of this lady or the song. Now i will be exploring her catalog to see what other jems she has.
She is from Ngati Soul...............she is one of ours alright - her MUSIC resonated with us KIWI - FOLK ......................she would fit right at home in our marae :) ROYALTY to us
Totally agree, I grew up with Renee, never stopped loving her voice even though I went 20 odd years without listening to her. Rediscovering her music was a joy
Brings back the good old memories going to the with the gat a crate and the Bros to the parties and singing this song and trying to pick the beautiful young Waihine that were there :)
All New Zealanders love this song, Maori and pahkea
I'm a pom in Blighty and I love Renee
