[dannytj2]

Lol @ 4:20 - about 4:30 The girl in the Dungeries or how every you spell it, Does Michael Remind you of Captain Jack Sparrow? Of Pirate of the Caribbean?

[ChloeDust]

[Binouzours]

[TheBeatlesCom]

@shazriq1998 Ur joking right?

[shazriq1998]

@TheBeatlesCom i was joking no hard feeling ok??

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@shazriq1998

Of course he's blind. Not blind immediately from birth... he was blind only because, as history puts it, he was in an incubator and was apparently given too high a level of oxygen.

[shazriq1998]

@ClassicTVMan1981X ok but don't be mad im just a 13 years old kid that knew stevie wonder songs at the radio

[Wildcock23]

Strange.... lacks that coked-up feel of the original version, but this isn't bad

[mickyello]

[solesirching73]

Michael was once a member of Stevie Wonder's band Wonderlove from 1973-1979. From "Songs in the Key of Life," he and Stevie co-wrote "Saturn." Not to mention he played a mean guitar solo on "Contusion" and 2nd part of "Ordinary Pain."

[BigBlecK22]

[StarCatcher23]

THE BASS PLAYER!!! HAHAHAHA

[TartarMarthas]

@StarCatcher23 This bass player is Nathan Watts, he's really one of the best... He's the bass player for Stevie Wonder for ages and he also played Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, the Pointer Sisters, Jeffrey Osborne, and many more. In 2010 he won the International Bassist Award.

[StarCatcher23]

@TartarMarthas Wow damn; thank you very much for the information.

PS: he still does look funny :)

[TartarMarthas]

@StarCatcher23 Yeah, he's quite a caracter! :-)

[StarCatcher23]

@TartarMarthas Yeah :)

[Groovy26407]

@TartarMarthas and the guy on the drums,could it be?VINNIE:D

@Groovy26407 Yes, it's him. Amazing huh?

[Groovy26407]

@TartarMarthas that guy can play everything n be amazing on in,amazing technique,n power,hes a beast;D,respect:)

[shjtyu]

Thia was when artists had to have real talent to make it.

[jasstudios1]

I agree with greenemerald1. The only reason he hasn't made any different songs is cuz thers a whole lotta crazy shit that most people don't wanna hear. Does anyone like tha song fireflies? cuz this is just my opinion but that is the worst song ive ever heard in my entire life.

[baronessenata]

beautiful

[marciafernandes55]

Mas que Nada is a song by Jorge Ben, made in 1963. This chorus was originally composed by him.

[Neni003]

Thanks for the upload... an absolute gem!!

Wow.... I love this version... more so than the original!!

[Neni003]

[Directora250893]

I love michael Sembello....he has beautiful eyes..and I love hes music...

[satan469]

80's rule..... no doubt about it....

[IMB2U]

i still prefer the 90's.... those were the "normal" times no?

[ALFILTITO]

@satan469 , IS A BAD NAME

[VikingThor1]

the guy can definately sing

[chudymis1]

POLAND- Naprawde kawał dobrej muzyki.

[meadowvideos]

Damn, this was awesome! Nice upload.

[Felippao1970]

And the Great Brazilian Paulinho da Costa on percussion!

[BlameyourBrother]

omfg.. i saw a dude shaking that ass o_O

I thought the song said.. SHE'S a maniac (:

[stash702]

This is awesome!!! What year did this performance take place?

[alexn882]

Stevie Wonder, Michael Sembello, Nathan Watts... nothing more to say.

[MazterGuitarz]

True, two genoiuses at clash...

Well, was'nt it better b4?...

Ok depends of the origin..

[Memyai]

Hey, you know your peeps, huh? Well done!

[alexn882]

Yep... if these people aren't some of the greatest of the last few decades then what is music?

[kigawman]

damn! How come Vinnie Colaiuta gets the best gigs the house!?

He performs with Sting, Chick Korea, an album stint with Megadeth and here, Michael Sembello.

Is there anybody just as the same as he is?

[idiotflesh]

Dude, how could you not mention that Vinnie Colaiuta also played with Frank Zappa? That blows anyone else you've mentioned away.

[MrAletube]

@kigawman

he can play it all,like many others,but,he has the sensibility of soul,interpretation is the key.

plus the learning speed,he can play everything at the first take correctly.

[verydrunks]

Cada vez que vejo esse cara tocando, vejo no olhar dele, o gosto e a dedicação pela música...

é isso que faz uma pessoa um músico

ainda mais sabendo que ele se inspirou em Jorge Ben...que com certeza é um dos maiores músicos, se não o melhor, da música popular brasileira!!!!

[verydrunks]

Essa versão ficou demais, isso demonstra o quão grande músico ele é, digo por que sou músico e adaptar uma musica para o free jazz, funk ,soul..... é dificil

[polanco64]

Muy bonita esa version de maniac, michael es talentoso.

[verydrunks]

grande músico,muito bom os anos 80', sinto falta, de Michael jackson, Michael sembello, isso é música, Sembello nos ensinou a cantar, e jackson de sua dança perfeita

[AtraniS88]

He's a great musician. One of the best in the world.

[worldsworstjukebox]

Captain Jack Sparrow wrote "Maniac"?

[AtraniS88]

hauahauhauahauhauahhau

[fishistheice]

His voice is flawless

[xtedx1]

very nice version.. really amazing what great musicians can do!

[lastwolflord]

Guess I can dig this version. But nothing beats the original. Weird how guys like this can have a great song/album and really do nothing else afterward(thats a hit/main stream). It's like they get blessed with one immortal shinning moment. And this song will and has been remembered years later. And I am sure years to come.

[cejono]

You´re not into music I guess... Mr Sembello is legendary musician, singer and songwriter. Listen to Songs in the key of life for a start! He is NOT a onehitwonder I can asure you. I hope that you will find something new here. Check out "As we speak" with David Sanborn, Marcus Miller, Omar Hakim... Great album with great contributions from Michael! Good luck!

[alexjoe1978]

This is superb!

[KingsAvenue]

wow jazzy maniac

[jeffdragonst]

awesome !

[kemalozanyuceer]

perfect : )

[osixstl]

very inspiring...

[mjnmjd]

Two greats!! Great version of this song!!

[greenemerald1]

He's probably creating great tunes and we never get to hear 'em due to all the nonsense corporate crap filling up the charts today.

[FioccoDJat14]

@greenemerald1 A-MEN

[SandBox86]

@greenemerald1 same thing happened when he went to the star road.. another artirts and styles were shut down to bring new ones into business..

[AtraniS88]

Yeah! Great!

Where is Michael now???

[4KEP6]

is dead

[greenemerald1]

Awesome, Michael Sembello is wicked...
