Toshi Reagon 'Smokestack Lightning'

[TheDutchGame]

If I could play like that I'd never stop playing!

[mnpd007]

That's a girl?

[RcUniverseGuy]

wait thats a woman? ..... FAIL

[shaxincat]

@RcUniverseGuy

yes, a woman with twice the talent in her little finger than you'll ever hope to have in your life.

[lesbianmusic]

Lordy...I hear you and feel you even more!!!

[nicolasrivera]

WOW that dud has a girls voice!

[calmhie]

Holy fuuuuuuck. What a singer!

[MsTubbytube]

My computer started smokin' when I played this vid...wow what a singer.

[lovelysnowangels]

This is the first time I heard Toshi sing and I am definitely a fan! She did and excellent job with the song.

[PygmyPhallus]

Why does that fat dude sound like a girl?

[NJMoviemaker]

@PygmyPhallus DAMN ASSHOLE. FIRST OF ALL MAYBE BECAUSE SHE IS A GIRL!! WHY DO YOU EVEN HAVE TO BE RUDE DUMBASS??

[ricchardo]

@NJMoviemaker You're totally right, those kind of curves could only possibly belong to the female of the species, Right? Pygmy isn't being rude, he's being honest. I thought exactly the same thing as he did when I first heard "her" sing.

[NJMoviemaker]

@ricchardo If you think that wasn't rude, well, what is the meaning of rude to you? anyways, go on with your life and if you are here to criticize people instead of enjoying the performance and the music, I don't see what your doing here then. Just saying!! PEACE OUT!

[ricchardo]

@NJMoviemaker I wasn't awere I had criticized anybody or anybodys performance I merely said that the singer in question looks to me, to Pygmy and I dare say to you yourself LIKE A MAN. I realise it may not be politically correct to say that but if nothing else.....IT'S A HONEST OPINION. :-) 

[NJMoviemaker]

@ricchardo Why don't you just keep your opinion to yourself, cause seriously it doesn't even make sense!!! Btw: I meant it in general ''criticizing people'' Btw: AWARE IS written like that!! Just telling you my opinion too!! Oh, and honey No, I'm a woman, but how can you know? you didn't even see me and you are already giving me an opinion that isn't even right!!

[ricchardo]

@NJMoviemaker I'm afraid you've mis-read my previous message. If you take a deep calming breathe and read it again, you will see that I wasn't calling you a man AT ALL!! I said (as I've said all along) that the fact this singer (Toshi Reagon) is FEMALE came as a shock to me and my fellow You-Tubers so are you seriously suggesting that we are ALL wrong in our "Opinions"? May I remind you that the very definition of a opinion is:- That which has no definate answer. Now tell me again I'm wrong;-)

[islandfocus2]

Where can I get this version of this song??

[islandfocus2]

Love this version of Smokestack Lighning. Best one I've heard so far!!!

[MrJohnnyOne]

[crabywaters]

Are you people complete idiots?.. Toshi is a woman.

[HonRevPTB]

Wow! Didn't expect that voice comin from that! Thought it was a big black guy about belt it out all low! Nice voice!!! Very mellow!

[ynot323]

This is one androgynous individual

[gangagod01]

Your abnormally squeaky voice made it strangely cool

[phantom5691]

this fat guy is pretty good. whats that thing on the back of his neck at the beginning of the video when he is facing the drummer?

[deaconlightning]

GREAT PERFORMER!!!

[TheJudyai]

Just ignore the Negative people here, You got Soul brother and you gotta let it all hang out! Your voice sounds amazing! They tried to run down Brian Wilson, Jackie Wilson, Alan Wilson, Michael Jackson and a whole lotta Genuises for singin up with the angels. You Gotta Gift - so let it Lift! Never let the lower self (selves) bring you down. You got it goin on brother! Yeah!

[rcapers]

Oh yeah...

[karlof90]

Este man le metio salsa (ganas) a esta version.

[Feathertops]

the riff sounds more like born under a bad sign than smoke stack, with that rhythm and all.

[simpleman6942]

[joedivision1992]

[giadacillo]

[kimnjer6873]

i was bound up for 3 days but listening to this horrible remake took care of that howlin wolf ought to haunt there ass for this

[FloatingGrin]

@kimnjer6873 spoken by somebody whose only YouTube subscription is the karaoke channel. Karaoke is binding...originality sets you free

[kimnjer6873]

well..I would expect that comment from someone that likes david cook..get a life dipshit...David cook sucks ass and you are binding too just like cheese maybe some exlax with set you free

[sanne0505]

This is a very bad cover..

[2009framat]

I like it - looks like the daughter of Ma Thornton (but I guess she no daughter)*****

[MsTubbytube]

@2009framat I believe she is the daughter of Bernice Reagon of Sweet Honey in the Rock. Does look a little like Chaz Bono in a different skin, to me.

[soul23ful]

love the howlin wolf. this girl did this song justice in her own way. like it.

[bluesman7475]

where is the bass voice?? not howling wolf by a long way!

[LittleIronDove]

No,...she's NOT Howlin' Wolf! She's Toshi and she made this song her own. I heard her!

[shonuffshowstopper]

@LittleIronDove Howlin Wolf did it originaly look it up. The song is darn near over 40 years old.

[Conale145]

is SHE or HE ??????

[ozzy85d]

Same thing I was thinking..

Im guessing she? not really sure though

[LittleIronDove]

this is such a groove ... one of the best coversof this tune I've heard to date!! Go ON, Toshi!!!!! DO it, girl!!!!

[terrafirma666]

SHE is a cool drop dead sexy dyke and if you can't figure that out ...well.. go back to the woods where yer belong.

[marczel99]

Awsome remix! Though for a moment I thought that chick was a 300lbs prepubescent teenage boy, with that high voice.

[Danu333]

she's amazing!!!!

[chitown38]

Great video...

[Sojatruth]

Is this a female?

[hardkunt]

Yeah i think sooo lol

[LedZeplican]

simply fuckin amazing!

[hardkunt]

Ain't that the truth hahaaaaa

Truly bliss

[thezenrunner]

Toshi kicks it to the heavens and beyond. Truly inspirational.

[KENDRA8711]

GO TOSHI YOU ROCK IT

[thailow117]

there's a reason the bass player is smiling throughout...

this is brilliant

[adrelaxed108]

Just Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lickmynose]

I love how she sings from her gut like that. What an amazing musician.

[katiekatt01]

This rocks! Thanks for the great uploads.

[mindrunfree]

Is it just me, or do we only get about 5 seconds of Toshi and then the video suddenly ends? I'm all ready for some Toshi and no Toshi :{

[righteousbaberecs]

You must be having technical difficulties, the whole video is Toshi and her band, with Toshi front and center

[mindrunfree]

Thanks ;) it's working now. Thanks for uploading the video.

[morleymusic1]

Toshi! you ROCK!!!!!!
