Ted Hawkins - Bring it on home to me

[Mr1robone]

In what Ted Hauwkins's album it finds this version please ? (sorry for my english)

[StollyDolly]

Love this version ... discovered Ted many years ago - thanks so much for sharing xxx

[Kekik79]

Great singing, though the guitarplay could've been improved, and I'm missing the chord E where you phrase the "bring it on home".

[Kekik79]

@Kekik79 Actually, I didn't know that this guy was a reknowned guy. But still can't understand why he gets recognition for this song. As it brings needles to my eardrums that he left out the E chord as I mentioned before. Plus, that he only strums downwards (which in my book, only people who can't actually play guitar do / OR when you're playing fastpaced music like rock) until about 2:53.

[marcusdolby1]

@Kekik79 He played an open tunning because he wasnt much of a player. You can bar simple 1 4 5 progresions and such but your limited to what you can play unless your like Micheal Hedges.

[Bondanalloy]

Can't find this song anywhere for download/purchase :S

[pillpoppinfoo]

[randomguyxx1]

@majorsnag I like it!

[williewatt]

I discovered Ted via Andy Kershaw's majestic compilation "More Great Moments in Vinyl History".

His performance of "Cold and Bitter Tears" shook me to my core.

I realised that I had just discovered a truly awesome unique talent.

I have just ordered 3 of Ted's albums via Amazon, I can't wait.

Spread the word!

Tell all your friends about this amazing talent.

You can't go far wrong by sending them this YouTube link of Ted covering "Bring it on Home to Me".

[ThePeadoPolice]

Wow what a voice..

R.I.P. Ted, your legacy lives on...

Respect!!!

[juichiban]

Ted Hawkins, a most overlooked soulful singer and musician of his time. I began listening to black music(ians) in the early 50's when it was not cool for a white kid to do so. I put Ted Hawkins in the top 10 of the best. I would have loved to have sat under a shade tree with Ted and sipped on a scotch and smoked a cigar, and stared off at the setting sun while Ted sang "Long As I Can See the Light." RIP, Ted. I am sure that God has you singing for him.

[hairsculptor1]

Wow.

[SuperSharon47]

The best blues artist to have blessed this earth!!

[military911search]

Boom, Boom good rhythm and blues, inspirational good soul music.

[military911search]

Incredible rhythm and blues song, and I have to write one to match this one.

[TheIndependentWriter]

Bring it on home ....

Love is the only answer.

[razndebby]

always loved this mans voice since i met him here in the uk,was sad to hear that he passed away and may he rest in peace he will be sadly missed

[razndebby]

ive love the sound of ted for years since i meet him in the uk and i was sad to hear that he passed away may he rest in paece always

[gabriel9036]

[98rk]

What A Great Singer, Never Heard Him Before ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

[Sprtschk]

Actually my favorite version. Can't help crying during the intro.

[jeadov]

Love it!! His voice is so nice!!

[thecla1961]

I love all his songs, best one for me is youve changed, havent seen it on you tube yet.....

[naganokumas]

Cherishable moments.

Ted Hawkins singing Sam Cooke.

Thankyou.

By the way, why is "Sam Cooke - The man and his music." no longer available?

[beckerleyanna]

oh, oh, bring it to me

Bring your sweet lovin,

Bring it on home to me

''oh yeaaaaah'' x x x x

[TheIanmulcahy]

IF you did see the man play live he did read the music and dusted his hand with salt. He is good.

[charlzy182]

teddy's great but sam cooke does a better version and ya cant improve on perfect

[LaSolarGuitar]

So much feeling and soul in his voice....RIP Ted Hawkins. This is REAL music...it can never die.

[florisena]

so sweet song and grate video!!!

 i hear this all the time!!! all of your videos are the best!!

[dubber55]

Major... so beautifully put together. One of my very favs. I spent many Sunday afternoons down on the Venice Boardwalk listening to Ted and was always moved by his life stories and his incredible voice. People would bring him things to eat and licorice tea for his throat as it became more hoarse as the day went on. I have collected his music and never tire of listening to it. I miss him... RIP

[thecinnamons09]

I love Ted Hawkins. My mate got me into them before he passed away last year this song has every hair on my body standing up on end. Good job majorsnag, good job.x

[stephen53847]

does anyone know where I can obtain the poster on 1.55

Yes, Ted Hawkins is proof of the gems that exist, if only we look (he was discovered singing on a street in some city by a record producer. After he cut the 1st album he then hit the road again, and disappeared for some time) I bet his simple life is (was?) filled with great experiences.

[jeadov]

I like it too. That voice is great!

[Imacynicalfucker]

I Like It!

[majorsnag]

have you heard the album watch you step

[dugitomi]

Yes, it's one of my favorites, as is the next hundred years. Ted Hawkins was a genuine artist who gave us such pure beauty that one wonders if perhaps there might be a higher power from which the human spirit gets its energy to overcome even the longest odds imaginable. Mr. Hawkins, may he rest in eternal peace and happiness, knew hardship. He got some fame before his time was up, but that probably didn't matter to him. He just wanted to share his love through music. And he does. Thanks Major.

[bulbheadmyass]

Ted Hawkins is a fantastic singer, and what a great version he does of this great song. I never heard of him before, but thanks to YT, I have now and I love him. 5-star video.

[soutltank]

amazing voice

[rentiboyy]

thats realy good stuff

[steve51704000]

"There Stands the Glass" is my favorite.

[will4fang]

Ted Hawkins has a version of that?

[seldenkid]

This is the best cover of Sam Cookes record it's been covered a zillion times

[makenziearrone]

anyone tell me where i can get the song happy hour by the man ted hawkins himself

[Dragonking3787]

ted hawkins is my grandfather, sorry to tell this to some people but he died new years day 1995(so he only lived a few seconds in 1995) ive only met him when i was a baby, he held me. i bet most of you guys wont belive me...but im not a guy to just tell fibs like that....especially publicallly. my father is ted hawkins the third and he is working on an album that will blow your mind! his music is on keyboard not on guitar though he likes to see all of you guys commenting nicely about him

BYE!

[majorsnag]

cheers, glad you enjoy it mate

[RacerX93]

Your grandfather had an amazing voice. I'll be sure to check out your father's music.

[AndrewwwJackson]

If what you're saying is true, I can tell you for sure your grand daddy was a really cool down to earth yet spiritual man. You knew it when you heard it as I did many times in the 90s. He was a really nice guy too which made you like him that much more.

[zosete]

Your grandad still makes me happy. He's the only performer I know that can pull off a Sam Cooke's cover in a way that you don't miss the original.

I love one live album at a coffee when he says: "I'm greedy! I wanna be love by everybody!!"

[daysailer1]

So right about Taking off sam cooke. God i love utube for allowing us all to connect over music we love!.

[johngiuffrida]

@Dragonking3787

I was fortunate enough to see your grandfather once at The Bottom Line in Greenwich Village, NYC before he passed. I'll never forget. He is a true musical legend...his simple open-tuning guitar strumming, poignant voice that rivals Sam Cooke, humble stage presence, and life-experience making him incapable of being copied. There will always only be one Ted Hawkins.

Where/when can we find your dad's music?

[razndebby]

@Dragonking3787 hi met your grandfarther ere in the uk years ago good man loved his voice was sorry to hear that he passed away but he will live on in his music

[paulhg53]

@Dragonking3787 Lucky guy you are,there are only a few guys that strum a guitar and sing that give me goose bumps,Mississippi john Hurt,Blind Blake,Ted Hawkins.I played the Ted Hawkins video last night to show my brother.He was great Ted was.

[lanagandy]

@Dragonking3787 what a sweet memory, thanks for sharing

[paulhg53]

@Dragonking3787 I belive you, why dont people realize greatness till after the artist is gone. ted said Sam cook gave him goose bumps,well Ted gives me goose bumps. wish he had more time to make music, sad so sad

[dolphin693]

@Dragonking3787 i loved his performances in scotland many years ago, had the pleasure of meeting him too,we all still play his music today! a true inspiration and a gentle giant xx you should be so proud xx

[tdfd023]

Also, listen to 'Biloxi' off the album 'The Next Hundred Years'. And listen to it on a decent stereo late at night. Wow.

[naganokumas]

Dear Ted,

Thankyou.

Unfortunately you were noticed and appreciated too late in your life.

RIP.

P.S. There stands a glass, just for you.

[seldenkid]

Good job on one of Sam Cooke's greatest works. This guy can sing

[tdfd023]

Listen to Ted's version of 'Long as I Can See the Light' off the album 'The Next Hundred Years'. Damn.......

[budelke]

Yep, sounds very good , gives me a quite feeling, just as good as the original by John Fogerty.

[xz4q18]

The best song is 'Cold and Bitter tears', Find it and listen to it if you've ever gone through a divorce and I defy you not to cry.

[h8liver]

*****Wonderful! Thank you.

[h8liver]

In 1971 I lived just 1 block from Normandie a few streets down from Exposition.

[elwalsho]

great sam cooke cover.ted is fantastic also.

[BoroGirlie]

One of my fave Ted Hawkins #'s :O)

[GordonJNapier]

I'm blown away by this, can't hear it enough. Lived a life. Very sad he's dead. Beautiful.

[sexytiiime89]

what a song love it ted hawkins is a legend and should we should remember him for all of time

[maninwhitedress]

Ya got to love that sweet lovin.

[peterkandi]

I saw Ted Live at the Hurricane in Kansas City maybe 15 years ago. Truly Fucking amazing. He signed autographs after the show and he signed a book I had called the '100 greatest albums of all time' some critic wrote 'Songs From Venice Beach' was like number 30. Anyway some people wanted him to write long dedications in the autograph they got. It became apparent Ted couldn't write much but his name. He was so gracious though and loved the adulation. Honestly, what an amazing singer.

[majorsnag]

glad ya like it mate

[Del2543]

[tony9L9L]

Whatever the truth is about Ted, I saw him live and he was brilliant and I love his version of this classic a lot.
