LaGaylia Frazier "Night in Tunisia"

[@christopherbywater8005]

Not a copy of Ella or Chaka, but a fresh and new groove to this epic piece! Wow, what a voice and presence!

[@JacintaBordeeJautih]

A long time ago in the forties Dizzy and bird gave us this song They called it "a night in Tunisia" And the melody still lingers on It was new and very strange Blew the squares right off the stage Few could play along But the melody still lingers on Max and miles to name just two Together they grew The music was young and strong And the melody still lingers on They paved the way for generations From Coltrane to Stevie No one could stop the winds of change Without them where'd we be? The duke and the pres were there before The past you can't ignore The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame And the melody remains the same The duke and the pres were there before The past you can't ignore The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame And the melody remains the same A long time ago in the forties Dizzy and bird gave us this song They called it "a night in Tunisia" And the melody still lingers on In the forties A night in Tunisia In the forties A night in Tunisia In the forties A night in Tunisia In the forties

Rayco George 1/11/2020: Thank you for the lyrics. Happy New Year from Hawaii. Can you believe it....2020?

[@bubbleworship]

I'm in awe. I actually clicked this video to make fun and anticipating I would be saying "oh, please, she has nothing on Chaka" but how wrong was I! I'm obsessed by this song, and have been working my way through dozens of Chaka performances, I didn't think anyone would come close. This woman REALLY does. I am a new fan.

[@layla27101]

LMAO. My sentiments exactly. She killed it and is absolutely amazing. Still have to give the edge to Chaka though :)

[@katerinatravel]

So did I! :))) And i was just overwelmed, surprised and happy that i did that clik! Sounds so great!

[@haroldbrooks4235]

Me too😊

[@JoannHines-g6f]

Get it, Sistah Girl!❤😂❤😂❤😂❤

[@djrichroman949]

Wow, she absolutely killed it!

[@javierosborne255]

One of the best performances......, ever.

[@thenegotiator3896]

Frazier has been in the game for over two decades, she ain't no new comer in music

[@JoannHines-g6f]

Ms. Frazier putting her own fantastic spin on this masterpiece!

[@mlmiller2267]

How fun! Never heard of her before, but Bravo!

[@ithinkplenty]

Just discovered this video … I have goosebumps!!! What a talent.

[@haroldbrooks4235]

I’m still in awe of how they got this great of a sound with such a small ensemble?❤❤❤

[@JoannHines-g6f]

Background singers are FIRE!❤😂❤😂❤😂❤

[@ustwoalberts]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. jaw-dropping arrangement,playing,singing. AND ..........now ....I'm lost for words

[@valycaramel]

[@lucettesnellenburg]

Wow!!! I love your version! Very good!!

[@JoannHines-g6f]

Girlfriend's got a helluva band, too!❤😂❤😂❤😂❤

[@federicofrola7249]

Questo dimostra quanto è bello vivere in questo Mondo.

[@tomcordle7467]

Simply marvelous -- words don't do it justice. The interplay between vocalist and pianist is absolutely brilliant

[@JoannHines-g6f]

Obsessed fan of this song, also!❤

[@janellesadler]

Way to go, LaGaylia! You're fabulous.

[@saikalsatybaldieva4959]

The moon is the same moon above you Aglow with its cool evening light But shining at night, in Tunisia Never does it shine so bright The stars are aglow in the heavens But only the wise understand That shining at night in Tunisia They guide you through the desert sand Words fail, to tell a tale Too exotic to be told Each night's a deeper night In a world, ages old The cares of the day seem to vanish The ending of day brings release Each wonderful night in Tunisia Where the nights are filled with peace

[@timjazznlterbals6629]

i like Tunesia and also this performance....very swinging...very good

[@selmabaptista8189]

Fantastic! this is really a jazzy soul version of a classic jazz tune!

[@kimberlyfleming1268]

Her voice is very warm and soulful. . Background singers good hustle. NO cigar. Over I enjoyed the performance. .

[@ernietempest6740]

Wow I love her version and she is very beautiful as well .

[@claudiapenna8778]

Stumbled upon this, ah what a treasure

[@hermijnbloemhard6225]

Wow! I like this version..great interpretation!

[@8eileen1]

Fabulous!!!!!!!!!

[@keyboarddancers7751]

That is a very difficult piece to get right. Never heard of her til now which is a great shame and perhaps testimony to how fantastic singers don't get the wider publicity they deserve. Props to the band and to the sharp backing singers too.

[@charlaaustin-harris3781]

Amazing performance. She’s awesome!!

[@kendahlelanier4234]

Love this version!

[@LKaiMadison]

Ok! They did that! Gave it their own spin! Love it! Not everybody can go there!

[@BrunoChazaBass]

*Beautiful*

[@henryharris7926]

She sounds great.

[@p.nicolelawrence1978]

Beautiful voice and engery!

[@sistermachinegun]

Bless those back-up singers...she blows them OUT!!

[@evimair7462]

BackupSänger sind häufig besser als der LeadSänger - sie müssen flexibel sein, sich an unvorhergesehene Situationen (wenn der LeadSänger zB seinen Part vergisst/verpasst) anpassen, gut zusammenhören und es schaffen, auch im Hintergrund gut zu klingen. Und das tun die drei Mädls ABSOLUT. WOW!! Ein HOCH an alle zusammen - absolut coole Version!!!

[@septemberjanuary4636]

They did what they were supposed to!: softly sweentend the backgrounds.

[@claudiorga3231]

¡¡¡QUE FORMIDABLE MUJER, PARA UN FORMIDABLE TEMA!!! No habia tenido el gusto de conocerla.

[@rhondawimberly4237]

I fell in love her voice and this That girl, Mac Arthur Park is the freaking best..Can't playing her...This girl can go..Captiving

[@haroldbrooks4235]

Very nicely done ❤

[@alainalowe9507]

Wow!wow! Wow! This makes me happy. Such talented musicians with an already phenomenal song. Perfection!

[@cuebrod]

This was tough. She did that! Awesome voice!

[@gravitydrums1391]

Great arrangement, Great Playing

[@dpliskow]

I backed up her Dad, Hal Frazier on String bass at the Detroit Playboy Club from 1963 to 1969 and he was a great singer too.

[@MrCcoolg]

Incredible performance! Gotta start looking for her now.

[@bodyprohawaii]

Music is Music!

[@stephanieskyes5777]

I love

[@LadySovjet]

Amazing!! Ashamed to say this but i listen to this version more often than i do Chaka's......like the last part with the piano. Brilliant.

[@tverdij1846]

да, действительно сильно! там и музыканты супер и девочка! БРАВО!

[@drbalalajka]

She's from Florida I think. She moved to Sweden some years ago and we collectively fell in love with her (easy to do, she's not just good looking but also charming) and she became pretty well known here since she toured extensively with a show called Rhapsody in Rock, that is pretty big in Sweden. I think this clip is from one of those tours.

[@marcossobrinho9854]

Absurdamente genial...........love so much

[@oldschool725]

wow that was amazing. with a genius modern twist. love it I love it.

Wowwwww!

[@jrockon7150]

wow!

[@elensantua5783]

I thought the Chaka Khan only has the monopoly on this until i heard this version Simply superb 👌

[@natbfunky]

Wow she's got that it 👉🏾 Factor

[@IllusoryPaperClip]

@paddeyOmalley Most of that is just from the epidemic of auto-tune in most music today. When you hear a real live singer its just not possible to get that kindn of exactness. At least in the first half (where I'm at so far) she has pretty great pitch.

[@jazzrockcountry]

Didn't know Mike Stern played piano!

[@drbalalajka]

You are right about Chaka Khan making it possible to sing it this way. Which version one prefers is another issue. Didn't really hear the pitch problems last time I listened to this but then again I might have been fooled by LaGaylia's looks.

[@marcoantonioleitao1350]

She has a strong voice

[@kulturbakery865]

Beautiful 🎶! Where i can buy this arrangement ? Or is there an big band arrangement ?

[@kdawg180]

a master in class teaching her students while she has a little fun

[@rythmheadquarters]

good job!

[@davidrosswandzilak9951]

If it wasn't for Eddie Jefferson this version won't exist ....he wrote the lyrics not Chaka and she took from him.... This is his arrangement ....

[@priscillaqwilson3324]

That's EXACTLY how I would've sung it😅 BOOM! She/ them/ they did that.

[@marcoantonioleitao1350]

She did the saim version chaka khan

[@truestorytyp]

Någon som känner igen henne från Talang?

[@FunkyKlas]

per lindvall on drums?

[@briansrensen8204]

Swedish Robert Wells on Piano I think. Looks like his band RW Ochestra.

[@genesisplanet3186]

I don't care what anybody Say's, She's got a great voice and puts a nice spin on the song. but the last 2 1/2 mins or so was to much diviation. And NO ONE does it better than ELLA!!

[@tesswonderful4194]

How come no one is watching this? Blows Chaka out!

[@subtituru9486]

[@weskoki]

Stage looks like barbie doll house.

PURÉE, C'EST DU LOURD... ENCORE MEILLEUR QUE CHAKA KHAN. ET QUEL CABOTINAGE ...

[@goodlukeing]

I never knew this had lyrics.

[@msl5253]

I know I'm way late here. But yes, those were written by Arif Mardin and Chaka Khan. Lagaylia's singing those lyrics here, with her own flourishes and some vamps built upon the original Chaka/Arif Mardin arrangements, which themselves based off Dizzy's, Frank Papareli original composition.
