Midnight Train To Georgia, Renee Geyer

[@nevilleanitelea1372]

I snuck into Harbourside brasserie underage and she had Mark Williams, Erana Clarke and Margaret Urlich doing her back-up vocals. What a treat. She was doing some Roberta Flack - heaven

Renee Geyer...you rock!!!

[@zabaleta66]

Renee has always had a big following in New Zealand.....especially amongst us Maori. I'm sure one of us went across the ditch with Cook and fathered an ancestor of hers! 😉

[@pakauputairi2855]

nah she got cook island blood in her..

[@garycody1929]

2 Maori backing vocalists

[@melfee3482]

If he was a Maori Jew...could be there are a few in Northland NZ

[@svendbosanvovski4241]

Given that there have been so many great Maori vocalist over the years, that is a tremendous compliment. I saw her live a few years ago and let me tell you, she still gives 100% to her fan.

[@svendbosanvovski4241]

If you get a chance to see Renee live, do. She gives her heart and soul to the audience and is one of the best live performers you are likely to see away from the big, expensive performance halls.

Renee Geyer is one the most amazing soul singers Australia has ever produced. First time I heard her in the 70's I got goosebumps. Incredible talent !!! Where is she now?

Rene is still performing. Saw her at Camelot music lounge singing in April 2019.

Saw Renee for the first time on count down when I was 15, fell in love, love her and her music now, this is the best version I have heard, and my god! the back up singers! jade marry me.

[@salzrock]

This is the best cover/version of "Midnight train to Georgia" Renee's version has got so much groove to it, you can never get sick of listening to this.

[@hapuka66jones37]

Couldn't agree more. Geyer makes this song 'hers and hers alone'. For me, the original is perfection, but this band of exceptional musicians have somehow built on that perfection. Transcendent.

[@josephwinder6878]

Yep, the memories. She's an Aussie legend. Renee, Marcia, they both copped a lot of flack back in the day. But they carried on and proved everyone wrong. I saw her a few times, they were great shows.

[@alfredozotti140]

I love Renee Gayer she is a wonderful singer full of Soul. I remember when I first met her at the Musician Club in Sydney. Don't know if she remembers me but I played at the grand piano with her just one song. At that time, in the 80s, she had a terrific drummer if I am not mistaken his name was Greg Taylor a black man that was a wonderful musician and a nice gentleman. Good times those there were lots of good musicians there Leon Berger, Barry Leaf and the Wiggles the then Cockroaches

[@davidneville7157]

The drummer was the black American Greg Tell. Superb drummer with amazing technique and sensational feel. Played on the album "Ready to Deal". Renee and band played on the Don Lane show, and Lane's guitarist Phil Rafael said they could not believe how good Greg was and his power with rolls at the end of the song..... More than 40 years ago.....

[@kevinmccloud8]

Yes Renee, I know this song, Gladys Knight sang it for me, Kevin McCloud AKA Tapu Tariau. But I must say, this is a candidate for my favorite version of all time & I've only listened to it twice, I've listened to numerous covers, Skyville being one of my favorites. Mark & his vaine do an incredible job as backup. Mark, Yesterday Was Just The Beginning Of My Life was a favourite song of mine when I was at high school & also Brandy, You're A Fine Girl by Bunny Walters. Kia ora, U2 (Irish band) who sang about One Tree Hill where one of their Kiwi roadies who died came from, I also come from there, remembering the observatory there also. BTW, have FUN in prison, paedophiles. Grease is the word - John Travolta : ) ❤️❤️❤️⛅🤸🏼‍♀🙏🏽
