Title: Ava Maria 2007 Post by: themaltesebippy on December 05, 2007, 04:29:24 pm This is a smooth jazz version of the classic song Ave Maria by Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge. I tried to make it look like a contemporary VH-1 style video.

I always loved the song Ave Maria, but have never heard it this way before. I loved your interpretation of it, and it's brilliant how you synchronised the lip movement. Keep up the good work!

A sim video...I think if you would have had the Mary statue from MTS2 on it, or a Sims Mary I probably would have dropped to my knees right with them. Beautiful, and beautifully sung. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Title: Ava Maria 2007 Post by: themaltesebippy on March 08, 2008, 01:20:31 am Hello and thanks so much. PegasusDiana, this was done after discussing it with Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge's management and I told them that it would look similar to a VH-1 style video. These guys have been recording and performing since the 1950's, so for them to trust me with their hard earned image meant the world to me.
I am very happy you liked it. I collect different "Ave Maria" versions and this one is my favorite by far. My friend Susaye Greene does a lovely job on this song as well, but I am not sure if it is available on CD anymore. PS If this voice sounds familiar to you...have you ever heard the 50's tune "16 Candles" ? This is the same singer. Johnny is one of the finest pop vocalists of all time.

Blow out the candles. Make your wish come true. For Ill be wishing that you love me, too. Your only 16....lol Am I giving away my age? I wasn't born till 62, but this is all my parents listened too. 50's music as I was growing up. Love that song! Your very welcome for the comment. I meant every word of it. Beautiful. All your videos are awesome. I think my favorite song when I was growing up was Season's in the Sun by Terry Jacks. I haven't heard that in years. "Honey" by Bobby Goldsborough...both still makes me cry. Unchained Melody. Pretender. So many fantastic songs from the 50's, 60's, and 70's... |
