Rachel Flowers - Hearing Is Believing - film trailer

[@TheMaidensTrooper]

I don't have any words to express what Rachel has done for me. About a year ago I lost all desire to play after a band I was in did a couple of reunion gigs.Been playing professionally since 16 and now being 52 after the band broke up I was devastated. Even though I was 50 at the time of the break up I had not touched a keyboard or guitar for almost two years. Then the reunion gigs came and went last year in the winter of 2016. I set up my instruments but didn't' practice or play them. That is until about a month ago when I came across a video of Rachel playing Foreplay by Boston at NAAM. A piece I've always wanted to play! I was floored watching Rachel play it and it inspired me to get back into playing. The past month I cannot wait to get home and get to practicing and playing again. I found the love for music again and not dreading practicing! I dunno whether I needed a break of someone brought Rachel into my life to inspire me I really dunno. I do know I'm thankful and grateful I seen the video. Blessed Be and Thank You.

Thank you god for sending this special talent to us

[@AKASCOOCH]

Amen

[@danguee1]

There is no god. That is just something that primitive peoples worship. Thank Rachel for her special talent and the drive to perfect and expand it. Well done Rachel, Girl - god had nothing to do with it.....

[@cmichaelanthonyimages2197]

This young lady is amazing. Her talent is overwhelmingly exceptional. God has gifted us with musical brilliance. What her eyes cannot see, her gift of musical feelings brings the listener to musical imaginations.

[@briane5706]

Very rarely is there such a person that is so gifted and blessed with talent. Genius is just about sufficient an adjective for this lady.

[@flytothesunmusic]

So magnificent!!!! Thank you for being you, Rachel. ❤

[@stageright1928]

Dweezil is a good guy for sharing the stage with Rachel, and she for sharing her talent.

[@pilchard2000]

Who doesn't love Rachel.......................................

[@warrenrayledbetter9957]

Wow. Rachel's world is a world of purely sounds and smells.

[@Haroldsahjd]

Definitely a great artist, pianist, guitarist and I do not know how many more we can not see but Rachel, after all this has to be a family with a lot of love, you filled my heart today Rachel, still shining and I wish I could bring you to Colombia Bogota. thanks for sharing your light.

[@fazerman2003]

Didn't know Rachel could actually sing as well. What a lovely voice, a real multi talented lady.

[@3rdaxis649]

This must be one of the most inspirational people on the planet. Bless your soul Rachel. You ARE a pure gift from God.

[@elbus1969]

Just....................you are...no words to describe...love you, Rachel!

[@larkinoo]

Rachel, I am so glad that you are keeping Keith Emerson's music alive. I've been listening to ELP since 1973, my all time favorite band, and have seen them in concert three times. Thank you so much for your work doing Keith's wonderful music. By the way I loved Greg's vocals [ what a truly beautiful voice ] and his guitar works and Carl Palmer, in my opinion, THE world's finest, most entertaining drummer. Please keep up your good works Rachel. Signed, Doug, a big fan.

[@TheUncleBilly]

I have been a fan of Keith Emerson's for 40+ years. I think Rachel Flowers does him proud with her playing of his music. :-)

[@victorsantoy9469]

I heard playing flying in a blue dream on that keyboard I didn't know she was flying wow unbelievable! God did make special people, there are special people walking around on the planet she is one of them God bless you Rachel flowers. I forgot to say we are all special we just need to tap into certain things.

[@lorenzogiovagnoli]

Many congratulations to you and Rachel. She really is great.

[@MattLeger]

Ms. Flowers, you would be a remarkable talent even if you hadn't been blind nearly since birth, as listening to your music for about two minutes shows anyone. That you've overcome such a difficult physical challenge to become someone respected and mentored by some of the most famous and gifted musicians in the world, and a successful artist in your own right (on a dozen different instruments, yet!), speaks volumes about how much grit, determination and love of music there is in you, in addition to your incredible talent. I hope we get a great many more years to enjoy your work, and congratulations and blessings to you from a lifelong musical wannabe.

[@sirpops7]

What a Absolute Honor it would be just to be your Friend.

[@ephesians.6]

What an absolute angel. Truly.

[@umajunkcollector]

The braille on her T shirt sez, PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS.

[@drumstud4u]

that is adorable! it makes me want to learn braille...

[@mhdz10]

Thanks! Actually that t-shirt made me think about taking lessons on braille :)

[@fetermcblues]

Remarkable , as anybody here cant wait to see the film from a musician perspective and a true fan ... Peace !!

[@mac9955]

The Lord works in mysterious ways, love your work Rachel.

[@fideliusconcrete4871]

I have to admit I didn't know anything about Rachel. But yesterday evening I saw her playing with Zappa plays Zappa, and what she did there was simply extraordinaire, maybe fantastic. We are so lucky to have her and I'm looking forward to many great things she'll create! Let's praise this young lady, she really deserves that!

[@MrMjp58]

Her musicianship and outrageous skill on so many instruments, plus her graceful demeanour are among the few things that provide real hope in a sometimes rotten world.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Truly awe inspiring, not letting a disability get in the way of expressing herself. Her ability is mind blowing. I used to play keyboards in a band, didnt do a bad job but when I see Rachel playing I was crap by comparison !

[@etiennecfourie777]

Lorenzo DeStefano...thank you!

[@ClassicalJams]

Rachel is simply awesome and I am happy to see that you are doing a documentary on this remarkable young woman!!! Such a kind soul and an amazing virtuosic musical talent! Jeanie, you're a great Mom. Rachael, we love you :-))) ~Jackie

[@rickmakoul1439]

Such a gifted inspiration to the world. 8 years ago and she is playing Piano, Midi, Keyboards, Flute, Ukulele, Guitar, Bass, Orchestra Xylophone, etc. WOW! ....would love to know how many MORE instruments she has learned to play!

[@drumstud4u]

I first heard Rachel doing an incredible rendition of some of Keith Emerson's (ELP) work and was completely blown away. It wasn't until today that I heard her play guitar and sing and OMG!!! she is absolutely amazing at those as well! Who wouldn't be a fan of someone who could brilliantly emulate two of music's creative geniuses? (Emerson & Zappa) God bless you Rachel and Jeanie and keep blessing us with your music

[@raylarkin5004]

What an exceptionally sweet gifted young lady ⚘

[@3rdandlong]

I'm just thrilled Rachel has a really strong admiration for the same keyboard player and music that I do: Keith Emerson and ELP. And the ability to play it.

[@craigpage381]

Rachel 💐 you are inspiration. I am very proud of you!

[@wilbertcook5076]

Rachel is a remarkable young woman she found he sight in sound she is above a musician she lives in it. Keep to up young lady your music will inspire others✌🏻

[@MrAlfredoferreira]

wonderful and special talent. When she Plays Keith Emerson is unbelievable.

[@chriscullen6949]

if god would allow me to meet racheal man im in tears

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Wonderful. Inspiring. Heart-warming. Stunning music. Nothing but positive vibes. And I love it.

[@thefool2007]

Rachel- you are a gem of human kind. I’ve been a musician all my life and never heard anyone quite like you. Your depth of expression is moving- flowing with emotions and feeling. I hope God blesses you. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@joeramsey1876]

Can't wait to see this movie what a gift what a pleasure for us

[@ivorosina2329]

Rachel have the soul of Keith Emerson inside the earth. She is incredible and great!!! È bravissima...

[@steadfastcoward]

I and others at Yesfans.com have been following Rachel for some time now and we adore the sheer among of talent, energy and love that goes into what she has accomplished! Please keep Keith's memory alive and THANK YOU ALL for sharing your music and lives with us.

[@Mr.Manga85]

Dear Janie,your daughter is a pure and amazing musical talent,a genius indeed.What she can do is beyond incredible and astonishing.Hats off to you,sweet Rachel,you're like an angel fallen on this earth.Lots of love to you and your daughter,Janie.

[@moopoo2670]

An angel!!❤️

[@ManyThingsSeem]

What a talent, what a sweetheart.

[@KaydetKim]

Hey Mrs. Flowers, you probably don't remember me but I along with the rest of the Hueneme Drama club worked with Rachel on the play Aladdin my Freshman year. I didn't talk much with Rachel, nor did i see her on a regular basis outside of working on the play, but every time i saw her she always had a smile on her face. watching her play was like watching a dolphin swimming in the water. completely natural, as if in that very moment she was in a world far beyond ours and she was free to do whatever she wished. It makes me very happy that she is receiving the recognition and adoration that she has always deserved.

[@Bentom86]

Aaaargh!!! I only found this clip a month after the deadline to place my vote for that trailer. It was maybe a couple of years ago that that came across the clip of Rachel playing Stevie Wonder's "Superwoman" and I've been a huge fan ever since. Just like Stevie as a youngster, it seems Rachel has that same gift for music. In a world polluted by Biebers, Gagas, and Iggy Azaleas, this is a REAL star who deserves her own place on a grand stage. Really looking forward to seeing this film!

[@EmileOudeWolbers]

Dear Jeanie and Rachel. I discovered Rachel's music while searching youtube for Zappa's music. Wow... and really.. I haven't many words more to say. I am touched... not only hearing and even more feeling the energy of Rachel playing this all. It inspired my internal flame for becoming and doing creative again... it was hidden for so many years. Thank you.

[@ivanportojr]

Rachell you are a big big soul... no doubt about that! Thanks for being here with us. Bringing it a bit of your light to this earth citizens. Thank youuuuu.

[@richardrye7120]

I am a New Amazed fan Rachel Flowers . Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous Keyboards / Independence Mastery / arrangements & singing !!!! . I am a Believer . God Bless your Journey . Amen

[@RobertAnderson6969]

I'm kinda late to the party. I thought I saw something on Rachel before, but I can't remember when. Then I'm seeing all these beautiful videos, by chance. You're a beautiful soul, Rachel. And thank you Jeanie Flowers for your channel, and gifted daughter!

[@wethepeople9488]

Amazing you are totally blessed and gifted listening to you play Keith Emerson totally blew my mind

[@rd40082]

Great musician, girl and she has a wonderful mother also

[@pdbass]

What an amazing talent. That tune @ 2:29 is amazing! When is her album coming out?

[@geradomendez8906]

Raquelita. Eres una persona excelente Talentosa, supersensible. magistral. Y m aravillosa interprete de piano. Guitarra, además de singer...... Jamas retrocedes... Siempre avanzando

[@richardrohn8715]

Rachel When I first heard your music, the very first time I thought, wow!. I was very impressed, she was doing some Keith Emerson songs. I had no idea the first time hearing her, that she is handicapped. It really touched me, because at first, I just heard the music. Even though she plays alot of Keith Emerson music, she is in a class all by herself. And I will support her, just like I did Keith, until my end.

[@man4Sam]

I am so blown away I just HAVE to buy her music! So inspiring! Her jazzy arrangement of Magnolia by Taylor Eigsti and Becca Stevens is heavenly!

[@entubadao]

Sometimes God send us beautiful flowers in a slightly different vase, so we can learn how to admire much more the flower, than the vase...

[@mikerandolph4997]

A remarkable young woman! I was moved to tears after listening!

[@VitoLoIacono]

Just discovered this, what an amazing mum you are Jeanie, and what an exceptional lady Rachel is. All the very well deserved best

[@shadowsp8888]

You are amazing Rachel! I have always said to myself and my students that you have to feel the music. Close your eyes and become one with it. Although it's been 35 years since I was a piano teacher....LOL I still feel that way. I close my eyes and become one. God bless you and will be first in line to see the movie !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevehoy1927]

by chance i found this channel. or maybe not by chance. Great Job Rachel!!! You are such an inspiration! you have another Sub. God Bless

[@DEFKNIGHT]

She sings too. I knew she'd have a good voice just from hearing her laugh. But singing and playing as she does is a task, I'm sure. And here voice is so fresh and clear.. please keep it up!

[@mheadley60]

Wow. A wonderfully talented young lady. It's the pure joy that comes from her throughout all clips that astounds me. Many people have the technical ability to play instruments. It's when the music played on those instruments comes from the soul, from a place of joy, that makes the music so wonderful, so touching. And the clip playing with Dweezil Zappa was absolutely amazing. Inca Roads is a beautiful piece of music by Frank Zappa. But a technical piece too. Rachel absolutely knocks one out of the park on that piece. Great stuff coming from this awesome young woman! Warms my heart to hear her play.

[@SynthMagic]

She is awesome!!!!! Have been following Rachel's music for a few years now. Great to see she is getting the recognition she deserves!

[@cerrem1]

Rachel is a beautiful soul..... It comes through in all the notes she plays...

[@grandibarros]

Dear Rachel Floewrs, like its immensely trabaho, whether in pop, especially in transcriptions of the works of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, jazz and more what you do with brilliance and genius. I loved this trailer. A big hug. God bless you Eduardo Grandinetti de Barros- Belo Horizonte - Minas Gerais. Brasil

[@ELPERRITOENEAS]

Que talento de mujer!... Siempre estoy al pendiente de sus trabajo. También extraño a Keith Emerson

[@17drums]

Can't think of a better cause to donate to! C'mon folks! We've enjoyed Rachel's music for years. Time to step up!

[@j8577798yt]

She's absolutely amazing !!

[@operating]

When I heard her play those Keith Emerson parts, I wanted to cry because Keith will live on. But then I searched for more on Rachel on KZbin. Such a special person. Such sensitivity to the musical world. I will look forward to watching this documentary. Thank you.

[@kfleetwood]

I love everything Rschel does, and my wife really enjoys when I play Rachel's cd in the car. I would only like to see her do more guitar stuff. After seeing her with Dweezil Zappa, I realized she could also be on a list of top female guitarists, as well as a top keyboardist. All the best to Rachel and her family.

[@Tommyr]

Such an amazing young woman. Such talent! GO RACHEL!

[@Michaelebills]

I love you music Rachel... you are a beautiful cazy talented person... God has blessed you with such a awesome gift.

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

Loved this, surprised to hear the opening tune for the mexican comic show ''El Chavo del 8'' @1:14, it's a classic show of the 80's for all spanish speakers! nostalgic...our entire childhood around that series. Rachel is amazing, love to all of you the Flower family :)

[@peteketners5939]

I just now listened to the title cut of "Going Somewhere", and what struck me hard was that Rachel's acoustic guitar playing reminds me so much of early Acoustic Alchemy. Emotionally touching and wonderful!

[@paulmcclernan8549]

She's simply amazing, and best of all she's a Prog Rock fan!

What a wonderful talent! Thank you Rachel for sharing it. Warmest Regards, John

[@jamesmccormack1786]

Kudos to this talented lady....from 1959 to 1964(3rd to 8th grades) l attended schools in Whittier,'s. They had blind students there and we were exposed to Braille and the difficulties they had to overcome. The two I remembered best were Patti Byrd...she was an accomplished violinist by the third grade and an amazing person. Also Gary Schmidt a fantastic piano player....these folks I admire and still do and feel small that even with my having the gift of these people are giants and did so much for me on my personal journey through life and my dealings with people that I have met along the path.....Thank You

[@iVsee538]

She is a blessed person and very adorable

[@oneofmany1087]

Oh how I LOVE the ice cream Man story!!!

Have been a huge fan for years. One of the the best interpreters of ELP's music I've heard.
