The video of Gigi …
The video of Gigi at at the Trump Taj Mahal is unreal!
This is absolutely the most perfect and authentic as to the original 1956 studio recording I’ve seen or heard in my lifetime. And YES, it stands the hair up on the back of my head!
-I first heard this song as a 5 year old in 1956 and forever will ociate it with the “open drives” with my family to our favorite vacation spot which was always San Diego County, CA
It’s held it’s grip on my soul ever since.
Gogi is amazing!

Thank you for …
Thank you for posting this video. Gogi is a wonderful singer, lovely, poised and so talented. I love “Wayward Wind” also - one of my favorites. When I think of all the talented ladies, especially of the 50’s era, I remember how classy they looked and sounded. It’s great to read here just how she is still performing, sounding as wonderful as always, and to know that she has not been forgotten. Thanks again for posting. - Paula

Keep the comments …
Keep the comments coming. I do send her the links to the pages as do her relatives so I know it really touches her when she sees this stuff.
She is a miracle of nature. I always tell her she’s a physiological phenomenon as there’s just no explaining the straight, high, solid, rock steady breath control and hair raising power she still has. GOD when She goes up in a wail then pulls back into that steady whisper with absolute perfect pitch & control & you’re looking at her now…UNREAL.

I’m glad to hear this about her. I need to get one of her cds, as I always enjoy it when I do get to hear her sing.

CRIPES! ADAM. I …
CRIPES! ADAM. I just chatted with her this weekend she’s doing OK AND She’s not LIKE 88!
Call your Aunt. She’s still performing for the Palm Springs Follies….When she can fit them in her schedule.
AND She still sounds the SAME! All of her range and in person she blows the hair back on the heads of those in the audience.
OK she’s 80ish but no singer ever kept her voice into their even their 50s. Gogi’s a phenomenon.

Gogi sounds great …
Gogi sounds great as always. I have rarely seen her perform, and I was struck by how big-boned and healthy she is, but with that 50s-style tiny waist that could only be from wearing that device of torture- the girdle. I don’t know if they still even sell them anymore. Although the clip is not in color, I can tell Gogi’s eyes are gorgeous- clear,
bright blue.

Whoa! That’s what …
Whoa! That’s what you call singing!!! Gorgeous voice.

She’s still singing …
She’s still singing and her voice is unnaturally untouched by time. All her range and control still there. None of that unstable wobbly vibrato that ALL female singers get.
She can blow you out of your seat in the tenth row.
Greatest singer on earth…but I’m biased. I love her.

Me and my Mom who …
Me and my Mom who is ailing watched a soprano version of this on a very old episode of the Lawrence Welk Show. Mom complained that Gogi Grant sang it much better and of course I found the original on You Tube. Thanks for posting. Made my mom’s evening.
Best,

What a fantastic voice! Good follow-up to Wayward Wind, should have been bigger for longer.

This was the …
This was the followup to “The Wayward Wind” and didn’t become the big hit everyone expected. Why, who knows? Grant is never less than great in any record she ever made.
