  • Seriously Incredible, not my normal of musical intrest. Thank you for broading my horizons :)

  • missing a bit of crunch and punch. didnt hit me a a lot ;/

  • @DubsMood It gets a little repetitive. Still better than 90% of popular music.

  • he spits between 31 and 32 sec

  • Apparently he's going downtown tonight

  • I have been following him for a few years now, I like all the new material he makes but wouldnt mind hearing a couple covers like Lean On Me

  • Wait, I didn't quite catch that. Where is he going?

  • im here because of the commercial 'HAHAHAHAH Aloe Blacc is great though

  • This my Jam !

    Nice taste! Again!

  • What's Tanqueray?

  • @supermassivedwarf hah you for real what are you like 8

  • @l7l7l I assume it's an American thing by your response? Thankfully your sullied culture of associating personally with brand names doesn't extend as far as some of you would like to think. And no, I'm not 8.

  • @supermassivedwarf no im not an american im from canada. and tanqueray is gin sorry you probly dont even know what gin is... tanqueray is an alcohol beverage that adults drink you fucking loser

  • @l7l7l A gin expert I see. Do you happen to be a divorced, middle-aged woman by any chance? Ha, I kid, I kid. I'm well aware of what gin is just not that brand. If my original question hurt your feelings I apologise and hope that you don't end up hitting the bottle too hard over it.

  • @supermassivedwarf

    This guy's on the money.

  • lmfao at the top comments

  • just an awesome song wish i could sing like that :)

  • Can you say one-hit wonder? Good tune though.

  • @thecf22 the song I Need a Dollar has 16 mil hits? not a one hit wonder, good musician when this current era is suckin balls

  • The voice...meh, but the song is catchy.

  • @themazeful shut up

  • just move downtown dude, it would be easier

  • Good voice, but Teddy Afro has the worlds best voice, on the planet.

  • i LOVE yall's sound. i'm a one man band with an 8 track and i write ALL my own material, play all the instruments separately myself. search for "scott allen band" on you tube. thanx everybody.

  • This song just set me in the mood to go downtown tonight :)

  • Thumbs up if this song makes you feel good

  • thumbs up way up great stuff awesome mnoww

  • at i need a dollar i thought its an old hit from bill withers same voice at aint no sunshine

  • Thumbs up if you didn't go to this because of the Tanqueray commercial.

  • @vdublovexo i nearly got sucked into that shit

  • i need a dollar to go downtown...

  • He is freaking amazing. His voice sounds a bit like Otis Redding's me thinks...would love to hear an Aloe version of Sitting on the dock of the bay.

  • @letmejustsay yeah..although also a little bit more like Bill Withers..

  • Tonight im going Downtown

  • He has to be related to Bill Withers...

    

  • @chillindog222 he kind of does sound like him doesn't he lol

  • It doesn't get much smoother than this

  • Aloe Blacc + Tangueray... what more a person can ask for?

  • When Aloe Blacc walks into a room, the temperature immediately gets cooler

  • Best choice for a beer song EVER!

  • @senz20 tanqueray is gin i think

  • @littlewhitt720 Yeah, I don't really know my alcohols, so its all the same to me.

  • Im totally in love with the bass, especially when it does that little walkdown! And the "yeeeeah" in the background totally completes the song. And the wah on the guitar is pretty tubular, too!

  • @senz20 dude

  • im luvin this guys music hes got soul like a ginger

  • Is this tune not on Itunes?

  • 3:06 lol advertisment

  • Pozytywna w chu*!!

  • This song is awesomeness

  • I thought Bill Withers sang this! Wow, he sounds exactly like him!

  • now, THIS, is how you sell some gin!

  • I Bet He Gets So Much. Pussy.. :)

  • I was really happy when I didn't need to watch an advertisement for this video, so I celebrated with some tanquery!

  • where can I download this, its not showing up on itunes

  • @Slyteradon on the Tanqueray site I believe

  • funkiest stuff ever

  • haha a commercial brought me here just to find this song. :D

  • somewhere bill withers is smiling...and for you young en's who don't know who bill withers..look em up...he was aloe blacc when you were still in yer daddy's beanbag.

  • @MrChiffy should stuff them back in so he can f..k some sense in them...

  • KHEPIC!

  • that's what she said.. :)

  • fucking dope love stones throw

  • my buddy saw the tanqueray commercial and has been hooked to this song, gotta admit, its damn good music ;)

  • holy crap this is my favourite artist how did i not hear his music before?

  • Amazing artist! I've been listening to more of this genre I've been looking for more great music. If anyone has some suggestions since all my friends listen to eminem and electronic music. I could use some assistance finding this real music!

  • DAAMMMMMMNNN! You can't mimic a sound like that from another time, another generation. This guy inherited it from his elders! I remember the stuff my dad used to listen to right around the time he read Roots by Alex Haley and followed Mohammad Ali's career etc etc. This is it. We need a revival. Your nostalgia is better than Xanax for all the young people that don't remember. Blacc is a time machine!

  • @AliAbraham51 lol your right! respect!

  • aint nothin you can tell me ive seen it all before, tonite im goin downtown

  • @sprague916 It was written for the Tanqueray commercial, so you can't really say it was on the album first... And buying the album doesn't make you a true fan.

  • @eidolism fair point, just saying i have had his albums before everyone liked this song because of the commercial

  • One Word: Amazing.

  • where can i find the lyrics?

  • @akhenat0n google

  • O.G'ish!!!

  • haha thats funny, yeah I saw the commercial a few times, and then I'm like ":I i needa find this damn song"

  • @AlexErnestoPavez Me too.

  • Heard "I need a dolla" on CFXU a couple months back - this guy is pretty talented

  • Thumbs up if you looked for this because of the Tanqueray commercial.

  • @mcnutt1991 Yeah lol i saw the commercial and knew it was a good song even though there was only like6 sec on it D

  • Been looking for this song for a week. Motherfucking found you.

  • if you dislike this song, you really are an idiot

  • Thanks man!

  • ok, where can I download this? It's not on itunes

  • @HeathanzSinz just use a youtube to mp3 website.

  • @Flightkid9 or go buy the album like a real fan

  • @sprague916 He asked where he could download it, not where he could buy it. I really couldn't care less if you don't consider me a "real fan" for doing that which btw I haven't.

  • @Flightkid9 I don't give a shit what you do, downloading doesn't support the music he's making they put out albums for the people who care for it before it was on a tanquery commercial.

  • @sprague916 Well than stop annoying me and complaining, if you really didn't care you would just leave it be.

  • @Flightkid9 Alright ass clown, sorry

  • @HeathanzSinz it's available for download via tanqueray's website.

  • Let cutter your pissed huh

  • i saw that gin commercial and was like hmm that sounds like aloe blacc

  • Thumbs up if the gin brought you here.

  • Anyone else been around the block a few times and seen it all before as well? Love the 70's vibe. It's like Bill Witherspoon meets Bobby Womack.

  • this is my favorit from now!

  • IM KENNY POWERS !

  • I'd heard of Aloe Blacc before I need a dollar was big, that was the first song I heard by him on last.fm on my xbox, just random encounter. So glad I discovered him because there's a lack of real musicians/singers these days who can do it not only without autotune, but also sound magnificent whilst doing so.

  • @OneAndOnlyMrWest Well aren't you special? You heard of him before some other people did. Would you like a hero cookie? A ticker tape parade, perhaps? Aren't you just a special, unique little snowflake...just like everyone else. Everybody's heard, seen, done, ate something before it became cool at some point it means absolutely nothing except you stumbled onto a little earlier than some other people did. Big....freakin....whoop.

  • @LeCutter Ha, love the reply!

  • man he definately sounds like a young and new bill withers

  • Heard the TV commercial playing in another room, this dude ROCKS!!!!!!

  • This track is Boss!!!

  • this will be noted cataloged and filed under win

  • going to see him in december cant wait! such an amazing singer!

  • Goddamn this dude is Badass !!!! Anthony Hamilton , Aloe Blacc and Raphael Saadiq are bringing it back!!!!! I could listen to this 24/7.

  • I heard it on the commercial too, and was like, wha? I just recently discovered Rapheal Saadiq, so my ears have been well fed. Love, love, love this music.

  • i heard this song on a comerical and i was like that sound like the guy who sings i need a dollar and thats how i found this song

  • @l7l7l ME TO!!!! sounds just like him

  • Soul is making a huge comeback, and I am loving it.!

  • /watch?v=OgCiHFdZzyQ

  • i wish black musicians always did this kind of music, not that gangster rap crap.
