  • OH MY WHAT A FANTASTIC VOICE.

    MADE THE HAIRS ON THE BACK ON NECK STAND STRAIGHT UP.

    JUST FABULOUS.

  • Very good voice, but WAAAAAAY over sung.

  • Best remake I have heard besides Kenny Lattimores!!!

  • @williamzell And Donny Hathaway, please.

  • @ankuno -Donny hathaway wasn't a remake, he wrote the song. BUt i have heard many more try to sing this song, including myself. Its a hard song.

  • @williamzell Straight up your music facts. Al Kooper (Blood, Sweat and Tears) wrote it. That makes Donny's version a cover.

  • THIS WAS INCREDIBLE! There are few people who know how to deliver that kind of a song properly, but you did it justice! excellent work, Danny!

  • MAN,Danny....You're tearing it UP!I'd love to have you on our net radio shows!You can get at me at clayspoundsofsoundATgmailDOTco­m You can send tracks,epk's,bio,photos,and anything else!I also write music reviews for several online publications,and I'd love to open some of my readers ears up to your mastery!Get at me.Thank you,and God Bless-clay phillips

  • Young man while you sound just wonderful, I am ole school, and appreciate the vocals of Donny Hathaway, not to take anything from you, because you are gifted in your own right.

  • Ok, I'm a fan!

  • Good lord boy! I passed woke up and passed out again. This is not the first time either!!!

  • 2:36 BOY YOU DID DAT SHIT!

  • Brother,your voice and the band locked in SO good...I don't know if these are your normal cats,but if they're not,then that's DOUBLY IMPRESSIVE....Most singers can't pull it off in front of a "new" band,not like THAT anyway.You're doing it to death,and I'd love to have you on my net radio show,Clay's Pounds Of Sound...YOU ARE NOT JUST A TALENT,but a STAR!Peace,brother-clay phillips-clayspoundsofsoundATg­mailDOTcom

    Cheers and All Best,

  • Hey best of luck...you are on the road to true success and you've got the soul inside and out to make it through. Warm wishes to you and your family. Hey what the heck when can I buy your cd?

  • I love this guy. He took the Best of Donnys and put his own spin on it. That's keeping it reeal. (Sometimes too much spinnnnnn @ the end) Brothers got soooul though.

  • how come i havent of this guy before..my goodness!!!!!!!!! sang danny!

  • EXCELLENT..!

  • I love this...This is singing. Great stage manners.

  • man he has the fattest lips ever

  • WOW! *speechless*

    ~shanna

  • Danny!!! You can sing already. What are you trying to prove? Take 20 milligrams of valium and a couple of beers and do it again. Leave the vocal acrobatics to the silly little white girls.

  • TEARS OF JOY! I think I've died and gone 2 heaven or reached Nirvana or something. I am SOOH glad that there are men out there that can sing with so much soul. Maxwell is my permanant fix.I was checking out Donny H. and came across Danny I'm still getting my breath back! Just wonderfull, he's truly gifted.

  • amazing a lot of soul! the guy sounds a little bit like donny, only his voice is slightly more edgy

  • fierce!! I dare someone other than Donny to tackle this song with HALF as much grace as this man right here. Brilliant bro!

    Thank you , sincerely.

  • pfff, virtuoso performances...everybody's trying to show off how great they are

  • Fantastic performance!

  • The arranger and conductor's name is Tom Stein. He is a professor in the Professional Music Department at Berklee and played with Al Kooper on Bass for some years, including on his record "Black Coffee" from 2003.

  • amazing...love this

  • wHATS UP WITH THIS CONDUCTOR?i MEAN WOW.

  • You made it your own. You could have done the original

  • Very nice rendition of the classical hottness.. Great musicianship..

  • wow you are absolutely fantastic!!! 5*****

  • Truly Excellent!!! I need you to sing at my vow renewal!!!!

  • ********** 10 stars

  • Ohh, thats gotta be the hottest version of this classic yet!

    'Scuse me while I wipe the sweat off, cause that was just plain smokin'.

  • Left me speachless. Just amazing, vocals were just great, band was hot as well. So much soul, very special singer right there.

  • This performance is quite impressive. You have captured the essence of Donny Hathaway. Pure Soul.

  • Comment removed

  • It was alright but he was doing too much this is not a gospel song

  • Al Kooper would be proud!! Smokin!

  • Great job on this Donny classic. Heard too many try and fail to sing it

  • WOW! So good!

  • damn good. first time i really thought about the real meaning of the song: "more than you'll ever know."

  • Great singer, great band. amazing song.

  • Scary good vocals...really, REALLY like this song. I turned to a fan instantly.

  • what a voice! & Mellody:D

  • isflydd! deeply.....and without end.

  • Dude name is Daniel McClain.

  • goood voice beautyfull!!!!!

  • Okay, oops, I just realized the obvious answer to my question, lol.

  • Wow, he is killin it!! He sings with everything he's got in him, I LOVE it! Anybody know who he is? Does he have any more videos on youtube?

  • who is this????????????????!!!!!!!!!

  • Amazing soul!

  • Who the hell is this? He's good

  • WOW!!!

  • Excellent. Not too many sing with this kind of passion any more. Most modern singing is about precision and sounding like the latest fad without an ounce of soul. When I hear modern hip hop singers it seems they all sound the same. It's all about the producer.

  • I got chills!

  • Okay, he lit that up!!!

  • Oh my GOD.

    I am stunned.

    You are phenomenoal

    Y for a band?

    Anyway,,,wow,,'Barbara

  • lawdddddddd! boy I hear ya. This is just....wow!

  • DAYUM! I'm at work, can't have a sista in here sayin YEAH! out loud.. they might something wrong with me lol!

    this is FAB..........

  • you'd be well received and appreciated on broadway. you obviously have a nact for acting considering all the drama u brought to that stage. well done, bruh.

  • Daaamn brother....

    U Killin it!

    goose bumps up in here brother.

    COmpliments for the band! the detuned D or G bass string makes it spicy, i like it!

    Real soul!

    much luv,

    Nate.

  • Aye yall, I'm at "Awe" about the comments you all have left me. You're most appreciated! I apologize for not reaching back to all of you. But I ask that you please count it against my head and not my heart. 'Cause I've got nothin' but Luv for yall! Keep on the look out though. With Prayer and Hard Work I hope to change the game. But the main reason why it would happen is because of the support I get from yall. So, THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU THAT SUPPORT ME AND ARE GOING TO SUPPORT ME. 1 LUV!

  • YOU are amazing. I love listening to this! :D

    Thanks!

  • Super, duper!

  • wow !

  • Whew! I just exhaled...

  • Whew! He nailed it. That was special, powerful and soulful!

  • I left out a word, My question is why is he NOT making more music? We need more of this and less noise and foolishness.

  • Why is this young making more music? We are losing some of our best ballad singers like Lou Rawls, Luther,& Gerald Levert. This youg man can easily step in and fill a vacant spot. I wish him much success in a world that seems to favor hype over true talent.

  • DD forever baby.....forever. I love you more than you'll ever know! DD

  • DD SURPRISE - I KNOW IT ALREADY!

  • You betta sang boy!!! Wow what a great rendition of this song! All you need is a fine man to pull you to the dance floor and hold you tight. Thanks for posting this.

  • I could be the President of General Motors! (not "The King of everything")!!

  • This guy is just BRILLIANT! Saw him on Community Auditions, and am looking for a website of his! Just an amazing talent!!!!!

  • A brilliant Al Kooper song from the 1st Blood, Sweat & Tears LP c1967/8. As I've got that original vinyl LP and a Japanese CD issue of it I prefer the original to Donnie Hathaway's but this is just as good. A nice 5* cover version of the BS&T song here apparently done in 2004.

  • Beautifully sung - thank you

  • Berklee College of Music Alumni, you don't understand music, like a true musician, so respect the style and essence of a great singer and musician. One day in the next 20 years hopefully you will understand the craft of a soul singer. Know where a person came from and how they've grown in order to respect the gift of song. This negative feedback is only motivation for things to come. TRUST, YOU'LL BE BUYING HIS ALBUM IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS! MILLIONS WILL BE WATCHING HIM SOON, INCLUDING YOU!!!!

  • danny sky high is danny sky high and not a clone of hatteway or mc comb.so don't compare this man with them.he has his owne personality in his voice and remember he isnt 5o jears old , so normally he will grow a lot in the next years.kees

  • awesome this is a damned good tribute to the original...in respect ot BS&T...good performance..lots a soul and blues ..thnx

  • nice

  • well ceetee21,idon't think you understand dutch, as well you don't understand what a good singer this is .i will translate my letter.don't you have something better to do than burn this man down, i think you can't sing yourself ,otherwise you must hear he knows all aspects of singing ,got soul ,blues and a lot of feeling in his voice.so shut up and flesh yourself through the toilet .greatings kees

  • I'm not burning this man down.I said he could sing but thestandard set by Donny is almost impossible to match with the exception being Frank McComb.Your real brave with your ideal threats! Grow up...

  • heb je niks anders te doen dan zo'n goede zanger af te kraken , zelf kan je natuurlijk helemaal niks ,trek jezelf door de plee man .kees holland

  • 2words Frak McComb. Frank is the only person who can capture the true essence of Donny Hathaway on a musical and vocal level.The young man on the video has nice voice but he not anywhere near Donny Hathaway.

  • I'm not feeling the this arrangement at all!...

    His voice is alright but the delivery lacks direction.The band is not playing with any soul at all!... Go back and listen to Donny Hathaway singing this song live and then you'll understand how this is supposed tobe delivered both musically and vocally.

  • I get confused, isnt this a cover of a song. Why are people held to such precise expectations, when it is clearly obvious nobody will ever sing LIKE Donny. But I guess I understand your expectations since Donny set them so HIGH!!! Its just hard for the rest of us mere mortals to reach those heights ...lol peace

  • I respect your comments!...

  • There is very good. Perormances by B,S +T and Hathaway were very good. This man's performance is brilliant. Surpassing all standards...game...set...match­.

  • Yeah I think he did a great job, I was commenting on the comments that people are leaving. I dont compare anyone to Donny, I didnt think anyone else should either. no more no less. peace

  • Damn,man you sang that song

  • go Danny... go Danny! wow... amazing voice!

  • You sound absolutely beautiful. Good to see young black men appreciate real music that celebrates love.

  • Danny I missed this showcase. I was just listening to this song on my iPod & so I got on YouTube to see if I could find Donny singing it live and there you are. You the man. See you in a couple weeks.

  • wow! wowwow! wowwowwow! Probably I'm dreamin!

  • I wish my father was here to see this young man sing his lungs out...Oh what a voice...but most of all the determination to give praise to Donny the the Master

  • the best i ever heard , when do you come to holland .were waiting for you kees

  • oooooooh! i somehow ended up on this page and here you are! sounding as beautiful as ever.

    best,

    renessa

  • what an amazing amazing cover. that is not an easy song but you sang the hell out of that number. go ahead brotha man

  • Wow I never thought a live cover version can be better than the original by BS&T...

  • WHOA!!! I appreciate the support Amberghof. Thanks!

  • Yes and I really mean that. I like Blood sweat and tears, but you've made this song 'soul'...

    I hope to hear/see more from you!

  • that was awesome, dont listen to these guys....just do you brotha man. its gonna work out better that way...peace

  • great song :O :O

  • The band and the vocals were amazing! You almost made me have to get up and run a lap around my house!

  • LOL Thanks Rock!

  • Good Stuff!!!! I very rarely like male voices you did Donny justice

  • Hey thanks for the comment. IT TRUELY IS AN HONOR TO HEAR THAT (read this, but you know what I mean) You and everyone on this page are well appreciated. Giving me more enthusiasm for my hustle. Thanks again!!!

  • Skyhigh, you're the man! Sometimes i hear some Peabo Bryson in your voice (is that any way for a man to carry on. The way you embraced this song covered me with goosebumps. Definitely wanna see you on stage here in the Netherlands.

  • Beautiful song. There are so many versions here at youTube. This has to be one of the best. Thank you.

  • Straight up though, the pleasure is really mine for the responce you've given me. So, Thanks You!

  • awesome job... wit yo voice, i think i'd rather hear you doin some luther vandross tho

  • OOOOH, I really appreciate that comment HustleB. DEFINATELY AN HONOR. We'll see how the world respond to me when I'm done with the album. But thanks again!

  • Yeah he brought it with this performance. You can feel it!

  • You did this song justice man. I didn't think anyone could do this song as impressive as the late great Donny Hathaway, but you did and made it your own. Great job!
