Showstoppers
Compilation featuring Mahalia Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald, Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield, Kate Bush, Bjork and Jeff Buckley - these performances all have the wow factor in common.
This compilation is a companion piece to the Showstoppers episode of Gregory Porter's Popular Voices, celebrating bravura singers who bring the house down with their showstopping vocal delivery and performances. We take a look back through the archives as some of the biggest names in popular music history have stopped by the 大象传媒 studios to dazzle us with their jaw-dropping brilliance.
From Mahalia Jackson's breathtaking gospel delivery to Ella Fitzgerald's rapid-fire scat; Tom Jones and Dusty Springfield's 60s big balladry to the soul divas of the 80s and beyond; alongside superb vocal eccentrics like Kate Bush and Bjork; and the staggering vocal range of Jeff Buckley, captured in his only 大象传媒 performance on The Late Show in 1994 - these performances all have the wow factor in common.
Featuring clips from various 大象传媒 programmes including How It is, Dusty, Top of the Pops, It's Lulu and Wogan, these are our showstoppers.
