As a Māori from Aotearoa New Zealand Renee's song was a regular and go to song at parties and when we all sang the chorus "Am I heading in the right direction for your loving and affection" you could feel everyone's soul yearning.
Renee Geyer is from Australia but so loved by us in New Zealand. She passed away yesterday and we shall miss her dearly. I grew up listening to her music and im now 61. I still play her music regulary. Beautiful loss to the music world
Renee passed away today in Melbourne. RIP. My favorite Aus Soul Singer of all time, love you Renee. You left a beautiful legacy and I don't believe anyone in this country has surpassed.😪
RIP Renee. Truly an under-recognised great!
RIP Renee the Queen of Aussie soul 😎😎😎😎🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👸👸👸
She is Australia’s greatest Jazz Soul Singer - Period
she sits right next to greats like Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham in terms of vocal prowess and ability…..
she is my fav soul singer from this side of the PACIFIC…….no one like her,not even close……
RIP beautiful lady……she gave me chills everytime….what a voice and a lovely lady xo
💯🔥❤️🌹🎼
She described herself as "a white Hungarian Jew from Australia sounding like a 65-year-old black man from Alabama". She spent more than ten years based in the United States but had little chart success there under her own name, yet contributing to releases by Neil Diamond, Men at Work, Sting, Trouble Funk and many others. Geyer returned to Australia in the mid-1990s and her career has continued into the 21st century with her 2003 album, Tenderland, which peaked at #11 on the ARIA albums charts. Renee's music was popular on black American radio station because people thought she was black. Peace out.
Well done! I couldn’t have said it better, thanks Steve❤️🇦🇺
Renee’s first album release in the USofA did not put a photo of her on the album. Because they didn’t want to show her as white. I was lucky enough to see her in Adelaide very early on and have loved 🥰 her ever since.
Thank you for your appreciation.
@@docw1819 Same here. Saw at Her Majesty's Theatre maybe late 1970s and still remember it being a great show
@@docw1819 Have seen a interview and she said she insisted that they put her photo on the cover against their advice.
@@stevefoulston
I saw that interview too and she said that Quincey Jones warned her against it but she thought he didn't know what he was talking about and went right ahead and had a photo of her, as she said " Big pink stupid face put on the cover " and the previous mounting sales immediately fell off.
Paul Kelly wrote a song about her defiant personality called " A Difficult Woman " which she at first objected to but later on took it on board as being accurate.
To be fair I think she wouldn't have come so far on her great talent alone if she had not had that personal strength and independent streak.. Especially so during her early years trying to break through as a very young female artist in the 1970's.
Sadly she has passed away. She is from Australia. I grew up listening to her. Very sad. Such a soulful voice. An amazing talented lady. RIP Renee. We love you xxxx
She was a great singer...sadly missed 🙏🏻
Sadly, this legendary and beloved Australian vocalist died this week in the presence of her family and friends.
Her loss is being felt acutely by those of us who are utterly transfixed by an utterly indescribably beautiful voice.
Renee Geyer is an Australian singer who was one of the country's finest jazz, soul and r&b musicians. She has released 15 studio albums, as well as an Internationally respected and sought-after backing vocalist; her session credits include work with Sting, Chaka Khan, Toni Child's, Joe Cocker and Neil Diamond to mention a few. She was born Melbourne in 1953, but unfortunately we lost her in 2023.
Thank you for reacting to this. She died today. Vale Renee
Love Renee Geyer, her voice is pure soul. I loved her sing “Stares and Whispers” ❤️
Agreed 💯%💖💞
"Difficult Woman" is right up the top of a list of favourite albums of all time.
RIP Renee Geyer. (1953 - 2023).
Hey! You found Renee! 'Top of the Top Tier' Female Vocalists - of all time. Not just in Australia, but Worldwide and sadly very under appreciated on the international stage. It makes me both sad and glad to see recognition building - via these networks - but not in their prime. Much later when most are pretty much past retirement. Renee was an idol who 'taught me how to sing'. I listened to and copied her songs - over - and over - and over. Inspired to stretch to reach up to her seemingly effortless standard. Just a magnificent and very skilled singer. Enjoy more of Renee.👍👋👋👋
Watching your Channel made me realise the amount of Great singers we have here in Australia. 🇦🇺
Agree
Yes, and how much we take them for granted!
We've taken a few for granted I reckon. Might have just been spoiled.
He has found the honey pot of Australian legendary royalty.
Right???
I first discovered Renee Geyer in the 70's with her song "It's A Man's World" ruclips.net/video/t7WJp7613EU/видео.html - I bought her album almost immediately. She has a lot of soul - born in Melbourne Australia in 1953 😁
Loved Renee Gayer and Railroad Gin's Carol Lloyd both strong female vocalists that weren't your typical pop of the time.
no one does this song so powerfully.
I LOVE Renee Geyer! Hey New Zealand Loves Renee Geyer from way back! White Soul, Regaae lady! She's from Aus... but NZ loves her all over! Especially all the Maoris. It's not a party without her!
17.1.23 - Rest in Peace Renee, another great Aussie artist gone too soon xox
I’m so late to your channel but Renee is still singing - she’s performing in the next few weeks in a great jazz basement in Melbourne Australia at I’m going to see her! I’ve been to her shows for 30 years - soulful? understatement! She’s a phenomenon.
Fly high Renee Geyer.... RIP 💕
*R I P Renee* you will be missed by so many.
One of the best.
Passed - 🎶🎵17 January 2023 💔
Sad to hear we lost another great Australian singer today RIP Renee
RIP Renee 💜
I have a vision. Nic comes to live in Australia and has his own TV show like "Countdown" because his knowledge of Aussie (and global) music is becoming phenomenal!
I second this motion.
Would one hundo go to this live show
Bring it!
RIP Renée Geyer you left a meaningful mark on Aussie music
I;m watching you and crying like a baby. Renee has been one of My Ladies since the mid-170s. I met Renee in 2004 at a coffee shop in St. Kilda, Melbourne, called Brew-Ha-Ha. I was there doing a tour and promoting my opening that year at the Butterfly Club. She introduced herself, saying "Im a singer too". We had coffee, and became friends. She crashed the stage at some of my performances, and always kept very close since. Her death a few days ago has me undone. i want to thank you for paying such honest tribute to her. She is an icon, known as the Australian Aretha in the day. And thank you for recognizing and elevating Soul. My earliest days at the Sunny Club in Harrisburg, Pa when I was just a teen and hadn't yet learned to bend and blue-up notes. Renee's recordings in those early years taught me so much. Another artist of note, with roots of pure soul is Mary Ann Redmond. I do hope you have covered her. But that is not a request. I know you've got it going on with the donation=request biz, and I totally respect that. We elders on fixed incomes do not have extra cash, but I will leave it to the young ones to unlock the treasure of your expertise my man. Again,thanks for highlighting Renee. She was, is and will always be amazing. Now I have to go wipe the tears from my eyes.
Renee was a diamond. She was and is still loved back in New Zealand.
You must listen to Renee sing "It's a Mans world", you will just fall in love, no ifs buts or maybes, you will just fall for Renees voice, it's that good.
Renee Geyer -missing you 💯
R.I.P Renee Geyer. Australia is so proud of you. Will be greatly missed x
One of our Great Australian singers ..R.I.P we shall miss you and your amazing voice xx
she is Australia's most under-rated Queen of soul.
She is so underrated, you should check her out in Cold Chisel’s Last Stand live “River Deep Mountain High”
I don't think she was 'underrated'. A star back in the day
Sadly Renée passed away suddenly last month. Seeing her live was truly one of the best performances I have ever seen. I don’t think she was ever really appreciated for her immense soulful talent. Thank you for having her on your show. X
This was my EXACT reaction!!! Instantly one of my favorite singers of all time off this one song that I heard for the first time 30 minutes ago! Great reaction!
Renee Geyer sadly passed away due to surgery complications on 17th January 2023. Sad loss for Australia. Thanks for the appreciation, loved watching this.
RIP Renee 💖was so lucky to hear your beautiful voice many times live. xx
RIP Renee.
#RIP Renee you were the soulful amazing Lady that touched our hearts 🌹 God Bless You 👏👑🩷🤎🩷
Beautiful voice. Alas, Renee passed away 17th January 2023. Her family said In a statement that Renee passed away from complications following hip surgery. And apparently whilst in hospital it was found she had inoperable lung cancer. (She had breast cancer circa 2009 but recovered from that). RIP Renee :(
Thank you for playing my request 🙏 couldn't let this slip through after you discovered Marcia Hines 😁
So great to see Nics reaction,.... knew she would blow his mind 🤩
A blessed angel
Renee is one of Australia's greatest soul singers. Love this song and "Stares and Whispers" is another favourite.
Renee is still singing and appeared at the Birds basement on RUclips earlier in 2022...she is now 69 and excels in jazz vocals with a soul influence. 🤓😎👍🤗...she has since passed away so RIP Renee...you will be missed. 😇😇
I grew up in Melbourne 70’s listening to Renee. It’s so sad/beautiful watching this weeks after her passing.
Our darling Renee Geyer Australian Queen of soul, passed away 19th Jan 2023, her spirit lives on with her incredible voice. RIP Beautiful lady.
Renèè has been a respected figure in Australian music since the 70s. "Cry One More Time'' is another excellent Geyer track. It's from 2004, written by the equally legendary Paul Kelly.
Vale beautiful Queen.
Renee Geyer passed away yesterday, 17 January 2023 at the age of 69. RIP Renee, thanks for the music 💖🎤🤩🙏 you will be missed.
Renee passed away yesterday, that’s what brought me back here. R.I.P., Soul sister 💔
Her version of midnight train to Georgia is actually one of my favourite songs
Just heard that Renee Geyer passed today.... sad day , great voice, great performer probably my favorite Aussie female artist... 🙏 RIP
RIP Renee Geyer 😢
Such sorrow at the passing of this great Australian lady of soul. A woman of fire and passion. I was most privileged to have seen her perform live many years ago.
Rest in peace Renee Geyer 11 September 1953 - 17 January 2023
Unfortunately, we lost Renee in January 2023, at Age 69 she died. ~. R.I.P You beautiful Spirit Renee,
and thank you for the countless 'Goose Bumps' you gave me with your wonderful voice.
Love from all of us Australian fans. 💘💘💔💔

RIP Renee 😔😥 such a beautiful artist. Thank you for your gorgeous voice. You will be very much missed🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌏🪐🌕🙏🌸🐟🦋🇦🇺🐦🏡❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
RIP darling Lady 😢
I was lucky enough to see Renee at The Basement in Sydney 3 times and she truly was one of the most soulful voices Australia ever had. She will be missed. R.I.P ❤
We just lost her today! 😟RIP Renee … 🇦🇺 icon 😢❤
She passed away today and was Australian.
Hey Nick , unfortunately Renee passed away today. May her soul Rest in Peace ❤
So glad someone got round to requesting Renee Geyer! Just possibly Australia’s greatest female soul singer (and we have quite a lot of that genre) She’s on my 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 list.
Been around since the early 70’s, Inducted into ARIA Hall of Fame 2005.
I think Jon English's Hollywood 7 deserves a listen too
@@coreenavenn4235 one of my favorite tracks!!
@@timwalsh7484 Jon.had a wonderful raspiness. No wonder he did The Pirates of Penzance so many times.
Hollywood 7 never made it in USA which is crazy IMO
Renee Geyer REST IN POWER. I absolutely love that you said she had Glady's Knight nuisances in her voice. Absolutely 💯 agree Glady's is premium quality pure and soulful voices in my lifetime. Renee is astounding one of a kind and truly gifted. ❤️
RIP Rene Geyer 😭❤️
Renee played at Byron bay blues last week. Crowd was warmed up for her by a great little band called 1920.
I loved watching your reactions to our Renee
#the respect she never got
RIP Renee ❤
So glad you've finally discovered Renee, she is absolutely incredible, I grew up listening to her in the 70's, she was the undisputed Australian Queen of jazz & soul in the 70's & 80's. I actually recommended her when you first discovered Kate Ceberano, her career started in the early 70's, this was her big hit from '75, an original song written by her guitarist Gary Punch and Mark Paige, there's no doubt she would have been a big influence on John Farnham, John actually covered this song on his "Great Australian Songbook" album released in 2005 where he paid homage to the great Australian songwriters whose songs inspired him throughout his career, here's the audio clip ruclips.net/video/OvoYJ1_nDDg/видео.html . Check out "Sweet Love" from her 3rd album "Ready to deal" this is taken from a live TV performance in 1975, she had a fantastic band, awesome jazz/rock/soul fusion ruclips.net/video/6OjoP_VaatI/видео.html , enjoy the journey
Gosh, it’s been years since I’ve heard this song….. but the words came flooding back. Love it ❤️
Hey Nick. Renee is alive and well, living in Melbourne, Australia and still doing gigs. She is playing at a great little Jazz club called Bird’s Basement in a few weeks. Her cover of James Brown’s “It’s a Man’s Man’s World” is legendary.
She died today
Sorry to tell you but Renee died today from an aggressive lung cancer. We have lost so many great muso's lately it's very sad. RIP Renee.
@@kerryn6714 lung cancer? Being reported as complications after hip surgery, but I stand to be corrected
@@wayneperry7413
The complications post hip surgery was George Pell. Renee was only diagnosed about 6-8 weeks ago and she was still performing. It took her very quickly. She'll be greatly missed.
😢
Youve got to listen to her singing...It's a Mans World. Its outta this world.
She’s one of my favourite all time female singers. ❤️🎼🎤
Another great Australian singer.
My favorite artist of all time...soulful vocals...
RIP Renee. Lost to us suddenly and unexpectedly this day.
She is still regarded as the Queen of Soul in the hearts and minds those in this part of the world, Australasia/Oceania, particularly across the ditch amongst our Maori people.
Once you've heard Renee sing, you will never forget her. One of our (Australia's) greatest voices. The lady has soul.
Lady soul, loved watching her live, brilliant!!!!
She's one of Australia's finest female vocalist.Always.grear to see you uncover new artist to you ... My favourite of hers is ..If loving you is wrong.... Amazing vocals .
Renee is from Australia 🇦🇺 💕
I had the privilege of seeing Renee in Sydney early seventies. Still love her. I am 73
The most under-appreciated female singer here!
Not back in the day.
@@fm6419 Australia never gave her the credit - she was miles ahead of her time
@@lululangford Yes it did, I was around at the time
@@fm6419 Not going to argue. She did not get the attention she deserved, always having to play dives and small venues. If you were 'there' you would have seen it as it was. She deserved superstardom that the likes of overseas bands got. That ACDC and Air Supply and Skyhooks and Olivia and Johnny Farnham and Helen Reddy got. She never reached those heights when she should have flown over them. If you google major acts from the 70s it is hard to even find her name.
Ahhhh, you’ve finally arrived at the soul Queen I was named after. She is CRIMINALLY underrated, and doesn’t get the same idol status as her male counterparts - even though her instrument is equal to theirs.
RIP Renee, one of Australia's underrated singers, she was amazing. I saw her many times in the 1980's at the Basement in Sydney.
rest in peace Renee......
Ah, the Queen of Australian Soul. Going to see her live next week Friday - honestly can't wait!
Talking my language now!! Seen her so many times live, she was great!!!!
another great Vid Brother............ My father named me after Renee Geyer and my little bro after Myles Davis x
Renee is aussie! She is currently doing an australian pub tour.. She is 72..and a huge following.. She still has the gospel soul! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Glad you finally got to discover the wonderful Renee Geyer!
It was announced today (17 Jan) Renee passed away, aged 69. Sad news.
Also sang with Joe Cocker
She actually got a record deal offered to her in USA but they wouldn’t go ahead with it unless she lied and said she was a black artist because of her voice. She left and came back to Australia and has been incredible.
Where the hell has this woman been all my life? The runs!! Please don’t take too long to come back to her!
My fav Renee Geyer song: It only happens when I look at you (cover) soulful as the best, do yourself a favor you will enjoy immensely. Love your channel and get a kick out of your reactions.
Reminds me of watching Countdown & others in the 70s when Renee and Marcia Hines seemed to be the queens.
Not to mention Mike Walsh Show, Hey Hey, etc etc
Renee was a great aussie soul singer.. That is one powerful voice!! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
She is not just from Australia - she is from Melbourne :) and of Hungarian descent as well
One other point - she is named Renee after a woman who helped her mother whilst her mother was interned in the Auschwitz concentration camp during WWII
Renee Geyer sang in the Andrew Durant Memorial Concert and she is one of Australia's most amazing singers
She is another underrated Australian Singer, she had so much soul in her voice, she was definitely 1 of kind. As far as I know she’s Australian. Yes this is back in the 80’s, I think we Aussies were at least 20 years in front of the rest of the world when it came to music. There are so many fabulous Australian Singers from back then and still today. The only difference is travel is far easier now than it was back then. Going overseas was a major undertaking and expensive also back then. So a lot of performers honed their skills here before going overseas and I think it has served them well.🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
