Rachel Flowers - Argent - Hold Your Head Up @NAMM 2015

Video from Paul Boothroyd of Rachel Flowers covering Argent's Hold Your Head Up

[@richardmiller191]

Unbelievable!! Thank You Rachael for sharing your incredible music and talent. You are God's gift to us all. I can see how much passion you have for your music and you deserve that. I'm just an amateur musician with nowhere NEAR your talent but I know how great it feels to create music. Please don't ever stop. You were meant to be a musician!!

[@jess8075]

I am speechless, so much talent, my God.

[@geoffreybuckingham689]

I knew she could play like an angel…but her singing voice is truly heaven sent. So naive, so clear, so sweet. I wish her every success.

[@peterbeck2950]

Every time I hear Rachael, I believe she IS a gift to us all...to be loved & appreciated.

[@abrarahmed1888]

This piece and Tarkus by K Emerson must be one of the hardest keyboard pieces to play. Yet she moves across multiple keyboards and stops so fluently as if she was sighted. Some things are beyond human knowledge. Truly transcendent!

[@nonahyobusiness8063]

Every video I see of this young lady blows me away. What a massive talent!

[@cretoolsen5031]

I've been drumming 46 yrs. when my parents divorced in 1970, I decided to start playing drums, I learned by ear, and played to countless albums, which helped me greatly for timing and drum fills, this girl is a person I would be honored to drum with, I sang lead vocals in a Gospel Quartet for 12 years, we need to give people Happy feelings and fun in their lives,

[@cretoolsen5031]

+truthteller what are you saying about telling the truth.

[@bassinbillRC5300]

I would pay to see and hear you and Rachel play together.

[@michaelsoto5542]

Rick Wakeman said this was his favorite rock organ solo of all time & she tears it up! She plays crisply & with intensity. What a huge talent she is! She certainly would make Rod Argent proud.

[@richardcampbell2261]

I agree 100% Rachael knocks it out of the park!

[@michaelkaus8128]

ABSOLUTELY amazing! AND have you heard her play guitar! She is an amazing talent, and she shouldn't be singled out as blind. She's just top shelf and a great talent.

[@andrewgoldbergs4474]

One of the most awe-dropping performers out there..multi instrumentalist playing out-of-this-world covering some of the most difficult arrangements in modern music with ease..all whilst blind!

[@klyvemurray]

As an old school Hammond player, I got a bit teary during the first couple of verses....8 bars into the solo...I was sobbing like baby!! I've been trying to "cut" that solo for decades. Rachel does it note perfect, or perhaps I should say 2 note perfect, 'coz there's 2 solos happing at the same time (contrapunctual) + left foot bass + lower manual chord comping. I'm officially Gobsmacked!!

[@ronluckenbach9492]

OMG sold on this young lady..she got it all right..including Rod Argents verve and energy!

[@Redbuzzcut]

I've watched this vid 4 maybe 5 times in the past few years and it amazes every time. Her ear for Rod Argent's delivery is remarkable. Thanks for the post!

[@scarakus]

This is a Killer Organ tune. Currently holding my breath in anticipation for the long solo in the middle...

[@rgenericson5361]

She killed it!

[@anneslater5437]

Rachel always nails it!

[@marcdewey1242]

I remember when this song was played on the radio a lot in 1972 contained one of the best keyboard solos ever along with Deep Purples Lazy by Jon Lord.

[@BenjWarrant]

Astonishing. One of my favourite keyboard rock pieces. Gorgeous to listen to Rachel's version.

[@thewatcher5271]

How Incredible Is This!?! I Was Listening To This In '72 When I Was 14 & She Nails It! Thanks For Sharing. I Just Had To Add, She's Playing Bass With Her Foot & She's Doing The Album Version, Not The 45 Release We Heard On The Radio. Thank You.

[@edljnehan2811]

I hear you I'm the same age and was listening to this as well😅

[@kermit3421]

First time I heard her sing!!!! Amazing!

[@stoneblue1795]

Great technique and sound. Neat that a younger person would have an interest in this great old classic. I liked it.

[@beamer.electronics]

Stunning, why have I just heard this now - thank you YT algo'

[@ReneeNme]

I love the history of Rachel's musical journey. Awe inspiring to say the least.

[@stefanvukusic318]

It was a deeply heartfelt performance by a great virtuoso. Her playing was perfect, and she knew it!❤❤❤

[@JohnSanborn-y2n]

I love how she does her little dance at the end. She knows she crushed that song. Heck I would be happy too if I could crush songs like Rachel does.😁

[@kyles5513]

I love how excited she gets at the end of the songs she plays

[@anneslater5437]

Yeah me too, such pure joy..

[@stingfan16ify]

Brilliant as always Rachel!!!

[@SIXSTRING63]

She is truly a gift from God for us all to enjoy her amazing talent.

[@ogrebattle22763]

Rachel is just amazingly talented.... God Bless her...

[@joynthis]

I love all of Argent's song.

[@wesleycolemanmusic]

Underrated band imo. Especially their later Circus and Nexus albums.

[@advokris]

Rachael knows how to bring these songs back to life.

[@anneslater5437]

Thanks rachel, loved hearing this old classic revived..perfect rendition xx

[@keithshwalbe6981]

It's lovely to see the joy in your face when you play Rachel. . And dare I say it. Looking such a pretty young lady too. I'd be very grateful to you if you would pass my sentiments on to her Jeannie. They are meant in the most respectfully way. Thank you.

[@jimdartouzos2127]

Awesomeness.....Total Absolute Amazing Awesomeness

[@abirdynumnum9612]

Virtuosity at its best.

Rachael is a True Gift from God himself.. I can listen to her all day long and play the drums for her for free if I had to... Jospeh

[@stumpusMaximus]

Superb! Everyone is watching the keyboard. Watch her *feet*

[@MrPhotodoc]

Not only can she sing and play multiple instruments, but she can program, produce and record. There really is no end to her talent.

[@chasmenear7130]

She is fantastic! (As always)

[@turdeaugottago114]

stunning! just crushes that tune!

[@chrisdb4278]

You rock. Was not aware there were so many drawbar changes in this song. Adjusting those on the fly is another skill unto itself.

[@jenniferfoxhoven5480]

My mind is blown, she is a-mazing!! 💕😊👏🎹🎶! Watch her play Foreplay/Longtime by Boston,unreal 😊🎹🎶💕

[@justsingit72]

Wow Rachel.... You do a great job on vocals as well... Just awesome... and I'm so glad you like the music I grew up with! I wanna play in a band with you!

[@davkarshobby2468]

This was a hit in 1972 - they don't write them like that any more.

[@jadams3427]

It is amazing. Rachel plays pretty much only my favourite music.... and very well too. I would love to hear her playing anything Barbara Dennerlein does, but I reckon there is some original stuff in Rachel's head too, and we may be lucky enough to enjoy it someday.

[@richardshansky3040]

Her original CD is out!

[@Arminchen]

Almost forgot Argent... ha, And now this!.... lovi it!!!!!

[@houseaccount4746]

Frick she's awesome and I love her smile!

[@jimb689]

[@awaken77]

Rachel plays with passion, always smile on her face

[@CPGFdeLevis]

Rachel crushes it...every time.

[@justsingit72]

I came back for another listen.... Rachel... You were fully absorbed in this performance.... although I bet you could have handled more! Too awesome for words!

[@treybull712]

I’m wondering if Rod Argent has seen this great interpretation of this song. Wow! I’m totally blown away by Rachel.

[@mlbolts72]

[@Mr39036ce]

She is good but that keyboard is amazing with that overloaded Leslie sound! Dead on!!

[@krisscanlon4051]

Woah did it again RF!

[@morbidmanatee5550]

Great voice too! Will buy tickets to RFB in Cleveland Blossom next year ;)

[@iraidacarpin]

[@jakespeed63]

Truly awesome 😎

Amazing! ... Rachel ! I do not know to say ...

[@jlucasound]

Rachel is SO Good!! And Does EVERYTHING! And Well! I want to see her play drums. I'll bet she can.

[@RobertMinsk]

She mainly plays drums on the keyboard as show during Zomby Woof kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2i0pGhslMmpns0 She has also played around a bit at Pulse Drumming facebook.com/kim.brower.507/videos/1999581196936416/

[@merlinhotspurs]

Incredible

[@TimKCSportsFan]

Killer keyboard work

[@Kris.G]

2:05 I felt that frustration! I sometimes wonder how quickly can Rachel learn the layout of a new equipment. Keys are keys, they're always the same more or less but sliders, knobs and switches that's totally a different thing.

[@wassupdoc2780]

She kicks freakin ace!

[@dougrhine2499]

Rod would be impressed

[@crazypainter56]

How does she memorize all this stuff--??-------------Incredible

[@paulsto6516]

She IS all this stuff.

[@michaelkaus8128]

Remember-she's kicking foot bass at the same TIME . Geez- I have trouble paling KEYS and singing at the same time time!

[@stepanrazin3187]

Она гениальна!

[@rockroller247]

Hold your head up Aw aw aw hold your head up Aw aw

[@louisemayrand1549]

She is pretty well
