Just an old lady making videos for entertainment and information purposes. I suffer from severe insomnia, so my videos might often have mistakes in them because my brain isn't properly awake/functioning. I do the best I can, but mistakes will without a doubt happen. And with YT not allowing videos to be properly edited once released, those mistakes won't be able to be fixed. So y'all will just have to live with them being there, sorry! 😅
If you are a music reactor: The videos NOT containing any music video clips will be marked with: [REACTOR SAFE, CONTAINS NO MUSIC VIDEO SPOILERS] in the description, so that you know you can safely watch them without getting any spoilers from unseen music videos. So make sure you check the description before playing the video ❤

Ok…let me see…I would say Tennessee Ernie started it…but Florida Geoff took it to the finish line…in SPADES! and shovels…and picks…and sledge hammers…and ladders…oh and lots of clones singing harmony! Way to go Florida with-the-deepest-voice-ever Geoff!! ❤
Джефф - (не побоюсь этого слова) великий реаниматор музыки.Он даёт новую жизнь ,старым песням и возвращает в наше время.Учитывая ,что VP поет в стиле а капелла + битбокс или как "Джефф и три брата",он сочиняет мелодию не для партий инструментов,а для голосов.Создание ритмической части песни(ударные инструменты) - тоже звуки голоса.Так как Джефф Обладатель невероятного баса(как правило этот тип голоса с узким направление на эстраде)опера,хор,церковное пение)В его аранжировках он нашел ему применение.В сочинении партии баса,ритмических и солирующих голосов,гармоничное сочетание между собой,дают произведению новую жизнь и выводят совершенно на другой уровень.Во всех песнях и композициях мелодия узнается с первых секунд! А это уже победа,мастерство и труд аранжировщика и профессиональность вокалистов группы VP!Творческих удач им всем!
Thank you Huldra for this side to side comparison 😘 I didn’t know the original before. I like the original - but Geoff is Geoff 🥰 No need to say more 😁😘
Have you seen the one someone made of The Headless Horseman with Geoff and Thurl Ravenscroft? It has Geoff on one speaker and Thurl on the other, playing at the same time, so it’s best with headphones.
This shows again that Geoff is a master of adding bridges and whatever it needs to make a song not only his own but also give it a certain touch. It feels like he completed the song with these added parts. Thank you huldra.
There's a great side by side comparison between Geoff's "The Headless Horseman" and that of Thurl Ravenscroft. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Li9q1p8fW8w.html
I grew up listening to Tennessee Ford, this was the first video I had seen of Geoff and that was a year ago. I fell in love with his voice then. I prefer his version now.
I’m especially impressed by the way he and his clones seem to make eye contact with each other. He’s not just looking in their direction, but actually looking at them. The only way I can think of to explain it is that he has someone else standing/sitting there to focus on.
I think Ernie's version was my first favorite song. At least the first I remember 70 or so years later. It was in Enid, OK and could have been on WLS out of Chicago but was probably a local station. It is also the First of Geoff's songs I heard.
Whenever I'm watching the video, when it gets to the part with "if my left one don't get you then the right one will" I think "yeah, and I bet he could back that statement up, too." I wouldn't want to be the one who pushed Geoff into a fight.
Equal goodness! Neither better than the other, just different. Still, I'd be lying if I said that Bassiness didn't give me quivers! Although the "Well, bless my soul!" definitely goes to Geoff. 💙
Geoff gives this song a “chain gang” feel. That feeling of dread, kinda like a “dear Lord…another day in the pit…🤣🤣🤣🙌🏻 So definitely a more mournful, hopeless sound…as we always say…he makes songs “make sense..a whole new way of interpreting what it SHOULD sound like…..I hope that rambling made sense…😂😂😂🙌🏻❤️ Geoff wins again!!
I think part of that ‘chain gang feel’ comes from his inspired use of the tools. While they echo mining tools sounds, that kind of metallic clang of the pick ax sounds a lot like the jangle of chains!
The Ernie version is like so many story songs Geoff has covered: very simple, repetitive and with a very limited vocal range. Then Geoff gets ahold of it and it’s now complex, interesting and with an astonishing vocal range. He is the best!
That’s kind of like what I said about Shenandoah. I’d never heard of the song before, so I liked up the original first. It left me flat and did nothing for me. Then Geoff breathed life into it and made it a song.
