  • oh I love it!

  • Leave it to Duffy to cover this amazing song

  • Love iit

  • Amazing :)

  • is that dress painted on?

  • Is she to record a new album?

  • Mmmmmmmm Heineken!

  • She's so dam cute.......so sexy..........and morally sophisticated.........love her music...jeanne

  • beautiful voice i <3 u DUFFY

  • A good version of Solomon Burke's classic.

  • Duffy = yummy.....and not only her looks either

  • duffy has such a wonderful voice, i reckon she could do a bob marley song!

  • @13katikins Right! THAT'S IT!^^^^

  • god i love her!

  • I guess she's a good singer, but ... solomon was better. At least by performing this song!

  • beautiful cover to a beautiful song. i'll bet i've listened to it 10,000 time myself. some of the comments i have read would make solomon ashamed. songs belong to every one. if you don't like the song don't listen. if you have nothing good to say, say nothing

  • great cover but I prefere the stones' version.

  • she is just amazing what a voice i could cry! never heart a kind of voice that touches my soul so much she has something from nina simone....and other jazzlegends, really this is music in my ears. i could spent my hole time to hear her voice what a great feeling.! She is very inspired person to me.

  • Not bad, but the Pretty Things' version is much better - and the original (Solomon Burke's ), of course, too.

  • It is such a shame to read such comments about this sort of thing. Come on, enjoy all genre of music put out by these singers, give them a chance! Using foul language on here, I,d hate to think what your iq and mentality hold for you. Duffy, like all the others who have sung Soloman's song, your version is cool. Perhaps people who comment as such may like to SING BETTER THAN THE ARTISTS, YEA!!!!! love the version.

  • so talented..great!

  • DUFFY takes me back to the movie with patrick swazey set in the 50's. And what's race got to do with it . The first one to pull the race card is usually the racist,white,black, red, green or yellow

  • She did a good job, but the original version is better ...

  • WOW. Duffy has some serious talent there.

  • Excelenteeee!!!! =)

  • This is a cool song,takes me riiiight back to dirty dancing and my mother-inlaw LOL!! A very sexy song and duffy has a brilliant voice..:D

  • This is a cool song takes me riiiiiight back to the movie dirty dancing and my mother-inlaw LOL!! :D This a great one of a kind voice..

  • no one can come close to the late great Solomon Burk but it shows her class that this talented lady should sing this great song, I would like to think in honour of S/B

  • There is a girl o remembers me Duffy... she has a very beatiful and powerfull voice.. check it out: Aurea - busy or it's ok it's allright.

    You will love her! =)

  • It's so cute how she wiggles her hips~

  • Amazing, such a classy lady. Saw her live once and oh my lord! It seems to be hard to keep your "goodies" hidden in today's music industry and still get success. It's wonderful to see how many people adore her, even though her ass is not hanging out. Go Aimée Ann Duffy!

  • love it,,,soul!!!

  • She has no color when I listen to her! music I heard is her talent!!!

  • u either have it or not, She's a natural!! look @ her move it has soul swag!!

  • wat a voice !!!!!!! awsome !!!!!

  • this is an awesome song tbhh xxx

  • This is awesome, lets all go back to the good old music, listen to how good and smooth this performance is. pure class.

  • lovely....about game players and the waste of time

  • lovely

  • I still love Solomon Burke's best but lord, this comes a close second. Love that Duffy has her own voice.

  • lovely one

  • I love the little bop at the start.

  • You know she has a great voice and I love this song she does it justice!!!

  • Shes AWESOME...I love her song Warwick Avenue.

  • This girl is so full of soul I LUV U DUFFY

  • Good lord girl you may be the size of Kylie Minogue but your voice is a zillion times better & I'm an Aussie. You go you Welsh lass!

  • Why can't people just close their eyes to color of skin and just enjoy the music?

  • @margaritanoir

    Beautifully expressed - and a bit of wisdom to be applied to every damned aspect of life, which is so short. When we rot, the worms eat our flesh without regard to race.

  • @margaritanoir i totally agree with you but regardless of who is covering it and taking into account that this is one of the better ones i've heard.....solomon burke is a vocal god and the original is as close to perfection as you'll get so i just with people would leave this one alone!

  • Why can't people just close their eyes to color of skin and just enjoy the music?

  • awesome voice

  • white soul! she is the Dusty Springfield of the new generation! awesome!!

  • I'm totally in love with her voice...CLASSIC FANTASTIC!!!

  • What does it matter what color you are ? if you can sing then you can sing. I love her take on this song.

  • i love this girls voice

  • She definatley has a different voice! Great singer with a 50's and 60's flare to her music. I hope she continues with this theme, there were many classic songs that came out of that era! Finally a woman who can actually do a live performance with ease. She does this song proud!

  • Nicely done!!

  • If people haven't heard Betty Harris' version (written by Bert Berns, produced by him in 1963) - you got to catch it on youtube.

    (Solomon Burke's original version produced by Bert Berns in 1962.)

    All power to Duffy - and the Rolling Stones in their day - for bringing songs to different audiences, but as someone else posted, how can Betty Harris have such relative obscurity when she's such a talent... get listening, Duffy fans, you've a treat ahead of you!

  • Singing has nothing to do with race. For example, you dont have to be black to sing with soul, i.e. Teena Marie, Duffy, Adele, Lisa Stansfield the list goes on and on, and you dont have to be white to rock out i.e. Hendrix (I don't even have to add more names to that list).

  • stunning, thx for sharing mate. Ta!!!

  • she does this cover well i love it!!

  • @Jackle61 "Those of you that think a blonde white girl can't sing soul have never heard of Dusty Springfield." And ADELE !!!

  • very good i like it

  • Those of you that think a blonde white girl can't sing soul have never heard of Dusty Springfield.

  • Duffy and Adele ... beats any American singer of this generation - And she always has the BEST musicians!

  • I love that she did this song! (she's way to classy to be compared to Amy Winehouse).

  • 199 people don't know the difference between Duffy and Amy Winehouse! xD

  • 198 people don't know the dfference between Duffy and Amy Winehouse..;)

  • I rly dont understand how u do it. Be so silent, with so perfect voice. The world should see u live. Wish u come to my country one day... perfect!

  • magnifique voix

  • She isnt that bad I like her version of *cry to me*

  • I absolutely adore Duffy. I loved this song before she did it but I love what she has done with it =]

  • I absolutely love what Duff does to this song. She has one of the sexiest voices i've heard in a while. I'm 53 so I grew listening to the orginals. I just love all of her music.

  • I lover her version, it only bothers me when she says "his perfume" because guys wear colone haha :)

  • One of the great musical finds of the past decade. A great singer, a wonderful version of a classic

  • The 90's weren't a good decade for music in my opinion, but fortunately the first decade of the 21st century has seen some good voices, especially feminin ones,

    Duffy is a good example. And we're recovering a singing style that emphasizes voice in a song.

    José (Lisbon, Portugal)

  • an excellent version from a very talented young lady

  • Duffy is awesome...singing with soul and heart...without a doubt a awesome singer.

  • this woman is absolutely awesome...feeling and soul to go along with it...2 thumbs up !!!

  • good choice

  • covers of songs pay recognition to the original you then go and listen to the original...or buy it like I do.

  • I was hesitant as well, but-I appreciate her spin on this great tune!

  • Great! I`m reasonably tired of people who says that you can`t do covers of this and that because it`s "other people`s songs". Horseshit! I quote B.B. King; - As long it`s out there, go ahead. If you are talented enough, you will shine through. Keep it up, miss Duffy!

  • I was kinda fearfull when I clicked on this.

    I was afraid yet another classic was gonna get raped by a modern-day artist. But man... This is GOOD!!!

  • So classy and unique. Gotta love Duffy. :)

  • Awesome song, she is amazing!!!

  • Love it!!

  • I like it..... But Burke was king ; )

  • @pattmelodyz Exactamente!

    She is Dolly Parton singing soul (i like both of them, but...)

  • stop posting crude comments you uneducated moron Mr Joe fwit

  • different but I like it

  • The new Nancy Sinatra...

    Greetings from Turkey

  • Kocham to i Duffy też ; ] I' am Love

  • its almost as if its sacred to say a new artist sings a song better than the original artist...like maybe if you admit to it you'll be struck by lightening lol...

  • So I think I finally found the category of music that feels like home. DUFFY. anyway, thats it... <3

  • i have listened to this video at least a hundred times. i didn't think anyone could do as good a job as Solomon Burke but Duffy has succeeded in spades. give credit where credit is due. the first time i heard it was in a place i could only hear the music and it was who is that? i thought no one under the age of 50 could sing like that, so i stand corrected. there is hope yet for music

  • yes sireee...give credit where credit is due...she has alot of soul...it is her own style and she is great at it...two thumbs up Duffy.

  • love love love it

  • I love the way Duffy sings, there´s soooo much feeling in their voice - very soulful!!!!

  • ♥ Love it...

  • IS SHE AWESOME , IS'N SHE.

  • she sings with her nose!!!!but not bad!!!

  • not bad but not as good as solomon - who cares if she is white green purple or black

    nice effort worth a listen

  • please thats soul in her voice shes into her music

    

  • I'm so pissed off at what that guy put up there. I'm black and just because someone has a soulful voice doesnt mean they're tryin to be black. I'm sorry but singing this good is just something that can't be faked or forced.

  • @duvalgrad2008 I agree completely.

  • @duvalgrad2008 well said :)

  • @duvalgrad2008

    i love soulful music like otis redding, al green's version of change is gonna come, bessie smith after you've gone, janis joplin, etc etc... i must say the first time i heard duffy i thought she was amazing Warwick Avenue.. i heard it on a plane coming home to AR from CA.

  • @duvalgrad2008  wow fab comment , well said

  • Outstandingly soulful !!!

  • She's good but I prefer the orginal version with Solomon Burke

  • @BonnieBlu8

    I prefer the version by the stones

  • @BonnieBlu8 i've heard all versions, solomon burke , stones and duffy. i like them all. they all have their appeal what i like about this one is it's done so well by someone so young. i'm 64 and i heard the original by burke and thought no one but this guy can sing this song, i stand corrected both the stones and duffy do a great job

  • @denisjl100

    You definitely have NOT heard them all *smile

    There is one version on my channel, that I bet you haven't heard before

  • @CarpeVitam1 sorry i didn't mean i had heard all versions, i meant that i had heard one by the stones, duffy and solomon burke. i wouldn't mind hearing your version, where is it?

  • @CarpeVitam1 tell me how to get to this other version and i will listen. i didn't mean that i have heard all version i meant that i had heard all three versions (stones, duffy and solomon burke)

  • she nails it. Love ya Aimée. You're excellent to see and hear

  • I like this. Yes nothing like the original by the great Solomon Burke, but I like this.

  • True music lovers love ANY kind of good music, whether black or white singers do it.She has a great talent, and can cover a song with passion. Thx for publishing..Glenda-Marie,,,,a Roy Orbison fan xxx

  • Well actually she was told by some producers she couldnt sing......SHE MADE THEM FEEL LIKE IDIOTS, I BET??? She has a very unique voice.....We have one of those singers in NZ her name is Gin.( shes in a video with "smashproof" ) Good onya DUFFY!!!!!

  • A very good singer, beautiful voice, a magnificient song.

  • I love her voice so much

  • She's so unique and so breathtakingly fabulous. It make sme smile and move and groove all at the same time.

  • A beautiful remake to a Solomon Burke classic.

  • Totally mesmerizing! I want a lot of this, whatever it is. More!

  • She has a lovely voice and so sexy! The Welsh water is so fresh and that why the women are so beautiful!

  • I LOVE DUFFY! Going to get the CD tomorrow

  • Amazing voice.

  • Dirty Dancing

    Baby: "dance with me..."

    Johnny: "here??"

    Baby: "here..." FANTASTIC MOVIE :)

  • white girl with a black girls voice 

  • awesome.

  • God Bless Great Britain

    Why the hell did we ever leave?

  • such a great new blues talent

  • yep, go away and listen to your crap where they don't have to have any talent to try to 'sing'

  • she sounds gr8!!!......the best iden heard

  • @catcha2007 got to be the best duffy so far love it and live

  • live live live this is it

    live and good!!

  • it's different...

  • I love an artist who can sing the old songs and bring on the fresh new ones....That is what I would do if I was her.....I can relate.

    So many people don't even know some of the old great songs.....they think they are "new" hahahahahah

    Go for it Duffy, and sing what you want.....I didn't know you had to be black to sing...

    I am so tired of hearing about racial things on a site like You Tube.. Take it somewhere else. That should be a law.

  • @LisaJMoore I agree! Music has no color and doesn't see color. And I do love the fact that she sings older songs. Such a talent and great soul.

  • I love Duffy. Who the hell is Duffy?

  • thanks for putting this up!!!

  • I love her!! she has an absolutly AMAZING voice! no words for that!! one of the best songs ever!! can't stop to press replay!

    P.S.: if someone like music, please have a look at my videos and comment / subscribe!! =) thanks!

  • Original is original ; )

    Solomon is king !

  • She is so damn freakin hot!

  • pretty hot

  • Love me some Duffy!!!

  • The fact that she can sound good performing live just proves she has an amazing voice! alot of the singers now days sound good recorded but when it comes to live performace's they suck.

  • The lady can sing. I've been listening to singers for 55 of my 63 years. Not quite "Jewel" but way better than Jus Stone can hope to be.

  • she is not any amy whinehouse clone. she just came out later. her voice is completely different and her approach is different. gosh guys pay attention! and you dnt have to be black to sing with soul! this is coming from a black person fyi. respect the girl for her dedication to her craft

  • @fashiongrl2010

    You nailed that one- she has her own thing, and i am happy to listen!

  • @fashiongrl2010 I agree. You don't have to be black to sing soul. When you feel it, you know. And you have to let you soul talk to the world. That speaks to all races and creeds. That's what soul music is all about. This is coming from a black person also.

  • shes an north wales girl..and oh boy does she sings great no need for racism crap joe..loving ya style duffy ..keep it comming girl..hail to welsh singers ie..tom jones and catonia..steriophonics and now duffy go girl gooo!! xx

  • Dave Swift on Bass with Jools Holland backing Solomon Burke "Cry To Me"

  • Love this...Shes a sweety!

  • Very nice cover :) I've only heard 2 or 3 songs from Duffy so far, but I already think the girl has major passion for the music. Major props

  • YYyyeyeeaaahhhh....this is my jam!!!

  • Yeah...Not bad at all...The beat is great!

  • Not bad at all.

  • She clearly has respect for the people who came before her and is one of the few who can pull it off.

  • dirty dancing love secne muzic!!!

  • stop pretending you're black!

  • @MrJoePass89

    Stop pretending you are not a c*nt

  • @catcha2007 what is c*nt???

  • @MrJoePass89

    stop pretending you have something interesting to say

  • @MrJoePass89

    Hey Dick stop pretending you're cool ...go jump in the lake ...what have U ever done.....s***head

  • @MrJoePass89 Stop being racist!

  • @MrJoePass89

    I think you have no Idea what a cover is...

    It's not pretending to be someone else, it's a own interpretation of a song.

    And btw this is awesome, black or not black :)

  • @MrJoePass89 LOL how is she pretending shes black??, shes just got soul!

  • @DeathTrooper1984 I agree. These folk who think that a great artist is 'pretending' to be black should try to 'pretend' themselves - who knows - they might find out that they are really good too...or NOT! lol

  • @MrJoePass89 who said music has a color? you racist punk.

  • @MrJoePass89 your just a str8 hater i give big thumbs upto her for a white girl... im a white girl and i cant sing like that but i wish i could.. shes got some talent so stop h8ting...

  • @MrJoePass89 i think thats her style...not bout colour
