I love this woman! Voice of an angel.

What a voice.. some of her short mid accents during her low octave passages are insanely great sounding.

Wow - freaked me out a bit when she went down the full octave. What a range.

Great!

Wow! She stole my heart eight years ago when I fist dicovered her, and she has stolen my heart again with this video. Thank you for sharing

Woot for Happy Rhodes!

Love the clarity of the voice in either high or low register. Very Kate Bush-like on the higher end, just less manic sounding.

I'm going to bend the rules for this one.

I agree... I dont believe there are 3218 videos better than this one.

Crazy. If I heard this instead of watching it, I would have sworn it was two different people signing.

I'm the YouTube poster of this. Glad to see this get some attention outside YouTube.

Gerviase: Her most well-known song (at least on the various file-sharing networks) is "When The Rain Came Down", mis-attributed as a duet by Kate Bush and Annie Lennox.

missed this the first time through, glad you bent the rules, much thanks.

And I thank you k8_fan for posting it. And this is the first posting of Happy here. I love all her music. (Strange cover art though) Hopefully it will inspire people to listen to other Ecto artists.

One of the other Happy Rhodes videos I've posted shows off her range even better. She covers the Queen song "Lily of the Valley" and she accidentially left the capo on her guitar from the previous song. So she starts singing a full step higher than intended.

whenever I hear/see her, I cannot believe that a talent this large is so relatively unknown

Beautiful voice! Where can I purchase her albums?

Weird... I click on this videos tags and 2 of the top 3 results are about female robots.

k8_fan/buggy2benot, can you post some more stuff here? We likey.

She just joined MySpace! http://www.myspace.com/happyrhodes

I'll let k8_fan post the next Happy Rhodes, while I look for another unexposed artist. And thank you k8_fan for all the Happy videos on YouTube (and nowhere else)

Beautiful and amazing!!!

Sounds like Kate Bush, but I like this singer better!

Wish there was a video of "Life on Mars" (not the Bowie song). It showcases her lower register even better. Puts Lisa Gerrard to shame, even!

Glad to see more exposure to Happy.

I'll post some of the videos we have on YouTube later this evening.

Happy is brilliant and unique, but please...all the other female singers mentioned on this thread are *also* brilliant and talented (especially Kate Bush - my nick is a rubic). This is not the world of "Highlander", and there can be more than one. The record industry has shortchanged women for years with the belief that "we already have a girl singer on the label" (never mind that they have a few dozen nearly identical male-fronted bands).

Happy's CDs can be purchased via her web site auntiesocialmusic.com

Thanks to all the people who voted on this and thank you buggytobenot for posting this here. I'm k8_fan's wife and a long-time Happy Rhodes fan. I love it when new people discover her amazing talent, especially since she's not making music anymore (her last album was 8 years ago). I maintain her MySpace page, and I also maintain a song sample site at http://wretchawry.com/happy/samples. Btw, Happy Rhodes is her real name. She lives on a farm in upstate New York and has a day job now.

Happy's albums (she has 10!) can be bought at her web site at http://auntiesocialmusic.com plus her last album, Many Worlds Are Born Tonight, is on CD Baby and iTunes.

Thank you for watching/listening. I just posted another video, the one that k8_fan mentions above.

I want to download these videos. I'll offer free hosting space for higher def movies of Happy if someone has them (and if its legal.)

Here you go deathcow...

Beauticious! We want more....

I don't think the ones on the site above are any higher resolution, but they are more easily accessible than ripping from YouTube. I won't be back home for another couple of weeks, but when I do I can make some stuff in full resolution. All the videos except the one in this thread and one other have been shot by me, so *I'm* OK with it.

thanks!

came back for another dose of happy today (silver star promote)

*music *save

Video added to music channel (music called by gold star member farhad2000)

Politics??! Is it because of the Kate Bush talk??

I just noticed this got promoted. Thanks deathcow! Weird about the politics placement. Yeah, it must be the Kate Bush reference.

this is still cool!
