Maureen McGovern's High Notes

Maureen McGovern's high notes galore!

"I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" (with the high F) was obviously lipped but I'm rather pleased that there's a clip of that performance.

Some notable high notes (correct me if I'm wrong about those notes):
1. F#6 in "Fascinating Rhythm" (1:44)
2. Several B♭5's and B5's in "Porgy, I's Yo' Woman Now", a duet with Jubilant Sykes (1:54 and 3:16)
3. A cadenza leading up to a B5, followed by an E♭6 in "Art Is Calling For Me" (3:56)
4. B♭5 in "Different Worlds" (4:49)
5. Several D6's in "Listen to the Mockingbird" (6:57 and 8:00)
6. Possible F♯6 or G♯6/A6 in "Pavane" (8:12 and 9:00)
7. G6 in "Listen to the Mockingbird" (8:54)
8. Possibly her highest note, B♭6 in "Scat Diva" at 9:36.
9. Mutiple F6's, F♯6's and G6's of piccolo imitation in "Stars and Stripes Forever" from "Strike Up The Band" (9:46)
10. Multiple F6's in "(If You Can't Sing It) You'll Have To Swing It (Mr Paganini)" (10:42)

I'm not sure about the notes she sang in the following songs though:
1. Tip Toe thru the Tulips with Me (0:23) - possible D6/E♭6 topping at A6
2. Rhapsody in Blue (0:42) - possible B♭5 & E♭6
3. What A Way To Go (2:57) - possible F6/F♯6
4. Oh Lawd, I'm On My Way (4:16) - possible B5
5. The Lady is a Tramp (4:38) - possible G6/G♯6
6. Flight of the Bumblebee (4:56) - possible C6's to E6's
7. Blues in the Night (5:14) - possible G5, B5 & C6
8. It's So Bad For Me (5:28) - possible B5's & C♯6's
9. I Can Cook Too (5:54) - possible G6
10. Smile, duet with Jerry Lewis (6:28) - possible F♯5's, G♯5's & B5's
11. I Got Rhythm (7:26) - possible C♯6's & E♭6's, peaking at F♯6/G6

What a fabulous performer. I doubt there is anything her voice can't do and her accuracy of pitch is truly astonishing.

Pretty impressive.
She is actually more gifted than I knew.

[gnidetalmonis]

I did not know that Maureen is a vocal beast!

[sidneypereiradelimadelima]

Não sabia que ela tinha tanto talento assim

[Cmc]

Beautiful voice. Very talented. Almost reminds me of like a pop version of Julie Andrews.

[leighburton]

She proved that she is more than a 1970s AM radio singer.

[SomeoneHasToSayIt]

Peerless. Seemingly effortless mastery.

[tatystar]

Zeiss, I saw your channel right now, you appreciate 2 same singers of me: Maureen and Celine. We have good musical likes 😍I appreciate Air Supply too, do you know them?

[tatystar]

So pretty, smiling on the end of the video...

Min: 10:58 (last song): what soooo discret dress skirt, is a fire in the park LOL CHAMA O

[thomasmulligan]

What about I'm Happy Just to Dance with You? Will that work? I think you left that out, did you?

[Alex-qmku]

Hey, what year is the "I Can Cook Too" performance from? :D

[tatystar]

These songs reminds me a music box with a ballet dancer, could exist one with them... Please, do you have her full performance of 'Born in the Heart' with the U.N children`s choir? I`d love to see, must be a nice moment, but unfortunately there`s only an audio of this song. If you have and upload, I`ll be thankfull.
